Surfside Beach, Texas
This beach house has been in our famiy since the early 1970's, as children we spent almost every weekend and Summer here. We would comb the beach for shells and hermit crabs which is how the name "Beachcomber" was born.
We occasionally rent our home to share it with other beach lovers and try to keep our prices affordable and your expectations realistic so that everyone is on the same page.
This is not a new or fancy home - heating is provided by space heater and A/C is provided by window units. We provide excellent hi-speed internet and a designated office type area in case you have to check in with your office occasionally.
We provide linens on the beds and a few bath towels but beach towels and extra bath towels are not included. We start you out with one roll of paper towels and tp, 3 trash bags, and some hand towels for the kitchen. You are welcome to use any additonal items in the house or leave extra that you brought with you for other guests to use.
We just ask that you respect our home and keep it clean so that we can continue to share our home with you and others.
We are in the perfect location because on one end of our street is the beach and at the other end is Kitty's Purple Cow. (We are in the middle of the block/street) We have a nice breeze and view of the ocean from our huge covered outside deck and the beach is only half a block (maybe 100 yards) away. It's a super close walk.
Our home can sleep four people and is great fit for a 2 person getaway weekend, grandparents taking their grand baby on a special trip to the beach, or small families with only one or two children. There is only one "bedroom" that is enclosed with a door, the other sleeping area in the open part of the house that has a privacy curtain so guests can change or privacy to sleep. Washer dryer combo is super small - we put it in for the long term renters that stay in the winter but you can only use for a few items at a time.
Sorry but we do not rent to anyone under 25 years old, are not available for proms, and/or any parties. As we said earlier - this is actually our vacation home that we use and enjoy. We don't want our neighbors disturbed so please keep noise in the evening to a minimum. We love to share our home with others, have met so many wonderful people, and made long lasting friendships with many of you.
If you are looking for a small, comfortable, & affordable get away - we might be just what you're looking for.
Host responded quickly once booking was completed on the VRBO website. The check-in instructions were easy to follow and the property was very clean and exactly as pictured in the listing! Will definitely book this property again in the future! Thanks for a great weekend on the beach!
Everything described in the listing is accurate; walking to the beach was just down the street. I enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves crash. The owners thought of everything that would be needed, including drinkable water. I will be back!
The property was lovely. The amenities covered all our needs. Our host was more than a super host. For our future stays, we will only contact Abbey. Thank you so much for the best time.
The house looked great in the pictures and when I walked in I was happily impressed with it! I discovered an issue with the shower (minor but required attention as it could have caused damage to her property) as I walked through to inspect. Abbey, the owner, responded immediately to my text with an apology, saying it would be corrected the next morning, as well as offering to upgrade us to her other place next door. Both homes were in excellent condition, clean, fully supplied and absolutely comfortable in all ways. The location was exactly what I was looking for, driving access to the beach and a restaurant within a couple minutes walk! I will keep this place saved in my favorites for sure.
Great proximity to the beach and 3 restaurants! The house was nice and clean. View from deck was nice. We really enjoyed our stay although the weather wasn’t too cooperative. Information wasn’t updated about check in and keys and I was panicking a bit. But neighbors came over and figured it out for us. Abbey was very nice to answer all my questions. I would stay here again if we come back to this area.
This place is nice. Owner is nice. Great location. Walking distance to beach and two restaurants. Ocean view from the patio. Few minutes to the crabbing pier. We had a great time!!!
This is a great little property !! It was perfect size and clean !! Super close to the beach and restaurants!! Not fancy but clean and nice !! Abbey was wonderful to work with and always available for all our needs !!!
Amazing beach home perfect for a weekend get away. The owners are very hospitable and made our stay there even more amazing. We will be visiting in the future! :)
My wife and I stayed there with our 2 grandsons. This cabin was perfect for our needs. The property was exactly as described by the owners. The owners are gracious and very kind. We had a personal issue and they went above and beyond to assist us and afford us the opportunity for a wonderful vacation. I loved sitting on the deck in the early morning with a cup of coffee while quietly watching the surf and sun rise. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I had no reservations about leaving our gear unattended in the driveway. We have recommended this property to friends and will certainly return for our next gulf visit.
We really had a very good time, the house was very clean, is a very small house but big enough for us, kids enjoyed it, we are planning on coming back next year, thank you.
