Napping is highly encouraged and sometimes unavoidable!

Sit back and take in God's glory year-round where you may teased by uninhibited hummingbirds and huge pelicans that seem to hover overhead.

After indulging your lazy self in the hammock, stroll down the private walk-over bridge and dip your toes in the ocean or swim out to enjoy the incoming waves.

Surfside is home to some of the best surf fishing, beach combing, shelling, boating and swimming. If that sounds too exhausting then hang out on the deck, under the deck or kick back at the beach.

The Palmores were pleased!!

We rented this beach house to stay in for the family reunion at Stahlman Park. The house was nice just as pictured. I loved the decor…. It was the smallest of things that I enjoyed like the glitter in the upstair bathroom walls. The kitchen had everything I needed to make my potato salad for the reunion. The distance to the beach was perfect!! If I could change anything about the house and location I wouldn’t!! The whole family was pleased. The owner personally reached out to us and gave us tips and gave us her number in case we needed her. We did not have to bother her because everything was perfect!!!

Family/friends Beach Front Stay

Wonderful stay! We were four couples with children all under 4. The house was well equipped for kids, had a stocked kitchen, and was an easy few steps from the beach. It was everything we were looking for. A few things we especially appreciated: good outdoor shower/hosing setup, baby gate available in the house, charcoal grills outside, gated patio, outlet covers. A few minor things we noted: not much available cutlery (we’d brought our own plasticware so no affect on us), one room had an open area to downstairs (covered by shades) making it pretty loud for the baby there. Overall beautiful, clean house with everything we needed.

More positive than negative

Our family enjoyed our stay but a few things need repair and the outside siding needs washing. First floor bathtub faucet needs attention to work correctly. Stains on ceiling in the living room, and the front door is swollen and rubs. The decks were great with chairs to sit in to enjoy the view of the water. The air conditioning kept the house cold. Ample supply of kitchen dishes, pots and pans and utensils but the kitchen table was very sticky. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We would consider staying there again if these minor changes and repairs were made.

The location to beach was amazing!! I was a little disappointed in the house. Pictures looked different. Definitely needs to be painted and toilets and showers need to be cleaned from stains. Overall we all had a great time and made great memories. Thanks again.😀

Family vacation

Great location, easy beach access. Plenty of room for my family (8 adults, 3 children). Big deck overlooking beach with latches on gates so 1 year old grandson could roam all he wanted. Only problem we had was the dishwasher didn’t do a good job of cleaning but we just hand washed everything wasn’t that big of deal would definitely rent again

Family Vacation Gift

The property was just OK. Not worth the price. The pictures need to be updated this property is not newly renovated. Hammock was rusted in place and 4 inches off the ground. The small table and chairs pictured not on property. There was a Broken Liquid Candle holder attached to the table where a umbrella would've been nice to have. The deck is not new and there are boards missing/Gap from the lower level ramp. There are Rusty Screws protruding from the outdoor shower that my grand baby stepped on. The Walkway is advertised as private however is shared with the neighbor. There is no under patio swing as showing in the pictures and the sand box is far from full of sand to play in. The outside plastic chairs downstairs are all cracked and weathered our daughter sat in one and it broke on both sides she hit her head hurt her back and was stabbed by the back arm portion of the chair. The tiles and grout in the front door area are all broke and shift when you walk on them. The listing say's there are 3 bathrooms which is also false as 1 of them was just a small spot under the stairs with a toilet and sink no shower. All toilets very rusty. House smelled of mold & mildew. Ceiling had spots on it where it had leaked and there was rust and thick dust all around the ceiling vents in every room. The coffee pot had almost 1/4 of an inch of dust on it. Not sure why we are paying for the cleaning fee if it is not being cleaned. Knifes very dull utensils in kitchen covered in rust

This house had plenty of room for 9 adults. We loved the proximity to the beach. We did have to go buy toilet paper, but it’s not the end of the world. Also, bring a mosquito repellent if you plan to be outdoors.

Great view and beach access

Very clean, well furnished and plenty of space. Weather was cold so we all mostly stayed inside. Storm blew off underside eve panel hitting one of the cars. Stairs are old and very slippery when wet. Overall, great stay. Would recommend a good power wash outside and ceiling under house.

Spacious, cozy, convenient beach fun!

We are a group of three families with small children, and this was a wonderful house for a beach weekend. With the beach just down the walkway, it was as easy as it gets getting little kids out there. There are two convenient foot rinses and a full shower to get clean on the way back. And the porch is super relaxing for people-watching and enjoying the sea breezes. This is a great rental property for families!

We had a wonderful stay at the house enjoying the close walk to the beach, short drive to restaurants and relaxing on the 2 decks listening to the ocean.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia Garza

Mark and I have had a beach house at Surfside Beach since 2011 and loved it so much we purchased our first investment property as an oceanfront beach house rental.

We are both native Texans! Mark enjoys fishing the bays for reds, trout & flounder. He also enjoys working on our beach houses and has completed many projects on the properties from building decks, fences, showers, adirondack chairs and picnic tables.

While I love fishing too, I enjoy the beach and shelling. As often as possible I enjoy making and creating coastal art for our homes, friends and family. I love my friends at the beach and we consider ourselves the "Surfside Beach Family".

Surfside Beach has a special place in our heart and has brought much happiness, peace and serenity into our lives.

WE ARE HAPPY AND BLESSED TO SHARE OUR HOME WITH YOU.

Why they chose this property

We love Surfside Beach for many reasons. Among the reasons why we love this village is because the environment is quaint, quiet, warm and charming.

The locals here are friendly and down-to-earth.

Our lovely beach house has been provisioned with everything you need during your stay. We go further to give our guests the best amenities available.

Mark and I have put a lot of time, love and attention into creating an environment that we hope our guests will appreciate and treasure during their vacation stay.

When you walk in the door we hope you find a warm, friendly and peaceful feeling that invites you to come in and stay awhile!

What makes this property unique

Hands Down, this property has the best view ever! You can sit on the expansive deck or meander down the private bridge to dip your toes in the water or park a beach chair in the sand and take it all in! From the views on multi-level decks, the private bridge, outdoor hot/cold water show to the comfortable indoors, this is the beach house vacation you've waited for!
