About this house rental

Discount for 7-night stays!

Wake up over the waves with a 180° view of the sunrise while you watch dolphins swim by.

Enjoy the safety of the only car-free stretch of beach in Surfside (Pedestrian Beach). This beach is much more private / less crowded than anywhere else miles around. Spacious patio and the only deck with a hot tub on the Pedestrian beach.

No need to cross any roads, boardwalks, etc to get to the beach. For your convenience, the beach is right at the bottom of the stairs.

No need to set up camp on the beach, since you can come in and out of the shade or up onto the deck easily anytime during the day. Watch your family and friends play in the surf from the deck.

This location is right in the heart of Surfside. The house is a 1-minute drive from the main bridge to Freeport and within easy walking distance to the best restaurants and nightlife. etc. Ample parking and beds for a very large group.

This house offers a truly unique experience in the Surfside area.

-- OUTDOOR LIVING --

- BEACH -
Quiet, safe, uncrowded, warm-water beach on the only stretch of sand where cars are not permitted (Pedestrian Beach).

The beach is on the property itself (no hike over a boardwalk needed). The ocean slope gets about a foot deeper every 10 feet you walk out, so it’s 5 foot deep about 50 feet out, so it’s easy to find a “sweet spot” that is shoulder-depth relatively close to shore. Dolphins regularly swim 50-75 feet offshore (where you swim).

Unless there is a burn ban, bonfires on the beach are allowed in Surfside (on the ocean side of the dune, not on the house side). From the Surfside website: “Campfires are permitted on the beach only if they are under control and no bigger than 3’ x 3’.”

- Deck -
180° views of the ocean, and shouting distance to friends playing in the surf. 4 tall polywood Adirondack chairs with built-in tables. Many lightweight chairs to arrange for your group as needed. Convenient foot wash is located at the top of the stairs to make it easy to come in from the beach feeling clean and sand-free.

- Hot Tub -
6-person hot tub perched on the upper deck with fantastic views. Easy-open cover lifter.

Pros: right on the beach, plenty of seating for large groups, 2 refrigerators, no cars on the beach, cute swings under the house. A/C is great, nice decor, plenty of towels, washer & dryer, good communication with host. Cons: house needs upgrades, the stove, oven & microwave are all small/ work poorly. The pots and pans are mostly old/ in bad shape or missing lids. Everything feels a little old/ run down. The water smells terrible. The beach is crowded because you are right next to the public beach and people park over there and walk over and set up right in front of the house (some under the house 😒). The only deck is crowded with the hot tub. None of the bedrooms have nice views. The check in is 4:30 (super late considering the 10am check out too). We stayed after a recent flood and under the house where you park was covered with trash and sand, I understand they were trying to get the sand cleaned out and were on waiting lists but they should have at least had someone clean out all the trash (old beach chairs, umbrellas, broken grills, tree trunks, and actual trash like empty bottles etc.) I told the maintenance guy who came to fix something but he just left everything as is. Overall I think this spot is fine but is overpriced and under cared for.

Our stay at this beach house was pure bliss! The owner's hospitality was exceptional, making us feel incredibly welcome. The house itself was stunning, with breathtaking ocean views and modern amenities. Private beach access was a dream come true, and the owner's helpfulness made our stay even more enjoyable. We can't wait to come back for another perfect vacation! Highly recommended!

We had a great weekend at the Starfish! Everything worked great and the location was excellent- right on the beach! We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the waves and the hot tub was a hit! Thanks Kourtney for the excellent communication and making everything easy! We definitely plan to return!

This is a great property right on the beach! Everything was perfect for our party of 13. Plenty of beds, sofas, eating areas and parking for our multiple vehicles. The owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns. We particularly loved being able to have our groceries delivered from H‑E‑B the same night we arrived. We also loved the location so close to a small grocery store, restaurants, the levy, and ice whenever we needed it. The rinse off shower under the house, three huge trash containers and baby gates were an added bonus. We would definitely recommend this property! Thank you to Kourtney and her husband for making our vacation so perfect.

The property was fantastic, beds were cozy, and Kourtney was helpful throughout. The kids loved the swings and the quick access to the beach just to the side of the house around the dunes. We had an amazing time. The only, and I mean only, detractor would be that there is not enough pots/pans to feed a group the size that the house can hold. We made it work without much fuss, though. So can you!

Beach House was absolutely fantastic. Very clean and updated. Perfect location on the beach, with short walk to bars/restaurants and stores. We had a great time and will definitely be back! - Justin

This property is wonderful! It’s exactly as shown. Everyone loved the swings underneath! We spent most of our time on the deck when we weren’t on the beach. Would stay here again! So much room!
