Unique Surfside Surprise | Steps to Beach & Fun
Welcome to Surfside Surprise – A Beach Getaway Like No Other!
Tired of bland, cookie-cutter vacation homes with the same rattan furniture and no personality? So were we! That’s why we created Surfside Surprise – a designer-decorated beach house that’s as stylish as it is fun, with surprises around every corner. From a shuffleboard table cleverly tucked behind the couch to an infinity gaming table loaded with digital board games, every detail has been designed to make your stay unforgettable.
Explore themed spaces like the "Titanic Room," complete with authentic vintage life rings, and marvel at the floor-to-ceiling wave mural on the stairway. Kids will love the ship-inspired bunkroom, complete with porthole mirrors for that seafaring feel. And the best part? We’re only an hour from Houston and totally pet-friendly. Bring your furry friends along for the adventure!
Living Spaces Unwind in the spacious living area, featuring a plush sectional sofa that’s perfect for family movie nights on the 65” HDTV with WiFi. Prefer something interactive? Challenge your group to a game of shuffleboard, dive into digital board games on the infinity gaming table, or grab a board game for some old-school fun. A cozy side chair is ready for those who want a quiet nook for reading or scrolling.
Kitchen & Dining The chef in your group will love the fully-equipped kitchen, featuring stylish seafoam green cabinets, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and floating shelves. A breakfast bar with seating for three makes mornings easy, while the dedicated coffee bar (with single-cup and full-pot Keurig options) ensures you start the day right with complimentary coffee pods and snacks.
When it’s time to dine, head to the alfresco dining table on the deck to enjoy your meal with a side of ocean breeze.
Bedrooms & Baths With room for up to 14 guests, Surfside Surprise offers the perfect blend of comfort and style across four bedrooms:
Primary Suite #1: King bed, nautical decor, ceiling fan, TV, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Primary Suite #2: King bed, rustic-chic design, deck access, TV, and ensuite bath with walk-in shower. Perfect for a quiet late-night wine moment under the stars. Guest Room: Two queen beds, wave-inspired decor, TV, and a corner armchair for quiet moments. Kids’ Bunkroom: Ship-inspired design with two queen beds and two doubles, porthole mirrors, two ceiling fans, TV, and plenty of storage. Two full baths with walk-in showers and a half bath ensure everyone has space to get ready. A full-size washer and dryer add convenience.
Outdoor Amenities Your outdoor adventure starts here! Enjoy stunning water views from the seating on both decks, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Fire up the gas grill for a barbecue under the house, complete with picnic tables featuring built-in drink coolers.
While the grill heats up, challenge the crew to a game of ping pong or corn hole. As the sun sets, gather around the firepit for marshmallow roasting and storytelling.
The fully fenced yard ensures a safe space for kids and pets to play. After a sandy beach day, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower.

5/5 – Perfect Family Getaway!
We had the most amazing time at this beautiful home in Freeport! The location was absolutely perfect—just minutes from the beach and close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and quiet for relaxing evenings.The amenities were fantastic for our family. Our three young kids had a blast with the kid-friendly touches, and we appreciated how thoughtfully the home was stocked. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described (if not better!).We truly felt at home here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this spot for any family looking for a fun, easy, and memorable beach getaway!

Friend and Family
We rented this house as a quick get away for 13 people. 6 Children ranging in ages 10-17 and the rest were adults. The house was amazing, enough space for everyone and the games that were provided gave our kids so much entertainment.
The house was clean and beautifully decorated. Will definitely be back’

Great Home away from Home
Overall great experience! House was as described. Even when encountered minor issue, the owner was very helpful in getting someone there for quick repair. Split AC systems worked amazing, great idea for temp control throughout the house. We didn’t have pets with us but I could tell it would be a fun place for them as well. Vicinity to the beach was not as close as we expected but far from a deal breaker. We will return, until next time!

Great time!
We really enjoyed the house. Pretty much everything that was needed was available for you. There isn’t a lot of storage space or a pantry for groceries but we managed and kept a lot of the dry items in the grocery bags until we needed them. Also there really isn’t an indoor dining table but again we managed and the weather cooperated to sit on the deck where there is a large table and chairs. I’d bring a cleaning spray or wipes next time for the kitchen. It’s nice to have the Kuerig cup and pot combo and if we had more coffee drinkers I would’ve used the pot(which takes grounds). Pods are available but glad we brought a box since there were only decaf pods available. Again nothing I mentioned was bad for the house or the trip just a few things we noticed that might help the next. The beach shed was amazing and we did enjoy our stay. The house is clean and new with amenities you may not find at others. There was a lot of attention put into this property down to the guidebook. Thanks for a memorable trip!

Family Fun Rental
If you are looking for a rental for some family fun, this is the place. The home is spacious and beautiful! Plenty of amenities too. Stocked kitchen with large table for big families. We had access to plenty of beach toys, chairs, and a wagon and it was just a short walk to the beach. We loved the shuffleboard, game console, and access to Netflix, Prime, and HBO Max. So much so, we spent more time at the house than the beach. Owners were kind and easy to work with. We will be back for sure.

First Time At Surfside!
It was our first time in Surfside with close friends that we often travel with, and we sincerely enjoyed our stay! The whole place was very clean and welcoming once we arrived! The house had EVERYTHING we needed, and then some, plus the decoration is wonderful! We all enjoyed our time around the fire pit and the grill! We walked several times to the beach because of the close proximity to it! All we would suggest is an electric bug zapper, but other than that, everything was incredible! And don’t forget to enjoy the entertainment games, because it was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you so much for everything, and we look forward to returning!!

A wonderful place to stay!
The house was absolutely beautiful. There were games available, indoors and outdoor, great internet, the house had more then we needed and you could tell the owners took pride in the home. While we were all adults, this would also be a great place for all ages. The furnishing were lovely and we will definitely be repeat customers.
