No as Depicted
The pictures of the property obviously taken some time ago, long ago! The toilet would not shut off and I had to turn the water off at the wall. The property was so overgrown I doubt I could find a dog in the so called “fenced” yard that was missing numerous boards. One bedroom had a hole in the wall.

Great quick stay
We enjoyed our time at this house and found it to be as listed. It is about 3rd row back from the beach, but a quick walk to the bridge over the dunes. Our dog was very comfortable here. FYIs the fence is not very tall and probably only good for small dogs to use as an actual fence. We were there in Nov right after Thanksgiving and the mosquitos were awful. Bring all the spray and everything else.

Quick get away
7 of us came for a quick trip to surfside. This is the second time we have stayed in this home. Small but cozy. Everything you need to make meals is there and that is super important to me. Be advised that they require you to wash and dry all lines and towels before departing or you get a fee tacked on. Location is right beside a beach entrance to the county beach so that was awesome as we did not want to be on surfside city beach.

Not great
There is no water. Not enough water pressure to take a shower or make coffee. It took over 30mins to fill the coffee pot with water. There is certainly not enough to do more than 1 task at a a time AND you have to wait in between tasks for it to build up pressure again. Having to wash the towels and linens and run the dishwasher is ridiculous given the lack of available water and also unreasonable with the 10am checkout time. Would not stay here again because of the water and laundry issues. The rest was fine.

Family Fun
While the picture of proximity to the beach was not correct the walk was not not bad at all, even for the little ones. We had no issues with mosquitoes walking back and forth. The bridge crossover to the beach is in need of some repairs. The house was good just never got used to feeling the sway of a house on stilts lol or the horrible smell of the water in the house. Overall we had a great time and the host is great and super quick to respond.

Great Location
It really is a very easy walk to the beach. We could easily go back and forth as needed. The beach area was clean and not overly busy. One thing I didn't know about Surfside Beach is that you can drive your car on the beach. It was odd to have cars on the beach but also useful to have an easy way to haul all of your items to the beach. The house itself is small but has everything needed. The kitchen is well stocked. Our only challenge was low water pressure, which I hear is common for the island location. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house to friends.

great beach getaway
Location was great. Easy to get to beach. Plenty of beds for our group of five. We had a great time. The only two areas that could use improvement were: there were few cleaning supplies ( we tend to clean up as we go) and the TV/ cable was a real struggle. Really could have used a page of clear instructions about which remote to use for what purpose, etc. A call to the owner helped but a set of instructions would be best for all. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Birthday Beach Trip
Great location, comfy beds, nice views. We had a blast here, cant complain about much. We didnt like that you had to wash all used lines, dry , and put away however we knew ahead of time so we just took our own so we wouldnt have to do that. Stove didnt work very well. Location was super awesome. Very close to the beach and close enough to town yet far enough out. Would be happy to stay here again!! Owner was awesome! My friends daughter left her little bear with her ear pods in her bed and the owner was quick to ship them right back to us!! Great Stay!
