Even though this house is not directly on the beach, it feels like it, since it has a clear view of the beach and is just a few steps to the boardwalk to the beach. We really enjoyed the laidback atmosphere of surfside beach, and the beach itself is great, it had lots of room for us to hang out, relax and play. The house itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our large family of 8. We really liked the large deck and spent a lot of our time on it. There is also a cool little local souvenir shop a short walk from the house.
