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 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.

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.

We have stayed at Surfside many times. This home is in a terrific location with easy access to the beach and great ocean views from the large patio. The house lay out is fantastic for a large group or family. It is beautiful inside and comfortable. It is so close to being an absolutely wonderful beach home. But there were a couple of issues that really need to be addressed:1) during the day the house was hot. Even though the thermostat was set at 72 it got as hot as 78-80 degrees inside and even hotter in the big bedroom up front which never cooled down, even at night. When I called I was told the AC was functioning well but the house needed better insulation. The home was very comfortable at night, with the exception of room with the bunk beds which never could cook down, but the AC could not keep the house cool during the day.2) I believe the water is well water because it has a strong odor. You will need to bring bottled drinking and cooking water.Aside from these two issues it is a great place. If the cooling issue could be addressed it would be a perfect beach get away.

June 20-25 Fanily Vacation

We had an amazing time staying here! They had everything we needed, and of course they told us what extra stuff to bring just in case. We had a week stay and it was a great time away! Only thing i suggest is bring extra bug spray for between the houses on the walk to the beach. The host always answered any time i had a question and was very nice. Thank you for letting us make this our home away from home!

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 😀

Nice Beach Home

The property was really nice. We had seven kids with us and the house accommodated us perfectly. It's been renovated recently. If you are a fan of Surfside, this is a great little place to call home for your beach getaway.
