I am VERY happy with this rental experience. We stayed at this wonderful house for one week and we had an amazing time. The 3 to 4 minute walk to the beach was very convenient. The house was very welcoming and very clean. My family of 7 fit very comfortably. I highly recommend this house, the owners were easy to get ahold of via the VRBO messenger. If we find ourselves in Surfside, Texas again, we will be staying here!

We rented this property as a second house for a family gathering recently. The "young unmarrieds" (six of them) of our family stayed here. The tasteful decor is bright and charming, and there's a large kitchen and seating area. They all seemed to be very happy with it and liked having their own little place, while also participating most of the time with the other family members staying in the main house just a short walk away. Although it's on the second row from the beach, it's on the corner so not crowded next to other houses, and there is still a pretty good window of beach view from the porch.

The house was very pretty and clean. Our favorite part was the open plan living room and kitchen area where we got to hang out and play games. We also loved how close the beach was. Everything was perfect and we were very happy with our stay.

Daughter Birthday party

We enjoyed our stay for the weekend. The house was very clean, great location. The rooms were very big and beds were comfortable. The only thing is that their were tons of roofing nails that we had to pick up so no one got hurt.

lovely and very quiet. So restful and relaxing. Some minor things I think you might want to be aware of. The floor in both bathrooms are lifting up, (maybe due to water?), the bathtub fixtures in both bathrooms need replacing, hard to take a shower, ants were noted in the silverware drawer, and loose boards on the steps up and handrails. Would rent again. Thank you.

Great location!

It was a quick weekend get away for my family and I. The house was the perfect size for all 11 of us. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. The best part was location! When not on the beach, we sat on the deck watching the waves come in. Even though the house sits on the second row you still get a great view of the ocean!

Beach view at an affordable price

You can see and hear the waves from the very spacious covered front porch. The only thing missing from the kitchen was garlic powder. The king bed was so comfortable and I really enjoyed my afternoon nap on the living room couch. The neighborhood is so quiet. There’s a little sandy opening on the dunes that you can walk across to get to the beach. I definitely recommend the house and we will definitely be going there in the future.

Cute House, too hot

The house is cute and very nicely equipped. Location right next to beach is excellent. We left a day early because we couldn’t sleep well- the AC couldn’t keep the home cool enough for indoor comfort. Maybe bring extra fans if you can. The mosquitos on the walk from the property to the beach were very intense- clouds of them. Maybe because of recent storms. I would bring lots of repellant. We were unaware that the local water situation was not potable. This house has a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink, which is a very nice feature. but had we known about the water ahead of time we would have been able to bring our own bottled as well.

Pre Spring-Break break

What a great place to relax! The spaciousness of the cottage was a welcome sight. A large family area with lots of games and reading material. The porch has two picnic tables and lots of extra chairs. The kitchen is well stocked. We boiled snow crab and bbq’d hamburgers. Everything we needed was there. The beach is a short walk over the sand dunes. It is well kept and patrolled by local law enforcement. There was a large driftwood tree, just past the sand dunes, on the beach. It was the perfect place to set up our bonfire. If you forget anything, there is a convenience store up the road. They also sell fishing licenses and souvenirs. There are restaurants and a bar minutes away. Golf carts are allowed on the beach and there is a rental place nearby. Surf Side is so different from Galveston, much more family friendly and less crowded. It was a great weekend. My family really enjoyed themselves. We will be back.

Good, not great

First of all, the location is great! However, when we arrived the temp of the house was at 82° - a little strange if you know guests are coming. Temp didn’t go down after a while, so we contacted management (quick replies - a plus!), they sent someone out and pipes ended up needing to be flushed out. By the morning, it was down to 73. That was great, except every day it got up to 82 again. I realize it’s hot, and a lot of A/Cs have a hard time keeping up, but the house isn’t that huge. Also- this isn’t our first time vacationing in Surfside over the summer, but this is our first house to get this hot. It should be noted that the bunk room is HOT. Like really, really hot. Back two bedrooms stay at a comfortable temp. We did not turn the temp below 70, and we kept doors and windows shut (like asked). Kitchen is pretty well stocked. Having a covered deck is nice at all times of the day.

We had a great time, Matt was quick to respond when asked if we could enter a little early. The beds are old and sunken in, but that’s more of a recommendation to get new ones rather than a complaint! We would definitely rent again.
