About the host
Hosted by Fade Away Vacations

Hi, and welcome to Dolphin on the Beach!
We’re a Texas-based family who fell in love with Surfside Beach years ago. After countless weekends spent building sandcastles, grilling under the stars, and watching dolphins from the deck, we decided to create a place where others could make those same unforgettable memories.
Dolphin on the Beach is more than just a rental — it’s our personal coastal retreat, lovingly updated to offer the comfort, ease, and charm we enjoy when we stay here ourselves. From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel right at home: whether you're watching the sunrise over the Gulf with your morning coffee or falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves.
We know how important vacations are — they’re about reconnecting with loved ones, relaxing in a beautiful setting, and having everything you need right where you need it. That’s why we’ve stocked the home with thoughtful amenities, from beach gear and board games to fast Wi-Fi and smart TVs. We welcome families, couples, remote workers, friend groups, and well-behaved pets!
As hosts, we’re dedicated to making your stay seamless and memorable. We’re always just a message away if you need local tips, help with the house, or even restaurant recommendations. Whether it’s your first time in Surfside or your tenth, we want this to feel like your home away from home.
Thank you for considering our beachfront getaway — we’d be honored to host your next coastal escape. 🌊
Warmly,
Your Dolphin Hosts 🐬
