History of Sun N Surf:
Back in the early 1950's, the owner's Dad, “Papa Z” purchased this plot of beach land— it was really untamed, wild and bare bones. Growing from a one room cinder block cabin with hand pump water well, it’s become their favorite family vacation destination, complete with every modern convenience.

The owners have been part-time residents of Inlet Beach for many decades now, watching as 30A has become a preferred destination for beach-goers everywhere, visitors who love the restaurants in the area and activities in Rosemary Beach, Alys and Seaside. And most of all, love the sand and surf! We know you will love your vacation at Sun n Surf, and hope you will return year after year to enjoy this special place.

Enjoy Big Kahuna’s Water Park, Black Light Mini Golf, and scenic bike rides with complimentary rentals. Explore 30A with ease and adventure!

July beach trip

I read the reviews a few weeks before our trip and saw the complaints about the condition of the house. After having stayed there last week, I will acknowledge that the house is old and there are some updates that can be done. However, those issues did nothing to diminish our stay. The location is second to none in terms of access to the beach (just mere steps), the view and the convenience to restaurants, groceries and other shopping. In short, it was a great trip and we are likely to stay at this house again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy to find, easy check in/out, and the home had all we needed for a great beach vacation! Being right on the beach at an affordable price were our 2 main goals, and this place was 5 star on those 2 fronts. There were some minor aesthetic issues (exposed screw coming out of a small broken tile in one shower back wall, one light switch not working just right, minor rust on window), but for the price and location, it was easy to overlook those minor things.

The Location is all you are paying for.

The house is so outdated it’s sad. The house moves when someone walks up the ramp outside and on the patio. The owners need to put some serious love into this house. I am not going to say much more, management company should say something to the owners.

Best location!

Is this the fanciest, most beautiful house on the beach? No. It could use some TLC. Some doors are hard to open (or don’t open at all), the outdoor shower can’t be used because the door is rotted, the deck railing looks a little unstable, and some things are a bit wonky. BUT, the location is completely amazing. Having a gorgeous private beach in the midst of tons of people on both sides made this perfect. The house is close to everything and very convenient. Manage your expectations about the house and you will have an incredible time.

Unresponsive, Cranky Owners; Meh Accommodations; A+ location

The good: the location is fantastic. Gorgeous beach and you walk right onto it. The so so: the decor is VERY dated as is the furniture; Property managers were pleasant to deal with but slow on the response. The bad: the owners are unresponsive (sent a message requesting a modification of our stay on April 10; sent a reminder on the 13th; finally on the 21st I had to call the property management company to process the request) and cranky; one of the king size beds upstairs is so hard it's not habitable; the ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom is hung so low it's a safety hazard for anyone over 5'11"; there were small things like no toilet paper holder, etc. If you're looking for luxury this is not your place.

Great location

You truly can’t ask for a better location, super quiet, everyone in the neighborhood was very respectful and having a private beach is always nice. The house needs some work. The flooring in the bathroom needs to be replaced asap, it was covered with a rug unknown if intentional or not, the tile throughout the house is cracked and loose in areas. The carpet in the upstairs has a weird musty smell. There were a few spots we noticed that had mold on the walls/ceiling. The floors and walls need a good deep clean as there were dirty hand prints / food splashed on them. We did have a little problem with having roaches in the house the last day. However, management was extremely quick to respond and let us know they scheduled pest control to come out. Management was also in contact with us daily to make sure there was nothing we needed, which was a plus. All in all, it’s a decent place to stay for the location. If the house receives its needed repairs and maybe a little sprucing up, we’d be booking yearly.

Technology is great when it works

Major issues with front door lock. Had to have maintenance let us in twice. Once upon arrival which took us an hour to get into the property and another time when the door locked us out due to battery failure. Washer did not spin out water from the clothes. Dryer had issues drying. The deck needs major repairs. And not just the railing and current project that was going on. Disappointed we had to look through caution tape and security boards nailed up on the main viewing area on the deck. Needs general maintenance like paint, light bulbs, cabinets, windows and glass doors cleaned! Location is great. The sound of the waves and walks on the beach were awesome. Overall a great time with family. P.S. check for cockroaches. A large one was at the kitchen bar when we checked out.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is breathtaking. Beach is perfect. No one around us. This is a private beach deeded to the water, so it's possible to get beach service here. BEME was kind enough to add us after having problems finding someone. The house really needs TLC. The master bed was comfortable but the one upstairs had an indention in the middle. The walls looked as it they started started patching and stopped. The outdoor shower was unusable because it was stuffed with beach gear. The closet bikes are in is crammed with were ladders, paint, 4 bikes, etc and it was really difficult to get a bike out. Once we did it was rusted up. The kitchen was nicely equipped. We had plenty of towels. The view and the location is fabulous. I walked to rosemary beach in my morning walk. Would definitely rent again.

Great views but house needs serious love and care

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You can’t beat the view and quiet beach. It is truly second to none. But the house needs updating badly. The bedding is old and the furniture is worn and the house needs painting badly. It just felt like it had not been taken care of. As you come down the stairs to the beach there are weeds that were on the pathway that tear up your feet and also in front of the house they didn’t maintain the property. Weeds and unmanageable shrubs everywhere. The vents in just about every room have mold or some sort of something coming out of then.Also I stepped on the small porch in the bedroom upstairs and it felt like my foot was going through the floor beam . I told my daughter not to go out there. Also woke up two mornings in a row to roaches on the ceiling. If someone (the rental property owner) would put some love into this property it would be amazing.

Please please read comments before staying

The management company was always responsive. The views are amazing but the “private beach” is not enforced and you need to get there early to get seating. The house itself needs a lot of work. There is mold coming out of 50% of the a/c vents, there is also mold coming up the wall in the dining room. The dishwasher racking never shut properly or sat evenly in the machine so we couldn’t use it. The dryer worked but needed to run 3 times to dry the load. Of the 3 TVs in the house one worked properly which was the living room. The outdoor shower has junk/chairs/umbrellas so it was not really usable. The bike area was completely full of junk which made the bikes nearly impossible to get out. The grill has a back leg missing and we couldn’t use it either. The deck railing is in very bad shape and there was multiple chairs and umbrellas chained to the deck making it a bit difficult to go up and down the steps. Under the back deck is a ton of trash and what looked like beach toys/chairs that are broken and left maybe from other renters. The outlet under the tv is completely out of the wall and in the master shower there is a broken tile with a razor sharp piece of metal coming out which caused a bad cut for us. The tile in the bathroom is loose and rocks back and forth every time you step on it. The upstairs floor vent is completely bent in and sharp and one of the chairs on the deck is broken. Over all great view, I would not recommend the home.
