First visit to Surfside
I came here with my friend since high school and we each brought one of our adult children. We were thrilled that the little house was so close to the beach. We arrived as trash service was emptying the bin next to the stairs. It was horrid smelling, but we had to unpack the car. We agreed this should have been taken care of before our arrival.Later, we had some issues with the AC and waited the full 24 hours (as required in the listing) before saying anything. Repairmen came the following morning and installed 3 window units which ate into our schedule that day. We attempted to sleep through two hot nights in the house. Needless to say, we didn't sleep much. We were frustrated, but happy to be together at the beach, and thankful they made the temperature in the house cooler.We loved the little purple house and its location, just wish it was better stocked with things we needed in the kitchen as we made most of our meals. We never found the pool or a charcoal grill. So, we didn't prepare our grill items we brought with us. We made several trips into town as we discovered things we needed. Some of the things we purchased, we left in the house for the next guests. There is a huge need for a place to put clothing as there were no rods or hangers in the closet; we used the futon.We had a good time in Surfside and we made memories we'll hold dear. The home was fine for the four of us. Hopefully, we will get to come again next year and find these little things fixed.
