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 hotel. And, if you wish, you can invite your family or friends to join you. Time wise, these beach houses are closer to Houston than a beach house in Galveston. We believe they will provide you with years of memories.

To make these houses an excellent value for families, or church and business groups we have decorated and furnished them very nicely. But, because of the quality of our houses, we can not rent for parties or to minors.

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 the “front row”. 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 --
  • Pelican Place and 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.
  • Pelican Place and Blue Heron have salt grasses growing on either side of them. Although both lots are built up, they are next to the tidal salt flats and you will often have water standing on the lots next to you. These locations are very attractive to large coastal birds. There is a good possibility of viewing Pelicans, Blue Herons, Spoonbills, Egrets, etc. etc.
  • Captain's Quarters and Captain's Lookout have a St. Augustine yard (like in Houston).
