Map & Owner's Profile
Discover Bayview! -- Huge Rooms and Deck, Private Dock
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Surfside Beach
My husband grew up going to Surfside and we love the area! Hurricane Ike did a lot of damage but it has cleaned up really well and the beach has never looked nicer. Our house is on the bay side so it's the best of both worlds. It's a quick walk to the beach but since it is not on the beach, it's more private without all the beach campers within earshot. There is a dock out back that you can fish or crab from and we hear the fishing/crabbing has been great this year. Fun upper deck gives you a bird-eye view. We hope you come see us!
