The Space


Living Spaces:

That massive sectional sofa is the thing dreams are made of. Stretch out in plush comfort as you’re watching a favorite show or long-awaited movie on the 65” HDTV with WiFi. Or curl up on the cozy side chair with your book or mobile device.

Feeling a little more active? Challenge a friend or family member to a board game, shuffleboard tournament, or arcade marathon on the gaming table. Play nice!


Cooking & Dining:

The chef is going to love this dreamy kitchen! With seafoam green cabinets, stainless steel appliances, nifty subway tile backsplash, and lots of modern styling like floating shelves, you’ll be cooking in style here.

The breakfast bar with seating for 3 makes it easy to enjoy your coffee and bagel in the morning and keep the chef company at mealtime. And because coffee is the best part of the morning, our coffee bar is complete with both a single cup and full pot Keurig, along with complimentary coffee pods. We even provide a little “welcome” snack selection!

Enjoy those delicious culinary creations at the alfresco dining table. What could be better than dinner with a view (and a breeze)?


Sleeping Accommodations and Bathrooms:

With accommodations for up to 14 guests, you’ll definitely be able to find the spot that speaks to you!


Two primary suites each feature king-size beds. The first also has some great "Titanic" decor, a ceiling fan, two lights for the late-night readers, and a TV. The ensuite bath has a huge walk-in shower.

The second has a rustic-chic decor theme, with amazing windows all the way around, a TV, and dual nightstands and lamps. Best of all, private access to the deck. Late-night glass of wine, anyone? The ensuite bath has a walk-in shower.


Next up is a guest room with two queen beds, ceiling fan, beach “wave” color scheme, TV, and a corner armchair for some alone time, with your book, journal, phone, or maybe just your thoughts.

Last but not least is the kid's bunk room with two queens and two doubles. It’s got a ship’s berth theme going on that the kids will love. It’s also got two ceiling fans, a TV, and plenty of storage cubbies.

These two rooms share a full bath with an oversized walk-in shower. The additional half-bath is in the living area.


We offer a full-size washer and dryer for our guest’s convenience.



Outdoor Amenities:


We offer plenty of outdoor fun to make your trip truly memorable. There’s seating on both decks with great water views, perfect for sipping on a beverage while hanging out with friends and family! Host a family barbecue on the ground level with the gas grill located under the house. The picnic tables even have built-in drink coolers - they’re really convenient (and cool!).


While you’re waiting for the burgers and veggies, play a game of ping pong or corn hole. We’ve even got a firepit for roasting marshmallows and telling stories! And when you get home from the beach (or really anytime you want) take advantage of the enclosed outdoor shower. You’ll love it! Oh, and speaking of the beach, we’ve got a whole shed full of chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and more for you to use.


The yard is completely fenced to keep the kids and doggos safe.

ABOUT

Josh & Laurie

surfsidesurprise@gmail.com

Hello! We are Josh and Laurie and we’re thrilled that you’ve chosen Surfside Surprise as your vacation destination.


We lived in Texas for almost 6 years and absolutely loved taking long weekend getaways to one of America's most underrated and lessor known beaches!


Tired of the same old cookie-cutter vacation homes with rattan furniture and no style or pizzazz? So were we! So we designed Surfside Surprise to be anything but! Its name is because we literally have a surprise everywhere you turn in this designer-decorated beach house. Like shuffleboard behind the couch in the living room. And an infinity gaming table with dozens of games, including digital versions of nearly every board game. Real surfboards on the wall and original life rings in the "Titanic Room" from the era.


Besides Surfside Surprise, a couple of our great loves are (not surprisingly) travel, and the beach! We also enjoy hunting, fishing, and skiing on both the water and the land!


Welcome to Surfside Beach! We’re glad you’re here.

REVIEWS

This place far exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail throughout the home is amazing and very well thought out. From the super comfortable beds to the oversized family couches to the wonderful breezes on multiple outdoor sitting decks, we enjoyed it all. We had a party of 10 people and felt there was ample space to allow for comfort (and seclusion when needed) for a large group. Moreover, this could also be a great place for a smaller party based on the ideal layout of the floor plan. What we liked most were the many activities at the home which allowed our family to bond and remain entertained without ever leaving the property. I would also like to add that Josh’s responses to my questions and requests were met with expeditious replies, all to which made us more comfortable with our choice for booking. You will find this property a gem. We are looking to begin an annual tradition at Surfside Surprise and will be back for sure!

Fantastic place to stay! Josh has thought of everything that is needed for you to just show up and enjoy the beach. One of the best experiences we’ve had renting. Super clean, very roomy, fun games for all ages and only a short walk to the beach. Our family will be back!


-Jay, July22

Gorgeous home, Josh and Laurie are AMAZING Hosts with such a gift for hospitality. The home is new with a beautiful open floor plan, the beds are super comfortable, location is a perfect walk or drive within minutes to the beach. The neighborhood is quiet. This home is totally stocked, they thought of EVERYTHING, the decor is so tasteful, plenty of games to play indoors and outdoors, the home is new and extremely clean. The views from the decks are PHENOMENAL!! We just can’t wait to be back!!


-Brent July22

Surfside Surprise is a phenomenal beach house for your next visit to Surfside, TX! Don’t miss a home that truly has it all. Well equipped kitchen, stocked linens, & games for all ages. We truly enjoyed the in home activities; ping pong, corn hole, & gaming console. Layout is perfect for large families & two primary suites. Very easy stroll to the beach & great location. Our family will be back!


-Maritza, July22

The house was AWESOME! We have stayed in tons of rental properties throughout the country and this was the most well-equipped by far. Josh was also fantastic with communication when we had a couple questions. The location was very convenient to the beach (we could park a truck on the beach but also walk back and forth to the house via the beach walkover access just down the street) and the fenced in yard was a huge bonus for our pups. All of the extra beach supplies provided made it so easy for us to just pack a few bags for our vacation instead of having to haul all of the beach supplies with us from home. Thanks so much for providing such a great place to stay...we will definitely be back!
