About this property

Guests can entertain family and relax in and out with 3 bedroom 3 bath home with 4 decks, which all have views of the ocean and bay. The home will provide accommodations for 10 and provides a kitchen which is stocked with all the utensils and cookware to satisfy the chef in you. There is also a gas bbq with provided propane. The living room and dining table has plenty of seating to eat, play games or work on a puzzle. There’s patio seating underneath the home as well as an outdoor shower (hot and cold water) to be enjoyed after a day playing at the beach.

Each queen and full bed have memory foam mattress covers on them. High speed WiFi, portable blue tooth speaker, DVDs, family games and puzzles to maximize family time.

Packing everything you need for the beach takes a lot of room. So we keep beach chairs and a wagon for your use. Even a shovel to help you dig a hole for a bonfire.

All bedrooms are on the second floor and there is also a 3/4 bath on the main floor. Enjoy ocean views from both master bedrooms.

Easy check in/out. Guests will receive an unique code that will be active throughout their stay. No rusty lock box to tackle.

Weekly/monthly discounts available.

Surfside is a quiet village a little over an hour away from Houston. This one traffic light town has beach front dining, a couple convenient stores along with food trucks on the weekends. There is great surf fishing and a crabbing pier to be enjoyed. Walk along the beach or jetty and watch dolphins and turtles swim by.

Tip Sea Turtle isn’t just a rental property but our dream vacation home. We have and will continue to add to the comforts for our family and yours to enjoy time together. We truly hope your family will enjoy your vacation here as much as our family does.

Dream Beach Getaway with Exceptional Hospitality!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beach house! The location couldn't be better, just a short walk from the beach, which was perfect for us. The house itself was a dream for anyone who loves to cook, equipped with everything you could possibly need. It's clear that the host has paid attention to the smallest details and thoughtful touches, making our stay even more special. Additionally, the owner truly went above and beyond. I had left behind one of my toddler’s items, and he kindly sent it to us immediately at no extra charge. We're so grateful for such wonderful hospitality and are definitely planning to return!

Long Weekend Getaway

This is our first stay at the TipSea Turtle, it was amazing, colorful and very easy access to the beach. The view of the beach on both patios (front and back) were so beautiful and relaxing while watching the sunset in the evening and enjoying my coffee in the morning. The TipSea Turtle decor is very inviting, bright, colorful and very well stocked with everything necessary for a stay away from home. The owners were so accommodating and responsive. We cannot wait to go back for another visit!

Great family get away

This house was just steps away from the beach. It was secure and a nice home. I was happy they let me include the furry member of my family. There are plenty of decks with nice views, and we really enjoyed the swings outside. We washed off in the downstairs shower and then would swing until we were dry enough to go inside without dripping.

About the host

Hosted by Kale Jeffery

Our family has always enjoyed traveling and spending time together. As our children have grown older and times get busier we wanted a place close by that we could escape to and relax. The water views and relaxing ocean sounds make this the ideal place.

Why they chose this property

Surfside Beach is a beautiful little town perfectly arranged for a family vacation. Our property is perfectly situated 50 yards from the beach and an easy stroll to restaurants or stores. Watch the sunrise from the front decks with coffee in hand or sunsets off the back decks toasting with your favorite drink.
