This adorable seaside cottage sleeps up to 6 comfortably in the 'Best Gulf Beach Town as rated by Gulf Shores Magazine. Fish N' Ships sits in the pedestrian beach area. Located on a corner lot near the jetty, just a short walk down the beach. The front of the house is lined with windows to let in plenty of natural light and spacious views. Open concept living area with lovely beach decor throughout the home.

Surfside is paradise for those with many interests offering some of the bestsurfing and birding in Texas. With its unique octagonal design, this beach house offers amazing 360 degree views. The aptly named, Fish-n-Ships features a large deck to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and views of the beach, along with the Texas Ship Channel where ships arrive from all over the world and the fishing is world class! Next door is a play park, volleyball courts and a splash pad.

Discover a variety of activities nearby since you are steps away from one of the best surfing breaks on the Gulf Coast and ample beach to set out your sun chairs. Head to the jetty to watch the fun from the granite surf bench, look for dolphins dancing in the waves, or grab your fishing tackle to cast your luck for the prized trout or bull red. Try crabbing at the nearby crabbing pier. No luck No worries! Surfside has several eateries to enjoy fresh food for lunch or dinner.

A few blocks north is the site of the first battle of the Texas Revolution where you can see a replica of historic Fort Velasco. Stop along your walks in the beautiful Butterfly Park and Nature Preserve or relax in this quiet sanctuary, and even enjoy a spectacular Texas Sunset. Better yet head back to the house and fire up the outdoor grill and enjoy some of the best sunset views in all of Surfside right off your back porch!

Relax after a fun-filled day by watching a movie with the family or sitting out in the fresh air to star gaze the southern skies. Plan for some early morning birding in the hopes of spotting numerous local favorites such as the Roseate Spoonbill, the Snow Egret, and the great Blue Heron before you drift off to sleep with the ocean waves gently crashing along the shore in the background.

Fish-n-Ships is a family favorite for guests from all over the world and a year-round great place to reside! Bed linens, bath towels, Wi-Fi and satellite television are all included with your stay. Bring your friends and family...you'll have no problem finding fun in the sun!

    So close to the beach ! Very nice to enjoy the sunrise :) very good and fast communication. Clean house. Just a little bit disappointed for the mattress. For the price we paid, we expected mattress more comfortable. We will come back but bring our one inflate mattress:)

    This is probably the best location to stay if you plan on fishing on the jetty, also with easy access to the beach. Great views from the deck.

    What an amazing, cute place that surpassed all of our expectations. We were super close to the beach and jetties, to the point that we only brought out what we immediately needed — we were able to be back at the house in seconds if we needed anything!We will be staying again!

    the location was great. beautiful views. there were some issues that could be easily resolved. We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom , we sprayed and left bug spray on top of refrigerator. The open sewer in front of the house really smelled bad and rats were crawling everywhere in the front yard around the open area. Here than those issues, we had a wonderful time.we gladly stay here again

    So we were initially disappointed with the property and they reached out to us immediately and I was very impressed that they let us transfer to the property next door and we stayed 3 nights instead of 7 nights. However we asked if we could have one night free and they did not want to compromise cause they gave us 400 off , even though the shower and sheets were not clean and the fridge was getting cold and that was the reason we transferred to the other property! They thought that they were doing us a big favor by not paying extra for the property next door!

    We had a great weekend stay. Easy to get access to the house. Proximity to the beach and jetties is great. Spent time on the beach, rode our bikes to Sharky’s to eat, and chilled on the porch watching surfers.

    The location was great. The house was cute and had everything we needed for our stay. There was a maintenance issues we discovered upon arrival, and property management sent someone over right away to fix the issue. We did not encounter any other issues during our stay. We had a really nice time.

    We went to Surfside primarily to fish by the jetty for 4 days.Although the weather was messed up a bit by hurricane Francine, most of the time we were able to walk to the jetty and fish.One of the single bed I slept on rocks side to side whenever I turn on the bed.Upon inspection under the bed something is definitely broken.They need to repair or replace it.Thats the only complaint we have for a quaint old beach house located ideally for fishing,surfing or just laze by the beach .All are just a minute or two walk from the cottage.Bring your own water cuz the tap water is yellowish and taste funny.Bring mosquitoes spray and repellent.Lots of them attacking us the moment we go outside.Hate them mosquitoes.Even with repellent they still attack you.Overall,we like the cottage but hope the owners will consider allowing pets so we can bring them in the future.

    1 minute walk to the beach and awesome views of the boats coming in and out. House was clean and had everything you needed. My only complaint is that the shower is super small. PSA: 1-Bring your own water to drink 2-Jetty Shack is down the street and have really good burgers
