Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.

Excellent

We took our daughter and her friends to the beach for the weekend.
House was more than adequate and well stocked.
Great balconies to enjoy the beach front location.
Only thing we were not keen on was the water smelled quite badly of sulphur. I believe this is a known problem in Surfside.
Would definitely stay again!
We would definitely book this property again. While we didn’t get to stay at this exact property did to a maintenance issue after Hurricane Beryl, the property management company went above and beyond to not only ensure our vacation was possible but that we were in a home that was beach front and just as beautiful if not better. Very impressed!
Excellent location my family and I enjoyed the stay in this property the truth I recommend it has everything as it is in the information. the best the balconies to enjoy the afternoons with the family. Everything is very clean and the immediate attention of the managers if you have any questions. We had a great time! Thank you.!!
Perfect location for a relaxing family vacation! The private walkover to the beach was so convenient. Beach was beautiful. House had plenty of outdoor seating where you could choose sun or shade. Both Walmart and Dollar General are close by for those forgotten items or groceries. There are some minor repairs that need to be made that we had issues with but they were quick to come and help. Washer and dryer would be very helpful.
Had a nice outing with family. The location was fabulous, & the deck with the wooden walkover to the beach was the best. The house was adequately supplied, very cute & clean. We had 7 adults in our party, and made the bed situation work, although the bunk room was a little tight for adults. We knew going in what was available, so no mis-representation, the bunkroom was just not ideal for adults. Overall, it was a great way to celebrate a couple of birthdays.

Much needed repairs
First, the negatives. Many of the doors would not latch or some even close. Overall condition of the house was quite a bit worse than indicated in the photos. Wall going out to the rear deck was actually pulling away from the floor, resulting in s gap below the walk out doors. The one real issue with this was that bugs were constantly getting in through the opening. Positives, are the wonderful location, gorgeous views, and comfortable beds. Overall the place could be amazing, Communication with management was very quick.
The location is perfect and we had a very good time. The linens were nice and there were box fans to help with the heat. I know it is hard to do upkeep on a beach house and some things are understandable. However, the house needs some TLC which I did tell the property manager about. The sliding glass door to the deck to beach was very hard to open and close the handle was loose and broke the last night. The back garage door looked like it was kicked in. For these reasons I gave as lower score on the accuracy of the listing as the pictures show it in much better condition. But I would book it again hoping the TLC was given.
We loved this home. Right on the beach with beautiful views. We were disappointed that the area right off the back deck had trash, beer bottles and cans, etc. The trash was sun-bleached so it had been there for a while and really should have been picked up. The water lines had not been flushed ( the tubing to the outside showers was green with algae) and the water pressure was very poor. We called for maintenance and they had someone out that afternoon. The faucets were replaced and the pressure was better for a few hours until the faucet screens clogged up again. After that we just made due with the little pressure that we had. The pressure outside the house was great so we used the outdoor hoses a lot. The outside electrical plugs did not work and the bottom floor patio did not have lighting. In spite of the few maintenance issues that we had, we did love this house and the area it was in. We would love to stay here again.
We loved this home! It is perfectly lovated steps from the beach with a private boardwalk. The kitchen was well stocked and the upstairs downstairs balconies made for beautiful views aby time of day! We would definitely stay again.
Great house, had fridge issues and the folks watching house came and fixed same day for us, nice to have quick solutions to Vaca problems. Beautiful views with easy beach access and nice shower setup down stairs for cleaning off after swimming. Only negative was not having a washer dryer.

Would have loved to have stayed here
The original house we scheduled to stay at wasn't ready And the recent rain had water standing on the property so they sent is to another house the Vitamin Sea house across town not on the beach the beds were hard as nails you had to wear sunglasses in the house with the large windows and I overall did not enjoy it
Property needs some TLC. Roof leaked on us one day, couch has broken leg and 2x4 is holding it up. Hole in the wall be the refrigerator, looked like a mouse hole? Decking needs loose boards fixed.
The day we got there we immediately noticed that several of the plugs and switches didnt have plates.
The next day after a good rain, water pooled up at the base of this unit so we had to walk through shin deep water to get to our vehicle.
All the windows and doors were leaking and there were real bad ants throughout the unit. This unit was NOT ready to be rented out yet and simply was, out of pure greed. The pictures are nothing like the units current condition.
The house was not clean, we had cockroaches in the house, furniture was broken or broke when we were there. The dishwasher didn't work after the first day. The water smelt bad. Kitchen cabinets and counters needed help. The bathrooms in the house looked like they had been recently redone in the photos but in person the fixtures all needed to be replaced. The pictures of the house were very deceiving. The floors in the house had many soft spots in them making it feel like they were going to give in. Overall we were not happy with the state of the house. When we reached out the the property company they were slow to respond and didn't seem like they took our complaints seriously.
This house has a great location with its own deck down to the beach. However, if you came to "grill and chill" please do not stay here. We had a small rainstorm one evening when we first arrived. After that, we had to wade through water and fire ants for most of the week because the grill was down in the driveway in calf-deep water. This flooding also made it so I could not wash the kids' clothes for most of the week because the units are in the garage. (Within one day of the rainstorm the rest of the neighborhood was no longer flooded.) On the plus, this place was big enough for our family of four (16-year-old twin boys) and everyone felt like they had enough personal space. The air-conditioning was also a huge plus. The patio was a nice place to hang out while I worked. The kitchen was large and accommodating for cooking with a giant fridge and two wine coolers. The dishwasher did not work the entire week, so that was a huge inconvenience for me as well, being the mom of twins. All in all, I would definitely return to Surfside Beach, but I would not stay at this location again.
