2nd Row Beach Escape | Steps from Beach | NBA Jam, Shuffleboard & More!

Welcome to The Sandy Swan, located in Surfside Beach, Texas!

*Please be sure to read the "IMPORTANT NOTE", Cancellation Policy & House Rules information that is included at the end of this description before submitting your booking online.

Situated in the Swan Lake neighborhood, this highly desirable location is close to all the activities and amenities that Surfside Beach has to offer but is just enough off the beaten path in the quiet section of Middle Beach. The beach house is situated on the second row, where you will enjoy partial views of the ocean and easy access to the beach! Walk-on beach access is available across Swan Ct while drive-on access is available a half mile or less in each direction. The Surfside Beach golf cart path runs the length of the island along the Bluewater highway behind the house.

The layout of the beach house is great! Spacious and comfortable, your family will enjoy spending time in the open living, dining, and kitchen areas. In the living area, you'll find comfortable seating, a 65" flat screen Smart Roku TV with streaming capabilities (no Cable TV package), NBA Jam arcade game, a brand new 12’ shuffleboard, two tables for games, puzzles, activities, and dining. Additional seating is available at the breakfast bar.

The three bedrooms can sleep up to eight people. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed. The guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed. In the bunk room, two sets of twin-sized bunk beds sleep an additional four people.

The living room has a sleeper sofa that can sleep two more people.

Outside is a large deck that faces the beach. Relax on the deck with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine! Read a book while enjoying the sun, the view, and listening to the waves!

NOTE: A small charcoal grill is available but please bring your own supplies if you wish to barbecue during your stay and clean the grill after use.

It's beach time at The Sandy Swan and we look forward to hosting you and yours!

Great location, super clean and nice, would rent again!

We rented this beach house for a long weekend getaway and it was perfect! The house was very clean and had all of the amenities and the beds were very comfy. Swan Lake is the perfect little area in Surfside! Don’t let the house being on the 2nd row prevent you from renting. It’s a very quick and easy walk back and forth from the house to the beach and you still have a great view of the beach! The things I appreciate when renting a beach house are cleanliness, comfy beds, cool AC, comfy couches and location to the beach and this house checks all the boxes! I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again. Booking, check in and out was very easy and we didn’t have any issues at all.

Updated house close to beach!

This was our first time at Surfside and this house was a perfect fit for our group. It’s nicely decorated and had nice little touches like charging ports on the bedside tables and a place to rinse sand off your feet on the lower level. We also loved that we could park in the shade below the house. Beach access was an easy walk over the nearby walkway. The younger ones in our group really liked the bunk room and the shuffleboard and video game in the main room. Overall a great find!

Great place overall!

The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable! The beach was very easy to access! Plenty of pots and pans to cook with. The video game and shuffleboard initiated some intense competition! Our family had a blast. The only down side to this house is the smell of the water, it smells like rotten eggs. The odor is so strong that many of us were gagging while taking a shower. I do believe it is an issue of the area not just this house, the neighbors water smelled the same way. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Surfside Light 2022

We had 2 families each with 4 kids ages 6-12 & their grandma at the property. We all had a fantastic time! Proximity to the beach was great. Easy check in/check out process. Only 2 problems- 1) the king sized bed frame was bent and didn’t seem adequate for a king sized bed and 2) not enough pillow cases for the bed pillows. All- in- all it was a great trip and we’re already planning our trip for next year. The property manager was easily contacted and had a quick response. I did not mention the pillows to her because I had brought some with me.

Nice upgraded property in a great location

This property is well maintained and has everything you would need including board games for kids, shuffle board and a video game console! The beach is just a couple of minutes walk across the street from the house. Unfortunately, we reached late for check in and it was dark. So it took us some time to figure out the lights for parking and unloading. Due to recent rains and stagnant water there are millions of mosquitoes around the area (nothing the property owner can do). But these bloodsuckers made it challenging for us to figure out how to get the key from the lock box and open the main door. Some minor annoyances though- one of the toilets didn’t flush, no dishwasher pods, the water hose that’s there to wash off beach sand has extremely low pressure and the mosquitoes start attacking you while waiting for that low pressure water to wash of sand. Over all this is a nice property, maybe we chose the wrong time of the year to visit and provide treats for the mosquitoes. It’s better to carry a mosquito repellent.
