Doug A., Austin, TX

Surfside Stay
Well, the property was good, although there are a number of maintenance items that should be addressed. The destination is one we will not likely repeat (not at all a problem with the owner of the property), but the lack of drinkable water and the odor of the water from faucets made a big difference to us. The home itself is pretty well maintained....but I would recommend and update of the outdoor cushions (there's no real cushion in the cushions), replacement of a couple pots and pans would help visitors use the induction cooktop, and either replacement of or addition to cooking utensils would be a big plus! The living room was fine, the single bathroom was excellent, and the second bathroom was also in good shape.
