The Neighborhood:
We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! This particular home is located in the heart of Surfside and just a few blocks from the Jetty which is an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts, and with surfing, shelling, and beachcombing just steps away, there's something for everyone to do.

Getting Around:
No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.

Other Things to Note:
HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:
The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY:
Bring Fido(s)! We welcome your furry friends (aka family members). Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per dog per stay.

WIFI/TV SERVICE:
Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!

The problem with the septic system was unacceptable. Raw sewage draining onto the patio below. When we notified them, they said its a problem with the city sewage backed up and that they were aware. The outdoor shower was not functioning. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Accommodations!

We absolutely loved our stay at "Sea Forever". The house is bright and airy and furnished very nicely inside and out - with the perfect mixture of style and comfort. We spent a lot of time on the deck (loved the comfortable chairs!) watching the waves and enjoying the gulf breeze. We will definitely stay here again!

Property was amazing. Loved the glider rockers. They are on my list to purchase some just like them. This property was a notch above the ones we have rented for the last five years. Nicely maintained and care has obviously been taken to furnish it with items that will last. Would rent again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

Stay-cation with view

This is the best spot by far. This is the last morning of our stay. I made a breakfast of eggs, sausage and juice that we ate watching the waves hitting the shore. Sooo relaxing. The place was equipped and clean. The views are spectacular. Spent most of it on the deck just looking at the ships slowly roll in. You can hear the sound of the ocean when you sleep. It was great. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you for sharing this amazing beach cottage with us💛💙💛💙💛💙💛

Heaven on Earth

We arrived for a two week stay. First time experience on the Gulf coast. The beach house was like home on Lake Superior with the international shipping travel and waves enjoyed by surfers in we suits. Grand fun to observe with binoculars from the top deck. Seafood, fruit and veggies spectacular compared to home in MN. Foggy days reminder me of sailing summers in Maine. Loved the total relaxation and weather. Not too hot which made walking the beach wonderful. Small town feel with friendly locals House was nothing short of perfect. Super response from management with any questions we had during the stay. In good hands for sure. Will look to book again. Thank you soooo much
