FRONT ROW SEATS TO THE GULF OF AMERICA! There's No Better View TOTAL RENOVATION
This OCEAN FRONT 2-story home has extraordinary views of Surfside Beach and the Gulf of Mexico! Take it all in from your FRONT ROW seats to witness the beautiful blue skies, tempting ocean water and sandy beach. Our property is truly in the best location you could hope for at Surfside Beach. Our beach house has everything you need for a perfect vacation or week-end getaway!
Linger in the living room with magnificent 180 degree views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Step onto the 20 x 30 foot deck to lounge, nap, sit and sip and visit with friends and family.
From here, you can watch your kids frolick at the beach with peace of mind they are mere steps away from you while you kick back on the deck. Our deck is a "shore" thang and will not disappoint with its vast size and amazing view.
Napping is highly encouraged and sometimes unavoidable!
Sit back and take in God's glory year-round where you may be teased by uninhibited hummingbirds and huge pelicans that seem to always hover just overhead.
After indulging your lazy self in the hammock, stroll down your very own private bridge that leads directly to the ocean. Go on---dip your toes in or go all the way!
Surfside is home to some of the best surf fishing, beach combing, shelling, boating and swimming. If that sounds too exhausting then hang out on the deck, under the deck or kick back at the beach.
This home offers you a warm inviting and comfortable oasis, whether you are seeking an adult get-away or a family-oriented escape. Everything you need to make your vacation memories is waiting for you at Gulf Coast Sanity!
Our highest aim is to ensure that your stay exceeds your expectations. Your comfort and satisfaction is our ultimate goal. We go the distance to make sure everything is convenient, accommodating, relaxing and full of fond memories!

Great location and pretty interior. Unfortunately the hammocks that are showing in the photos are no longer there and I was truly looking forward to that portion of the stay but all in all we had a pleasant stay.

The house was clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed and plenty of room. It was right on the beach and the private walking pier to the beach was very convenient.

We loved the beach view, all the rooms were clean, it’s accessible to the beach! My family enjoyed it. The only thing is that the house had some ants roaming around and the smell of the water in the restrooms was strong (that is out of the property owner control). Great communication! Beautiful property.

We booked the house to attend a wedding in angleton. Our only regret is we didn’t get to spend more time at the house and beach. The house was so cute and perfect for our stay.

We had a wonderful time. The property is as described as far as proximity to the beach. Communication with the host was easy and our host was very responsive (usually within 24 hours). The property was clean and well stocked (bath towels, blankets, kitchen supplies, etc). All in all, a fabulous stay.

Our only complaint is the mattress need to be updated, and the bedroom to thr left downstairs needs curtains, when the motion light comes on it shines into the room. We really enjoyed the house and its location.

Thanks John! We are always looking to improve for our guest and future guests needs. I will take your advice into consideration.

Multiple lists of rules and penalties were very off-putting to everyone in the family. Pillows were worn out and smelly. Sheets were inferior quality and stale smelling. Ceiling fan in downstairs bedroom was off balance and rattled. I washed downstairs sheets after the first night. Washing machine had accumulated sand under the tub and did not seem to wring clothes adequately. I was afraid to even use the dishwasher. So. I washed all dishes by hand! I never got the tv in one downstairs bedroom to work. Considering most beach house properties, not bad. Considering the rental cost, not good.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay fell short of expectations.,. I truly wish you would have communicated, That being said that’s not the experience we want for our guests.
We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. The condition of the pillows and linens, the ceiling fan balance, washing machine performance and the TV setup are all items that should have been addressed, and we will be reviewing each of them with our cleaning and maintenance teams to ensure improvements are made. We are also evaluating how our house rules are presented, as guest comfort and clarity are important to us, and we never want them to feel off-putting. Unfortunately some renters have ruined this for all guest.
Your comments are helpful and will be used to make necessary updates so future guests have a better experience. Thank you again for your honesty and we wish you the best in your future travels.

About the host
Hosted by Sylvia Garza
Mark and I have had a beach house at Surfside Beach since 2011 and loved it so much we purchased our first investment property as an oceanfront beach house rental.
We are both native Texans! Mark enjoys fishing the bays for reds, trout & flounder. He also enjoys working on our beach houses and has completed many projects on the properties from building decks, fences, showers, adirondack chairs and picnic tables.
While I love fishing too, I enjoy the beach and shelling. As often as possible I enjoy making and creating coastal art for our homes, friends and family. I love my friends at the beach and we consider ourselves the "Surfside Beach Family".
Surfside Beach has a special place in our heart and has brought much happiness, peace and serenity into our lives.
WE ARE HAPPY AND BLESSED TO SHARE OUR HOME WITH YOU.
Why they chose this property
We love Surfside Beach for many reasons. Among the reasons why we love this village is because the environment is quaint, quiet, warm and charming.
The locals here are friendly and down-to-earth.
Our lovely beach house has been provisioned with everything you need during your stay. We go further to give our guests the best amenities available.
Mark and I have put a lot of time, love and attention into creating an environment that we hope our guests will appreciate and treasure during their vacation stay.
When you walk in the door we hope you find a warm, friendly and peaceful feeling that invites you to come in and stay awhile!
What makes this property unique
Hands Down, this property has the best view ever! You can sit on the expansive deck or meander down the private bridge to dip your toes in the water or park a beach chair in the sand and take it all in! From the views on multi-level decks, the private bridge, outdoor hot/cold water show to the comfortable indoors, this is the beach house vacation you've waited for!
