Beachfront! Only Pool in Deck on Tx Coast! Plasma TV, Wifi
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
BEACHFRONT HOUSE WITH PRIVATE POOL, BIG SCREEN WALL PLASMA TV, PANORAMIC GULF VIEWS, WiFi. LINENS PROVIDED - NO CHARGE! SMALL PETS ALLOWED. LOWEST PRICE ON THE BEACH 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 beachfront houses in the area to offer a large screen wall plasma television, new stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, 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 nautical quilt, tons of 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 awaits in the kitchen. This will be a morning coffee 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.

Overall we were dissatisfied with our stay at the rental. We had prepaid for 2 months. It's general condition was dirty. The carpets were dirty and the master bathroom leaked, which led to underneath the sink being moldy. The swimming pool was inoperable. The best feature was the property manager was accommodating. We would not book this property again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This was a great rental...photos were accurate with the exception of the pool, as was description. Property is located 1st row on beach which made it very convenient for short periods on the beach with toddlers. The descrioption of the pool was a little misleading - it is located on the deck upstairs which was convenient, but it only measures about 6 x 10 ft. and was about 31/2 or 4 ft deep (very small), but it worked well for us since the toddlers were the only ones who used it and they absolutely loved it! Kitchen was well stocked as were the towels...refridgerator needs a new seal around door (if you did not consciously push door closed, items in fridge were not kept cold) and the dishwasher needs new racks (we did not use it at all due to rust covering all of the racks) but otherwise this is a well maintained property. Would have liked rental period to include a "weekend" rather than check-in on Sun. at 4pm and checkout Sat. 11am so that family that lives close could have visited for brief period, but overall ....We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rent here again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.

The property description of all new stainless steel appliances was incorrect. The dishwasher was badly corroded inside, the refrigerator handle was missing, both pull out drawers were broken plus it wouldn't seal at the bottom. It took almost 6 hours to reduce the temperature in the home to a reasonable level and the back bedrooms were always warm. The bunkbeds didn't have any rails at the top. The baby crib was totally unsuitable for a small baby because this type is no longer allowed to be sold or used other than in a personal home. The shower door wouldn't close completely and the dvd didn't work. The rug was dirty. The pool was a nice feature. Over all the house was very small but the listing made it sound like it was bigger. When I asked about the baby crib the owner chose to not respond to my question. I still haven't heard about the deposit.Recommended for: Sightseeing.

we had a wonderful time at the beach in this clean, well-appointed home. Having the pool to cool off in after a day on the beach was great. The house was clean and well-kept, although the couch in the living room was very uncomfortable to sit in. Otherwise, the place was quite nice.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.

This property was just as described. We did have maintenance problems during our stay and that is the only reason why I marked it as average. However, the owner did send over help during each maintenance issue. And after the fact, she eventually offered a refund on part of our stay. If everything was in working order, I am sure this property would have been an absolute delight. The only thing to mention is that the pool is small and shallow. It was perfect for our boys (minus the heat going out in March) who are 4 and 6 years old. The property was also clean.Recommended for: Families with young children.

Truly loved this home, had a personal feel unlike others we have rented before. The kids loved the pool, had enough space for our group to have alone time with their families and the view was awesome. Everything was in working condition and loved that there were towels and linens already there. Blessings to the Barnekow's, what a pleasure to rent from you!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

This is a great beach house. We all had a wonderful time. The kids loved the pool. The house was very clean and we had plenty of space. The only thing you might do is upgrade you pots and pans they are in poor condition, also a large salad bowl would be great. Hope to stay there again.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.

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.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 4/6

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: We purchased this delightful house as our retirement home. My husband and I are boaters and love the water. We worked hard to make this beach house perfect for guests, and are very particular (as past guests can tell you) about keeping the house clean, comfortable, and in perfect repair. We want people to leave happy memories to fill the house when we finally get to live there full time. Thanks to all past guests who have done just that!
Why the Owner Chose Surfside Beach:
Compared to Galveston, Surfside Beach is a quiet, small town with a sense of community more suitable for families. It is closer to Houston; the beach is cleaner; it is much better for fishing and boating; and museums, shopping malls, movie theaters and great restaurants are of closer proximity to the town than most of Galveston Island.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
This beach house has the only know in-deck pool from the Mexican border to Dauphin Island, Alabama. Pool heating, although optional, is available. It is located in a small subdivision on one of the nicer stretches of middle beach.
