All the things a host can control are well done. The city water situation, non potable and smelly, is less than ideal. Would still rent again

5th stay at Dolphins View
As always, we enjoyed our stay, being just a few steps away from the beach is so convenient and we have the best morning and evening views. This spot is always our first go to place to rent when in Surfside.

Fabulous just like every year
My two friends and I stay at this house the same time every year for over 5 years! We LOVE this place. The location could not be more perfect! The house is always clean and the decorations are so cute!! Before we left we booked next year! Looking for a beach front property with an awesome big deck overlooking the ocean? Look no further! This is it!

Surfside Stay
Well, the property was good, although there are a number of maintenance items that should be addressed. The destination is one we will not likely repeat (not at all a problem with the owner of the property), but the lack of drinkable water and the odor of the water from faucets made a big difference to us. The home itself is pretty well maintained....but I would recommend and update of the outdoor cushions (there's no real cushion in the cushions), replacement of a couple pots and pans would help visitors use the induction cooktop, and either replacement of or addition to cooking utensils would be a big plus! The living room was fine, the single bathroom was excellent, and the second bathroom was also in good shape.

You can't get any closer...to the beach, that is!
This was a nice little getaway for me and my kiddos. You literally can't any closer to the beach. Communication with the property manager was excellent. She even reached out to me during our trip to ensure we were enjoying our staying and had everything we needed. The hike to and from the car, for me, was a bit strenuous however I was solo with two children, if you get my drift. If you have man power or an extra adult, it'll be a walk in the park. I know my situation is a bit rare. I have no complaints and me and my kids would love to return in the future. This time I'll bring help. Lol You'll love it. ❤️
