About this property
Amazing Panoramic Gulf Views-120 Steps to Beach- Huge Deck- Large Beautiful Home
You will love this serene slice of paradise only 120 steps from the sea. Kismet has plenty of room for your whole family to relax! Kismet offers over 1,700 square feet of newly remodeled space on 2 floors. There are 3 bedrooms - all with new furniture, new linens and 40-inch flat-screen TV's, 3 bathrooms, and 2 large living areas (50 inch TV’s), a well-equipped kitchen, and a kitchenette in the second living area. Of course, WiFi is included, along with Roku streaming for each room.
A large deck surrounds 2 sides of the house and is furnished with charcoal grill, large dining table, outdoor sectional, coffee table, and an additional small pub table. The deck boasts panoramic gulf views and cool gulf breezes. Relax on the large sectional and listen to the waves roll in, as you enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail.
The living area features a very comfortable sectional sofa, coffee table, end tables, wood-burning fireplace, and large picture window with a beautiful unobstructed gulf view. There’s nothing between Kismet and the sea except grassland and the beach.
At Kismet, we don’t lug gallons of drinking water up long flights of stairs. Kismet features a whole house water filtration system with an additional reverse osmosis filtration system for drinking water and ice. This is very important on this part of the Gulf, as the public water is well water (non-potable) it is normally recommended that residents and guests drink only bottled water and haul in ice.
The kitchen, with tile countertops, is very well equipped: including a coffeemaker, blender, toaster, glasses, dishes, wine glasses, utensils, brand new pots & pans, waffle maker, grill tools, crab pot, etc. Appliances include a glass stovetop, oven, microwave, stainless steel refrigerator with reverse osmosis filtered water/ice door dispenser and dishwasher.
Upstairs there is a master suite and a second bedroom. The first has a sumptuous king size memory foam bed appointed with luxury linens (including down alternative mattress topper and duvet), large bathroom, plenty of storage space, and a 40" HDTV TV. The second bedroom has an equally lavish queen size bed, a 40" HDTV, and is adjacent to a second full bath.
The ground floor has an additional large living room with a 50" HDTV TV, and 2 days beds that each convert easily to king beds. There is also a kitchenette with a sink, fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The large bedroom has a king bed, 40 inch HDTV, dresser, and small sitting area. The downstairs bathroom has a double sink and an attached enclosed indoor/outdoor shower. The ground floor can be accessed either by a spiral staircase indoors, or french doors leading to the outside. This makes Kismet uniquely accessible for your older relatives. High-quality linens, towels & beach towels are provided at NO ADDITIONAL FEE.

We had a fantastic stay and an amazing host. Kim was quick with responses and shared some local happenings in the area. Great views of the beach from the porch, nice way to relax in the evening.
Great location, walking distance to beach. We really loved packing up our car and driving the beaches! Still quite a bit of clean up being done due to recent storms but that didn’t keep us from enjoying ourselves!
We love this property and try to book it anytime we are at Surfside. The host is very responsive, the house is always very clean / well stocked, and you are a short walk to both the Beach and the Seahorse restaurant.
Highly recommended this charming / quirky beach home!
We had an awesome time again staying at the Kizmet beach house. We had 4 generations staying in the house just a few feet from the beach. Everything we needed for cooking was there available to us including a washer and dryer and charcoal barbecue grill. We can't wait to go again.
Great location right off the beach. Long beach walks in either direction. We were able to cook a fairly large and involved meal with the provided kitchenware. The Seahorse Bar and Grill is also a very short walk away along the beach. Open line of communication with the property management through the VRBO app. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great location! Property manager responsive
Pictured on VRBO website need updating, misleading. Yard needed cutting, water from faucets smelled, dryer didmt work, satellite/tv/ceiling fan we couldnt figure out initially.
The house was perfectly sized for our families (6 adults, 4 kids). There are two bedrooms on the main floor (a master with an en suite bath and another room with a queen bed), as well as another full bath directly outside the queen bedroom. There was also another bedroom downstairs with a king bed, as well as two daybeds that pull out to king beds. This area was perfect for the older kids, as they felt like they had their own private area of the home to hang out in. There is a half-bathroom downstairs as well, so our older kids were able to stay up later without having to worry about waking anyone up upstairs! It is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, as well as a beach access road for driving onto the beach. Overall, it was perfectly suited for our multi-family vacation.
The location was fabulous just a quick walk over the decking to the beach on a neighborhood street. The home was very clean but is also very old and outdated, they call it "rustic". The beds were very comfortable. The downstairs bathroom is more like an outhouse and had the 11 year old crying because she fell down late at night. Was told there was a K-cup machine downstairs (so I brought my K-cups) but there was not. Had to go upstairs to use the Kuerig which refused to accept my "non-kuerig" k-cups so I had to go buy some on Christmas. We were there for 4 days and lost the internet service for 48 hours of that time which because it's winter and we couldn't be outside much, that was a bummer.
The location is amazing, the house, not so much! We had a wonderful time, the host was great, but the house was in rough shape. Very dark, and puzzle pieced together. When it rained, water poured in through the fireplace and we had to use trash cans to try and keep floors dry.
We enjoyed the stay at Kismet. The beach house was close to the beach. That made it easy to go to and return home with ease. The house itself was nice and as pictured. There was a good view of the ocean from the deck. The beds were comfortable. At the end of our stay, we were pleased to have chosen this property! Thank you Kismet.
Plenty of comfortable beds for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed. A large table for eating and playing games. Spiral staircase indoors connecting to lower-level bedroom was a hit with the kids. SO CLOSE to the beach. We'd go up and make our beach-picnic lunch and let the kids eat on the sand. Super convenient,and they loved it.
This property was a great location. Great views and short walk to beach. The house is older but was nicely furnished and the beds were very comfortable, best I have experienced at a rental. There were plenty of indoor activities offered for those rainy days or just needing a break from the sunshine and heat. Plenty of room to move around. I loved the spiral staircase!
This is literally steps from the beach, it has everything that you need inside as well as a fabulous porch that looks out over ocean. If you are looking for some place to stay that is convenient, clean and plenty of space, Kizmet is your place.
We had the best week. Great location, super clean. The owners thought of everything and were quick to respond when I had a question. Very roomy and the beds were soooo comfortable.
