Second row home with ocean and beach view from the front porch. Located in the popular, quiet subdivision of Swan Lake. Surfside Beach was voted "Best Gulf Coast Beach Town" by Gulfscapes Magazine. Beach is well maintained. House sleeps up to 12. We have 3 queen beds, 2 bunk beds, and a queen sofa sleeper. Fully equipped kitchen, granite countertop prep island, water cooler, and new GE appliances. Open kitchen and living area with all bedrooms quietly located in back portion of the house. Flat screen TV in living area with internet streaming services. 2 full baths with separate sink areas. Washer and dryer. All linens and towels provided, including beach towels. Charcoal grill located near bottom of stairs, and open space under house to hang out and enjoy the ocean sounds. Private, outdoor shower with hot water. Deck box full of beach toys. Sun deck along the front of the house, great for enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
Perfect location with the beach steps from the door. Beach location was much prettier than and less busy than Galveston area. Loved being able to travel into Galveston during the day and relax at night on Surfside Beach. Great home for a large family. Host was very accommodating to rescheduling our family when my husband was hospitalized the day of our original date.
This home was a great place for us to vacation! Quick walk to the beach, nice living space, and comfortable beds. We appreciated the 4 bedroom, 2 full bath layout.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Very nice ocean views. Short walk to the beach, which was convenient. Only draw back was the bed in the last bedroom. The queen size bed was broken down in the middle. When my husband got in we both rolled to the center of the bed. That bed needs to be replaced, very uncomfortable. Everyone else slept well on the other beds.
This was a great place and close to the beach
Absolutely perfect house for our family! Enjoyed every moment.
I had a good experience with Second Wind. The host addressed my questions and concerns in a prompt and professional manner. In my opinion, Second Wind provides excellent affordability and value as compared to other beach houses in the area.
Pros : Nice and close to the beach. Owners were very responsive and check in was simple. House is a nice setup, lots of room and plenty of beds and was pretty clean. Kitchen was nice, great counters and lots of gadgets and stuff (more about this in the cons) Cons : no real cleaning products (windex, chlorox wipes, vacuum) it made it hard to keep the property clean while we were there. Virtually all of the utensils and plates and bowls were a little dirty and had to be washed prior to using. It had like 4 coffee makers, but was missing some other useful items, like a skillet or crock pot. Other than the kitchen the house is pretty dated. Beach toys are old and brittle, but the kids spent hours using them, so they served their purpose. Mosquitoes are a serious problem, but that is going to be an issue anywhere in Surfside. We kept track and the average person had 25 bites....lol. Jelleyfush were abundant one day at the beach, and I got stung, which was not fun, but again not an issue with the house, just fyi. TV was very small, but we weren't there to watch tv. We all has fun and overall this was a good place to stay, but not great. A few minor changes could push it to the great level.
We loved our experience at Second Wind - check in was easy, the place was cute & easily fit our group of 12. It’s right by the beach. All linens and even beach towels were provided! 10/10
The house was clean and had most things you need in the kitchen to cook. Super close to the beach, check in was easy. The bathrooms are not huge and the rooms do not have room darkening curtains, be aware for kiddos. I was worried about the mattresses, but we slept okay. There were lots of beach toys for the kids to use and some books & toys inside. Overall a good find that fit our needs for a long weekend getaway.
Second Wind is an awesome home and so close to the beach we could walk back and forth, which was great for bathroom breaks and meals, without having to pack everything up! It is very well provisioned with anything you could possibly need. There were 6 adults, 5 little ones (ages 4-9) in our group and there was plenty room for us. We would love to stay there again some day. Ashley and Eric are awesome to work with and quickly responded to all questions and concerns before and during our stay.
