Great Vacation
We just got back on Saturday from a week stay at the Surf Shack. We had a wonderful vacation and the Surf Shack was a great place to stay. The owner responded quickly to any questions we had and the neighbors on both sides were very friendly and offered great recommendations on restaurants. We enjoyed the porch and it was a great place for our dog to hang out since it was fenced in. We will definitely rent the Surf Shack again!!

Owner very responsive for this cute little cottage!
The cottage was super cute & clean upon arrival. We did have 4 adults that somehow worked within the living quarters but it’s definitely tight. We enjoyed the beach and the outdoor shower. Neighbors were all friendly and helpful with offering places to eat, things to do, etc.Very family oriented place to stay with maximum security. Owner was responsive at all times & helped a lot.

Surf Shack Fun
We loved staying at the surf shack. Added another day last last minute and Sam took care of it seamlessly. This is a camper with two built on rooms. The only thing I would suggest is putting another air conditioned unit to cool the camper side of this rental. Great fun, great stay. We would stay again. Very clean when we arrived. Loved being pet friendly so we could bring both of our dogs.

Don’t trust this owner with your credit card. He now wants to charge a fee after the fact that was not disclosed at booking. It’s a great place so long as you don’t mind getting ripped off

Cozy beach house
This trip was one of our favorites! This house was perfect for our kiddos and pets with the cute fenced in patio area. The outdoor shower/bathroom was a very nice touch. It was spotless when we arrived as well. Beautiful beach house on a quiet street. 10/10! Thank you Sam!

Great beach house
This was our first time staying in a permanent site at Ocean Lakes and it was a great one. This house has everything you need and easily slept 2 adults and 4 kids ages 3, 5, 8, and 12. The outdoor kitchen is excellent. We would definitely consider staying here again.
