Good spot for a quiet beach vacation

We preferred the end-unit privacy and ocean view. Unit had everything we needed. Fully enjoyed our 10 day stay and hated to leave.

Townhome is a little weathered but great location — short walk to the beach. It’s in a section of Indialantic with a very long and quiet stretch of beach. Restaurants in main part of town are a short walk away. Neighborhood across the street was nice and safe for a leisurely bicycle ride. Joanie addressed minor concerns quickly.

Had a wonderful week at this beachfront condo. Exactly as pictured. Beach chairs were great to have. Actually we spent all of our time at the beach shell hunting. Lots of awesome restaurants nearby. We enjoyed our stay. We would certainly come back !Catherine

Bungalow

We truly enjoyed our stay. Place was very cute and private. Was able to see some of the ocean from the couch. I watched the sunrise every morning. Did have a lot of dump truck noise from the road but there is a lot of construction going on around area. All in all, we would stay again.

Comfortable Stay

We traveled with our 2 small dogs. Property is older, but has lovely updates. Great location. Quiet neighborhood with plenty of shopping and eating options. Fully furnished kitchen. Gas and charcoal grills on patio. Easy access to clean, beautiful beach. Will definitely consider staying again.

Great location, nicely furnished

We really liked the condo and it was perfect for our needs. The location was excellent, close to shops, restaurants, the beach, and friends. The unit was very clean, the only reason for the 4 star rating for cleanliness was the upstairs carpeting was stained and very dirty. It really detracted from the overall charm of the unit. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Christmas Holiday

The Surf Shack was great! The beach was a minute walk. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The mangroves were beautiful! (Half the fencing around patio was in garage, I’m sure from storm, if your planning on bring pets.)

Ocean, ocean, ocean!

My husband and I had such a great time at the condo that we've reserved it for next year. Lovely view of the ocean. Close to everything you'll need as far as places to eat, groceries, or odds and ends. Joanie was fabulous in answering questions. Would recommend staying here.

Great Little Retreat

I grew up down the street from this property and it was exactly the right place and amount of room for the two of us to have available while in town visiting family. Just a quick walk out the back door to the beach and everything you need to be comfortable. It has space for two couples and, while we didn’t bring a pet, it is definitely a dog friendly neighborhood. Parking was convenient, right outside front door and the host was timely in her response to inquiries about a few things.

Visiting my daughter at the beach

We came to the area to visit my daughter who moved down in June. The property had a nice porch area and was steps to the beach. Loved the ability to see the sunrise every morning. Used the grill twice and made smoothies. My daughter stayed over one night which was handy there were two bedrooms. We would definitely stay there again.

It's all about the beach!

This was our second stay at the Surf Shack and it was even better then the first. The owners/Joanie have made numerous improvements and it appears they will continue to do so. Communicating with Joanie was easy and you typically got a response back to your question(s) in about 15 minutes or less. I love the fact that you are close enough to the downtown restaurants that you can walk. The beach is not too busy and was the perfect place to be able to observe a night launch from Cape Canaveral. Love this place!

Just what I needed

The location was perfect, The only issue that I would say is that the switches for the whole unit need to be labeled. And the mattress in the loss needs to be replaced common because it has a dip in it. But other than that this spot was awesome.

Surf Shack

In no way does this reflect on the host, Joanie Sheperd, who we had good communication with, but on the property owner, the carpet up the stairs and hallway were old and smelt moldy, the vent in the upstairs bedroom had mildew and stains, the AC filter had not been changed and was dirty, we changed it ourselves, the windows had bubbling around them showing signs of moisture, the upstairs shower/bath would not turn cold, just trickled out of the shower head. Carpet is never a good idea when pets are allowed, it caused me headaches and coughing from allergies. If these changes were made and fixed, Surf Shack would be a fun and cute place to stay.

Sinclair family

Only problem we really had was that there was no light out on the back patio at all, it was pitch black at night and we had to use our cell phone lights to go outside, the front only had lights that came on when you approached the front door, just felt that there could definitely be more security lighting around the front and the back, but just loved the "beach house" as we called it!!
