    Beach bungalow with multiple decks, just a short walk to the beach

    Colorful and vibrant, this two-bedroom bungalow in Surfside Beach was designed for families or groups of friends. With two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a barbeque patio, a rooftop deck, and a spacious great room that’s perfect for entertaining— your crew will love to hang out here and relax by the shore. For a casual afternoon lunch or happy hour cocktail, check out nearby Sharkies On The Beach. And when you’re ready to hit the sand, the Surfside Beach access point is a quick walk away.

    NOTE: Our cancellation policy will remain firm in all circumstances. Please ensure you are able to travel prior to booking, or purchase travel insurance to protect your trip investment.

    Location: Surfside Beach community of Galveston, Texas

    Beach Access: Surfside Beach is a quick walk or drive away.

    Pet Policy: Up to 2 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if planning on bringing your furry friend to Galveston!

    Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

    Age Requirement: You must be 24+ to book.

    On the main level, the spacious living and dining areas are completely open— perfect for large groups and families to gather. An entire wall of light-filled windows reflects off the gleaming wood floors and floods the room with natural sunshine. A plump, bright blue sofa, oversized armchair, dining table, and futon create plenty of lounging and socializing space. A flatscreen television is mounted against a navy blue focal wall— ideal for hosting a family film festival with a big bowl of popcorn.

    An island with casual bar seating for two leads into the kitchen. Efficiently designed and professionally decorated, this small but mighty kitchen is a powerhouse. Packed with all the essentials, your whole crew will love to linger here in the mornings while waiting for the coffee to brew. Gorgeous open shelving, custom blue cabinets, and stainless steel appliances complete the chic space.

    Tons of Flexible Sleeping Spaces:

    Just off the living area, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and a twin-over-twin-size bunk bed. The master bathroom has wood paneling detail and a step-in shower. A second bedroom is the bunkhouse— with three twin-over-full-size bunks and a twin trundle bed. The bunkhouse also has a 4K 55-inch flatscreen television that creates a fun hang out space for the kiddos. Another full bathroom can be accessed from the hallway and has a tub/shower combo.

    A Rooftop Deck:

    The epic outdoor spaces include two sun-drenched decks with peekaboo ocean views. The main level deck space has an outdoor dining table for serving memorable family dinners at sunset. Upstairs, the rooftop deck is perfect for sunning or star gazing. On the ground level, there’s a charcoal grill and lots of lawn space for outdoor games.

    On nights when you don’t feel like cooking, there are a few beachside restaurants within a short drive away. And for an exciting afternoon of fun and games— take the whole gang to Pleasure Pier. This Texas Gulf Coast bungalow is the perfect combination of location, convenience, and comfort. The beachy vacay you’ve been dreaming about starts right here.

    BEWARE! Property is run down, dirty doesn't match photos
    The photos showed a very nice updated home but upon arrival, we immediately noticed the home was run down and in need of updates and repairs. Outside, the paint was peeling/flaking off on the sides and all deck areas. Piles of chipped off paint in the entry way. The housing siding falling off in areas. The front window screens are ripped up, and the PARADISE house name had fallen off. Inside the house, the kitchen was literally falling apart. The drawers were coming apart and none of the kitchen outlets worked. The shelves that hold the dishes and glasses are covered in a layer of dust. The refrigerator does not get cold and is dirty. The dinning room is unusable because the table & chairs are jammed into a corner. Only one person could sit at the table. Not very convenient for 4 people trying to eat a meal. The power outlets made our phone chargers very hot. The window blinds and window sills in the family room had BLACK MOLD growing on them. The shades would not close so the entire house was lit up from the neighbors flood lights at night. The master bedroom door is so warped it will not close. The bathroom light was burnt out. All the closets smell bad. The beds had sand and bug droppings on the sheets and pillows. House smells like bug spray. Furniture is old and damaged. Our trip was ruined from staying in this house. The photos are obviously several years old and do not match the actual home condition. Worst rental experience ever!

    NOT adult family ready
    When we booked the house we stated that we had 6 adults, confirmed with the owner that we had 6 adults. There were no pots or pans bigger than a quart size, only 4 forks and no spoons. Previous renters food was still in the freezer. Disappointed that I could not feed my family as planned. House itself and the neighbors were great.

    Great for a large family
    This house suited my family perfectly. We were a large group in town for my sister's wedding and it was the perfect size for my siblings and our children. The deck was large and the location is great.

    Our stay was overall Pretty awesome, we Loved visiting the beach, and the neighborhood was awesome, however, the house was in poor Condition, when we arrived there was a dead rat by the grill, there were roaches all through the kitchen, the blinds in the living room look like they haven’t been dusted in years, the cabinets in the kitchen were falling apart, and part of the siding on the outside was falling off as well. We would definitely go back to surfside, just won’t stay at this property ever again.
