Photos and Description of the Surfside Beach vacation house rental
3 BR, 2 BA, Sleeps 12

Explore miles of sand, surf the waves, fish the abundant waters of the Gulf of Mexico, or just sit back and enjoy the spectacular view. Whether you enjoy the more active type of vacation, or if you just want to take time out and relax, The Starfish Beach House in Surfside Beach, Texas is the perfect selection. We have it all: beaches, surfing, birding, fishing, shelling, golf, boating, and of course relaxing with friends and family.

The Starfish Beach House offers the finest in location, amenities, and value. We are located just 50 yards from the beach with nothing in between to block the magnificent view of the Gulf of Mexico. With a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, and a top-notch entertainment center with a Karaoke Machine, this truly is the perfect place for affordable rest, relaxation, and fun.

Surfside Beach is located just an easy hour and ten minute drive South of Houston, Texas, on Texas Highway 288 (not much traffic). Timewise, Surfside Beach is the closest beach to Houston, and the easiest to get to. Transportation costs make up a greater portion of the total expense of a vacation now more than ever before, and Surfside Beach is the least expensive to get to. For out of towners, Hobby Airport on the South side of Houston, with many airline carriers, makes air travel both convenient and economical. Just rent a car at the airport and drive on down!

A great vacation close to home!

My family and I had so much fun New Years Eve weekend. The hot tub was wonderful to sit in and watch the stars. We have rented beach houses for this weekend before but this has been our favorite. We will be back.

Owner's Response: Thanks for spending your New Year's Holiday at the Starfish, sounds like you got 2008 off to a good start! We look forward to having your group back again real soon! Sorry, we had to remove the hot tub, just too many cleaning and maintenance issues.

This was our first trip to Surfside (we are normally Galveston beach-goers), but it will not be our last. The house is just beautiful and the owner is a pleasure to work with. We had a March birthday weekend for family and everyone from teenagers to senior citizens had a wonderful time. The weather cooperated beautifully and the views from the deck were amazing. Good thing we brought lots of sunscreen because it was hard to pry anyone from the deck or the beach - we hardly spent any time inside except to sleep! The house is decorated very nicely, is super clean and has everything you would need already there. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would not hesitate to rent this property again in the future.

Had a great time at the Starfish! Home was equipped with everything you need, great front-row location and very spacious. Owner is very easy to work with.

The hot tub topped it all off and was perfect at night under the stars.

AWESOME BEACH HOUSE FOR A RELAXING FAMILY VACATION

5 of 5
Submitted: July 4, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The house was so great. The 4 grandkids ages 5-9 had a wonderful time. It is just as described but so much better. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals.

Galen was so easy to work with any problems. After booking the original dates, I realized there was a conflict and he fixed it and let us reserve different dates.

My son was using a butane cooker on the deck for a shrimp boil and two of the boards got on fire. Galen handled the situation in a very professional manner and was so prompt on getting someone over to see about getting the boards replaced. We were so thankful that it was only two boards and no one was injured and that someone was there when it happened and immediate put the flame out. And believe we will never using the cooker except on the ground again.

The hot tub was so great and we loved having it to relax in. We could never figure out to get to heat the water but being July in Texas-it was not cold and it was refreshing to just sit and relax. The kids loved it as well.

The water is not good to drink so you must bring/buy your own water and ice. I thought this would be a pain but really was no big deal. There is a small store close by that has fairly good prices on anything you might need that you forgot or need.

The beach area is quiet and the all kids big and little enjoyed it. It was not crowded even being a holiday week. It is well patrolled by the local police and there was no problem with cars going up and down it fast.

There is a massive collection of DVD to suit everyone's taste. There are games to play but with all the gadgets kids have today-no one played them. There is plenty of dishes and all the cooking utensils we needed. There are plenty of towels and having the washer and dryer was great. We kept them washed up and had the last load in the dryer the morning we left.

This is a great beach house. This is the second year we have rented a beach house for us and our two kids and their spouses and four grandkids. We had total of 6 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room. We all loved this one much better than the one last year and the beach area as well.

If you are looking for a great get away from the everyday busy life and need a place to just go relax, I recommend this house to you-you will enjoy it and want to go back again.

Happy vacation to all.
Owner's Response: Surfide is such an undiscovered treasure, and our house is right on the beach, with all the comforts of home, unfortunately we had to remove the hot tub because of maintenance and cleaning issues.
