When you consider the location and quality of these Surfside Beach, Texas beach houses, they are very reasonably priced.

They are big and roomy. Even our smallest beach house will be more comfortable than a condominium or a suite in a hotel. Time wise, these beach houses are closer to Houston than a beach house in Galveston. They will provide you with years of pleasant memories.

(c) Second row on Pedestrian (car free) Beach.
(d) At San Luis Pass – 10 miles past Surfside (towards Galveston).
(e) Front Row. Single lane, 15 mph street between house and beach. No houses are in front of you. The rental agencies call this "beach front". We think "front row" is more accurate.

Week Day Special: Monday afternoon through Friday morning for the same price as a weekend.

Sales Taxes —

All prices are plus a Hotel-Motel Tax of 10%. (Galveston's Hotel-Motel Tax rate is 15%, and this difference can add up to several dollars. For example, on an $899 rental at Surfside the tax will be $89.90; at Galveston it would be $134.85. But, it could be worse. Houston is now 17%.)

Considerations when renting off of the “front row” —

Most people prefer staying on either the “front row” or on Beach Drive (the street that parallels the Pedestrian Beach). But, walking a few blocks to the beach can save you quite a bit of money. To get to the beach from these off of the “front row” houses --
- Blue Heron — Walk one block, cross Bluewater Highway (two lanes and 40 mph), walk one more block and you will be on the beach.
- Captain's Lookout — Walk three blocks (you'll cross two village streets) and you're on the beach.
- Captain's Quarters — Walk 600 yards (3/10^th mile) and you're on the beach.

You will not have a beach for your front yard.

The Blue Heron property is built up, but it is next to the tidal salt flats and you will often have water standing on the lots next to you. This location is very attractive to large coastal birds. There is a good possibility of viewing Pelicans, Blue Herons, Spoonbills, Egrets, etc. etc.
Buccaneer, Captain's Quarters and Captain's Lookout have a St. Augustine yard (like in Houston).
