About this property

Happy Place: sunset view of Back Bay from the sofa and deck- 5 min walk to Beach

Sit on the large covered deck and enjoy views of Back Bay with your morning coffee, evening beverage or any time in between. The sunsets are gorgeous. Grill on the deck and enjoy your meals in a relaxing setting. Bring your bikes or use one of ours and bike across the street to the beach or better yet Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge Center or go further into First Cape State park. You will have your choice of so many activities: two outdoor pools, indoor gym, sauna, basketball enclosure, tennis/pickleball courts, sand volleyball, boat ramp for your kayak/SUP/jet ski and playground all steps away. Of course, the main attraction, beautiful Sandbridge Beach across the street teaming with dolphins, pelicans, seashells, surfers and fishing pier, is a short 5 minute walk. The resort also features 3 men's and women's shower/bath houses and two laundry facilities. Your biggest problem will be finding the time to do everything there is to do!!
Home features full-size kitchen with gas stove, microwave, refrigerator and a grill on the large covered deck. Or if you prefer, local fare is within walking distance: Baja Restaurant, Jose Tequilas and more.
Full-size bathroom with a tub/shower.
Two TV's with cable and internet. Plenty of seating in the living room for watching a movie, playing games or just relaxing with family.
Landscaped private backyard with swing and room for your kayak/SUP.
Parking space for two cars.

Sandbridge Vacation
Our stay was wonderful! The RV was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The RV park was conveniently located to the beach and restaurants. We would definitely visit again. The property owners were amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Travelstead

Host profile image
My family and I started coming to Surfside about 6-7 years ago after renting a cottage through VRBO. With so much to do, the proximity to the beach and Back Back Bay, we loved it here and were hooked. We came back every year, staying longer and more often each year. This is a great community, every year we looked for just the right place for ourselves. Finally, last Summer after years of looking, we found "the place" for our family. We want to share our home with others, but do not want to over do it, so it will not be available the entire Summer. Let us know if there is anything you need- we want you to love it here as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Originally we wanted a place on either the canal or Bay and we wanted a 2-bedroom. This is neither. So why was this the one?
The property has excellent views of both Back Bay and the canal- something we would not have gotten if we were on either. When we stayed on the canal, we would have to constantly watch our grandkids and special needs son- making sure no one feel in, as there are no fences. With this property we have the views, but do not have to worry about anyone falling in. Plus, we now have a large, private backyard- something the water properties do not allow for, as they are much smaller. There is plenty of space to bring all of your gear, to play, to eat, to relax, to be.
This place has a large, open feel when you walk in. It feels like a home. No one feels like they are on top of each other, with plenty of space to relax. If we had a bunk room, it would take up a lot of living space, be very cramped and have small beds. My 6'2" son simply did not fit in them any longer. We have created a special sleeping nook for him and he loves it. He can see the large tv from his bed and is close to any snack he might want. What teenager wouldn't love that set-up.
The great room also has a sofa bed than can fit 1-2 children/med size adults. There is so much space, even with the sofa bed out, there is still room for others to sit on the sofa, for the recliner on the other end of the sofa to be out and the separate recliner to be fully reclined. And to still walk around!
There is also a great deal of storage for your belongings, so everything will have a place.
One more bonus, we have a sound system that allows you to play music on the deck, in the kitchen, in the great room all at the same time or in any combination you want. Dancing on the deck, under the stars is a definite possibility. At night and early morning, you can clearly hear the sound of the ocean from the deck (or inside if the windows are open).

What makes this property unique
