MUCH OF THE GULF COAST,INCLUDING SURFSIDE BEACH WAS HIT HARD BY HURRICANE IKE AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING. WYNDSWEPT LOST IT'S GARAGE BUT IS OTHERWISE UNDAMAGED.
BOTTLED DRINKING WATER IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
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.

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 Oceanfront Beach 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.
