Located about an hour South of Houston, the Bahama Mama offers the ultimate retreat for those seeking to get away from it all to enjoy a spectacular time at the beach. The House has an extended deck with nice views of the ocean, and the inside is very nicely furnished with the vacationing family in mind. The beach is a few steps away and offers endless possibilities for fun regardless of the season. Surfside Beach was recently voted as best Gulf Coast beach town by readers of Gulfscapes magazine. Surside is steeped in history and is home to the famous Fort Velasco, and is the location where the first battle prior to the war for Texas Independence was fought. This is a sister property to "Sunny Days" which is located next to it (search on Property ID 959903). Keywords: Beach House

The house is perfect for a small family get away! It is a little weathered & a bit older but still in good shape! The walk to the beach was mere minutes over the dunes & easy access. The owners were extremely responsive & very courteous! Bring extra towels & kitchen essentials like seasonings & oil. Also have some extra paper goods & trash bags as well as dish soap. Charcoal grill available, which we used a few times. Overall- perfect for us!

Surfside TX :(
This property needs a thorough cleaning from top to bottom. If you want pictures I would be happy to send. Hard to get to the beach with a 2 1/2 year old.
The running water smelled like rotten eggs did not take a show for two days.. finally had to give in..The lift for constuction across the street was from 8 AM to nightfall the entire time breathing Diesel fuel exhaust.
The only good thing about this place is that the beds were comfortable but the linens smelled the rotten eggs

Nice view!
Nice view especially from deck! Nice deck with latched gates for little ones safety! Home was as listed. Had a small wait to get into home. The person cleaning accidentally took to key. Owner was as extremely nice and helped to resolve the situation in less than 15 minutes. The lady who came with the key was extremely nice and apologetic as well! The a/c took a while to cool off, they provided 1 stand fan, so we purchased 2 box fans to help cool us down. Could not set a/c temp below 73. The queen bed was extremely hard to sleep on for 2 people because there was a significant dip that you would roll into, so wife and hubby took turns on the couch and everyone else’s beds to sleep. Also, it would have been nice to have extra trash bags, dishwashing pods, paper towels and dish cloths. We had to buy them. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay and appreciate the owners opening up their home to us!

Awesome
when I arrived at this beach house I instantly felt a vacation welcoming very spacious for a family of six if you bring two extra people still spacious I booked this beach house for my daughter's 5th birthday and from the moment we got there to the moment we left we had so much fun very easy to get to the beach, very easy to clean up, and take a shower. We were able to cook and everything was provided. Great communication with the owner we got there early we left a little later definitely will be staying at this location again.

Memorial Day weekend at this property
We spent 4 days at this property over the Memorial Day weekend last week. The property was clean and comfortable. Great location to the beach and beach access one street over. Fantastic view of the Ocean and the deck was large. We had a great time and it was very relaxing. Thanks for leasing us your property. Thank you.

Great Vacation Spot
Property was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked with plenty of everything we needed for cooking. Loved the outdoor shower to rinse off the sand from the beach. Area was family friendly. House was close to the beach. We enjoyed our stay. Would've liked a TV in the master bedroom.

Family beach getaway
This was the perfect place! Steps to the beach! TK was a great host! My wife and daughter and grandkids had a great time enjoying the beach. We were on the beach from morning till night. We walked to the house for lunch to cool off. Awesome accommodations! We will definitely come back.

Perfect weather
Beautiful sunrises, wonderful beach, awesome waves. House is very comfortable. Could use some better cooking pots and pans. The ones there are not sufficient for cooking a large meal and no covers for the frying pans (which you need when cooking potatoes…..) Everything thing else was great. Wonderful place to stay.

Nice location but needs an
Renting this property was based on what was advertised, however location is good, but maintenance was not what I expected property manager need to check on there cleaning services. But overall it’s okay.
This is a very pretty house, cozy and welcoming with lots of good spaces to rest, relax, and unwind. The views are EPIC! The deck offers nice space and sunrise viewing options! Laundry room is huge and makes your stay easier and convenient! Other than the cleaning crew that could do a better job, all of my stay was AMAZING! Worries wash away in this house, memories are easily created and spirits are recharged easily with the family!!! Great GETAWAY place!!!! Will def go again…

Nice house with beach view and access
Nice, comfortable house with exactly what we were looking for. Beach view from patio and short walk to beach, but still affordable for small family.
