A great place

We loved our stay here. Plenty of towels and space and the beds were pretty comfortable. The a/c worked great and there are fans in the rooms too which we loved. It was an easy walk to the beach and the deck was lovely. A couple of notes: we are used to making food vs going out, and there weren’t a lot of dishes / utensils for that, but we got by. The dishes in the cabinet weren’t clean but I think that was more that they were loaded into the dishwasher pretty dirty and it didn’t catch everything, so we had to hand wash everything before we used them. These are all really minor things that wouldn’t stop us from booking again, but just for anyone using it in the future. We love Surfside and can’t wait to come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was walking distance to the beach. The fenced in yard was great for our dogs but be sure to bring OFF for the mosquitoes . Check in was confusing since the directions I received about downloading an app for the door lock was not needed. The place was neat but needed a deep cleaning. We found candy and chip wrappers under the coffee table and bed. The house layout was perfect for my family and kitchen was easy to cook in but needed deep clean and updated pots and pans. We left as soon as we realized that the tap water was yellow and smelled like sewage. The owner tried to help us troubleshoot but ultimately said the water is always like that and there was nothing he could do. We were disappointed that we were only refunded a portion of our rental fee. We felt like this property description was misleading because it did not disclose that the water was unacceptable.

We had a great time on our recent visit. The fenced in yard was even better than expected, which worked really well for us as we were traveling with our dog. The house is very comfortable and close to the beach, and the overseer was really responsive to any concerns we had during our stay. We plan to return

The Rock House

The house itself was great, very nice furnishings and clean. The yard was great for the fur babies and the deck was good. However there was no laundry soap, no dishwasher soap, no water in fridge, no drinks, no coffee pods as this was all in the information that was sent me. Had issues connecting to internet and trouble getting the code correct. Will I book this property again, no I will not stay here again.

Great place to stay

This place was amazing! Loved the view and access to the beach. Very nice and relaxing place to stay. The house was lovely and very clean. Sitting outside on the deck was my favorite part about the house! Listening to the ocean feeling the breeze and watching all the birds. Very nice fenced in yard for my fur babies to enjoy although the smell Yorkie was able to escape through the gate lol she couldn’t get enough of going to the beach and for walks and the community. I will be recommending this place to others and I will be back. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great Place!!

We stayed for a few days with my family. Everything was nice and clean as advertised. The only complaint that is out of the property managers control was the water. At first the water had a foul smell to it. I ran a reset on the water heater to hopefully flush out the bad water but it didn't help. The property manager mentioned the local water has its ups and downs. Showers weren't the best and everyone brushed their teeth with water bottles. At the end of the day everything was fantastic and nice minus the water dilemma. Property manager was very responsive and respectful.

Cozy

We had a nice time and the only recommendation is to turn the A/C on before guests arrival. It was set 80 degrees when we arrived and the weather was hot and humid outside, so everyone was super hot for a couple hours before it finally cooled down enough to be comfortable. I have stayed in several short term rentals and the a/c has always been set to a comfortable temperature. The only other issue we had was that there were only 5 spoons in the house and we were a group of 7.

Last minute summer trip

The house is great. Clean, comfortable and well stocked with what you need. Easy access to beach with short walk and also close to vehicle access roads. No complaints, only a few suggestions. Maybe time for a new refrigerator. It doesn’t cool that great. Also the front door doesn’t click shut, it only pulls to unless you lock it.

Family and pet friendly.

Rock House is great for families and pets. They have a large fenced area for the dogs to enjoy the outdoors and a gate at the top of the stairs to keep pets or even children from leaving the deck. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beach is a short walk down the street and over the boardwalk. The nearest boardwalk does have stairs so it's a bit tricky with a wagon or stroller. It's just as easy to drive to the beach as well. We were very happy with our stay.
