Family beach vacation

Could not have picked a better property to take our kids to their first beach vacation! The house and location were just perfect. Beach in the morning as soon as the kids woke up. Pool in the afternoon after nap time. We rented a golf cart and could get to everything in town in less than 5 minutes. We might return every summer and stay at the Surf Betty!

Our Second Time Staying

We had another great time at Surf Betty. Location is great - close to town, but also very peaceful. Dipping pool came in very handy with the heat and humidity after a day at the beach.

Great Property

4 adults for 4 days, property as described. Wonderfully appointed....plenty of towels, kitchen supplies, comfortable environment, not lacking anything we needed. Dipping Pool is small but a welcome addition. Slight glitch with internet delayed getting code, but owner was very responsive and worked through it quickly.

Wonderful stay at Surf Betty

The minute we walked into Surf Betty we knew we had made a great choice on a vacation rental. All the furnishings and amenities were first class. The pool was small but according to my 3 and 6 year old granddaughters “this is the best pool ever.” We will be staying again in the future

Fans of Surf Betty

The entire property was absolutely beautiful! No detail was spared on this home. Although the rain limited our beach time this weekend, we were able to enjoy the fantastic plunge pool and outdoor patio on our first night. Our group enjoyed lots of cooking together, as some lounged on the oversized sofa and watched movies in between naps. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We were conveniently located to everything. Communication with the host was great. Everyone in our party of 8 would love to visit SurfBetty again.

Great Property!

We had a great time at Surf Betty. Having a pool to look forward to after a day at the beach is a good thing! You placed the patio just right to have shade at the hotest part of the day! Our last dinner was at the table on the patio as we enjoyed the sea breeze with our dinner.

Surf Betty was a great beach house with a great location! It had all the amenities we needed. There were two couples and my 13 year old son. Thanks for going above and beyond to let us get in a bit early to get my son’s medication in the refrigerator. We would love to come back and stay!

The Plunge Pool 🙌🏻

Our family chose the Surf Betty to stay for our vacation and it was incredible. The layout of the property was perfect for our party size (5 adults and a 3-year old), and the plunge pool is THE BOMB. After a day at the beach being able to return to the house, rinse off, and cool down in the pool (much larger than it appears) was the best experience. Our son also enjoyed the stairs, the Apple TV, and the pool. This was a wonderful family vacation for us, my parents, and sister and we’d absolutely stay again. Thanks to Donna and Mattie for being so responsive and gracious with everything. 😎😀
