Taking reservations for 2010. We fill up early and fast. Book your vacation at this luxurious beachfront house NOW before your week is gone!

BEACHFRONT HOUSE WITH PRIVATE POOL, BIG SCREEN WALL PLASMA TV, WiFi AND FREE UNLIMITED LONG DISTANCE CALLS TO ANYWHERE IN THE US AND CANADA!! PANORAMIC GULF VIEWS. LINENS PROVIDED - NO CHARGE! SMALL PETS ALLOWED. LOWEST PRICE ON THE COAST FOR WHAT WE'RE OFFERING.

Our tastefully decorated - very "beachy" to the last detail, - open concept beach house with original art work is smoke-free and one-of-a-kind. Ours is the only beach house in Surfside or anywhere on the Texas coast to offer a private pool with optional heating. And, this is one of the very few beachfont houses in the area to offer a large screen wall plasma television, WiFi, free long distance calls, new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, all linens included (this saves you $140 over other rentals), and televisions in every room! Rain shower head in the nautically detailed bathroom for that luxurious five star feeling. This is an ultra-luxe house!

NO ONE, BUT NO ONE, OFFERS THE AMENITIES OF THIS BEACH HOUSE AT OUR PRICES MAKING IT THE BEST VALUE ANYWHERE NEAR HOUSTON. NO ONE CAN OFFER BETTER AMENITIES OR PRICE ON THE GULF. AVOID THE "GIRLS GONE WILD" AND OTHER PARTIES COMMON TO GALVESTON. SURFSIDE BEACH IS FOR FAMILIES.

But wait - there's more. We call our house "Island Time," because that is where time slows down to increments of pleasure and relaxation. You sense that the moment you walk through the door into another world of sheer comfort. All the cares and worries of your every day busy life are left behind.

And wait until you walk into the romantic master bedroom. The pizzaz of the red accents are tempered by the King bed's romantic quilt, tons of feather pillows and dreamy mosquito net canopy. This bedroom is away from the others and looks out over the rolling surf. When you're not renewing your relationship or listening to the soothing sounds of the gentle surf, there's a 27 inch television in the room for your viewing pleasure.

When morning arrives and the rest of your party sleeps comfortably in the back bedrooms, there's no need to miss your morning Starbucks. An expresso machine and complimentary Starbucks coffee (our appreciation gift to you) awaits in the kitchen. This will be a Starbucks like no other enjoyed either at the glass topped cafe table on the deck overlooking the pool or strolling along the beach.

There is a charcoal BBQ and half bath and outdoor shower to rinse off that beach sand downstairs. From this area you may view sunsets over the IntraCoastal and sport fishing boats headed out to some of the best fishing on the Texas coast. The fishing charter boats nearest Houston are located here where deep water fishing is a short distance away along with the best dive spot of the Texas coast.

The Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary is located only about 35 miles offshore. The Flower Garden Banks harbor the northernmost coral reefs in the United States. The rare/endangered species best known to the sanctuary are the loggerhead sea turtles, the leatherback sea turtles, and the hawksbill sea turtles.

Surfside Beach is the place to go to get away from it all. This small, quaint beach community has convenience stores, a surf shop, and local non-chain restaurants with great home cooked food and small town prices. The Red Snapper Inn features home cooked entrees and some of the best gumbo this side of New Orleans (featured in Texas Monthly Magazine for its great gumbo!).

Attractions/nightlife like the Strand and Moody Gardens are close on nearby Galveston Island.

  • Dear Merilou, our time in your lovely Surfside home was a true joy. You have been more than kind and accomodating. We've had a trying time the last few months, and all that stress just left us and went out with the tide! Our friends were equally impressed. Watching the full moon rise over the Gulf makes you want to fall to your knees and lift up all your praises to our Father because all these wonders are created at his hands. Life willing, we will certainly look forward to the time when we can come back to this little ,peaceful piece of heaven. Thanks for all your encouragement and prayers. Grace and Troy Urbantke, and Pat and Paulette Binion.

  • A unique special retreat right on the beach for grandma, grandpa, son, daughter-in-law and 3 grandchildren. Have been enjoying Surfside Beach since the 60's and it has never been any better than this. Wonderful home set up perfectly with everything we needed to make it a trip full of grand memories and just steps to the beach which is kept extremely clean by the Village of Surfside. Fishing, crabbing surfing, kite flying, it's all right there and within a mile of top-notch restaurants, surf shops, fresh seafood markets and local grocery stores. We all soaked daily in the homes lighted pool just outside the front door and sipped our ice cold drinks while hoping this vacation would never end. Who needs Galveston, Surfside and this home has it all and the locals are the best. Thanks guys, hope to be back soon.

  • Wow! My family and I stayed for a week and it was the best... The pool is an amazing thing to have for the kids as well as adults we spent 3 to 4 hours a day in the pool alone! It's incredible how many ammenities this beach house has! The only thing I would suggest is to add a recliner in the TV room for guys that have a bad back such as myself.. Blessings

  • This is a great beach house. We had a wonderful time here. The kids loved it too. I really enjoyed the feel of Surfside. Unlike Galveston it didn't feel so "touristy". The house is perfect and has everything you need to have a relaxing time on the beach. Just bring your clothes and food - everything else is provided.

  • What a great beach front house this is! This house offers what we couldn't find anywhere else in Surfside - plasma TV, wireless internet, free calls anywhere. That and it is newly painted with all new lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. This place is the bomb (as described by my kids). Thanks!
