Welcome to the Surfsonian, our beautiful beach house steps away from the water. The peaceful and relaxing setting offers second row ocean views and sounds. Newly updated with lots of character. The deck is ready for you to sit and watch the waves or walk 30 seconds to reach the water. You'll love relaxing in this space inside and out. The super chill Village of Surfside is conveniently located 1 hour from downtown Houston and 15 minutes from Lake Jackson.

The property sits on the second row of houses from the water. The deck offers great views of the waves.
Inside the Kitchen and Living area flows together, offering a place for everyone to hang out and relax. The Master bedroom has a king bed & a Roku TV with private access to shared full bath. The second bedroom has a king bed and Roku TV as well. The third bedroom has two twin bunkbeds - sleeping 4. The fourth bedroom has a queen bed as well as a twin bunk on top of a futon that lays down into a full bed. The twin bunk on top is a bit of a tight squeeze. So that's for the guest who likes to climb.

The house has a whole house iSpring water filter as well as a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen for drinking water. The reverse osmosis system is the water source for the refrigerator water and ice maker.

This beach house was built in 1970 and has seen a lot of beautiful beach days and weathered many storms. After we bought the house in March of 2022, we took the structure down to the studs to completely replace the electrical and plumbing. We did our best to update the space appropriately while preserving the old wood surfaces including the rustic hardwood floors, because it reminded us of our favorite vacation cabin in Lake Tahoe. To us - it's the perfect blend of rustic and new.

Surfside Beach Access is 0.7 miles away. Surfside Jetty County Park is 0.5 miles.
The seawall is directly in front of the house.

Since the house is in the wonderful state of Texas, mosquitos are, unfortunately, a thing we have to deal with on the island. Although it is out of our control, we have taken action by spraying our yard with nontoxic repellent. We also provide personal spray and outdoor area fogger for your use. Those are also nontoxic.

NO SMOKING: Absolutely no smoking allowed.

DOG FRIENDLY with a fee:
Dogs are not allowed on the furniture. If your pet is left unattended, it needs to be in a kennel indoors. There is a large dog kennel under the master bedroom bed.

Only 2 dogs permitted.

REGISTERED GUESTS: Only guests presented on booking may stay at the property.

    House is at a great location where you have an ocean view from the balcony all the time. I would recommend a few changes; place is listed for 14 people but there is only a sofa in the living room so not enough seating arrangement for 14 people. Also outside area downstairs needs some work; Lights were not working and there were no sitting area for family to sit outside at night and enjoy the sea breeze. In any case we did enjoy our stay but the experience can be even better with above mentioned items.

    Our family enjoyed our stay in this house. It was really clean, kitchen had the utensils, pots, pans etc that one would need. There were even utensils kids can use. We also appreciated the whole house water softener and the reverse osmosis system in the kitchen sink. Would love to request a larger and sturdier cutting board. Also, we used the grill our second day there but only 1 burner was working. Nonetheless, it was still a really great place to stay and just a short walk to the beach.

    This house was super cozy. Not too big but big enough to comfortably house 11 people. It was perfect for myself and my family. Close to just about anything you may need during your stay. Our hosts were very accommodating with everything. Answered promo to all of my messages. Will more than likely be staying here again in the future!

    We rented this great house for a last minute mini-family getaway during Spring Break. Newly renovated and wonderfully decorated, we had everything we needed for my family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids, ages 14, 11, 5 and 2), including beach toys and towels, a pack n play and booster seat for my 2-year old, and even plenty of bathroom products as well cleaning products for the kitchen and washer/dryer downstairs. I slept great in the king primary bedroom - the mattress is a dream! The middle kids loved the bunk room. And my oldest loved being able to have her own space downstairs. Communication with the owner was great and it was lovely to read about the history of the house. Surfside is a low-key beach destination without all that commercialization of other beach towns and so convenient to Houston. Its not a far drive from the rental house to the free beach and I would recommend doing that to get away from any crowds on the paid beach. Would definitely recommend this house for anyone wanting to stay here!

    From the moment we walked in the door - we loved this beach house. The house was clean and exactly what we were looking for. They have items placed thru out the home with children in mind. We loved walking to the water and also relaxing in the beach house watching movies and playing card games. Amazing beach house and we will absolutely rent again!!
