    Our stay at this home was perfect. Cozy and relaxing and very close to the beach. They had everything you need to cook with, and everything you could need at the beach. Very convenient and comfortable. We will absolutely stay here again next year!

    This is our third summer booking this home. We love it so much has all we need as far as beach toys, umbrellas, bikes, towels! It’s spacious, beds are so comfy. Washer and dryer and ac is always a plus. So close to bay you can watch the SeaWorld fire works from steps away! Beach not too far as well! Drift vacation homes who manages property are fantastic! They are a text away at all times!! 10 out of 10 we’ll be back again!

    Our family had an amazing time at this property. Everything you possibly would need is stocked. The little park in front was perfect for our kids. We will plan to stay here again!

    STUNNING Home! AMAZING Location! IMMACULATE! Decor was incredible, simple & lovely! Only a few (short) blocks from the bay and beach. Walking distance to Mission Beach with incredible restaurants & trendy shops, and amusement center at Belmont Park. The park has a great variety of rides for children (& adults) ;) and fun shops! We went 3 times ;) Our home and stay was quiet & perfect, in every...way! Side note :) even the (well-stocked) paper products, kleenex, paper towels & toilet paper were top quality. ;) Favorite vacation home, ever :)

    We loved staying at the Surf Shack. It was clean and very comfortable. The beds were the perfect sizes, and the location is great.

    A gem of a property from top to bottom that is run incredibly well. The unit is very well equipped and organized for anything you need from cooking to BBQ to working remote to lounging comfortably. Our two kiddos 2.5 and 4.5 were very comfortable in the bunks. Location is amazing; walk to beach, bay, local MB offerings, and the park-facing patio adds some extra beauty and convenience. Nice to have garage parking for a car. Honestly one of the best short-term rentals we can remember over the past decade. We will absolutely be back!

    Stayed there with my husband, two kids (infant & 2 year old) and my mother--everyone had their own space and enjoyed their stay. Great location!

    My family and I stayed in this immaculate rental in August 2023. The floorplan and set-up was perfect for my infant, toddler, spouse, mother, and myself. My mother had her own suite downstairs separate from us and the kids. The bunk room fit a pack n play easily; I think it could have fit in the primary suite upstairs as well but we would have had to move a table and it would be tight. The pictures do not do this rental justice. The house is beautiful! It is professionally stocked and organized with anything and everything we needed. It was easy to just arrive and function. I wish my own home was so organized! The property manager was very responsive throughout our stay (no significant issues but nice they were responsive). The location is beyond perfect for any and all activities we wanted to do. Very short and beautiful walk to a playground, the beach, the bay, and restaurants/coffee shops. There are also bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, and a wagon for use. The garage is narrow as mentioned and fit a Toyota Highlander easily but any wider SUV would be tight. We will absolutely be back and cannot wait to stay here again!
