Comfortable, clean house in great location
Our kids enjoyed playing with the toys at the house after a day at the beach, which was within walking distance. We brought our own beach towels and chairs but didn’t need to since the owners provide them. Our family had a s’mores night at the outdoor fire pit. This was our third stay at this property and we’ll be back again.

Great location for the 4th!
We stayed over the 4th of July and it was the perfect location for downtown activities and a few blocks to the lake to watch the fireworks. The farmers market on Saturdays is also just a few steps away. Will definitely stay again

Loved it!
From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated to fun and whimsical decor and amenities. There was literature available about the area, as well as toys for my 6-year-old grandson, games and bikes for the teens, and a fire pit and gazebo, where the adults could relax. I wish there were more stars to give - our stay was truly a 10!

We really enjoyed staying at this property! It was very clean and cute and even had extras that were nice for our stay like games and garage access to store our bikes. I also like how close it was to the downtown area and the bike trails. The property managers were incredibly helpful with any issues that we had. I would definitely stay here again.

We were in town for a concert at The Surf and this house was the best location for us to walk right over. The beds and furniture were super comfortable and the bedding smelled so clean. It’s decorated so cute and felt very welcoming! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating as well. We will for sure stay here again.

A Great Getaway
This was our second stay at 3rd and Surf. We enjoy the layout of the home and find it truly meets our needs for a relaxing girls weekend. The rental is easy walking distance to town or a walk by the lake. The yard and gazebo were both wonderful places to sit and take in the beautiful sunny weekend with life-long friends and family. We will definitely stay another time.
