ITS ALWAYS GREAT HERE...FISHING ON YOUR PRIVATE PIER, MOONLIGHT STROLLS ALONG THE BEACH OR WATCHING SUNSETS ON THE BAY FADE INTO STAR LIT NIGHTS.
There are not many of these...Enjoy your own private lighted fishing pier, witness spectacular sunrises over the Gulf and sunsets over Little Drum bay. And best of all, if you bring your boat, you can launch and park next door at the paved, private boat launch and leave your boat parked at our private pier.
We just completed new decks, painting, granite countertops in the kitchen and flooring throughout the home. This home has two very large covered balconies facing Little Drum Bay. Watch the kids fish on the lighted pier while you relax on one of the new decks that look out over the bay. This is also a great place for everyone to crab and then have a crab boil. We always bring extra shrimp, potatoes and corn just in case. This is also an excellent place for Kayakers to come to stay and fish. Easy launching beside the home. Read your favorite book, nap or sip on your favorite drink while watching the spectacular sunsets.
Inside you can relax in the spacious and open floor plan designed to accommodate groups of all sizes. The kitchen has all-stainless steel appliances. Gourmet cooks enjoy being able to prepare their favorite dishes, listening to their favorite music while gazing at the views of the bay.
Three bedrooms are upstairs, and one more is downstairs for the occasional late night arrival or grandpa's snoring.
The beach is only 1.5 blocks away. Load up the chairs, umbrella and cooler and putter over to the beach to build sand castles, wake board, surf-fish or just kick back and enjoy the views. When you come home, rinse off under the outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
At the end of the day, you can play board games with the family, sit out under the stars, or watch movies or TV.
There are a variety of other activities which include local restaurants, putt-putt golf, Moody Gardens, the Confederate air force museum, and The Strand, a world class shopping area in Galveston.
Growing up, the whole family vacationed near the gulf coast. We always made so memories there together. This is why we have this home. There is no better value in a family vacation that offers this many options and we hope you will make the memories here with your family, too.

We had a wonderful time with our family here. My only complaint is, the bed in the room near the kitchen, was quite uncomfortable. Other than that it's a great house to stay at.
Beautiful home and location! It had just about everything we needed for our stay! First time ever staying at a vacation rental and it was definitely worth it! Even though it rained the first couple days of our stay we had plenty to do while we stayed at the house! Thank yall for sharing your home! Make sure and bring some kind of mosquito repellant.
We enjoyed the home. There were seven of us Ian’s we had plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. Beautiful views of the bay. Enjoyed fishing at the pier and we look forward to visiting again!
The property was very clean and contained everything you you could need for a comfortable stay. I was impressed by how well the kitchen was stocked with accessories necessary to cook any meal. The beach was only a two minute ride and there was a hot/cold shower to rinse off in before entering the hose. The entire family enjoyed the stay.
Families from Iowa and Wisconsin gathered to help with and attend a wedding. The kitchen had what was needed to prepare meals and food for the families and a rehearsal dinner (off site). The large dining table was appreciated. Beach and bay activities ARE the best of both worlds. Would definitely stay there again.
We had an amazing time here on our summer vacation! Our party of 12 fit very comfortably in the home. Everyone had fun fishing and the beach, which is less than 3 minutes drive away, was clean and beautiful. The Surfside Market is five minutes down the road, which came in very handy for water and supplies. Loved our time here and grateful for the great communication with the hosts. Thank you again!
Right in the center of great fishing spots. Fish drum bay from the private dock or take your boat/kayak up to the connecting Christmas bay just a couple miles away. Also from the cabin if you turn left on blue water hwy it’s only 10 minute drive to San Luis Pass. Or turn right and drive 10 minutes to the Freeport jetties. The cabin itself great….clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Easily slept 8 people with room to spare.
Wonderful weekend getaway with family- kids age 2 to 86! Great bay home with a wonderful view of the bay and sunset providing great bird watching. Beach just a short walk away. We had a great time and hope to return.
We stayed here as a family, liked it so much we reserved for a friends weekend. Friends had a great time fishing and enjoying the relaxing weekend. We plan to rent again.
We love this home on the bay and across the street from the beach! The kids enjoy crabbing right from the deck and the house has crabbing traps and a canoe for the guests use. We have been here many times and after this trip the entire family agreed this is our favorite VRBO rental!
We highly recommend this home! It was beautiful staying right on the bay and out of the hustle and bustle of the city! We enjoyed the dock and sitting on the upper patio watching the sunsets! Our grandkids loved riding their scooters on the patio and it was great being so close to the beach! Most days the beach was pretty empty so we felt like we had it all to ourselves! We would love to stay again!
Overall, it was a really nice trip. The only thing wrong was the faucet in the upstairs bathroom was broken. The owner did state it was ordered and would be replaced. Bring your off, the mosquitos were bad.
Our family had a great time fishing off the dock and visiting the beach. We had a crab boil, which was delicious. There was even a brief visit from an alligator. The kids loved getting to see different species of crabs in action. We were a little disappointed that the launch next to the house was only big enough for kayaks, but everyone still had lots of fun. This place is great for a family gathering because it's close to Galveston and Houston and the beach and fishing!
Fun for all ages -- fish, crab & beach time!
Highlight may have been the grandchildren's 1st crabbing experience off your dock which resulted in a crab boil & as well, some very proud little girls (ages 5, 7 & 8). Thank you for sharing your bay house.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 August 2021
Not sure why they rated as a 1 star. According to the review everything was great. They even thanked us for sharing our home. I am a little confused by this response.
Very clean and not a single bug indoors, in response to a recent review. The beds were comfortable and the house has everything you may need. Very fast internet and DISH network. My husband and son caught several redfish from their kayaks. We plan to return.

About the host

Why they chose this property
Surfside Beach is a quiet community - very family friendly - clean, wide open beaches. All the nitelife, restaurants and shopping are only a short drive away - 20 minutes to Lake Jackson and only 32 minutes to Galveston - but you don't have all the traffic and huge crowds
What makes this property unique
It is just a short walk or drive to the beach and you can still enjoy all the perks of a home on the bay - your own private lighted fishing pier - gorgeous sunsets on the bay - plenty of room in the yard to play and no traffic as on the beach
