Our living room features a 75” smart TV with access with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, ESPN+ and other TV apps. UFC or Boxing events can be ordered, we just asked that you cover that cost.

Great beach house!

The beach house was exactly what we had hoped for. A brief 1min walk to the beach and it was clean and inviting. The water pressure was great and the AC was on point. We had a great time and the area was quiet.

Great Place in Surfside

This is one of our favorite places to stay in Surfside. You are steps from the beach and an easy one mile stroll from two beachfront restaurants. The house itself is well stocked, spacious, and has a fantastic covered patio with beach views. We highly recommend this house for your next stay!

The Best Girl's Trip Beach House

This is the second time a group of 6 girlfriends and I have rented this house and we absolutely love it. It's within walking distance to the beach and the house has the best covered porch that's perfect for watching the ocean. Our favorite indoor feature is the huge couch. The host Cynthia is super responsive and accommodating. We will definitely book this house again for our annual girl's trip weekend!

Wonderful Beach House

A really great beach house, 2nd row, but with first row views. Comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen very well stocked with newer pots and pans and beach safe dishes if you want to take it outside. Very good and easy interaction with property manager. Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable, Close to Beach

Easy and comfortable home, close to beach. A little trouble initially getting into the home on day 1 - issues with electronic door code, changed to a physical key, with lack of communication, but felt like was something that was known - alternate method of entry already planned and ready to go. Pet friendly location, but beach location (not necessarily the owner's issue) sees LOTS of traffic -- even early which tends to limit access previously used to in former trips.

Great Getaway

Nice spot about a minute walk to the beach. The dune crossover is for that row (8 or 9 houses) so not a lot of traffic, just your neighbors who were pretty much non existant during our stay. Off season. Cynthia is great host, fast communication, and easy to work with. Rising Sun is equipped with everything you might need. Kitchen is fully equipped and then some. The primary bed was solid and very comfortable. Just the two of us and our pup but plenty of space for a larger family. Good wifi and internet so we coud do a little work if needed. Huge TV in a pretty large living area for movie night. Great outside seating area with a view of the water. Houses directly in front but a great view off the back deck just to the right side with no houses at all. Basically feels like beach front! Nice spot, great host, great views and accommodations. You will enjoy it!

Thanksgiving Away

This was a great house for the family on Thanksgiving. We stayed for a week and loved the view, sound of the waves, and time down on the beach. We were pleasantly surprised with the kitchen and how great it was communicating with the property owner. Definately worth a stay!

Great Beach Getaway Spot

Very clean and updated property that exceeded our expectations. Pet-friendly was a major plus. Access to the beach was a very easy and simple 90-second walk.

Great vacation home for our family at the beach. Owner has equipped the home with all household items we needed for a lovely week (kitchen well stocked, soft linens and nice bathroom towels). Great covered porch we enjoyed meals on with a beach view. Decorated very tastefully and has great open family room/kitchen area. We can't wait to come back.

Perfect location and so much space to spread out!

Traveled with my family (6 adults) for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. The space and location was perfection! We had everything we needed and the most relaxing time. The beds were super comfortable and shower pressure was good. We had all of the cooking utensils needed and bottled water available. Easy access to the beach and beautiful view to sit watch the waves with a cup of coffee in the morning. We will definitely book again.

Perfect getaway

I had a girls weekend at this house and I couldn't have picked a better place! The beach access is incredibly close and convenient, there were plenty of beds, the couch is super cozy and the porch facing the beach was amazing. Communication with the property manager was great as well. I would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia

Host profile image
My husband and I have always loved the beach. We live in Katy, Texas and love to come to Surfside when we can.

Why they chose this property

Since I was a little girl, my parents would always bring us to Surfside Beach on the weekends. My dad is and has always been an avid fisherman. I'm was so happy to finally be able to have the opportunity to purchase a home in Surfside of my own and now be able to enjoy the beach with my family.
