Great spacious layout and canal was perfect to fit our 39’ boat. Had a great time and can’t wait to return. In my opinion, one of the best locations for larger groups in surfside that we have found.

This is our second stay in this house and we love it! So much room, everything you could need and very close to restaurants, bars and the beach. & if you don't feel like going out you can fish off the dock, play air hockey, ping pong or corn hole. We had ages ranging from 21 - 70 and there was something for everyone.
