We enjoyed our stay for the weekend. The house was very clean, great location. The rooms were very big and beds were comfortable. The only thing is that their were tons of roofing nails that we had to pick up so no one got hurt.

The house is cute and very nicely equipped. Location right next to beach is excellent. We left a day early because we couldn’t sleep well- the AC couldn’t keep the home cool enough for indoor comfort. Maybe bring extra fans if you can. The mosquitos on the walk from the property to the beach were very intense- clouds of them. Maybe because of recent storms. I would bring lots of repellant. We were unaware that the local water situation was not potable. This house has a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink, which is a very nice feature. but had we known about the water ahead of time we would have been able to bring our own bottled as well.

It was a quick weekend get away for my family and I. The house was the perfect size for all 11 of us. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. The best part was location! When not on the beach, we sat on the deck watching the waves come in. Even though the house sits on the second row you still get a great view of the ocean!

What a great place to relax! The spaciousness of the cottage was a welcome sight. A large family area with lots of games and reading material. The porch has two picnic tables and lots of extra chairs. The kitchen is well stocked. We boiled snow crab and bbq’d hamburgers. Everything we needed was there. The beach is a short walk over the sand dunes. It is well kept and patrolled by local law enforcement. There was a large driftwood tree, just past the sand dunes, on the beach. It was the perfect place to set up our bonfire. If you forget anything, there is a convenience store up the road. They also sell fishing licenses and souvenirs. There are restaurants and a bar minutes away. Golf carts are allowed on the beach and there is a rental place nearby. Surf Side is so different from Galveston, much more family friendly and less crowded. It was a great weekend. My family really enjoyed themselves. We will be back.

The house was very pretty and clean. Our favorite part was the open plan living room and kitchen area where we got to hang out and play games. We also loved how close the beach was. Everything was perfect and we were very happy with our stay.

First of all, the location is great! However, when we arrived the temp of the house was at 82° - a little strange if you know guests are coming. Temp didn’t go down after a while, so we contacted management (quick replies - a plus!), they sent someone out and pipes ended up needing to be flushed out. By the morning, it was down to 73. That was great, except every day it got up to 82 again. I realize it’s hot, and a lot of A/Cs have a hard time keeping up, but the house isn’t that huge. Also- this isn’t our first time vacationing in Surfside over the summer, but this is our first house to get this hot. It should be noted that the bunk room is HOT. Like really, really hot. Back two bedrooms stay at a comfortable temp. We did not turn the temp below 70, and we kept doors and windows shut (like asked). Kitchen is pretty well stocked. Having a covered deck is nice at all times of the day.

This house was a mixed bag. Decorated well & comfy beds. Plenty of towels & sheets, but most extra bedding was just thrown into each closet on the floor unmarked & unorganized. Thoughtful touches like toys in the kids' room drawer, but no outlet safety plugs. An abundance of kitchen tools, but many rusted-- the can opener so much so it was unusable & we replaced it ourselves. The maintenance guy came by at the beginning of our stay to unclog a shower drain, but his moment of plunging was just a brief bandaid on the issue because that tub never drained properly our entire stay. Gross. The railing on the steps is screwed in only at the top, so the entire thing can swing away to the side the further down you go. Speaking of the steps, the third one from the top is entirely unsafe. It wobbled enough to warrant further investigation, upon which we found that the holes into which it's supposed to be screwed are stripped. I have pictures and videos documenting the railing issue, step issue, & tub drainage issue. When we checked in we were confused as to which lockbox & initially tried the wrong one. I texted the contact number, who'd texted me about the handyman coming not long before that, to communicate our lockbox issue & try to resolve it. There was no reply to that text, but thankfully we figured it out not long after & I followed up saying so a little while after that, to which there was no response either. So when the other issues were noticed, we figured we were on our own.

Vacation on Surfside Beach was awesome for my nieces and their families. I rented this lovely beach house for my nieces and their families. There was lots room for all 10 of them and probably could have had for a couple more people. The location was great, short walk to the beautiful beach and not far of you wanted to go into Galveston. The house was very clean and had a large open living room /kitchen area. Our Host Matt was very quick to response to questions and got back quickly. Definitely would love to come back.

This was the perfect house for our family of 11! Matt, our host, was very courteous and always got back with answers to any questions I might have had. The house was lovely and set up perfectly for us. The only bad thing about the whole stay was that is didn’t last long enough! We can’t wait to go back!

This beach house was in a great location, great view, beautiful updates & perfect set-up, awesome open concept!! The extra long Island made the open concept kitchen/ living room perfect. There were 7 of us 15 - 45yr and this home could not have been more perfect. Our only complaint were the mosquitoes!!! They were terrible on the bottom level when there was no wind. Some citronella tiki torches were available. Still need to BRING YOUR OWN SPRAY!! They are also worse in the dunes, we could not walk to the beach. My boys tried & were attacked, left w/welts all over!

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 😀

House was clean and they did a good job with remodel. My complaint is that the owner has a NEST thermostat and continuously changes it to the middle 70s. Also the refrigerator and the microwave are both very small. Lastly, there are cameras on the patio and grilling area, which seems a little creepy since you are at the beach and most ppl are wearing bathing suits.

Beautiful property!

Beautiful property!

If you are looking for an affordable family get away right near the beach, this is the place for you! The house is very well kept, with beautiful interiors and a stunning view of the ocean. There was plenty of room for our family (8 adults, 4 children). We had an amazing time. The only thing that you should be aware of is that although it is listed as a 4 bedroom, it isn’t, it is a 3 bedroom. This resulted in my husband and our two boys having to unexpectedly share a room with my sister and her friend (which is really no problem for us, but I assume it could be a problem for other families).

Nice home, great location, hosting skills need some work

Nice home, great location, hosting skills need some work

Our group of 8 (3 adults, 5 kids) stayed over Memorial Day and had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable, roomy, and steps from the beach. Unfortunately when we arrived the AC was turned off and the house was 90 degrees. It took 10 hours to cool to an appropriate summer temperature. I requested a partial refund for that very hot first night but as of this review that has not yet been addressed. Other things to note: - Though there's a filtration system, the water is not potable. It's dark yellow and salty and you'll need to supply all of your own drinking water. - There are only 2 bathrooms plus an outdoor shower; the listing said 3 bathrooms when we rented it. - The chef's knives in the kitchen all had 2 inches broken off at the tip or were rusted; they work, but they're not in good condition. - One of the beds wasn't made and one had sand in it so we had to change sheets the first night in the two top bunk beds. - We only had 5 towels for 8 people, though the property manager dropped off more the next day. Look for extras in the upper closet of the bunk room. - The access code is for the lockbox, not the front door keypad; that tip should save you a little time when you try to enter the property. - The property owner said we left stained bath towels; I'm not sure what they were stained with as we only used them inside for drying off after showers and didn't inspect them for stains before we used them, but be aware up front that if you leave dirty towels, they may penalize you for it. Overall it's a lovely place and a great location, but taken together, the snafus above tainted our enjoyment of the place. Easy issues to fix with a little bit of attention.

Nice Beach house / Great location

Nice Beach house / Great location

This beach house was everything we expected and more, it was steps away from the beach and and a big balcony to sit outside and watch the waves. My family of 7 had plenty of room and everyone had a good time. I dealt with Matt when setting up the rental and he was awesome, answered any questions quick and had great customer service. I will say the only con of staying at this particular beach house is that the owner of the house watches you through their security camera on the balcony. I would most definitely stay here again and just cover or unplug the balcony camera the next time.

Awesome House very close to beach

Awesome House very close to beach

This property was great. One short walk between the two houses on the first row and we were at the beach! House had plenty of dishes, pots and pans as well. There were lots of games we played when it got too dark for the little ones to be at the beach. Beds are comfortable, towels were great quality and the whole home set up was awesome. Plenty of space! Beach can be seen from chairs on porch. My kids range in age from 3 to 18 and everyone had an amazing time!

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.
