Just out the back door, around the pool, over the dune, and you're at the beach! We were so impressed with Surfside Beach--family friendly, only one high rise hotel, brand new pier, quiet town but places to eat, clean, soft white sand. We walked the beach every day. Condo was just right--comfortable king bed, AC and wifi worked well, kitchen had everything we needed, screened porch a very nice addition. You can hear folks walking around upstairs but not enough to bother us.
