“Great house at a great location!”

“Clean!! Kitchen was clean and equipped!! We had a blast and will be back !!”

“This property was perfect for our family gathering. There was plenty of beds and space for everyone. The kids enjoyed the game room upstairs while the adults visited on the main floor. The owners were great about communicating and responding quickly to our messages and were accommodating for our needs.”

“The house was fabulous !!! clean, spacious, and lived up to expectations. It is located in a very quiet and safe area, close to the beach. Highly recommended.”

“Tons of space and beds for a large group. You can’t tell that the upstairs is pretty separate from the downstairs level in the description, making it feel like two separate areas which was kind of cool to separate the teenage boys in our group to their own area with game room. It would have been 5 stars but showers had noticeable mold in all of them and some areas just didn’t seem as well taken care of, but overall we were good with the space. The pool needed to be cleaned, but they sent someone immediately when I brought it to their attention.”

“Great accommodations for our group of 27! Plenty of space to spread out, several fridges for drinks and food. Would recommend if you have a large group you are trying to accommodate!”

“The house was beautiful and perfect for our large family! The pool is also amazing after a long day at the beach!”

“Nice big place if you need a big space with plenty of beds”

“Todo muy bien… Volveríamos..En la cocina tienes todo lo que necesitas.. Una casa increíble para disfrutar con tu familia. Buena comunicación con el anfitrión. Gracias”

“Had a quiet stay great bed in every room. We will visit again soon.”

“Really enjoyed the place, Jessica was great to plan with and very quick to reply. Unfortunately, we had some issues with the AC/Heater. It was freezing downstairs. Otherwise, great experience!”

“Absolutely great place for large group. More than enough sleeping places, ample amenities, 4 bathrooms which is amazing.”

“The house is very large and has plenty of space for a family to spread out and relax. The pool was great and we used it everyday. We made a Cajun boil and ate it on the huge table on the deck. We will stay here again. ”

“Jessica place served it's purpose. It's very spacious and many beds for over 25 people. My suggestion is changing the stove and getting a bigger grill.”

“Jessica was very prompt in responding to our queries. The ping pong ball was missing but she got it delivered within 2 hours along with some additional goodies. I would certainly recommend to stay at this place :).”

“One of the few places that actually lived up to the expectations. Jessica was responsive and very helpful. Enjoyed the private pool and the game room. Overall we had a great time and would be glad to be back again soon.”

“My family of 4 and a friend's family of 4 stayed here and we loved it! Our kids range from 7 months to 5 years old, it was perfect. Having the pool in the afternoons was great. Check in was so easy. We will definitely be back!”

“We had a great stay at this house! It was super spacious and perfect for our large group of 24, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. The pool was definitely a highlight; clean, relaxing, and a great spot to hang out together. The home was well-equipped, and exactly as described. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay with a big group!”

“The place was great. The only issues we had were with the AC. But to be honest we had alot of kids in and out all day, so that probably contributed to that issue. But overall our stay was great and we would do it again. ”

“A great place to host a high school retreat for our high school group! They loved it and there’s plenty of spots for everyone to have their own space. Thank you, Jessica!”

“Great place. We intentionally had a smaller party than the home is designed for so everyone had plenty of room. The pool hits the spot. The location is a minute drive to surf side beach or the surf side jetty to fish. Everything you need for a large group meal is available in the kitchen. If you want a Hotel ZAZA experience this isn’t it. If you want an amazing middle class, multifamily experience it is perfect.”

“My kid have a good time there at the arbnb”

“Great value, you get what you pay for! This isn’t the Bellagio & the price reflects that. It’s a very good house with lots of space & in a nice location. Thank you!”

“This was my family’s 2nd trip to Surfside, and this property never fails. It exceeded our expectations making our experience memorable. We loved the location and amenities are designed for large groups. The kids did not want to leave. May God Bless the owners for allowing us to make memories. ”

“The stay was perfect, pool was refreshing kids loved the game room. The beds were comfortable bathrooms were very clean The fridge in laundry room didn’t work and a small leak in the living room ceiling. But didn’t ruin our trip. Would book again ”

“Great beachside house with pool! If you want the salty air and ample sleeping space, but are more fulfilled swimming in clear water and going to the beach between this is a spot!”

“Enjoyed our ours. Will rent again.”

“Thank you for opening your home to us. It was a pleasure to be your guest!”
