The house was clean and spacious. The only bad thing was the water smell and pressure was horrible it was a very bad smell to even wash your teeth we had to use water bottles.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
This was our second year staying here. We had another wonderful time. We highly recommend this property. Thanks again Matt!

Great location. Underwhelming experience
This house was a mixed bag. Decorated well & comfy beds. Plenty of towels & sheets, but most extra bedding was just thrown into each closet on the floor unmarked & unorganized. Thoughtful touches like toys in the kids' room drawer, but no outlet safety plugs. An abundance of kitchen tools, but many rusted-- the can opener so much so it was unusable & we replaced it ourselves. The maintenance guy came by at the beginning of our stay to unclog a shower drain, but his moment of plunging was just a brief bandaid on the issue because that tub never drained properly our entire stay. Gross. The railing on the steps is screwed in only at the top, so the entire thing can swing away to the side the further down you go. Speaking of the steps, the third one from the top is entirely unsafe. It wobbled enough to warrant further investigation, upon which we found that the holes into which it's supposed to be screwed are stripped. I have pictures and videos documenting the railing issue, step issue, & tub drainage issue. When we checked in we were confused as to which lockbox & initially tried the wrong one. I texted the contact number, who'd texted me about the handyman coming not long before that, to communicate our lockbox issue & try to resolve it. There was no reply to that text, but thankfully we figured it out not long after & I followed up saying so a little while after that, to which there was no response either. So when the other issues were noticed, we figured we were on our own.
Vacation on Surfside Beach was awesome for my nieces and their families. I rented this lovely beach house for my nieces and their families. There was lots room for all 10 of them and probably could have had for a couple more people. The location was great, short walk to the beautiful beach and not far of you wanted to go into Galveston. The house was very clean and had a large open living room /kitchen area. Our Host Matt was very quick to response to questions and got back quickly. Definitely would love to come back.
This was the perfect house for our family of 11! Matt, our host, was very courteous and always got back with answers to any questions I might have had. The house was lovely and set up perfectly for us. The only bad thing about the whole stay was that is didn’t last long enough! We can’t wait to go back!
This beach house was in a great location, great view, beautiful updates & perfect set-up, awesome open concept!! The extra long Island made the open concept kitchen/ living room perfect. There were 7 of us 15 - 45yr and this home could not have been more perfect. Our only complaint were the mosquitoes!!! They were terrible on the bottom level when there was no wind. Some citronella tiki torches were available. Still need to BRING YOUR OWN SPRAY!! They are also worse in the dunes, we could not walk to the beach. My boys tried & were attacked, left w/welts all over!
We stayed here with another family and this house is really nice, spacious, and updated! The kid room was great to have to entertain our 5 kids!!! We really enjoyed staying here and will book again!
Great experience all around. House was awesome, host was awesome, very close to the beach and pretty much all you need is furnished. We highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time at this home, beautiful and comfortable inside and outside on the deck. Anytime we had any questions they were attended to very quickly. I love that you could see the beach from the deck and it was easy access. Would definitely come again 😀
House was clean and they did a good job with remodel. My complaint is that the owner has a NEST thermostat and continuously changes it to the middle 70s. Also the refrigerator and the microwave are both very small. Lastly, there are cameras on the patio and grilling area, which seems a little creepy since you are at the beach and most ppl are wearing bathing suits.
