We had a great visit, it was slightly small but very clean and comfortable. The access to the beach was even closer than expected.

Great visit - clean and comfortable - perfect! Yes, we're small but mighty. :)

Very cute and cozy. Fresh and clean. Short walk to the beach. Loved having all the beach chairs, sand toys and other things to use. You might want to bring bottled water as the water is not so good to drink. But overall a great little place to stay

Glad you enjoyed your getaway at the beach in our cozy cottage! We do suggest in our reservation info you bring drinking water to all our Surfside properties. Hope you saw that before your arrival. Come visit us again!

Before renting this property, it would have been nice to know that the house next door was under construction. There was a porta-potty in the front yard between this vacation rental and the house under construction, as well as a large rented dumpster next door. We were awakened early both mornings to heavy machinery work by a dump truck and an excavator. We didn’t use the covered deck or front porch during our mornings before heading off to the beach due to construction going on and workers present. The A/C struggled to cool the place during the evenings and the white slip covers on the furniture in the living room were stained and looked dingy upon arrival. The proximity to the beach was very nice and the space itself was adequate for our family of 4.

Glad you appreciated the space and proximity to the beach. We wish they were done with the construction during your stay as well. We've asked the builder to respectful of guests especially early/late hours. So sorry they clearly did not respect that for you, arg! Hopefully they'll get completed soon. It's been pretty warm lately, but I'll definitely have the AC checked and run the slipcovers through a wash. Thanks for your visit!

The location was great. Just a short walk to the beach, and you can see the gulf from the living area. The screened in porch was great, especially with kids. And although there are several places where the screen is torn, we ate every meal out there. The beach toys and chairs were also a huge bonus because we did not have to bring our own. The living and outdoor areas were a great size for our stay. The bedrooms, however, are quite small, and with the size of beds and extra furniture, there really is little room to put your things or store a suitcase. The kitchen wasn’t quite as “stocked” with usable cooking utensils and pots/pans as we’re used to in rentals. Lots of “entertaining” kitchen pieces, but very little actual cooking pieces. My biggest issue, however, was the limited number of outlets. Each room seemed to have everything (lamps, tvs, etc) plugged in to an extension cord run under a rug or furniture, and plugged in to only 1 outlet. Not sure how appropriate that is as far as safety is concerned. Overall, a good place to stay for the price, but the details leave a little to be desired.

Restaurants within walking distance (you can see them from the house). Perfect house for a family of 4. Hostess is amazing with accommodations and communication. We will be staying there again.

Even leaving a bag of ice in the freezer, and coffee. Beautifully decorated. Great communication. Can't wait to make my winter reservations there.

It was a short walk to the beach, close to local restaurants & very comfy!

Clean place. The house also has some nice beach gear that can be added fun during your stay.

The place is super clean and few steps to the beach. I highly recommend Katharine's place you won't regret it. We are definitely going back.

The house really is just steps from the beach and within walking distance of restaurants. It is in a quiet little neighborhood and very clean. We will definitely come back to this spot.

Amazing experience from the beginning to the end!!!
