This home is a dream come true for this very sweet family. They looked for several years to find just the right home to make memories with their children when they stumbled onto this treasure here in Surfside Beach, TX. Throughout the remodel process they found time for fun; they caught and cooked crab, Mom caught her first Flounder and Red Fish, they have watched many beautiful sunsets, shared a few bowls of popcorn on movie nights, BUT more than anything their families journey to create life long memories has only just begun. This is why they have decided to share their dream with other families who are looking for a few moments in time that they can take back to where ever they call home.

Property was nice the pier was a little dirty but it’s understandable with all the birds around there.......the fishing was amazing., when the tide was in we caught our limit in reds both nights and some keeper cheap heads
Beautiful home, very conveniently located and walkable to beachfront, in addition to the the stunning view of the bay. Bird watchers paradise! Beds were comfy, kitchen stocked with extras, tech savvy tv and docking stations, etc. Property managers were very helpful, patient and responsive. Will be back- loved!
Thanks,
Kristi and Thomas
Our stay was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed the beautiful home decor and view of the bay. The layout of the house was wonderful for our large family. Our children loved the bunkroom with the beds, TV, games, individual cubbies, and more. The large gourmet kitchen was fantastic for cooking family meals together. We spent a lot of time on the dock fishing, crabbing, and watching the sunset. We will definitely come back to this amazing home, Dock by the Bay, when we visit Surfside.
I rented “Dock of the Bay” for my 40th birthday girls weekend. 10 of us came down on a Friday night and stayed the weekend. The house was perfectly laid out to accommodate this many people and the kitchen to living room flow was excellent. We cooked several meals and any utensil you could possibly need was available and at our fingertips. We loved watching the sunset from the dock while having happy hour and listening to music. The house was impeccable and clean. We also enjoyed our morning strolls on the beach and the accessibility was so easy! We loved every minute of our time here and cannot wait to go back! I highly recommend this rental!
We really enjoyed this house! It's was very nicely decorated, fully furnished w/ everything you could need from home, plenty of space for a large group, large deck to watch the sunset and a great dock on the bay. I highly recommend this place!
