Freeport, Texas
The Enchanted Shell is an OCEAN FRONT property located in Middle Beach of beautiful Surfside Texas, providing a comfortable and soothing holiday for either an adult get away or a family oriented vacation.
You can choose to relax on the beach and enjoy a cocktail, swim in the beautiful gulf ocean or watch the best sunset on the gulf coast.
You'll find awesome surf fishing, beach combing, shelling, and swimming. If you prefer to just relax, grab a lounge chair and kick back on the beach.
Use the provided hammock, swing chairs, and custom adironack chairs to relax with your choice of a get-away book on the over-sized deck (800 Sq. ft), or just watch the incoming/outgoing ships through the jetty.
Off the deck is the newly renovated private boardwalk for easy access to the beach and a nice stroll at dusk.
Everything to make your vacation memorable is waiting for you!
The charcoal grill (on the deck) will ensure you don't miss any of the views while cooking for your family and serving on the large picnic table (seats 8).
The key may not be in the conch shell.... but you can come on in! Swing open the deck gates and get a view of the end of the world.

Had everything we needed plus more!
There are a few minor things that need immediate attention. The main bathroom tub drains very slowly. In a 5 minute shower it was at the top of my ankles. The sink in the main bathroom trickles when you turn it on, even with hot and cold water on at the same time. There is one board on tue back deck that needs to he screwed down. It is right in front of the gate and is a trip hazard. The house could use several updates but I live in an old house so it reqlly didn't bother me, for some it might. I look at it like this, I eat and sleep in the house thats about it. I am there for the heach. The access to the beach is very easy and convenient. The owner communicated well and was even pretty relaxed on us checking in a little early as we arrived a little ahead of schedule. As far as the cleanliness of the house I will say that it could use a good deep cleaning. The things you expect to be clean were but all of the out of the way areas were dusty and looked like the cleaning crew just never touches. Overall we were happy witu our stay though.
The house has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing time on a nice, clean beach. Close to good restaurants, but easy to cook your own meals. Plenty of comfy beds. Games and books for indoor fun. Great big covered porch looking out to the ocean!
Great location. Owner was easily accessible. The house needs a little TLC.
This house was perfect for my family. We had a wonderful stayed. Had everything we needed. And the beach view was beautiful! Easy access to and from the beach. We will definitely be renting again in the future.
We were very disappointed in the house, considering what we paid to stay. It was a little unsettling to pull up and see a support beam with a major crack in it being held together by a 1x4. The master shower floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile, the back door handle is rusting and it cut my hand as well as my husband's. There are rusty nails sticking up out of the deck that we had to hammer down so no one else got cut. The margarita machine had mold growing in it, and most of the utensils in the drawers were dirty. As well as pans that were under the stove. One of the stove burners doesn't work, the coffee pot was caked in burnt grounds and I had to hand wash dishes the whole time because the dishwasher is in bad shape. When we got there the key box was wide open. Anyone could have been waiting for us inside. I did learn upon leaving that it is impossible to close all the way. The pictures/listing of the this house need a major update. I did get a small refund but only after the owner suggested I not say anything on social media.
It wasn't as clean as it should have been. Coffeepot was very nasty we had to go buy one. And we saw a mouse ro a rat
We loved our time at this house. It was easy and relaxing. I recommend this house for your trip. Our kids had a great time !
It was an amazing experience staying here and the view was to die for and it was beautiful waking up to beautiful beach views!
This was the perfect spot for our family to get together. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing time at the beach.
Great property and location. Unobstructed view and access to the beach. House was perfect for us.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was well-equipping and comfortable and the view can’t be beat. Would definitely stay there again.
This house has the most beautiful view, absolutely loved the Deck and how close the Beach is!! We were able to leave our tents up with no issues.The owner was very easy to contact and treated us great!! Can't wait to come back
The house was charming and comfortable. The patio was awesome. We enjoyed every minute of it. We will be back
This cabin was perfect for our family You can't ask for a better view. The walkover and water faucet along the walkway made going back and forth to the shore easy. The owners are making improvements, but truly it has everything you need to have a wonderful time. Lots of towels, washer/dryer, comfy beds, bunks for the kids, it had everything we needed. HEB is just a 20 min drive away and there are great restaurants along the way. The owner was easy to connect and communicate with during our stay. With some more TLC, this will be a true gem. In the meantime, it provided lifelong memories for our family just like it is.
Property was not well kept. gate on porch was rusted and falling off. we waited an hour to get into the property due to front door sticking and unable to open. Lots of weeds around property. We could not sit on the porch at night, although we took repellant we were eaten alive.
The property was perfectly located on the beach. We enjoyed waking up each morning and being able to see the ocean. Overall, the trip was good. There were a few issues with the home. The lock box on the door for the key was extremely difficult to open. It takes several minutes to finally get the box open so that we could get in the door. Inside the home was clean, but there were several broken items in the home. The inside of the dishwasher was rusted and unsafe to use. The knob in the guest shower was broke and I cut my finger on it trying to turn the shower on. Other items like the blinds, light cover, and gate to deck were also broken. The home is in need of some minor repairs to so that it can be safe for all guests.
This property could be nice and probably once was but it has been neglected. It needs a lot of work on the outside and the inside. The grass was not mowed like the properties on either side which made the mosquitoes horrible. I feel like with the amount of money we paid it could have been a lot nicer.
We love this house in his State many times, it has a great view of the beach and the best deck you could possibly ask for. Great hp from Kent and just all around wonderful time!
the best view, beautiful house. It is the second year that I visit this property, the view of the beach is lovely. to spend a good family weekend. I recommend it.
Absolutely enjoyed our stay here during Easter 2022. It is an older building, but the view is spectacular. Everyone around us was friendly and laid back. Highly recommended if you are ready to be relaxed.
