BeachAccessRd*HotTub*PetFriendly*

LyAnnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Wow! What a peaceful retreat for a quiet family weekend. Becky’s place is ultra clean, new, modern and perfectly appointed with every amenity you and your family need for a fantastic vacation. Everything was sparkling clean, new and no clutter. Soaring ceilings, tons of storage and room for the entire family. We were so comfortable and happy! Full sized washer and dryer, coffee options, and super comfy beds made our stay one to remember. We loved Tia Juanita’s down the street for crawfish & shrimp salads and sunset at Stingaree Marina is worth chasing. We would absolutely love to come back and do this again. Our hosts were friendly and kind, helpful and responsive. Over and above customer service - what a refreshing experience for these world weary travelers! Thank you!!

L&L Vacation Rental

KattieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This Airbnb was perfect for my family and I. Check in was easy, the home was clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor spaces (both front porch and backyard) were so nice. The location is walking distance to the beach and Seawall. The baseball field across the street was a nice surprise. The only downside is that the house is on a very busy street. We had little ones, with us and so we weren’t able to enjoy the front porch because of the many cars driving by and the fear of them running out into the road. It Would have been perfect if it had a fence. It should be mentioned that There are two dogs that live in the house next door. Seem to be outdoor dogs. Nice dogs, but they did bark whenever we went out onto the front porch. Overall we had a great stay and would stay again.

Getaway to 3 min walk to beach! 3 bed Sleeps 12

KennethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The reason for the slow response from Mary was because she was out of the country. When she had the opportunity, she took care of any problem we had. At first, we had trouble with the locks until we figured them out. For the most part, the place we stayed at was detailed for comfort. It was extremely pleasant and inviting and we would love to stay there again. No doubt if she was not out of the country and we had trouble then I'm sure she would have been on the spot to resolve any issue that would come up.

Beachfront! New Home. Sleeps 10 Pet friendly

FrancineRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We came to stay here for our anniversary over the chilly valentine weekend. We enjoyed a fire right outside the house with our dog the first night, my fiance fished the next day while I collected seashells and did yoga on the beach. We ate at JayLa's Bar and their burgers were great! Overall, this weekend was absolutely peaceful and full of love. From listening to the waves crash in from both porches to the peace & quiet wrapped in their cozy warm blankets (and minimal light pollution)- this was everything we were needing to fill our cups. I loved how their guest room had accommodations for families with littles- like books & bed pad The only con was.... We couldn't stay longer. We look forward to coming back and enjoying this home. PS... If you've got a senior dog-the stairs up are a bit hard for them. There is a platform halfway for a little break between the stairs- but our 11 yr old german shepherd didn't let her keep from enjoying the her favorite place to visit.

Cozy beach house with gulf views and salty air.

CaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
House location was on a quiet, private street, great access to the beach, and clear views to ocean! We had a WONDERFUL stay! Fenced in yard was great for our dog! The house is tastefully decorated, clutter free, and felt very open and spacious. Kitchen was nicely stocked for all of your needs. Huge fridge/freezer, perfect for storing all of our beach drinks/ice packs. 20-30 minute drive to go up the island for main attractions and lots of restaurants, but that meant our location on the island was very peaceful and quiet! The drive up the island was beautiful, alongside the coast. Dollar General nearby met any immediate needs: coffee, ice, etc. We had a lovely stay, and would not hesitate to go back!

So close 2 waves! Direct ocean view on multi decks

JulieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a beautiful beach house! This place was perfect for some R&R. It is walking distance to the beach, so it was easy to just take my beach bag down to get some sun whenever I felt like it. I also enjoyed the large back patio with different seating options and a view of the beach for some extra outdoor time with the pups (the patio is fenced in so they could roam). Beds were super comfortable and decor was cute. The kitchen and pantry had everything I needed and the Big Store was close for my grocery trip. I hope to go back real soon!

Fully Accessible 1 Story Gated Home 5B3B Huge Yard

JoscelynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an incredible stay at this spacious Airbnb while in the area for our son’s wedding! Our host was exceptionally gracious, accommodating an early check-in, allowing us to freshen up and get ready for the reception dinner, which was a game-changer for our group. The house and yard were absolutely huge, impeccably clean, and perfectly laid out for a large family gathering. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, making it an ideal space for our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to come together, and we highly recommend this fantastic home to others!

Your guide to Surfside Beach

All About Surfside Beach

Easygoing Surfside Beach is the kind of place where crowds are discussed in the hundreds, not the thousands, and loyal vacationers return annually. The village itself is an unfussy cluster of pastel-colored stilt houses with wide decks, seafood shacks and biker bars with ocean views, and nautical-themed shops for souvenirs and bait.

There’s plenty to do in Surfside, whether it’s fishing along the jetty, birdwatching, or visiting the waterpark. But with four miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, the beach is the main attraction here. The section east of Highway 332 is a drive-on beach, so you can cruise along to find your perfect stretch of sand (provided you’ve purchased the annual pass at a local supermarket). Then spread out and sip a frozen blended drink while watching the sailboats and oil tankers float by.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Surfside Beach

Expect sunny days no matter what time of year you visit Surfside Beach. July and August tend to be the hottest months, with temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters are nice and mild, with temperatures in the mid- to high 60s, and lows around 50 degrees. You may experience an isolated thunderstorm or a day of scattered showers anytime throughout the year, but beach weather usually returns quickly after the rain. Late summer through fall does bring a risk of hurricanes, so be sure to check the forecast.


Top things to do in Surfside Beach

Surfside Jetty County Park

Surfside Jetty County Park sits at the southern tip of the village and features beach access, a playground, and the 0.6-mile-long jetty for which it’s named. It’s a great place for a stroll, or you can bring your fishing tackle and join the local anglers on the rocks. If you prefer crustaceans, consider heading to the Crabbing Pier near Stahlman Park, north of town.

Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge

Just 30 minutes north of Surfside, the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge contains more than 44,000 acres of salt and freshwater marshes, ponds, mudflats, and coastal prairies. Sitting under the Central Flyway, it is home to some 300 species of birds for all or part of the year. Wander the boardwalks in search of herons, roseate spoonbills, sandhill cranes, snow geese, and possibly even an alligator or two! In town, the Surfside Beach Bird and Butterfly Trail attracts all sorts of native and migratory animals. Just don’t forget to pack your binoculars.

Surfing

As its name suggests, Surfside Beach is known as one of the most consistent surf spots on the Texas coast. The waves are best in the winter, but storms in the Gulf of Mexico can produce big swells during hurricane season. Paddle out from the shoreline near Texas Street, or head to one of the rental shops around town and ask about lessons. Surfside is also a great spot for windsurfing and kayaking, too, depending on the conditions.
