Unfortunately it rained terribly the entire time so the pool was unable to be used. The house was great, my only recommendation would be upgrading the tv to allow streaming LOL the old cable was a bit tough. I would book this house again. Great location! Very clean and kept maintained.

6 Star Property and Location!

First time ever, wish I could give a property and host 6 stars! Perfect location, property was well set up, stocked and the host could not have been more responsive and welcoming. Amazing house for multiple generations, would recommend and would stay here again. Easy to use linen service (thank you for the referral) and plenty of beach/pool toys on site, and we enjoyed some of the games and puzzles available as well! Thank you!

Perfect House & Location!

“On Sheppard Time” is such a charming beach home. Decorated beautifully and appointed with everything you need. Close location to the beach and SS restaurant district/pier. A cute little park within walking distance and a grocery store nearby as well. We had a great time at the pool and the beach. On a rainy day, we play games (there were a ton of games available). The owner was wonderful to work with- very responsive and helpful! Highly recommend this lovely beach home to anyone!

Our stay

We loved this house! It was very clean and close walk to everything! Kids enjoyed the pool! Host was very easy to reach! The only downside to our stay here was the fact we had to bring our own linen. Coming home with 6 sets of sheets and towels for 7 people was not fun! Took several loads to just get started on laundry from that not to mention the other dirty clothes we had. This was a huge downfall. I was not going to pay for a linen service as I felt we had already paid enough. Otherwise the house was nice. We just probably won’t be going back. Will find somewhere with linen included. This was a first

Wonderful Stay

We were really happy with the house. Everyone had a quiet spot for downtime and very close to several bars and restaurants. The newly rebuilt pier was great for early morning strolls. All of the beds were really comfy, air conditioning worked very well…sometimes a bit too well lol. We would definitely rent again. Tina

Excellent rental for families

We had the best time in this beautiful home. It has close access to the beach and restaurants, as well as a beautiful pier with homemade ice cream. The house has everything you need and the pool is the perfect size for families with small kids. We had no issues during our stay and we would love to book again if we are ever in the area.

Best Family Vacay Destination

It's been over 20 years that we had been to Surfside and out trip back at this property did not disappoint! The house was pretty much the cleanest property I have stayed in. The owner even helped get it ready prior to our arrival so my husband that flew in could have somewhere to wait for us driving. Location is awesome. Kitchen well equipped along with all the pool and beach gear that was already there. Owner easy to communicate with and always helpful. We will be back again for sure.
