The surf rider house was satisfactory but I'm not sure it would have been our first choice. We felt the photos were a bit misleading. The house was much more outdated than it appeared in the photos. The fan in one of the bedrooms and certain fixtures in the bathroom are coated with rust and it was hard to tell if things were just old or actually dirty. We weren't informed that the lower level was actually an underground basement. It was a lot darker than expected and because it was below ground, my parents couldn't open any windows at night for fear of bugs and animals (which we heard quite often). The dining room chairs are falling apart. The toaster oven also needed to be cleaned out because cockroaches were eating the residual food. We had to clean out the charcoal grill manually because part of it was broken and not ready for use. We're a pretty low-maintenance family, but we just didn't feel that we got our money's worth with this house. In general, this home needs some serious love and updating. Not the best neighborhood but we enjoyed the beach across the street.
