Gulf of America - Surfside Beach Travel Trailer
My fiance and I stayed here after our hotel ended up being awful. We did not regret our decision one bit, we loved it!! It was perfect for the two of us and was more spacious than we thought! It’s very close to the beach, a food mart, and a bar! Everything was very clean and all instructions were very clear regarding rules, check in, and check out. We loved being able to use the grill to cook out and spend some time outside on the out door furniture! We will be staying again when we come back to Surfside Beach! ☀️🏖️

30 Seconds to the Sand! Private Beach Crossover!
The purple pelican is a perfect vacation getaway. Felt right at home the moment we walked in the door. Everything we needed for our stay was there: cooler, beach chairs and of course beach toys and kick boards for kids. Stephanie is a fabulous host. We needed to check out later and she made that happen for us so we could enjoy our last day a little longer. Thank you Stephanie!

Surfside Canal Front Fishing House Beach
Nice place, as described. Boi is a great host, very responsive! We had fun fishing and relaxing. It’s a peaceful neighborhood which was perfect for our quick getaway.

Beachfront Home, spectacular breeze & views.
My daughter and I enjoyed The Gem. We loved the home. The beach was very peaceful. We are hoping to make it an annual trip. My daughter and her friends enjoyed using the beach toys and board games. I was so happy I could bring my pups. This was the first vacation without my late husband and just my girl so having all the “extras” really helped me. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay.

ocean VIEWs + 4min to beach + modern updated home
The host was very responsive and polite, the house was very clean had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, the beach was easily accessible and clean, my favorite part was that there was an outside shower to rinse off sand after returning from the beach. We look forward to staying again in the future. 10/10 highly recommend staying.

Surfside Beach House w/Ocean View, Steps to Shore!
John's place is the perfect place. it is 2nd row and you have a view of the ocean. A perfect porch to sit and drink coffee in the morning, a glass of wine at night, or just to sit and listen to the waves. You have a very short walk to the beach! The house is great, has great space, very clean, and there was great space around the houses so you didn't feel on top of other guests. My teens enjoyed the TVs for the evenings. It is walking distance to a restaurant, ice cream shop, and 10 min from coffee or souvenirs!! perfect location!! We will be back!!

Ocean Hideaway
Great spot close to the beach. There was a cooler with purified water which was a thoughtful touch. Thank you Paul!

"The Look-Out" -Beach View Get-Away
Great stay with kids! Close to the beach without all the traffic and busy streets. Awesome location!

NEW-King Bed-Pool Games-Ocean Hot Tub-Sunset Views
This place is new and clean. Feels like your home. The kitchen, the dining area, and the bathroom are so nice and clean. The host is responsive and all his descriptions of the place are correct. We had a great vacation here. My kids love the house and the beach. Thank you.

It was an incredible experience. The place was perfect, cozy, clean, everything looked just like the photos and more! The host was always attentive. Kids and adults enjoyed the backyard and the amenities. We would definitely stay here again. I recommend this place 100%.

Gorgeous Ocean & Lake View | Beach Access | Pets
The pumpkin house was a delightful beach retreat with comfy beds, lovely decorations, and easy access to the beach. We enjoyed our stay. 😊

SunRays by the seashore!
Ideal location: just a quick walk to the sand. Also, it’s located in between two of the better restaurants on the beach. Worth the price. Kitchen, two bathrooms and laundry. You can’t beat it.

Last Minute Opening/Discounts! Views from 2 Decks!
We absolutely loved the place!! Decor was pink flamingos which my girlfriend loves and the color pink. Easy access to walk on the beach. Easy to find, everything was clean, the updates are spot on modern appliances. Had zero issues getting in. Definitely enjoyed the sitting on the top deck in the evening watching the waves crash along the beach. Great for a small family for 2 couples. Would definitely stay again.

Welcome to Cabana Axul
just a beautiful getaway in the country but not too far from the city I got a lot of things done working remote and I was able to extend my stay and then accommodated everything I needed I highly recommend you book this place.

Steps to the Beach, Clean & Cozy
Met all of our needs at a great price. The location was ideal for us, able to pack all of our needs for a day at the beach in a wagon and walk right down to the water. Definitely would stay here again!

Surfside Beach House! 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, Sleeps 8+
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was super convenient, just a very short walk to the beach. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The breeze on the front porch was very nice. There is much more space behind the house than with most beach houses so you don't feel cramped. We did need assistance with the AC while we were there. Jaz reached out to his handyman and everything was taken care of very quickly. You'll enjoy the nice AC 👍. Be sure to follow the checkin instructions which are sent to you right at checkin time as they are more updated than what's listed in the "How to get in" section in the app. We'll definitely select this beach house again if we're in the area and need a 3 bedroom!

Bayview: Pool /Spa Heating on Request
My son and his friends were having their prom at Moody Gardens. This house had everything 4 teenage boys could enjoy. From ping pong, billiards, and the swimming pool- they were entertained! It was a close drive to the beach as well, where they tried surf fishing. The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We had an enjoyable time here!

Your guide to Surfside Beach
All About Surfside Beach
Easygoing Surfside Beach is the kind of place where crowds are discussed in the hundreds, not the thousands, and loyal vacationers return annually. The village itself is an unfussy cluster of pastel-colored stilt houses with wide decks, seafood shacks and biker bars with ocean views, and nautical-themed shops for souvenirs and bait.
There’s plenty to do in Surfside, whether it’s fishing along the jetty, birdwatching, or visiting the waterpark. But with four miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, the beach is the main attraction here. The section east of Highway 332 is a drive-on beach, so you can cruise along to find your perfect stretch of sand (provided you’ve purchased the annual pass at a local supermarket). Then spread out and sip a frozen blended drink while watching the sailboats and oil tankers float by.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Surfside Beach
Expect sunny days no matter what time of year you visit Surfside Beach. July and August tend to be the hottest months, with temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters are nice and mild, with temperatures in the mid- to high 60s, and lows around 50 degrees. You may experience an isolated thunderstorm or a day of scattered showers anytime throughout the year, but beach weather usually returns quickly after the rain. Late summer through fall does bring a risk of hurricanes, so be sure to check the forecast.
Top things to do in Surfside Beach
Surfside Jetty County Park
Surfside Jetty County Park sits at the southern tip of the village and features beach access, a playground, and the 0.6-mile-long jetty for which it’s named. It’s a great place for a stroll, or you can bring your fishing tackle and join the local anglers on the rocks. If you prefer crustaceans, consider heading to the Crabbing Pier near Stahlman Park, north of town.
Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge
Just 30 minutes north of Surfside, the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge contains more than 44,000 acres of salt and freshwater marshes, ponds, mudflats, and coastal prairies. Sitting under the Central Flyway, it is home to some 300 species of birds for all or part of the year. Wander the boardwalks in search of herons, roseate spoonbills, sandhill cranes, snow geese, and possibly even an alligator or two! In town, the Surfside Beach Bird and Butterfly Trail attracts all sorts of native and migratory animals. Just don’t forget to pack your binoculars.
Surfing
As its name suggests, Surfside Beach is known as one of the most consistent surf spots on the Texas coast. The waves are best in the winter, but storms in the Gulf of Mexico can produce big swells during hurricane season. Paddle out from the shoreline near Texas Street, or head to one of the rental shops around town and ask about lessons. Surfside is also a great spot for windsurfing and kayaking, too, depending on the conditions.
