Surfside is close enough to Houston for a day trip, and far enough from the Galveston crowds to be peaceful. Surfside Beach is a quaint little village not far from Lake Jackson, which provides shopping and restaurants for locals and visitors alike.
If you are looking for a quiet place to fish, surf, watch the many migratory birds or just kick back with family and friends, Surfside is just the place for you. Join us for a week of rest, relaxation and recreation with a glorious view of sunrise over the ocean as you let our beachfront home, "Wyndswept" be your escape from the ordinary. The soothing sounds of the surf and the simple joy of walking along the beach as you look for the perfect seashell can be yours.
With three bedrooms and two full baths, new full size washer and dryer, AND ALL LINENS PROVIDED!! Master and second bedroom have Queen beds, third bedroom has a pair of bunks. Living Room has a brand new sofa that makes a queen size bed too. We have a terrific deck with nothing blocking the view of the beach! Add a 50 inch plasma TV and a Xbox 360 game system, and you won't be finding a better deal anywhere.

Map & Owner's Profile
Wyndswept- Come and Be Wyndswept Away!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Surfside Beach
We were looking for a property close enough to where we live and work to be accessible...but far enough away to be a "getaway". We visit when we can, and share it with others when we can't!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Wyndswept is on Middle Beach in Surfside, TX. It's peaceful, and I love to sit on the deck and watch the waves and listen to the beach sounds. Wyndswept has seen wonderful things happen, it seems to almost have a blessing on it. At any rate, we do hope that it blesses you as it has us.
Turn left off of 332 after you come over the big bridge over the intracoastal waterway. Once on Bluewater Hwy, the house is 0.9 miles from the bridge. Just past Howard St, turn right into the cul-d-sa

Our family welcomes you to Wyndswept, our retreat from the stress of every-day life. It is our hope that it blesses you as it has brought blessing to us.

" Thanks for a fabulous place to spend our first vacation with our adopted daughters! The adoption was finalized last Friday and we couldn't think of a nicer place to celebrate! The girls are 4 & 6 years old. We also had our neices 15 & 17 years old, and even Ma Ma made it. (I'm not going to tell you that she's 82 years old!) Everyone had a blast...we'll be back as soon as possible!"

We loved our stay, even though we picked a very cold week in February, and the hurricane had taken a toll on the dunes, we still enjoyed the beautiful expansive view from the deck, and the great comfy decor inside. Definitely recommend.

Wow, incredible oasis in the perfect location. Amenities galore, nothing was overlooked, the grandkids had a big-screen field day with a treasure trove of great movies, books, video games and a flawless high speed internet connection. Carpet throughout is almost unheard of in this area, what a treat to the feet. Comfortable furniture and luxury bedding, even a double theater-style recliner in the family room for kickin' back after a fun-filled day on the beach. Speaking of the beach, it is just outside the front door, this is one of the best spots to enjoy the Gulf, including Galveston Island. Crabbing and fishing at the old pier within 200 yards of the house is fantastic and the views are incredible. We sighted playful dolphins splashing directly in front of the house every morning, what a breathtaking way to drink your morning coffee, bring your binoculars. Cook if you want to but there are fantastic restaurants within a mile, the Red Snapper Inn is a must and Kitty's Purple Cow is always a good time for all. Convenience stores just around the corner and this year we found a Kroger Store in Freeport, just 10 minutes away. We started visiting Surfside in the 60's while we lived in the Houston area, we now travel from DFW at least once a year to get our fix. Galveston is just over the San Luis Pass bridge if you like the crowds, want to visit the Strand or do some sight seeing but there are several souvenir shops that always make our grandkids smile right in Surfside. If you enjoy live music and a little nightlife, Hammerhead Bar and Burger, the Castaway Club and the Jetty Shack are within a stones throw. There are several vendors close by that offer economical rentals for everything from surfboards and kayaks to golf carts to drive down the beach. Surfside is known as a sleepy, laid back village but any vacation wish is within reach. This beach home is set on middle beach where the sand and surf are cleaned regularly and patrolled by local police making it a safe and clean environment for all. We totally loved our 10 day stay at Windswept, we could have remained there indefinitely. Thanks Hal and Michelle for the use of your home. Blessings, Eric and Debbie (Gramps and Grandma Younkin) 817-9663996 Dallas/Fort Worth
Owner response:Thanks so much for staying at Wyndswept; hurry back soon! Our terrific website pictures were all done by Eric, arn't they awesome?! Let Eric do all of your professional photography, Wyndswept does!
