Great Location

It really is a very easy walk to the beach. We could easily go back and forth as needed. The beach area was clean and not overly busy. One thing I didn't know about Surfside Beach is that you can drive your car on the beach. It was odd to have cars on the beach but also useful to have an easy way to haul all of your items to the beach. The house itself is small but has everything needed. The kitchen is well stocked. Our only challenge was low water pressure, which I hear is common for the island location. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house to friends.

Just right

We have stayed at this property 3 times. Jennifer is so flexible. We had to change our dates 4 times I think. They do a great job keeping up with the maintenance of the property. It is such a hard place to keep up with the ocean. It is a great location. We love the 1 minute walk to the beach. Each time we have stayed we have taken our dog. It was perfect. Jennifer communicates so very well. Her response is very quick. We love this property and will be back as soon as we can!

Cute l beach house - would rent again!

The beach house was clean and had everything we needed. The landlord communicated very quickly for any of our needs and questions. Just a short walk over the dunes to the beach. We were warned about the mosquitoes, and it’s true! Bring some really good mosquito spray if you’re hanging out at the beach house outside! During the day, they weren’t bad at all, but one evening hit they were pretty plentiful. Of course we were told about the build ration system in the house for bathing and cooking, and that that it was safe. but it does have a really fishy smell so just be prepared for that. We went to a couple restaurants located in the area within 10 miles. We went to Clute Texas for breakfast at a place called Sweet Ts. We had Mexican food at a restaurant called El Himador(or something like that). And we had breakfast on our last day at Seahorse Bar and Grill right down the street from us. Looks like a cool place to hang out for drinks as well. All were really good food! We cooked out a couple nights with hamburgers and hotdogs. We cooked a couple meals in the kitchen. Make sure you bring your bottled water and all the groceries needed to cook at the house and on the grill. We had a great time!

Nice rental

It was clean and cute. Very simple. However, Couches were uncomfortable. Coffee table very wobbly. Kitchen chairs wobbly. Downstairs/outside shower didn't work. And, the smoke detector went off in the middle of the night. The handyman did come by and take care of all issues. (Except the kitchen chairs because i didn't realize this until our last night there) The smoke detector did go off our last night there and i just unplugged it so we wouldn't have to deal with it again. I was under the impression by pics and the comment i read of: a few feet from beach, that it was on the beach. It's not. It wasn't far but i wanted a house with full beach view. But, you make the best of what you get. Jennifer was easy to get ahold of and answered quickly. She sent the handyman quickly to resolve known issues. The home was cute. Beds comfortable. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining because we did enjoy our time there and whenever you stay somewhere else there will be discomforts. I won't stay again, only because it's not on the beach. That's my personal preference. But, i would definitely rent from Jennifer again.

Great location for the price. Easy 2 minute walk to the beach over a boardwalk. We had 7 people which felt about right for the space. No soap/shampoo provided and some of the furnishings are not in great condition, but again it is a bargain price that close to the beach. Nice grill available, but bring your own burger flipper!

The first misleading information is this being 'beachfront'. The only filter I had checked was 'beachfront' (beacuse that was my only requirement) and this property is three houses deep from the beach. No beach views, but a nice view of the highway if that's what's your looking for. Maides were there 30 minutes after check in time still cleaning, shower was very moldy, not all burners on the stove worked, roaches in the dishwasher, the bunk beds are great if you want to be woken up evertime you make any type of movement (super loud), refridgerator was unplugged (that was a fun one to figure out), door hadle came off the front door, and DO NOT DRINK THE WATER (however, how would we know that? It's handwritten on a piece of paper above the thermostat but then covered up by the WIFI password, so we found out the last day when that piece of paper fell down; water filter on kitchen sink sid not work. Overall, due to the fact that this plavce is listed as beachfron on the filter search, I would not recommend if that is important to you (and it was me as we were travelling with someone who is unable to walk to the beach). So I basically wasted 1,000 for a beach house for two nights that was not what it was advirtised for. On the plus side, the owner or manager did message back when I contacted her.

The pictures don't do it justice. It's on the corner with several parking spots underneath and a couple on the driveway. There's a fenced in area for dogs next to the driveway. The house has a nice front balcony and a little one off the main room. The rooms are nice with two full bathrooms. It was much nicer than we expected. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
We are out door person, we like hiking, jogging, swimming, fishing, crabbing. We like run away from busy and stressful city life when ever we can have a break...up to the mountain or down to the beach. Surfside beach is our weekend get away place, we love to jogging on the beach early in the morning, walking on the jetty to watch the beautiful sun set by the end of day, and wondering on the beach under the moon, listening to the sound of the wave...

Why they chose this property

Surfside is a fun place to go fishing, crabbing, surfing, and kayaking. You can find much pleasure here on Surfside as you can find at Galveston and more...And it it not too far from big city, only about an hour drive to Houston. A mid size town with shopping mall, movie theater,and quality restaurant is only 15min away.

What makes this property unique

Surfside is fun but not as crowded as Galveston. Without much commercial commodities as Galveston has, surfside beach is more closer to nature.
