The Neighborhood:
🏝️ We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.
Surfside Beach water is of poor quality to drink or cook with. Please feel free to bring your own bottled water for consumption. You may also bring a container(s) that can be filled at City Hall located at 1304 Monument Dr. Surfside Beach, TX 77541.
Other Things to Note:
HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:
The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!
🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY:
Bring Fido! We welcome your furry friend (aka family member). 1 x well-behaved dog allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per stay.
WIFI/TV SERVICE:

While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area.

The property was fantastic! Can’t beat the location. We really enjoyed it. The shower in the bathroom was extremely small. Other than that, which was a small thing in the big picture, (pun intended) we absolutely loved it!
We had a great stay at this beach house! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The beach was just steps away, which made it super convenient. We’re already looking forward to coming back again!
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay. The condo is as close to the beach as you can get and has all the essentials. We walked to a nearby bar and grill for some excellent sea food and spent most of our trip on the beach directly

Perfect getaway for some alone time or for a couple. Excellent deck for relaxing and enjoying the Gulf views. Direct access to the beach is a big plus. Clean and quiet. Communication was excellent.

We were literally on the sand of the beach. The view was stunning. We will happily return.
Second time at this property. Cold and wet weather set in but did not dampen our time. Had the place and the beach mostly to ourselves. Easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. Overall a solid getaway.
Love being able to walk off the deck right into the sand. Condo is clean. Linens are very nice. Communication with management is good. This was our second stay.
We stayed during the recent tropical storm. Had really high tides, but we were lucky and did not flood. Beautiful location right on the beach! Needs a little updating for the price, but we enjoyed our stay. Need to be more forth coming with pet fees. Listing was vague about fees and costs. Cost an extra $220 for my two small pups that was charged after I booked and had already paid for my stay.
We enjoyed 4 nights here. It is right on the beach and we had fun resting and playing. The dishes were dirty, a stair was broken and the bed squeaked so bad it was barely any sleep. The futon is really small and only space for one person. The management fixed the stair and apologized for the dirty dishes. No luck on sleeping though. The condo was otherwise clean and free of mold (often a problem at the beach). It was quite sufficient for our needs.

Good morning,Firstly, I would like to say that this had a GREAT location, right on the beach so I would give this part 5 stars.BUTthe accommodation was poor to say the least:Greatly in need of maintenance and being cared for.BATHROOMExtractor fan not workingToilet seat needs replacing- very wornShower head poorCaulking around bath tub needs replacingToilet handle needs attention, tightening Small hole in wallTowel rail will soon break off wallBathroom door does not closeSITTING ROOMI have photos of large hole in wall, ceiling peeling and poor painting if you need themSmoke Alarm does not work- major violation of codesDining room table leg is missing an adjustable footKITCHENDraining Rack needs replacingStove VERY old, burner off kilt, oven door not closing correctlyHole in wall.I understand from Neighbor that the washing machine was faulty but we did not useI think that the price was too high for the condo seeing that all these repairs are clearly not new and lack of spending by the owner.
We enjoyed our first stay in Surfside. The condo is steps from the beach. The area is quiet, quaint and family friendly. It is not a big condo, good for a couple. Glen Rose, Texas
Very clean and great location on the beach. Guest should understand that there are neighbors in the 6-unit building. The shower is small but does the job.
