Property details

Stunning and mostly secluded, this exclusive, classic beach house sits directly on the shores of Surfside Beach on 13 acres of precious oceanfront. It’s a rare treat to find a beachfront home like this! With sleeping space for 24 people, direct beach access, private pool and outdoor shower— this seaside oasis has enough room for your whole group to enjoy an extraordinary trip to the Texas coast. ● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter! Ask about our reduced monthly rates October 1 - March 1. ● Location: Surfside Beach in Freeport, Texas ● Beach Access: Guests have their own private boardwalk over the dunes and down to the public beach! ● Private Pool: This home features an above-ground pool that is 4ft deep with a spacious deck for lounging. ● WIFI/Cable: We provide free high-speed WIFI and Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own streaming service apps. ● Pet Policy: 3 pets are allowed with a $25 fee per pet. Please keep pets off furniture, clean up after them outside, and crate them if left alone indoors. ● Large Groups: We love hosting church groups and large family gatherings, however groups over the size of 16 guests must be approved prior to booking. ● Parking: There is room for up to 8 cars on the driveway. The double-height great room has floor to ceiling windows that overlook the massive deck and the panoramic ocean views beyond. Shiplap walls add warmth to the clean, modern space. Two comfy sofas face a giant flatscreen television mounted above the fireplace. You’ll want to curl up here in the evenings with a cocktail and a movie or host a memorable game night with your whole group. Behind the living area, a spacious peninsula bar has ample bar seating on both sides and leads into the fully-equipped open kitchen. Glass doors from the kitchen entry space lead outside to the huge, oceanfront deck. You’ll be pulled out here again and again by the sound of the crashing waves against the sand, the call of coastal birdsong, and the invigorating sea breezes. Take your morning cup of coffee out here and watch the sunrise over the waves. There’s an enormous table on the deck for dining al fresco to the sound of the waves as the twilight sky turns from pink to indigo blue. The master suite lies off the living area and features a king-size bed and a full-over-full bunk bed. Glass doors lead out to the deck and the sweeping ocean views. The attached master bathroom has white shiplap walls, a double vanity, and a step-in shower. The second bedroom has a king-size bed and a triple-stack of custom built-in twin-size bunks. The third bedroom on this floor has two queen-size beds set into charming antique iron frames. Another full bathroom has a tub/shower combo. A fun and flexible lofted space that’s accessed from the living room has two full-over-full bunks and a flatscreen television. On the ground level, a separate space doubles as a game room and 5th bedroom, with a queen bed and full-over-full bunk bed, plus arcade games and TV. Outside, picnic tables and a charcoal grill are set on a covered patio area, while an outdoor shower feels fantastic after a salty and sandy day at the beach. Your group will be torn on where to soak in the rays– the beach or the private pool! There’s also tons of parking space for multiple vehicles. When you’re ready to hit the beach, simply walk across your private boardwalk, past the dunes and down into the warm sand and salty surf of the Gulf of Mexico. You never have to stress about packing up for a day trip to the beach— since you’re never more than a few steps away from the shore at all times. Gather your whole group together and tell them you’ve found the perfect home for your next trip to the Texas coast. ● Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home.

The house is gorgeous and location is perfect! Sam was extremely responsive and addressed things immediately! We are extremely grateful for that. We just feel a few things need to be addressed and maintenance needs a little more attention. There were some safety concerns but overall we enjoyed our stay! Plenty of space for our large family.

Our stay had some positives but also several issues. When we arrived, the front door was unlocked and wouldn't lock during our stay. Please note that you must bring your own drinking water. On the plus side, the location was great, with easy access to the beach and pool, which we really enjoyed. The air conditioning worked wonderfully and kept us cool on the hottest days!

The house is in a great location. I would recommend and rent it again. The mosquitos are bad but that’s a given. The house is in the perfect spot with the beach. I would do it again.

PRO: great location and LOVED the views and seclusion the house offered. Cons: we had some MAJOR hiccups the first 24hrs. Arrived the front yard was flooded (ankle water deep) AC was out and took until 11pm to cool off. Pool was green majority of the time until the last day. Pool guy came first night filled the pool up drained the well and we had NO water on 2nd day. Communication was poor for us to get water back on. Magically after 1/2 the second day the water started working. They were pumping the water out of the driveway but took majority of the vacation to drain. (Could have done this sooner) We had to take the dogs potty on the beach due to yard being flooding so that was frustrating. So minus these hiccups the house was great and the view out weighed these hiccups and still had a great vacation .
