House is in a great location and has plenty of space for multiple families. You canât beat the view on the back deck and itâs a very short walk to beach. Bring bottled water and ice because fridge/freezer does not have ice and water dispenser doesnât work. Would definitely stay here again!
For the past 15 years our family has taken the children to Surfside beach as a reward for working hard during the school year. The pandemic halted our tradition for 2 years and this year we were able to gather together again and the children enjoyed it to the utmost. The house was spacious and very accommodating. The short walk to the beach was the highlight for the kids from sunrise to sunset. The view was awesome from the upper deck.
Thank you Jerry our family could not have asked for a better weekend
Amazing 4th of July week - with 4 families in this AMAZING HOUSE!!
The house was Amazing and spacious. Stayed a week. We had 4 adult couples each with a few kids each. The owner was quick to respond to questions and very helpful and knowledgeable. No issues at all. Everything was clean. Plenty of trash bins which you simply set out to the street at the end of the driveway. Stress free and beautiful.
My family & extended family has rented beach houses at Surfside, TX every June for over 40 years, except 2020:(
âModern Breezeâ is one of the best large homes, on the best part of Surfside beach, Seahorse Estates. It is a very clean, fresh & updated house with all the amenities youâll need: great AC, nice kitchen, clean comfortable furniture, internet & big TV, BBQ, hair dryers, and fresh towels & linens. Jerry is a great communicator and answers quickly for whatever you may need.
The house does have driving beach in front, but it is not generally crowded like the heart of Surfside beach has become on weekends in recent years. Texas has preserved all coastline for public use, and while some areas can get crowded, I am glad that Surfside beach is accessible to all the people of Texas. The county grooms the sand and itâs a nice beach with good folks all around you. Mosquito control measures are taken but definitely bring your mosquito repellent!
I canât say enough good things about the house - bed descriptions are accurate. Porch seating is great - overlooking the Texas coast.
Thank you Jerry for another wonderful family reunion stay.
Lovely property that comfortably accommodated our 22 member family. Direct private access to beach is priceless plus! Owner was very responsive to questions. Well laid out home. Especially considering we arrived a week after a major hurricane, home was in excellent shape.
We had a very enjoyable family time together @ Thanksgiving which was also our family Christmas. Other than the dishwasher not working & a leak in the entrance ceiling, we had a very enjoyable time.
Had some problems with Refrigerator. Owner reimbursed for lost food and brought in a new refrigerator great communication with him. House was big had plenty of space for everyone. Cleaners could do a little better cleaningâŠ.. but overall was a great stay would definately come back!
The house is wonderful. Comfortable. Great deck. LOTS of beds. Main room has a sweeping view of the gulf, large screen tv and extensive comfortable couch. Kitchen well appointed. Several bathrooms. We had a fantastic family gathering and would absolutely return.
The home was in a nice location and near Surfside, where there are groceries, restaurants and shopping. The home fit our family perfectly and we loved sitting on the deck with the beach just steps away. We loved the kitchen as it is decorated nicely and the amount of bar stools was a plus!! However the kitchen wasnât the cleanest, the refrigerator was not cleaned as it smelled horribly of fish and there was a pool of blood on one of the shelves. Also the former guests had thrown their cut up fish over the balcony into side yard. As for the beach, there was trash and trash bags laying up and down the beach and tarballs washed up onto beach. When you go out into the water, be prepared to have tar on you when you come out. House was great overall but beach was disappointing.
We had a blast for our weekend getaway. The house was nice and clean upon arrival. Great location right on the beach. Jerry was very responsive with any questions or concern. Only small issue was the trash situation in which policy should be updated soon because they now have trash bins instead of having to find a place to dispose of it. 5stars!
The downstairs bedroom was freezing cold which made my husband sick. The kitchen supplies were filthy had to wash all the dishes in order to cook. The microwave was also filthy not to mention the garbage disposal nasty. The freezer would not freeze which made all our food unthaw. Tried to reach out to the owner but he never resolved anything. He stop responding to my messages. Suggest that he hire people to properly maintain his home
Plenty of bedroom space for a large family.
Access to beach was convenient.
There was a problem with the laundry facility at first but the property manager took care of that.
The biggest problem was having to bring in bottled water for drinking/coffee since the tap water was very salty.
Over all, our family had an enjoyable time.
I found this property to be beautiful, clean with great amenities. Great home away. There were some concerns. The bar stools were lcoming loose. One actually came apart while someone was sitting in it. I had to remove 2 of the 4. The bathtubs drained slow and some of the sinks. Maybe a little drank would correct the problem. The chair leg on a chair in the master bedroom is bent inward which could break or cause a fall. There are safety hazards that the owner and the cleaning person both admitted to knowing about. She said he is going to make repairs when we spoken as we were leaving. The refrigerator freezer area leaked on the floor constantly. I had to put a towel down to prevent a slip and fall. This is another thing they knew about. The faucet on the outside wall dripped constantly causing water to puddle, the hose babe was broken. He texed asking that we park on the field side of the property because of septic system. It would be nice to have a sign stating that. Parking is one of the reason I choose the property. Theses are not major problems but could be if not corrected. Canât forget the trash situation. Having to haul all trash 6 miles away, a 12 mile trip to dump trash is horrible . You would have to have a pickup for this chore. This should be disclosed when property is being rented rather than at check in and out. I did reach out to the owner a second time and got no response. The beach view is amazing. It was spacies and I had everything you needed for cooking. Over all a beautiful property.
We rented the place for the bunk rooms, the beach access and the common space. The common space allowed our 20 guest group plenty of space to gather and eat. The beach access was very convenient with children and short legs! The bunk rooms also allowed the kids to have dedicated space. The 2 queen rooms are small so guests should plan accordingly. The water is disconnected to the fridge (which may have been mentioned in the description or another review but was not mentioned in the house rules which would have been helpful). Understandly the water is disconnected because, even filtered with a brita filter, it was very salty and undrinkable by the kids. Not a big deal just did not know this ahead of time and had to make extra store trips to get water and ice. Note the bar chairs/stools are very high, even for adults and unfortunately the step on the stool that would make getting on and off easier are very fragile. Recommend sturdier stools. Lastly, the owner was very helpful with the questions we had! We appreciated the houses many conveniences and definitely recommend staying here.
House is exactly as advertised. Plenty of space and a great living room area to hang out. All open space. We had 6 couples and everyone got their own room and bed. That is a rarity, most places you have to share space with others. Great view of the ocean and steps away from the beach. We will definitely be coming back. Jerry made it simple for us. It was an awesome home
We had our churchâs ladies retreat here. The main living room is even bigger than it looks in the picture, so our group sessions went great. We comfortably sat 22 and there were enough seats for everyone when we used the dining chairs. The beds were comfy! Even the bunk beds were a good size for our adults. The view is amazinggggg. The big windows in the living room made it relaxing even inside. I loved being right on the beach. Not too crowded on the beach but it is a drive on beach so I didnât love all the cars driving through but it was fine. They allowed us to have a later check out Sunday which was nice because it rained most of the weekend. The only thing I would change is a covered porch so you can still be outside and enjoy the beach some when itâs raining. But otherwise it was perfect! Communication was also prompt and pleasant! (Side note, might want to bring extra toilet paper. We ran out after 24 hours and had to go get some from a gas station. But everything else was well stocked! Loved that towels and kitchen supplies were all provided. So nice!) highly recommend this place and we will very likely be back! đ
Parents and kids (18 yr oldsâs) had a fun time celebrating the end of the school year.. all seniors. Plenty of room, kitchen was fully stocked w/all the things needed to cook and the grill was perfect for the Fajita feast.
This is our second time renting this property everything is just as described. We enjoyed our stay and the response was great with any problems we my have had. If your cold at night you my want to bring a comforter they have blankets but I needed more. Great place for Fam gatherings plenty of room
