Caisson Cottage - Cozy Home a Short Walk to the Beach

Relax with the family in this cozy cottage at the center of Surfside Beach, TX. Comb the beach for shells, bird-watch and take in the slow-roll of Island Life as you get to know this quaint little beach town. Your family will have what they need with a fully-equipped kitchen, sectional to veg out on, and two full bathrooms. The open layout of this home makes family time seem natural and easy. This home is elevated like all the homes in Surfside and requires access up a flight of stairs.

Pros 1. The cleaners seemed to do a good job. The house was pretty clean. The only thing we noticed was trash under the couch and between the couch cushions and the dishes in the cupboards were dirty/rusty. 2. The beds and couches are very comfortable. The furniture worked well for our family with the bunk beds. We did need more bedding. The beds only had a sheet and thin bedspread. Cons 1. The water quality in this home/area is terrible. The water smells very bad and leaves an odor on your skin. The property has what looks like a water softener system, but either it is not working or is not enough. We did not feel like we were able to get a good shower the whole time and had to brush our teeth with bottled water. 2. Much of the home needs repair, the doors won’t fully open from hitting the floor, a cabinet door is missing, lots of the fixtures are rusted, the deck has nails sticking up and needs paint/repair, paint is peeling from the walls in the bathroom, etc. 3. It is also not “near” the beach. It’s at least a 1/2 to 2/3 of a mile walk. So we had to drive to the beach. Overall, it met our needs but we were not that comfortable. We would not recommend this rental unless the water issue is resolved for sure and many repairs are made.

This cottage was perfect for our group. My husband & I stayed 7 days & my son, his fiancé & my 5 year old granddaughter came down just for the first weekend. There was a perfect amount of space, everything we needed, close to stores & restaurants and right between the pedestrian beach & the jetty.

We had a great time. We had a problem with toilet and with tub being stopped up. We reported it immediately. We got taken care immediately. The only complaint was a water hole that was a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

The place was great. Clean and well equipped to cook a nice meal. The place was nice and cold after a long sun filled day. I slept so peacefully. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

My fiancé, son, and daughter stayed at this super cute beach house for two nights. House was exactly as described, which fit our needs exactly - convenient location, and comfy furnishings. Quiet, serene neighborhood that made having my morning coffee on the patio a dream - who wouldn't enjoy starting their day to the sounds of the gulf?! Next time we visit Surfside, we will definitely lookto rent this house again!

A nice location, walkable distance to the beach. A bit farther than it was shown on the map at the time I was making a reservation, though: bring a wagon with you to put your kids’ stuff, or take a short car ride. Car parking place is in a shade, outdoor shower worked well. The air conditioner stopped cooling on the second day, but this issue was promptly resolved after we notified the host. Charming decorations and cleanness. Kids enjoyed the atmosphere. Thank you

This is not a property I would ever recommend. We showed up to dirty sheets and a pile of wet towels on the bathroom floor. There was food in the sink and dirty knives. Animal hair throughout the house. So we had to do laundry and dishes as soon as we arrived. Why is there a cleaning fee? Also the water is has sulfur in it. I bet that a lot of properties on the island are like this, but we didn’t have bottled water with us when we arrived after a long journey. Visitors should be warned about this. Nothing was provided that is typical. There is no potable water, soap, shampoo or dishwasher soap. I guess guests are expected to bring all of these. This is more like a cheap youth hostel.
