We had the BEST stay at Surfside Paradise Beach House for our son’s 5th birthday! We had about 12 family members come out to and the house was absolutely perfect for having everyone together while still giving us plenty of space.One of the biggest things for us was the elevator. Having elderly grandparents with us can sometimes make beach houses difficult, and the elevator allowed them to be part of the entire weekend, which meant so much to us.The kids absolutely loved the bunk room, and the easy walk straight to the beach was amazing. We spent the day swimming, hunting for crabs and seashells, playing with beach toys, and skimboarding. The water was beautiful during our stay, and being able to walk right back to the house afterward made everything so easy with kids.The house itself had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our big family, a huge table where everyone could gather, a well-stocked kitchen, game room, hot tub, and tons of things to keep everyone entertained.The owners were also incredibly responsive and accommodating. They even allowed us to get in a little early to put our son’s birthday cake inside while we spent the day at the beach, which was so appreciated.It ended up being exactly the kind of birthday weekend we wanted—lots of family, beach time, cousins together, and some really special memories. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it, especially for families or larger groups!
