Photos and Description of the Surfside Beach vacation house rental Bayhouse, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 12-14)

Note: Slight damage caused by hurricane Ike is taken care of, we're ready when you are...the fish are biting. Completed in June 2008, this home has two very large balconies facing Little Drum Bay. One is covered and the other is great for very private sunbathing. Watch the kids fish on the lighted pier while you gently sway in the futon hammock designed to hold two adults. Read your favorite book, nap or sip on your favorite drink while watching the spectacular sunsets. Inside you can relax in the spacious and open floor plan designed to accommodate groups of all sizes. The kitchen has all-stainless steel appliances. Gourmet cooks enjoy being able to prepare their favorite dishes, listening to their favorite music while gazing at the views of the bay. Three bedrooms are upstairs but one is downstairs for the occasional late night arrival or grandpa's snoring. Private boat launch next door means your vehicle and trailer are close. The beach is only 1.5 blocks away.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Surfside Beach, Texas

Load the chairs, umbrella and cooler onto the golf cart and putter over to the beach to build sand castles, wake board, surf-fish or just stroll along the beach. When you come home, there's an outdoor shower to cool you off. The pier is great for fishing for red drum, black drum, trout, or flounder. At the end of the day, you can play board games with the family, sit out under the stars, or watch a good movie on cable or DVD. But don't forget to watch the gorgeous sunsets over Little Drum bay or star-gazing while you fish at night on the pier. It can be an awesome time to spend with special people. There are a variety of other activities which include local restaurants, putt-putt golf, Moody Gardens, real golf, Schlitterbahn water park, the confederate air force museum, and The Strand, a world class shopping area in Galveston just minutes away. You won't find a better family vacation value with all these options.

Other Activities: Boating, Wildlife Viewing, Miniature golf, Shopping, Kayaking, Horseshoes

Renewal of the Soul

Jeff, Danielle, and Family Chicago, IL
Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We stayed at the Bayshore Star in April. The house is set up perfectly for large families or groups with a couple of small families staying. There were 12 of us and we had everything we needed and more. In the past we have gravitated toward beachfront homes for vacation but have decided after staying at the Bayshore that being on the bay topped any vacation we have taken. The kids have a perfect place to fish and crab and the views of the sunset are absolutely breathtaking. When the tide goes out there are multitudes of different species of birds wading around the oyster beds and of course the crabs we caught made for a fine dinner the night before our departure.

An additional plus for this property is its location. It is just a short walk or a quick ride on the golf cart to the beach. The beaches are serene and quiet. There were days when we were the only ones there. Perfect for splashing in the calm waters, laying in the sun, and flying kites high in the air. Even in April the water was warm enough to comfortably swim for long periods of time.

We would like to thank Don and Julie for sharing their wonderful home with us. We have made many memories that will last a life time and beyond and can't wait to get back for more.

In January we had a small church retreat and stayed at the Baystar. We loved the house - so compfortable, lots of room, and very beautiful. Our favorite place seemed to be the large back porch with rocking chairs. Its only a short walk to the beach. Lots of species of birds to watch from the back. The owners were very easy to contact and deal with. We will definitely plan our next retreat at the Baystar.

What a wonderful time I and all my guest had this past weekend. I was able to celebrate my 60th birthday at the Baystar and enjoyed every minute. The house is beautiful and has every item you would have in your own home. The bedrooms were very nice and everyone slept well. The added golf cart and canoe is a nice bonus. Thank you and can't wait to visit again.
