This house was so cute, and the decorations were very beachy, but there were a few issues. The sheets on the bed were not fresh, and the floors were not very clean. The biggest problem we had was that the private dune crossover was not usable all the way to the beach. The dune vegetation had grown so overgrown that it was not safe to use, due to the fact that the dunes have many venomous snakes. This unobstructive view and the crossover were one of the main reasons we chose this house. Lastly, under the house was a mess. There was broken glass and debris all over the place. We were able to clean that up without too much effort. I know the dunes are protected, but I believe you can have small pathways through them, which is what the picture showed. There was, however, a community crossover right next door, so that was a plus. We would be interested in renting this house again. It was peaceful and restful, which is what we wanted. Also, we caught some pretty nice fish.

This might have been the best trip we've taken as a family. Hitting the beach was a breeze. It wasn't crowded. If anything, the listing under sells how great the place is. Two days into our week the kids were already asking if we could come back next year.

Oh am gee! Our rental experience exceeded my expectations. Leading up to our beach weekend, Brad was communicative and kind. He was very accommodating and I could not have asked for a better host. The home itself is a gem. The views were spectacular. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was a weekend for the books. I’m already planning our next trip back. Thank you for a wonderful experience Brad.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The check in process was very easy, the house was clean and smelled clean as soon as we walked in. The house is pretty spacious and I loved the decor. The owners have great communication, they respond promptly. The communication has nothing to do with complaints or concerns just a question here and there and we got answers rapidly and very helpful. They provide with more than most places we have stayed and we just had a lovely time there, definitely recommend and we will definitely be back again.

Great Location!

Great location with easy access to the beach! Beautiful view and so convenient that you really don’t need to haul anything other than your chairs and drinks to relax by the water. You will likely want to use the neighboring walk over to the beach, as the one attached to the house ends at the dunes, and there are warning of snakes (rattlesnakes) in the grassy dunes. We had some issues with the hot water, missing hair dryers, and broken appliances. However, Brad was very quick to respond and remedy the issues. The home needs a very thorough deep cleaning as there were several issues that only happen by neglect, especially in the bathrooms. I don’t blame the owner b/c they pay a service to clean. I did let Brad know, and I feel like he will address that situation as well b/c it can’t be fixed if they aren’t aware. Despite these issues, we had a great time. I would stay here again, if the cleanliness issues are addressed.

The overall stay was very nice. Nice views,close to aot of different places. There was a couple of amenities that weren't there. There was no fire pit and I had brought some wood to burn and there was no private walkway as stated. The one that was there ended into the dunes where signage was to beware of snakes

Lovely getaway with a front row view of the beach!

The house was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well equipped, but we brought our own spices. The back porch faces the waves, perfect for drinking coffee and watching the sunrise. Recommend you bring water and ice. Our dog loved chasing sticks on the beach, which was a very short walk away. Brad was very helpful and responded quickly to all questions. It would be nice if the back porch door had a swinging closer. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beaching from the porch!

Very happy with the house and process! 4 of us celebrated my mom's 80th birthday. I was worried about dad getting around but they stayed in the larger room and had no trouble navigating around the house or their large bathroom. Seriously front row seats of the beach! We only got sandy when we wanted to. House was very nicely furnished, linens were fine and kitchen well supplied. If you are doing any cooking bring all ingredients. My only real advice is bring WATER! You will want to use it to make coffee and even brush your teeth with. Plan ahead for restaurants, they are very sporadic on hours posted in Surfside but Lake Jackson was consistent. We will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

We had a great time at this house! Easy access to the beach, hose at both front and back porch to wash sand off. I LOVED the back porch facing the water. I would sit out there and have coffee, go to the beach, get burnt and then hang out at the covered porch til dark. Lots of items available for use. The Owner was very quick to respond to any questions or requests as well!
