The host was very helpful and accommodating making check in a breeze. The house was perfect for us and our dog, it was properly stocked with all the necessities. We loved being only footsteps to the beach. Overall we had a wonderful time and we look forward to coming back next year.
Loved how close it was to the beach. The beach house was nice, loved how they had extra sand toys (nets/boogie boards) for the kids. Will be staying here again!
This property was great to stay with small kids and a teen who all love being at the beach 24/7! It was so easy to walk down to the beach with nothing and be able to come back to the house for breaks, showers and naps. The house was cute, clean and had everything we needed. We plan to book again soon!
It is a nice little place steps away from the water. Short walk to the jetty and park. Only complaint is the driveway, the sand is soft and if you are in a small vehicle you might have trouble, my truck has no problems. Already looking to rebook the Surf Rider in coming months!!!

My family loved the house - perfect for us and our two sons. Beach just steps out of the door
The beach house is clean and steps away from the sand! Great water views from the patio. Perfect location. Great communication with owners. We will definitely be staying here again!
Wonderful location with great views! We stay in Surfside frequently and really enjoyed this location, you can’t get any closer to the beach. Host was very responsive. The house is smaller than what we are used to (family of 5) but the layout worked and it was clean!
The house was amazing and the location can’t be beat
On the pedestrian only beach. The whole area reminds me of a old beach community. We will be back!
We got an early check in, thanks to our Great Host, Kat! Spent our 40th anniversary here this weekend. House was perfect! Everything we needed was there. Only question we had was why was there no tv in the bedroom? It ended up ok because there was one in the bedroom with the twin beds. Queen bed was super comfy! We walked the beach and even went and explored the Fort. We downloaded the “Vessels” app and as we sat out on the beautiful deck we could see where the ships were from, coming into the harbor! Lots of fun! The house was super cute and very clean. The ONLY problem was the fact that the perfect weekend went by way too fast! We can’t wait til we can come back.
Literally steps away from the beach .. maybe four steps! The house is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay - perfect size for the two of us and our fur baby. My favorite part is the deck and the great view we had of the ocean and the jetty. Will keep this in on my favorites list!
We enjoyed a few days rest and relaxation.The house was clean and cool.The beds were comfortable.we had every thing we needed.
Our grandson enjoyed the beach while I could watch from the balconey.
We plan to return
It was the perfect size for 2 and 2 fur babies. Perfect views, the house had everything we needed. We forgot our cards, well they had some. The fur babies could run free on the deck. We all had a great time.
The house was very clean and I can't say enough about the location. This is probably the best beach house I have ever stayed in. And we go very often. And the owner answered questions within minutes. Thank you Kat. I will be back.
