Beachfront Getaway
This house was very clean and beyond well-stocked with games, pillows/linens, kitchen utensils galore. Beautiful beach sunrises every morning and one very spectacular (huge!) blood moon rising during our stay. Hosts were very communicative and thought of just about everything before we did. No good grocery stores in the Surfside area, so highly recommend making a stop at one of the bigger towns as you make your way towards the coast to stock up on supplies.

Relaxing family time.
We have stayed here before and love this house and location. We stayed this time just after the hurricane. Sad to see the damage, the dunes missing etc. But our stay here was perfect again! The host was easy to contact and quick to respond. The house is so fully stocked for family meals. The beds comfy. Our family of 4 adults and 4 kids love this place!! We are already checking our calendar to make it back before the end of the year. I must also add the fishing was great, we even caught a baby hammerhead shark! This is our happy place. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We also got to meet a maintenance representative who was very friendly! If you want a nice, relaxing experience on the beach front, stay here.

Thanksgiving delight
We spent our Thanksgiving week in the beautiful home. We have 4 adults and 3 kids. Everyone was so happy with the stay. It is right on the beach. Perfection. The beds comfy. The kitchen fully stocked. If you are looking for a great place, stay here. We will be back.
The only constructive criticism we have is please replace the light bulbs on the patios and in the string lights. We did not have any outdoor lighting and it is a bit dark. We used our flashlights we brought, and we did not report it, as it's Thanksgiving week and noone wants to be doing minor maintenence like that on a holiday. It wasn't a big deal for us. But worth mentioning for future guests.
The layout of the house was perfect. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need! We made Thanksgiving dinner!
The tv worked great and the game closet was well stocked.
The rooms had very comfy beds, and were perfect for the little ones that wanted to sleep by their parents. The bunk room perfect for the older ones! The bathrooms were sparkling, plenty of towels.. the water is as described so we used bottled water for toothbrushing and cooking.
The location was beautiful. Right on the beach, kids and adults were thrilled with that! We caught several red fish and catfish right from the beach! The beach was very clean. The home was easy to find.
We are already planning our next trip with the rest of our kiddos.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. We didn't want to leave.

Comfortable, spacious and a great beach!
Lovely building and layout with plenty of deck space. Well supplied with all the kitchen and living essentials. Beach is over a mile long and is pure walkable/driveable sand. Nice location with a great ocean view and sunrises worth the seeing. We enjoyed our stay - even in January - and found the location and Ver La Mer Abode to be an outstanding homebase. A great week!

Great Beach House, great location right on beach. Kitchen was the most well equipped we have seen over the past 15 years of staying at VRBO Properties. All you need to bring is food. It says it all when your 4-year-old Granddaughter says, "I love this House. It is so beautiful." Highly recommend this beach house.

Great Family Beach House
I am pretty picky about places we stay and their cleanliness level. This house was super clean and the kitchen was amazingly stocked with utensils for a family that likes to cook. The beds were so comfy as was the sectional couch we all enjoyed relaxing on. The porch and furniture also gave us another place to hang out together and eat. Glad we were able to bring my daughter’s dog and our elderly dog as it felt like home with them there with us. The beach was easily accessible from the house. Our Labor Day weekend was spectacular in large part due to this house and what it provided for our family of three generations.

Perfect Beach Getaway
This house was everything they promised and more. There were 6 of us staying in the house for a week and the property could have easily accommodated several more. The porches overlook the gulf and getting to the beach was as easy as walking out the door and over a wooden bridge. We enjoyed watching the wildlife (crabs) and of course playing on the beach. The kitchen is completely ready for you to whip up your favorite beach snack or fruity drink with every kitchen appliance/gadget you could think of. The decorations are nice but not cluttered, making it feel like a home away from home. The beds are comfortable and plentiful. The washer and dryer are really nice in case there is a luggage mishap (happened to us).
We didn’t need to reach out to the property manager because everything we needed to know was provided in a binder left for us on the counter. Although many of their communications prior to our stay were legalese and not friendly sounding, they were very sweet and reached out to make sure that we had our code and were able to make it in the property (which we were without any issues).
Overall, I’d give our stay more stars if I could. The property was wonderful, the amenities top notch, the property managers caring, no issues whatsoever. I’d recommend this property to anyone.

Incredible stay at Ver la Mer
First, let me start out by saying the pictures online do not do this property justice. The cleanliness, decor, location are all unmatched! We were impressed by the layout of the home as well as all of the kitchen necessities- all brand new. We stayed for 1 week and were sad to leave. The communication with the property manager was easy, and quick response time. We had a couple of questions throughout the stay, and were met with an answer very quickly. We were very happy with our choice in homes, and would love to stay again!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
The property was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed for cooking for and sharing meals. There was a bar in walking distance, so very easy to walk down for a drink and walk back safely to the house. One evening we drove to the Seahorse for a great meal - a couple of us chose to walk back via the beach and it was the perfect distance to walk off a big meal. Great time - will hopefully rent again before the year is out!

We rented the place for a family reunion and the place was amazing! Very clean...and I mean clean! The kitchen was great. Plenty of housewears and pots and pans. Excellent views from the house. The veranda was my favorite...large table and plenty chairs to hang out with the family. The beach can get crowded on the weekend but the beautiful house makes up for it.

Guinea pigs acting as babysitters for builder punchlist
AC broken for three of six nights we were there, babysat ac contractors three different days.
The tap water, brushing teeth, gave both my wife and I stomach cramps and diahrea. This was frustrating because a simple $1200 whole house dual filter plus UV light would fix the issue, and should be expected at the price point.
Construction debris and broken glass around the property, not on the beach, but on the actual house property.
Master bedroom had no hanging storage, the closet in the room is locked off for the owner. At six nights you need to offer hanging storage.
At half the price it would have been annoying. At this price it was ridiculous.
Asked property manager to provide a mobile ac or window unit on the their day of ac troubles and they replied that they don't have any (Walmart 20mins down the road) so we had to deal with the ac repair men from 12:30 to 8:34pm that day.
Beach location was awesome. Stocked kitchen was awesome. Deck was awesome.
Just didn't appreciate being guinea pigs testing out their new listing / acting as a builders punchlist repair service.
