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.

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 😀

lovely and very quiet. So restful and relaxing. Some minor things I think you might want to be aware of. The floor in both bathrooms are lifting up, (maybe due to water?), the bathtub fixtures in both bathrooms need replacing, hard to take a shower, ants were noted in the silverware drawer, and loose boards on the steps up and handrails. Would rent again. Thank you.
