Phoenix Rising - Chill Beach Vibes, 4 Decks!

The Phoenix Rising beach house was a wonderful place to stay, we would love to stay there again in the future. We enjoyed our time there immensely. Very close to the beach for walking as well as seeing the waves from the balconies. Set up presentation when we first entered the house was very welcoming and perfect beach vibes! Reallly appreciated the cleanliness and classy deco of the interior of the house. There were a few problems with the wifi, and a broken bannister railbracket up the stairs inside the house, also some unsafe railings that had weathered loose on the decks outside. However, we did alert the proprietors of these problems and they responded and fixed these issues very quickly. Overall house conditions: The 3rd bedroom with the bath does need to have new fixtures for the bathtub, because you cannot change the shower head to flow into the bath spigot of the bathtub, it is frozen from corrosion, so water will only come out through the shower head. Also the drain and plug will not hold water for a proper bath. Lastly, when there was a major rainstorm with sideways rain hitting the house one day. We noticed the front balcony door to the living room had serious leaks around the door frame at the top and the glass door also leaked from the seals where the blinds inside the door are. We put the door mat under the door to catch the water that was dripping during the storm. All these are minor problems, overall we enjoyed our stay!

Check in was very easy and smooth. Kitchen facilities were adequate. Location was awesome - very close to beach!Cleanliness was ok, there was carpet upstairs (which seems odd for a beach house) that definitely needed cleaning. It was very old and spotted. Otherwise ok.

The stay was amazing! Super close to the beach.

House was nice. There were a few things I wish I’d known before going. There was no toddler plates or eating wear. And the baby gate that was in the house was broken. We bought our own to help keep our kiddos safe. We have a 1.5 and 3.5 year old. Also the listing shown that there was a bathtub. In one of the room's there is a bathtub, but it doesn’t hold water and the stopper is completely unattached from the tub. So my kids hated bath time and screamed each and every time we had to shower. The garbage disposal in the kitchen did not work and the sink on that side did not drain. The broom that is there has seen better days and I’d love to have swept the sand more often, but it was a pain. Over all it was a great stay and had a great time. Beds were comfy. Living area spacious. Could see the beach from the couch. Amazing views from all four decks. My kids loved the wooden blocks and played with them often. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Everything was great even though this area had just suffered a hurricane blow. It’s understandable that property owners cannot control pick-up of debris piles out in front of properties. Management always worked with us on anything that came up. We had to extend our stay 3 times due to a death in our family in town while we were there. The house was great and had nice views too. The house is kept nice and everything in working order. Thank you for a great stay!!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. We love Surfside! The location was great with easy beach access down the street. The multiple decks were amazing for enjoying beach views without sand. However, with this property being pet friendly it would have been helpful to have a permanent swinging gate on the main deck. Several maintenance issues were unappealing. The outside shower head had a lot of algae growing off of it. The tub/shower faucet in one of the upstairs bedrooms was corroded and made it impossible to turn the shower head off and run bath water. The water sprayer in the kitchen sink also could not be used due to corrosion. Even though the booklet inside said that professional pest treatment is used at the house we saw too many live roaches in the kitchen to believe that. If you are wanting a beach themed house this is not for you, as the house is decorated more like a rental in NOLA.

I would stay here again. Loved that it’s pet friendly and in a good location. Thank you.

The location of Phoenix Rising is great for walking to the beach and watching the sunrise and set. The layout of the house is perfect for 2 adult couples with 2 bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. Hosts provides basic items for bathroom and kitchen.

Great location with 3 min walk to beach. House was nice but pictures make rooms seem larger. Under rooms descriptions the wording seems that there is a bath/shower in each room. One is down stairs. Fully stocked for cooking and eating but bring paper plates as most of the dishes are glass. Oh... and the water there smells bad and the water dispenser in the living room was not working and not fit for drinking so don't forget to bring plenty of bottled water. Broken figurine on livingroom table... I took a pic to prove we didn't break it. A/C and fans kept it nice and cool. Beds were comfy. The house does not supply any beach equipment so bring chairs, beach cart etc. Beach bar was great fun... and you can hear the bands from the back deck. Overall... had agreat bday weekend.

Great Place to stay!

Comfortable and clean, nice space. Great location. Thanks for the stay. If I had any complaint it would be the bed pillows are very firm, but that's on me, I need to travel with my own.
