Surfside Beach House! 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, Sleeps 8+

TanyaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was super convenient, just a very short walk to the beach. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The breeze on the front porch was very nice. There is much more space behind the house than with most beach houses so you don't feel cramped. We did need assistance with the AC while we were there. Jaz reached out to his handyman and everything was taken care of very quickly. You'll enjoy the nice AC 👍. Be sure to follow the checkin instructions which are sent to you right at checkin time as they are more updated than what's listed in the "How to get in" section in the app. We'll definitely select this beach house again if we're in the area and need a 3 bedroom!

Blue Water Waves

SydneyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We celebrated my daughter’s birthday which was also memorial weekend. The location was close to the beach and very easy to access the beach, which came in handy since memorial weekend is a very busy around this time. The host was very easy to get ahold of! The house looked just like the pictures.

Beach House Paradise

CareyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Susy was an amazing host! I’ve been coming to Surfside since I was a kid and now I am bringing my own family so we have stayed in several different houses over the years and this was the best one yet. She had extra bathroom amenities in case we needed them, we were offered a wagon to use at the beach and sand toys. And there were plenty of towels which is a must for a beach vacation! The house itself was just beautiful and had a wonderful view of the beach. We ran into some trouble the first night and Susy was immediately answering us and getting everything resolved. Great house, great host, we can’t wait to be back next summer!

Cold Pass Cottage - 3BR, Hot Tub, Beach Views

LisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Cold Pass Cottage was beautiful. We felt right at home. The house is so insulated when you shut the door you don’t hear anything, very peaceful. The house is fully stocked. You just need to bring food and the things you normally take on vacation. We will definitely come again. Thank You Erik and Laura for sharing your lovely home with us.

Beach View steps away from beach

EddieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great clean and welcoming place. Enjoyed the view of the water right out of the living room while watching tv and playing board games. The rooms were very clean with great decor and the kitchen had all the utensils I like to use for cooking. Location was perfect to be close to the beach entrance and gas station but was private and quiet. Ben is an amazing friendly host and he was always responsive to my questions. I will definitely be coming back!

No Worries Beach House

HaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were so disappointed to have to leave after only 3 hours when our son got sick. However, we can't say enough good things about the hosts – they were truly supportive and quick to answer any questions. The place itself is great: spacious, clean, and perfectly situated near the beach for kids to play and for parents to fish. We definitely plan to return when our son is well and highly recommend this rental and its hosts.

30 Seconds to the Sand! Private Beach Crossover!

TeriRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The purple pelican is a perfect vacation getaway. Felt right at home the moment we walked in the door. Everything we needed for our stay was there: cooler, beach chairs and of course beach toys and kick boards for kids. Stephanie is a fabulous host. We needed to check out later and she made that happen for us so we could enjoy our last day a little longer. Thank you Stephanie!

Beautiful Beachfront Home - Whitecaps Beach House!

TaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay! This end of the beach is a bit more spaced out than in surfside and we felt so comfortable in the house - right on the beach, made it so easy with the kiddos to go back and forth a zillion times.

ocean VIEWs + 4min to beach + modern updated home

JoanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Heather’s place has a great ocean view from the deck. The kitchen was spotless and stocked with all the equipment you would need to prepare family meals. We really appreciated the Folgers coffee and the ice cream sprinkles. The beds were super comfy. There were lots of children’s books. There is a nice utility room off the kitchen with a washer and dryer and some extra storage space. The layout is perfect for a family with several children.

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.
