At your Surfside I condo you will find that the public beach access is nor
more than 75 yards away making it very convenient for families to get to. As
you walk in you will notice the open concept kitchen that flows thru to the
dining & living room areas and glass door to your private patio outside.
While this complex is slightly older & an Island original, it is set up so
well for a great stay with a fenced courtyard for kids to play, a heated
community hot tub, & swimming pool to finish off your kiddos energy after a
long day at the beach
This space is on the 2nd level requiring you to go up 2 flights of stairs but
what is nice is you get a nice little view off your patio of the courtyard &
hot tub area with patio furniture to sip a margarita or morning coffee. This
is a 2 bedroom / 1.5 bathroom that has a full bathroom tub & shower as well as
ample bedding.
Surfside is walkable to Kellys Irish Pub (1 block) for great drink specials or
their infamous Rueben sandwiches plus their kitchen is open until at least 11
pm; the new fine dining at Captains Cove (same Owners as Yummies & Viva) that
is about 3 city blocks away; Cigar Full Service bar (2 blocks) Coral Reef Bar
for nightly Karaoke (4 blocks) or hit the beach & walk about 500 yards down to
Bar Louie or Clayton’s Beach Bar
In the master bedroom you will find a king bed, flat screen smart TV, and
connected en suite half bath with sink/stool. There is a small walk thru
closet so that master bedroom guests do not have to go into the kitchen/living
room to shower affording more privacy.
The guest bedroom has a unique queen bed with a pull out trundle bed under
that makes a great kids bunkroom or for a couple with a small child that can
stay with them on the pullout. There is another small flat screen in here for
kiddos to watch at the end of the day. This bedroom is adjacent to the full
bathroom as well.
The living room has a sleeper sofa that is a very small full bed, as well as
extra side chair great to watch the larger flat screen smart TV or play a
family board game night for great conversation & memories.
The eat in counter is perfect to also get some work done on your laptop (yes –
wifi / internet free) with the additional dining table & chairs. Speaking of
the kitchen ours if fully equipped with all pots, pans dishes – just bring
your food to enjoy more convenient & affordable home cooked meals.
There is a washer & dryer stackable that is nice to freshen up during your
stay or before you go home. While this condo is not brand new nor fully
remodeled (not super duper fancy) it is professionally cleaned and has all
tile floors plus comfortable furniture we think you will enjoy. The overall
square footage is about 850.
One cool feature as even though this is a 2nd floor condo, you will have
access to ground floor garage space for beachgear, wagons etc though not for a
vehicle a golf cart could fit.

multiple properties here that you can bundle up and all stay at the same
