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.

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.

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! Thank you! ##### Theresa S.

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.

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.
