Wonderful stay!

The property was clean and as advertised. The house is well laid out and wonderfully stocked. We felt very at home. The beach was super close and there was a fun dock to go crabbing within walking distance. We will definitely rent again.

Amazing Stay on Texas Gulf Coast

We had an amazing time! The bikes were perfect to ride around and then stop for a walk on the jetties. The outdoor games of cornhole and rings and darts were a huge hit to escape the heat. The house was stocked with everything we needed from coffee to snacks. Michelle was super responsive to all of my questions. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend!

Favorite rental so far!

I have rented a few properties at Surfside and this one has been my favorite so far! Key amenities were the water filtration and washing machine/dryer. Very kid friendly, roomy and loved having the oscillating fans. Truly don't have a negative or wish anything was different (ok, other than the mosquitos but it's that time of year ;)) Will definitely be back and renting this property again!

Beautiful rental!

We've been coming to Surfside for 5 yrs now and this has been the nicest rental we've ever had. The house was VERY clean and stocked. The owner's thought of everything and the basket of snacks and goodies when we arrived was so thoughtful and nice. The decor is beautifully done. There wasn't one single thing we didn't love about the house and location.The owner was very quick to respond and answer all our questions. We will definitely be staying here again soon! Can't wait.😊❤️

Perfect vacation

The property was better than it was described. Everything was spotless and beautiful. The attention to detail with the supplies and the decor of the house were amazing. The snack basket was a hit with our kids, Access to the beach was a nice walking distance. The neighbors were friendly, we loved the small town feel. This was our first time in Surfside and we loved it. Not too big of a city and too busy. We will be back soon!

Great Family Beach House!

This house was clean, comfortable, and close enough to walk to the beach. It was very well-supplied. We felt welcome and all ages found something special to enjoy. Our 3-year-old spent the evenings catching frogs from the porch swing, our 8-year-old spent beach moments on the boogie board that was made available, and our 13-year-old giggled her way through the "Grumpy Cat" book she found on the shelf. The parents appreciated the outdoor shower that kept the sand outside, as well as the buggy for rolling gear to the beach. The Surfside pedestrian beach felt safe and family-friendly. The town has a few little shops and restaurants, but it doesn't feel like a heavily commercialized spot, which we also liked. If you want a great place to bring the family to the ocean and just enjoy each other and the waves, we highly recommend this home! The owner was kind, accessible, and helpful. Thank you for everything!!

Perfect place to stay

The property was perfect for a beach vacation. It was very clean, spacious and looked just like the pictures. The downstairs area with seating and games was awesome!

Michelle went above and beyond to ensure that her guests feel at home! We loved riding bikes along the beach, watching ships go by, walking the jetties, cooking on the grill in the evening, and enjoying the fire pit at night!! We will certainly return when we can!

Amazing Beach Experience!!

Of all the vacation properties we have rented, my family thoroughly enjoyed this one the most. It was immaculate, well decorated, clean, and just BEAUTIFUL!! It has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, and was plenty spacious for our family of 5 (going on 6.) Within walking distance to the beach, it was lovely to wake up early and watch the ships come in. When we return to Surfside, we will definitely be booking this home again!
