About this property
Classic octagon house with excellent beach and jetty views!
This adorable seaside cottage sleeps up to 6 comfortably in the 'Best Gulf Beach Town as rated by Gulf Shores Magazine. Fish N' Ships sits in the pedestrian beach area. Located on a corner lot near the jetty, just a short walk down the beach. The front of the house is lined with windows to let in plenty of natural light and spacious views. Open concept living area with lovely beach decor throughout the home.
Surfside is paradise for those with many interests offering some of the best surfing and birding in Texas. With its unique octagonal design, this beach house offers amazing 360 degree views. The aptly named, Fish-n-Ships features a large deck to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and views of the beach, along with the Texas Ship Channel where ships arrive from all over the world and the fishing is world class! Next door is a play park, volleyball courts and a splash pad.
Discover a variety of activities nearby since you are steps away from one of the best surfing breaks on the Gulf Coast and ample beach to set out your sun chairs. Head to the jetty to watch the fun from the granite surf bench, look for dolphins dancing in the waves, or grab your fishing tackle to cast your luck for the prized trout or bull red. Try crabbing at the nearby crabbing pier. No luck? No worries! Surfside has several eateries to enjoy fresh food for lunch or dinner.
A few blocks north is the site of the first battle of the Texas Revolution where you can see a replica of historic Fort Velasco. Stop along your walks in the beautiful Butterfly Park and Nature Preserve or relax in this quiet sanctuary, and even enjoy a spectacular Texas Sunset. Better yet head back to the house and fire up the outdoor grill and enjoy some of the best sunset views in all of Surfside right off your back porch!
Relax after a fun-filled day by watching a movie with the family or sitting out in the fresh air to star gaze the southern skies. Plan for some early morning birding in the hopes of spotting numerous local favorites such as the Roseate Spoonbill, the Snow Egret, and the great Blue Heron before you drift off to sleep with the ocean waves gently crashing along the shore in the background.
Fish-n-Ships is a family favorite for guests from all over the world and a year-round great place to reside! Bed linens, bath towels, Wi-Fi and satellite television are all included with your stay. Bring your friends and family...you'll have no problem finding fun in the sun!

This is a very quaint property that has a great view of the waves morning to night, watching the ships go in and out of the jetty was super fun! Our kids loved the easy access to the beach and it made it very convenient with kids to make multiple shorter trips down to the beach!
I and my family had a great stay. Next to the beach, park and jetty. Also stopped at the Jetty shack where they had some great food and karaoke a few blocks from the beach house. Everything was a great experience for us.
Cozy place great for a small family or small group of friends. Right by two beaches. You can see dolphins and big fish being caught st the jetty. Water is gulf water but most days was great. Nice little spot for relaxing on the deck or a 1 minute walk to the beach!Will use again! Eat at the Jetty Shack! The other places look nicer, have a fun vibe but Jetty Shack is a hole in the wall bar and grill looks like it will be bad, a little longer wait but the food was top notch guilty pleasure food!
Overall the house is in a good location next to the pedestrian beach and close to the jetty. The AC is cold. But there are some negatives- the water has a high iron and mineral content. This means it is discolored and has a smell. I would not wash clothes in the washing machine. The other reason we didn’t use the washing machine is the mold in front load door seal. The house itself is older and can use a refresh - at least in the bathroom. There are no amenities like a hair dryer. Although it is small it is easy to move around in and has plenty of seating.

Excellent location by jetty and so close to the beach and pier PLUS gotta love cold A/C!!
What an amazing, cute place that surpassed all of our expectations. We were super close to the beach and jetties, to the point that we only brought out what we immediately needed — we were able to be back at the house in seconds if we needed anything!We will be staying again!
