About this property

Beachfront Surfside Home Gulf Views, Wraparound Decks, King + Bunks, Sleeps 12

  • Welcome to Bluewater Sandcastle on Surfside Beach! a true beachfront home built for two families to vacation together without being on top of each other. Built by former NASA engineers who built HAB units on the ISS. Very cool and unique features.
    With 4 bedrooms / 2 baths (sleeps 12), two living areas, and separate A/C units on each floor, you’ll get “together time” and real privacy.
    Beachfront + sweeping views from the home and decks
    Over 600 sq ft of outdoor decking (including a covered upper deck)
    Turn-key kitchen: guests repeatedly mention it’s fully stocked
    Two refrigerators/freezers (huge for big groups + long weekends)
    Easy access to the sand—even noted as helpful for limited mobility
    Layout (great for multi-family stays)
    Main level: Great Room + kitchen + bedrooms/bath + deck access
    Upper level: second living area + bedrooms/bath + balcony/deck (perfect for night owls)
    Sleeping setup (Sleeps 12)
    Bedroom 1: King
    Bedroom 2: Queen
    Bedroom 3: Double + Queen
    Bedroom 4: 4 twin bunks
    Outdoor living
    Fire up the grill, eat at the two picnic tables, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and park up to 6 vehicles under covered parking.
    Location: quick trips + local favorites
    You’re about 60 minutes from Houston and roughly 35 miles from Galveston for day trips like Moody Gardens and **The Strand Historic District.
    Nearby, guests love the quieter coast and fishing/outdoor options like Quintana Beach County Park and **Follett's Island Beach.
    Good to know (no surprises)
    Home is on well + septic with a whole-house softener + filtration. Many guests still prefer to bring drinking water (taste preference).
    No pets. No events. Minimum age to rent: 25.
    Beach access note: If storms ever impact the private walkover, access points are close by (we’ll message you with the most current route).

Beautiful Home

This is our second stay at this beautiful home! The home is located right on the beach, with sweeping views from all areas/bedrooms of the house. The home is stocked very well with anything you may need in the kitchen! We stayed for the 4th of July holiday and let me tell you! You will never see a better firework show anywhere!!! It was amazing. The home offers plenty of space for up to 14 people comfortably. Love this place and our family will be back!

Fitch Family 2024

The home was beautiful, very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need plus some and the two refrigerators were a huge bonus. Patti is a wonderful hostess and very easy to communicate with. The beach walkover was destroyed by hurricane Beryl, just a few weeks prior to our stay, but the beach access road was just two lots away. We would love to stay again if we go back to that area. communicatecommunicateThebedswere very comfortable.

Great Family Getaway!

My family and I came down while Surfside was still cleaning up from Beryl and the power was just restored the day before we were to arrive. I was in contact with Patti during the days before and even though she was dealing with her own issues with her home she was still able to get some new carpet and clean up done for us so we could still have our trip. She was very upfront as to the conditions that were still present and what we should expect and there was not a thing that she was wrong about, even the mosquitos. Thank you Patti for all you and your family did for my family so this could still happen. It was a great trip!

Perfect Beach Getaway for a Large Family!

We just returned from the most incredible stay at this beautiful beach house in Surfside! Our family of 13 had plenty of space, and everything about the home exceeded our expectations.The location couldn't have been better—right on the beach with breathtaking ocean views from the deck and living areas. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise each morning was unforgettable.The house was clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable for a large group. There was plenty of seating, beds, and room for the kids to play and adults to relax. The open layout made it easy for everyone to stay connected, whether we were cooking meals, playing games, or just lounging around.Communication with the host was top-notch—quick, clear, and friendly every step of the way. They made sure we had everything we needed and checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly.If you're looking for a perfect beachfront escape for a big group, this is the one. We’ve stayed here 3 times for the 4th of July and will be back again next year!!

The Perfect Relaxing Getaway

This is the perfect property for a family beach getaway in Surfside. The house is clean and has great space, in that there is an main floor and upstairs living area with televisions. The kitchen is open concept and perfect for group gatherings. The beds are very comfy - we all had a great nights x 3 sleep! I have never seen a better stocked kitchen, as far as any pan, dish or utensil you might need to use. I think maybe the best thing was the walkway over to the beach. Perfect! The water is stinky and not for drinking-this is normal for any beach house in this area. Bring water. Be sure to shut the door after you walk in so you don't get mosquitos in the house. Mosquitos are normal for this area. Water from recent rains sits out in the grassy dunes all down the beach, and you get mosquitos. The wonderful ocean breeze kept them away 95% of the time so this was not a problem. We really enjoyed sitting out on the back veranda, in the beautiful chairs. We would definately return to rent this beach house again!

Perfect location and fun getaway with the kids! This house really has alllll the things you could need. Only concern was water quality and smell. Possible the pipes are rusted or something because we haven’t experienced that at other houses on this beach.

This property is absolutely beautiful! It’s great for a large family. It also has a second living space which was great for my kids to escape from the adults. It’s right on the beach and has private access. Each morning we drank our coffee watching the sunrise and the waves coming in. The main patio chairs were comfy and sturdy. This house has beach chairs and everything you need for your stay. They also provided plenty of drinking water. The only 2 things that were disappointing was that there wasn’t a gas grill which was in the description and the house water was completely unusable. We were warned not to drink it but we weren’t warned not to wash our clothes. It turned all of our clothes and our beach towels orange. Showering was difficult with the rusty water. That being said, if they get the water clean, I would definitely stay there again.

Nice home. Great location. Entry was a little tricky but Patricia was available when I reached out. There was an abundance of kitchen items and decorative beach items to make you feel at home. The sulfur smell was awful but there was a supply of bottled water. The crossover to the beach was really convenient. We loved the furniture on both decks that wrapped around. The stairs and deck railings were a little shaky. Overall we really enjoyed our stay watching the sun rise and set from those decks with access from 3 of the 4 bedrooms.

What a great stay! The house was very clean and had lots of room for the 11 of us. It also had two refrigerators! The beds were comfortable, outdoor furniture was fantastic and the AC worked great! The proximity to the beach was amazing, as well as the view! Patti was so easy to work with and responded very quickly when we had questions. I’m sure if we head that way again, we will try to stay at this place!

We love this house--it has everything we were looking for--easy walkway to the beach, lots of sandy beach, porches that wrap around the house, and a private upstairs porch! The house is fully furnished and has lots of space. Yes, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Also we love that the owners were attentive and responded immediately to us when we had a question.
