Upon our arrival into Surfside, I received the text message with details regarding the house - code for access, trash, and contact for questions with the property. It was prompt and offered great information. We traveled here with two families, ours with me, my husband, and our two kids ages 7 and 4 & our friends with two adults and two kids ages 6 and 4. The house was set up great for sleeping arrangements with two queen size bed bedrooms and two queen beds in the loft room. We did however encounter quite a few issues during our stay.... 1. The houses exposed surfaces were clean, but upon closer inspection there were dust bunnies everywhere - under the couches, beds, and in the utility closet. We swept and cleaned the house and yet continued to find more dust bunnies. Our friend checked the houses air filter and it was covered in a thick dust (and whatever else) allowing no air flow. So, we went and bought a replacement and noticed that we were seeing less dust bunnies as a result. As well as running a personal air-purifier. 2. The house was advertised saying there was a washer & dryer and a dishwasher. Though all weren't very functional. The washer smelled like sour mildew with stagnant water in it and was practically dysfunctional as the drying feature didn't work. The dishwasher had rust in it and we didn't feel clean or safe washing dishes in it. 3. The water in the house was described to us as nonpotable and we were told to bring drinking water, which we planned to do anyway. However, the shower water smelled so strongly of rust that it left us feeling dirtier than cleaner and showers were something that we needed having the 4 kids and 4 parents at a beach. 4. The freezer/refrigerator was complicated, the freezer worked great but the refrigerator was pretty warm and never got cool enough making us concerned that our food wouldn't keep. *when I reached out to the property manager I recieved no response. 5. The exterior cable railing on the balcony was rusting and beginning to come apart with with overall appeal looked bad and could potentially become a safety hazard. HOWEVER! There are some pros. 1. It was in the perfect location to the free public beach that we visited every day! 2. It was in its own little block so we didn't experience noisy next-door renters and it was very peaceful. 3. The air conditioning and fans were excellent to stay cool on the especially hot afternoons. Good visit. Could be better
Me & my children had a awesome stay here, relaxing, clean, felt like comfort at home, & very close to beach. We walked to the beach in 2 minutes or less right across the way & cooked out one evening. Everything we needed to feel at home. Definitely will be coming back!
My wife, and another couple (good friends) decided to take one more long weekend trip to the beach to end the summer. We happened upon Christina’s Heaven at the very last minute and reserved the house for our trip. The pics were very accurate and when we arrived, it was exactly what the photos showed. The house isn’t large but was perfect for four people. It was very comfortable and we had a wonderful time. We rented a golf cart and were able to access the beach very easily. The access point was not even a block from the house and took us two minutes to get to from the house. That made it very easy if one of us needed to drive the cart back to the house for something while the rest stayed at the beach. We took our own groceries and enjoyed cooking our meals at the house. There was even a small charcoal grill and it gave us the opportunity to grill steaks and shrimp for some wonderful dinners! None of us had ever been to Surfside Beach before but thoroughly enjoyed our time away. We would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away for a nice, relaxing time at the beach.
3 of the 6 Deck chairs were broken. Some Dishes were dirty, Inside of some were cabinets dirty. Blankets smelled unclean, found fingernail clippings on one. Shower heads did not all work. Washer / Dryer combo left clothes damp and smelled bad. The water in the house turned my clothes and tips of my hair orange. The Water Well had to be serviced while we were there because it was water logged. Besides the water, the worst for me was the house shakes/moves even when a kid walks through the house. Good things - it does have WiFi, all rooms had tvs and it is very close to the beach.
Christina’s heaven was exactly as pictured. The property was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had easy beach access. It was also nice that this rental was further away from main tourists attractions (made the beach less crowded). Would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed this property and felt like it was represented accurately by the site. The property is clean and well-appointed. There are great views of the Gulf from the front deck, and the beach is just a short walk. Had a great time and it did not disappoint.
We enjoyed our stay. The Public access to the beach was not far. The house was in good shape.
Nice cosy place close to the beach. Comfortable beds and nice view
This property was perfect for our family. 7 of us stayed here and never once felt crowded. Everyone had plenty of space. The house is stocked with all we needed for cooking. We stayed for 7 days and made every meal at the house. Added a couple of kitchen utensils for the next guests as well. :) The beds are so comfortable and we loved all the themed rooms. The big loungers in the family room are so comfy. The grill was a huge bonus for nightly meals. The shower is amazing with all the jets. The well water was not an issue for us at all. The view from the deck was amazing and so relaxing. The location is perfect and so quiet. Just a 2 minute drive to the beach and we just left all our beach gear in our truck. We will definitely stay here again.
I would definitely stay here again. The nights on the deck are breathtaking... didn’t want to leave
