Amazing location and lake views. The home had everything we needed. The host was great and very responsive. The golf cart was a fun add to cruise around the community. We would definitely like to stay again.
Nice location near beach, close proximity to pool & other activities. Many options to choose from.

Thank you so much, Peter! I’m glad you enjoyed the location and found it convenient to the beach, pool, and all the great activities nearby. We love offering a variety of options so guests can make the most of their time in the Poconos. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime for another relaxing retreat!
Great location, just across the road from the beach and a dock. Beds very comfy, great little modern kitchen. Loved the fire pit. Check in was super easy, host was extremely quick in answering all of our questions. Only used the golf cart a few times, but who knew? Loved our time in the Poconos. Fishing not what our guys are used to, but their float tubes worked out perfectly.

Thank you so much for amazing vacation. Beautiful view on lake. We enjoyed your home and everything around. All dishes are clean. House is nice and clean. We love your bed’s set (sheets , duvets, and pillows cases). They fresh and very nice quality. We love your tv , appliances, and refrigerator. Thanks again for our beautiful vacation. We will come back again for next year and will suggest your home to our friends.
We loved our stay! We found it to be a spacious house perfect for family gatherings. Had a beautiful view of the lake too. Kitchen had all the dishware and appliances we needed to cook a new years dinner. Fireplace gave such a cozy cabin feel. Would book again in the summer time!

Tetyana, thanks for your feedback. We would love to host you again in the summer!
The home was clean and well stocked with paper products, kitchen equipment, the grill was charcoal and there was coal and lighter fluid there! We replenished it before we left.
We used the kayaks, canoe, and paddle board. The temperatures were amazing and we spent our time on the lake, cooking, grilling, fire pit time, playing games, and walking around the area! We totally suggest this house for a family getaway!
Thank you!

It’s wonderful to know the home was clean and well-stocked for your needs — we always want guests to feel right at home. Thanks also for replenishing the grill supplies, that’s much appreciated! You and your family were fantastic guests, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime for another memorable stay!
My sisters, brother in law, and niece all stayed at this rental.we each had our own room with very comfortable bedding. The kitchen was brand new with all amenities we needed. An awesome upstairs front porch for cocktails, or morning coffee with a lake view. Loved the roomy fire pit area in the evenings also. We would definitely rent again. A rare plus, was the availability of the host/manager whenever I needed anything or had a question.

Outdoor amenities are the winner at this location that is close to the lake. Canoe and kayaks were a plus. Very family oriented with beaches at the lake, pool and multiple playgrounds. Great kitchen but other indoor areas need some work. Owner very responsive. Indoor musty odor would keep us from going back. The WHOLE property could use some TLC.

Diane, Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the kitchen, beaches at the lake, playgrounds, and our provided amenities.
- I wish you could have elaborated more on TLC part. The house was updated in 2020 with a new kitchen 2021. We have an upgraded home with a unique charm perfect for this location.
- We were surprised you showed up with a pet but did not advise us that you were bringing one. They had an accident on the bed and to get rid of the odor we had to replace the mattress.
- We are quite concerned with a few things that happened during your visit, you requested wash clothes which we did provide within an hour of your request, but there were already 8 sets of towels and wash cloths. Screws were missing from one of the kitchen cabinets, we are at a loss as to how this happened. Bulbs were removed from the lights in the bedroom and placed under the kitchen sink. The Wifi router was unplugged, and batteries had been taken out of the fan's remotes. If you were having issues with any of these I wish you had let us know immediately.
- Our cleaners who do an excellent job notified us about the issues they found when they arrived and they were able to get everything cleaned in order to ensure a pleasant experience for the new guests.
We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays! We will continue to provide guests with the 5-star service we are known for.
This was our first family vacation i 6 years and it was amazing. Mamta was fantastic to communicate with (and helped with our AC issue). The amenities were awesome. The kids spent most of the time kayaking and paddle boarding. Being right across from the water gave us the peace of mind to let them explore on their own. Everyone that we encountered was very friendly and we had no concerns with safety or anything. The association website listed all of the events and activities that were going on while we were there, and the fireworks were fantastic. This was a great stay and would 100% recommend it!

Thanks Pamela for your kind review. It was a pleasure hosting you. We would love to host you again.
Everything went smooth during our visit. Property description was accurate, communication with the host was fast and effective. Check in was painless since they have 24/7 welcome center. Property was situated right across from the lake where is also a playground fir the young ones to enjoy. The place was equipped with everything you need to have a pleasant vacation with your family from snow slides to kayaks and bikes for summer. The kitchen was complete with great appliances and has everything you will need in a kitchen and plus. Property was comfortable for 8 guess but could definitely sleep 10. Best rental in Poconos Mountains so far I will try to get back there during summer time.

From the owner: Thank you, Mafer, for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback and would love to host you again in the summer!
The location was great and the house was nice with plenty of room and all of the supplies that were needed. Our biggest complaint was the awful furniture in the living room that felt like you were sitting on cinder blocks. After a long day of skiing, we wanted to sit and relax at night and watch a little tv. The old "This Ends Up" furniture with the wood frames and cushions that are 2 inches thick just don't cut it. We couldn't wait to go home.

Rachael, thanks for the feedback and your advise well taken. We did think through before choosing the furniture we wanted to decor the house with. We have two living rooms with TVs, so we placed the contemporary style sofa sets downstairs while the upstairs we chose the furniture to go with the aesthetic look of the cabin-style walls of the upstair living room. Our vacation specialist suggested that the vacationers prefer aesthetic decor against what you usually find in regular family home, so we went ahead with that. Lot of people appreciate the aesthetic look as well as our family and friends. It was a hard find but I see your point and that’s where the downstairs room comes to play!

Upstairs good downstairs bad!
Location was fabulous. Kayaks by the lake were excellent. The kitchen was great and appliances were all updated. The downstairs of the house was musty and was leaking water in the bedrooms. They were not usable and clean at all therefore people slept on the couches. The downstairs shower did not drain. Grill was clearly not cleaned and spent a chunk of time cleaning it. The kayaks on the property were full of bugs and the hose was not hooked up to wash them out therefore making them unusable.

Haley, thanks for your review. Appreciate your feedback. We are glad that you liked the location and kayaks.. We had a major rain storm the night before you arrived. You requested early checkin, so cleaners cleaned the area but were not able to dry it out completely. You said only one out of the four bedroom is not usable and you were party of 4, so you were good with it and didn't need any help. We apologized for the inconvenience. Also, because of the rain storm, kayaks on the property were not usable. So, we arranged for the clean kayaks for you which were stored on the beach as you mentioned in your review. We love that your kids enjoyed the kayak and overall you had a positive experience
The cabin was located across the road from the beach and playground which was convenient. The home was very clean and beds were comfortable. The pool was nearby and heated.
On the downside, The basement was musty with very poor air circulation. Moisture from the bathroom caused the floor to stay wet and very slick. We did have a surprise visitor in the kitchen in the morning This crazy squirrel got in somehow and ate much of our baked goods on the counter. The owners have been informed and plan to solve this problem.
The extra costs add up! Car fees and amenity fees per person. For a week, ours totaled almost $300 extra! We had to cut our vacation short due to these added costs above the vrbo extra fees.

Dana, thanks for your feedback. We did address the squirrel issue. There were trees touching the roof which was an easy bridge for them to cross over, we trimmed them down. Yes, there is a temporary membership fees listed in the listing payable separately to the community over and above what you pay to VRBO. This is per guest, so depends on how many guests you have. Hope this helps.
We had a great time everything at our rental meet are family needs . We had plenty of space for our family of seven and our dog I would rent this home again

Thank you for your feedback. It was pleasure to host you.
Beautiful private community perfect for families. The property is about 100 yards from one of the lake beaches and a playground. We had a deer and her fawn visit us daily. House comes with canoes and kayaks.The outside of the house is a little overgrown but gives it a camping vibe. Inside is well equipped and comfortable. Owners were responsive and helpful. The only con is that the outdoor security cameras made us feel a little uncomfortable.

From the owner: "Jerry, thanks a lot for your review. We really appreciate your feedback. Glad you loved the house and community. We understand your concerns about the security camera, but as listed in our listing, we have ensured that it only points to the driveway for the safety of our guests in case anything happens. This is an added security on top of the public safety patrols provided by the community. The safety and security of our guests are very important to us. We will love to see you back. Thanks again!"
We went there with Family and friends- total 7 people and 1 kid. We loved the place. Owner was very approachable and reponsive.
Would definitely recommend to everyone and would give 9.5/10 points .

Hi Chhabilal, the homeowner would like to share the following: "Thanks, Chhabilal, for your review. We enjoyed your stay and love to have you back!"
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Surrey House although it was a bit challenging to cook Thanksgiving dinner in an unfamiliar kitchen! Luckily the pots and pans and other kitchen equipment at the house helped out tremendously.
The location was great and we are thinking of coming back in the summer.

We enjoyed a long weekend at the Surya Lakehouse. You can’t beat the location right across from the lake with the playground there for our younger kids. The house had everything we needed and more. The owner was super responsive and very nice. We will definitely be looking to stay here again.
