There's also a small playground, splash pad, nature trails and much more located close by.

Due to being so close the Gulf/beach the area can change due to high tides ie. more sand on and around our property or on the road. Sometimes sea glass etc can be brought up by the tide, please take care.

We are located near the Gulf in Texas which can be very humid. Bugs are to be expected (mosquitoes, ants and palmetto bugs) even though we do spray our home regularly.

This property was great to stay with small kids and a teen who all love being at the beach 24/7! It was so easy to walk down to the beach with nothing and be able to come back to the house for breaks, showers and naps. The house was cute, clean and had everything we needed. We plan to book again soon!

It is a nice little place steps away from the water. Short walk to the jetty and park. Only complaint is the driveway, the sand is soft and if you are in a small vehicle you might have trouble, my truck has no problems. Already looking to rebook the Surf Rider in coming months!!!

Wonderful location with great views! We stay in Surfside frequently and really enjoyed this location, you can’t get any closer to the beach. Host was very responsive. The house is smaller than what we are used to (family of 5) but the layout worked and it was clean!
