    We had never played bocci ball court style before this past weekend and had an absolute blast in competitive play! Everyone and especially the kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool while the adults hung out and enjoyed the good eats in and around the very spacious patio table while watching the game on the large outdoor tv. The decor inside made you feel like you were in another country far away besides the 5 blocks to Jax beach just steps away. We enjoyed walking to check out the sunsets and playing in the waves. We would definitely recommend Surf Mod to friends and family again and use Welcome Home Rentals as our go to for any Jax Beach stays in the future!

    We really enjoyed our stay in Jax at this unique home. The location is great- walkable to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the owner/mgt company was super-responsive to us during our visit. Quiet neighborhood - nice place to relax.

    Property is well organized and very clean. The house itself is small but the outdoor space was awesome. Funky fun decor made the stay a great change of pace.

    This is our 2nd time at Surf Mod and we loved it again! The colorful decor and the great outdoor space are a delight. We liked the screened in porch with a tv- great place to dry off after swimming! We are already dreaming about our 2026 trip!

    This was our 1st time vacationing at Surf Mod, using this mgt company and visiting this area. This home is vibrant, unique, clean and it was a pleasure to return to every day! The home was fully stocked with plenty of bath & beach towels, bath products, kitchen and beach needs, coffee, etc. All we needed was our suitcase and sunscreen! The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of additional pillows and a couple of stand-alone fans, if needed. Although we walked on the beach every day, we opted for the home's outdoor backyard and pool for our afternoons. The pool, outdoor furniture, bocci and cornhole was fantastic! The fully fenced in backyard was very private and great for our dog to snooze in the sun. The street was not only quiet at night, but during the day. We rarely saw any neighbors and mostly only dog walkers. The mgt company responded quickly to any questions before or during our stay. We had a minor house issue (outside of anyone’s control) and the mgt company quickly remedied the situation. The mgt company was easy to work with from booking through checkout and had friendly and respectful svc reps. The beach is an easy walk to the end of the street and it's nice, flat, bikeable and had minimal people. We enjoyed lots of great restaurants, breweries, etc. within a short drive of the home. A 'local' told us about The Corner (AKA Beaches Town Center officially) which we visited a few times for shopping and dining. All in all, we found Surf Mod, the mgt company and this area to be a great vacation spot and hope to have the opportunity to visit in the future!

    Absolutely beautiful! Has everything you need! We went with our one year old grandson and having the pool was a highlight for him and also for us when he took a nap. So close to the beach and food. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely be coming back.

    First the positive: gorgeous pool and back yard (be careful - the turf gets HOT in the sun); excellent communication with host - very responsive; location is great - close to beach & Metro Diner; well equipped with plenty of beach gear - chairs, umbrellas, etc. However, there were a few misleading details on the listing: 1. there is no en suite for the primary bedroom; the bathroom listed is the hall bath which all 3 rooms have to share and it is tiny; the other bathroom is on the opposite end of the house in an addition. 2. Guest bed 2 was a full bed, not a queen as listed and there was no TV in that room. Additionally, the bedrooms were very small with limited furniture - no place to put away clothes other than closet and no space for suitcases, etc. The a/c was not able to keep up and the living room addition only cooled down at night. The kitchen is tiny; there was no place to store food other than limited counter space. Stove and dishwasher need to be replaced and there were issues with the seemingly new refrigerator. The house is nice but very small; I expected more for the price.

    It is the perfect house with the best backyard I have ever seen! We loved the pool and the artificial turf! It was just beautiful. Weather was not good while we were there, but the screened in porch was the perfect place to watch the rain. Love the house, would book it again in a second. And Mike is the perfect host who responds very quickly to any questions we had. The weather is the only thing that could have made our stay better. If it wasn't for the backyard and great host, the week would have been a wash!
