The Neighborhood:
🏝️ We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.

If you are looking for beach time this is the house for you! Plenty of room, beautiful drive to Galveston and you cannot beat the views! We will likely rent this home again!
This was our second time staying at this property! It was more beautiful than last time! Great view of the beach, dog friendly, and amazing service from 979! They did a couple renovations from last year when wr stayed. It was overall a wonderful time!!
Great house. Location perfect! Had a ceiling fan problem the first day and it was fixed pronto! We are coming back next year to the same place. Wonderful vacation.

Great location.
Location is great. House is very spacious, everything you need in the kitchen. Beds we’re comfortable and comfy couches. My negative is the 2nd bathroom shower/tube combo feels like it’s going to fall through. I had the other guest use the master shower.
Second time staying at Surfside, last time we stayed on Beach Drive right in front of the pedestrian beach. We were looking for a house on the beach and needed a fenced yard for our dogs. This house did not disappoint! We really enjoyed the shade on the deck and spent a lot of time out there watching the waves. Great location with easy beach access. The access road got a little busy over the weekend, but it was never a problem. Overall a great experience!
We stayed for the whole month of March and we found the property exactly as advertised. The location was great as were the accommodations. The deck was large and perfect. And the deck furniture was the best we've seen in over twenty years of renting places.
Had just a few issues like a broken gate latch that were immediately taken care of by the property manager. We were there during spring break which was unusually quiet and that's the way we like it.
We found the house to be in good shape and well furnished with everything you need. I would have liked to seen a better barbecue grill. The one there is old and the weather has had its way with it. But it worked for us so everything was good.
Overall, a great property, well taken care of and located right on the beach. If you like to drink your coffee overlooking the beach with a great view, this place is for you.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for direct beach access and terrific accommodations.
We all loved this place, the location was great and the whole setup was well worth it. Easy to check-in and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay.
Great house for a group of 10 people and our pups! Amazingly close to the beach! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to use. Would definitely rent again!
We had a very enjoyable quiet five day stay in Surfside beach. The house was nice and the beaches are clean and pretty. Look forward to our October vacation in the same spot.
Fenced yard with large crate for inside-Couldn’t have been any better for pets. If you need a fan , bring your own. No box or small fans in house. Beach was right there. Great views. Close to town, but not too close. They provided hotel style soaps, shampoos, good towels, and laundry detergent. Outside lighting excellent. Beds were all good. King bed was excellent comfort. Downstairs also has comfortable sitting area and table, With charcoal type barbecue grill. Highly recommend this property. We’ll be back.
Had a relaxing stay here. It was perfect for our pet because of the fenced yard. Beach access was the best! Beach was not crowded during the week at all….weekend was packed!! All in all a great stay.
This was our first time visiting Surfside. It was everything we wanted. The house was amazing, the beach was clean and a super short walk from the house. Will definitely stay here again.
The house looked just like the pictures. Great view of the ocean. The deck is a great place to hang out. The quality of the towels were nice and big. The kitchen was well stocked, my daughter loves the fun plates for kids. Great outdoor space for our dog, well kept. We will definitely stay at this house again.
