We loved our week at The Chelsea. The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It was perfect and comfortable after long days of fishing. Would definitely stay here again next summer. We brought my parents to celebrate their 50th anniversary and could have not asked for better. ##### Mary G.

We were able to take long walks on the beach and down the jetty with our dog. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the waves come in. The house was absolutely perfect. ##### Gary H.

View is very pretty of ocean but it is not “beachfront”, just be sure you know the difference. House amenities were nice and beds were very comfortable. Surfside is a sweet little community. ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### kathy c. 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness The inside was rather dirty: something significant spilled in fridge and never cleaned, booger dried on bathroom wall, under couches filthy. Just not maintained with cleaning.Lack of any clothing detergent-a sample pack, maybe? Kitchenware is black plastic-havent we all done away with those? 1 cracked dollar store bowl for the only larger bowl in the house. I would advise anyone to steer clear of this property. ##### kathy c. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brandi P. 26 Jul 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Misleading There’s a sea wall between the house and the “beach” that can or can not be accessed depending on the rise and fall of the tides. The faucet water made the house sick. Water pressure was less than desirable as well. Must bring clean water to drink and cook with. ##### Brandi P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susana M. 9 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Second times a charm! This is my second time staying at The Chelsea, and I love the remodeling that has been done since my last stay! I was blown away by the improvements and renovations made to the home. The master shower is amazing! The shower tiles were so cute! The shower wall is made to look like the waves in the sea and the floor tiles look like the beach; I loved it! New floors, new kitchen, new baths, new windows, and exterior was all redone. There’s even a firepit! Perfect for unwinding with the ocean sounds in the background. It looks like a brand-new house. A huge new big screen TV in the living room above the new fireplace and big screens in both of the front bedrooms. New furniture, as well. It was all such a pleasant surprise! The attention to detail really made this getaway feel like a home away from home. The wide-open ocean view from the time you walk in the door is so incredible and it carries on through the two front bedrooms. I can’t wait to go back!!! ##### Susana M.

Amazing waterfront views and within good walking distance to the beach on a non busy road, and the beach was not crowded during our visit. We loved waking up to the waves every morning- and the house was very nice, clean and comfortable, and we were thankful for the outdoor shower with all the sand! We will be back for sure! ##### Lindsay E.

Exceptional ocean views from inside LR as well as front deck. Enjoyed watching the ships come and go. The tide was high on our visit but it’s only a short walk towards the jetty to reach a beachy area. ##### Darlene W.

The views are amazing. Short walk to the beach or if able bodied can climb over the rocks. Needs some cosmetic work and upgrading but everything was in working order. We loved it!

Relaxing on the deck listening to the ocean and watching the large ships rolling in and out was wonderful. So quiet at night as far as people and traffic. Our number of people staying changed and the refund for the difference was incredibly prompt. Hope we left it as clean as we found it. ##### David V.

The sound of the waves was such a stress reliever! House was great and had everything we needed for the weekend with our kids. The only thing we wish was different was the location and the beach in front of us. It wasn’t really a beach unless it was low tide, and you had to walk over large rocks to access it directly across the street This is no fault of the owners, but we didn’t realize it was this way. ##### Jeremy F.
