EASY CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT:

It's easy to stay with us and secure too! Access the home electronically at 4pm on the date of your arrival with your unique lock code that we specifically give only to you via text and email. Your code is live from 4pm on your arrival date until 11am on the date of your departure.



The Neighborhood:

SURFSIDE BEACH:

🏝️ 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.



Surfside Beach water is of poor quality to drink or cook with. Please feel free to bring your own bottled water for consumption. You may also bring a container(s) that can be filled at City Hall located at 1304 Monument Dr. Surfside Beach, TX 77541.



Other Things to Note:

HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:

The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!



🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY:

Bring Fido(s)! We welcome your furry friends (aka family members). Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per dog per stay.



WIFI/TV SERVICE:

Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!

This house is beautiful inside and out. Communication is great with the 979 crew and they left our sweet fur babies a treat. A lot of the houses on Surfside are outdated (to each their own) if you are looking for a nice quality home this is it! Everything is still new and the home was very clean. The buggy rental place is one minute away ( we walked there) so the home is a perfect location and you have two choices for the public beach entrance. Restaurants and culture coffee are very close by to the home. You can ride your buggy to restaurants and coffee. I would definitely return to this home and any 979 management property because of their quick responses!

This property was absolutely gorgeous. It was kept up well, very clean, had a gorgeous view, and the host was exceptional! Anything we needed at all, the host was very quick to respond and helped with any and all of our needs. It was a beautiful view from the back and had a balcony to sit and enjoy it. It also had a very nice deck on the front with comfortable chairs. It was only a 5 minute walk to the beach. The host left a goodie basket for odds and ends that you would need. If I travel to this location again, I would not think twice about booking this house. I promise you can't go wrong.
