Beach with a Rainbow
Everything was great even though this area had just suffered a hurricane blow. It’s understandable that property owners cannot control pick-up of debris piles out in front of properties. Management always worked with us on anything that came up. We had to extend our stay 3 times due to a death in our family in town while we were there. The house was great and had nice views too. The house is kept nice and everything in working order. Thank you for a great stay!!

Great location, nice, but had issues
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We love Surfside! The location was great with easy beach access down the street. The multiple decks were amazing for enjoying beach views without sand. However, with this property being pet friendly it would have been helpful to have a permanent swinging gate on the main deck.
Several maintenance issues were unappealing. The outside shower head had a lot of algae growing off of it. The tub/shower faucet in one of the upstairs bedrooms was corroded and made it impossible to turn the shower head off and run bath water. The water sprayer in the kitchen sink also could not be used due to corrosion.
Even though the booklet inside said that professional pest treatment is used at the house we saw too many live roaches in the kitchen to believe that.
If you are wanting a beach themed house this is not for you, as the house is decorated more like a rental in NOLA.

Labor day birthday weekend
Great location with 3 min walk to beach. House was nice but pictures make rooms seem larger. Under rooms descriptions the wording seems that there is a bath/shower in each room. One is down stairs.
Fully stocked for cooking and eating but bring paper plates as most of the dishes are glass.
Oh... and the water there smells bad and the water dispenser in the living room was not working and not fit for drinking so don't forget to bring plenty of bottled water.
Broken figurine on livingroom table... I took a pic to prove we didn't break it. A/C and fans kept it nice and cool.
Beds were comfy.
The house does not supply any beach equipment so bring chairs, beach cart etc. Beach bar was great fun... and you can hear the bands from the back deck.
Overall... had agreat bday weekend.

Phoenix Rising, Surfside TX
The beach house had everything we needed--tableware, dishes, pots/pans, toaster, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, water filtration system, stacked washer/dryer, grill, linens, towels, WIFI, margarita machine--plus nice ocean views. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, there was plenty of space for 4 adults and a child and 2 dogs. Short walk to the beach; several local restaurants within walking distance. About 1-5 hours drive (for us)makes this an ideal destination for a last-minute trip for a long weekend.

Clean, well stocked with what you need. Good location. Short walk to the water. Wish the chairs on the deck were a little taller so you can see the view better sitting. The deck rail is right in the way. Other than that it was a great stay.

Great location needs some tender loving care
We had a great time. The location to the beach was good. We had everything we needed supplied and more. The only downside was two outside patio chairs were broken which could have ended badly. Also loose and broken boards on the balconies. The tub area in the back bedroom had stucco on the faucet and the shower curtain should’ve been replaced. The TV set up in the bedroom had hanging wires etc. we didn’t want to attempt to turn it on. The bed was uncomfortable because the foam under the “burnt or stained” mattress cover was bunched up. We had to reposition it all. The minor “disrepair” did not dampen our view of this place as nothing is perfect. We would rent here again!

This is the perfect location for spending full days on the beach! Easy walk-over
allowed us to go back and forth as needed. The house is a comfortable and well-kept 3 Queen bedroom, 3 full bath, 4 deck home. Great kitchen, spacious living/dining area. The only bad part was having to leave - we will definitely be back!

Great location. Great house.
We rented this house for a long weekend. The photos don't really give you the feeling of house close to the beach you are at this property. It is just a few minutes walk (if that) from the beach. There's no need to take EVERYTHING to the beach, as you can easily go back and grab things as you want/need them. The house is perfect for a family. It would work well for two or three couples that want to rent a place. All three bedrooms have queen beds, so one couple wouldn't be stuck in bunk beds, as is often the case on beach homes. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything you will need and more. Check-in was very easy and painless. A/C is good enough to keep up with the Texas heat. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

This house was the perfect getaway for us! We wanted a place we could feel at home in, and this place had it all! The layout of the house is great with 3 bedrooms upstairs and a huge living room and kitchen downstairs, we enjoyed sitting out on all of the balconies; getting fresh air, drinking our morning coffee, and hanging out after a long beach day! We loved grilling in the patio area downstairs and being able to use the kitchen to cook for our family. This place really has everything you need, and is right on the beach. We loved being able to walk-on everyday! I highly recommend staying here, we definitely will be staying again.

Amazing memories were made!
Our stay at the Phoenix Rising was wonderful! From sitting on one of the 4 balconies with a glass of wine and watching the sun set to staying up late playing cards. Then starting the morning making breakfast and then taking a 3 minute walk to the beach. We booked a 3 night 4 day stay and on our check out morning we were wishing we would have booked a week. We will be back. Thank you for renting out your beautiful beach house.
