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.

The location of Phoenix Rising is great for walking to the beach and watching the sunrise and set. The layout of the house is perfect for 2 adult couples with 2 bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. Hosts provides basic items for bathroom and kitchen.
Everything was great even though this area had just suffered a hurricane blow. It’s understandable that property owners cannot control pick-up of debris piles out in front of properties. Management always worked with us on anything that came up. We had to extend our stay 3 times due to a death in our family in town while we were there. The house was great and had nice views too. The house is kept nice and everything in working order. Thank you for a great stay!!
House was nice. There were a few things I wish I’d known before going. There was no toddler plates or eating wear. And the baby gate that was in the house was broken. We bought our own to help keep our kiddos safe. We have a 1.5 and 3.5 year old. Also the listing shown that there was a bathtub. In one of the room's there is a bathtub, but it doesn’t hold water and the stopper is completely unattached from the tub. So my kids hated bath time and screamed each and every time we had to shower. The garbage disposal in the kitchen did not work and the sink on that side did not drain. The broom that is there has seen better days and I’d love to have swept the sand more often, but it was a pain. Over all it was a great stay and had a great time. Beds were comfy. Living area spacious. Could see the beach from the couch. Amazing views from all four decks. My kids loved the wooden blocks and played with them often. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Great location with 3 min walk to beach. House was nice but pictures make rooms seem larger. Under rooms descriptions the wording seems that there is a bath/shower in each room. One is down stairs.
Fully stocked for cooking and eating but bring paper plates as most of the dishes are glass.
Oh... and the water there smells bad and the water dispenser in the living room was not working and not fit for drinking so don't forget to bring plenty of bottled water.
Broken figurine on livingroom table... I took a pic to prove we didn't break it. A/C and fans kept it nice and cool.
Beds were comfy.
The house does not supply any beach equipment so bring chairs, beach cart etc. Beach bar was great fun... and you can hear the bands from the back deck.
Overall... had agreat bday weekend.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We love Surfside! The location was great with easy beach access down the street. The multiple decks were amazing for enjoying beach views without sand. However, with this property being pet friendly it would have been helpful to have a permanent swinging gate on the main deck.
Several maintenance issues were unappealing. The outside shower head had a lot of algae growing off of it. The tub/shower faucet in one of the upstairs bedrooms was corroded and made it impossible to turn the shower head off and run bath water. The water sprayer in the kitchen sink also could not be used due to corrosion.
Even though the booklet inside said that professional pest treatment is used at the house we saw too many live roaches in the kitchen to believe that.
If you are wanting a beach themed house this is not for you, as the house is decorated more like a rental in NOLA.
Check in was very easy and smooth. Kitchen facilities were adequate. Location was awesome - very close to beach!Cleanliness was ok, there was carpet upstairs (which seems odd for a beach house) that definitely needed cleaning. It was very old and spotted. Otherwise ok.
Comfortable and clean, nice space. Great location. Thanks for the stay. If I had any complaint it would be the bed pillows are very firm, but that's on me, I need to travel with my own.

Cozy welcoming home.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Bedrooms are a good size. Large living area that we didn’t feel crowded. Very calming and peaceful place to stay. Great for families! Terrific views of the ocean.
Good property for people on a budget. If you are looking for an absolutely prestine property, this is not it. However, it is a great value and the aesthetics did not impact our ability to have a great time there.
Our stay could not have been better except if we owned the property ourselves!! Everything was clean, comfortable and inviting. Plans for next summer are already underway.
It had everything we could possibly need and more. My only complaint is that the upstairs could have been cooler. It pretty much stayed warm up there all times. Other then that it was a great house!
Property was well furnished, tastefully decorated, and close to the beach. Water softener and water dispenser were definitely appreciated. Overall cleanliness was good, not great, but cleaning materials were available. Definitely would book again!
We had amazing time celebrating our son’s 18th birthday with a couple of friends. The rental was clean and had everything we needed. It’s very relaxing and laid back. Thank you for such a wonderful time.
The beach house had everything we needed--tableware, dishes, pots/pans, toaster, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, water filtration system, stacked washer/dryer, grill, linens, towels, WIFI, margarita machine--plus nice ocean views. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, there was plenty of space for 4 adults and a child and 2 dogs. Short walk to the beach; several local restaurants within walking distance. About 1-5 hours drive (for us)makes this an ideal destination for a last-minute trip for a long weekend.

Everything was excelent, just a few issues, at the end wonderful place
Coffe maker did not work, there was a really dirty cup and there was no enough beds for 8 people, but that will not stop me to rent the house agai.
We rented this house for a long weekend. The photos don't really give you the feeling of house close to the beach you are at this property. It is just a few minutes walk (if that) from the beach. There's no need to take EVERYTHING to the beach, as you can easily go back and grab things as you want/need them. The house is perfect for a family. It would work well for two or three couples that want to rent a place. All three bedrooms have queen beds, so one couple wouldn't be stuck in bunk beds, as is often the case on beach homes. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything you will need and more. Check-in was very easy and painless. A/C is good enough to keep up with the Texas heat. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

The Phoenix Rising beach house was a wonderful place to stay, we would love to stay there again in the future. We enjoyed our time there immensely. Very close to the beach for walking as well as seeing the waves from the balconies. Set up presentation when we first entered the house was very welcoming and perfect beach vibes! Reallly appreciated the cleanliness and classy deco of the interior of the house.
There were a few problems with the wifi, and a broken bannister railbracket up the stairs inside the house, also some unsafe railings that had weathered loose on the decks outside. However, we did alert the proprietors of these problems and they responded and fixed these issues very quickly.
Overall house conditions: The 3rd bedroom with the bath does need to have new fixtures for the bathtub, because you cannot change the shower head to flow into the bath spigot of the bathtub, it is frozen from corrosion, so water will only come out through the shower head. Also the drain and plug will not hold water for a proper bath. Lastly, when there was a major rainstorm with sideways rain hitting the house one day. We noticed the front balcony door to the living room had serious leaks around the door frame at the top and the glass door also leaked from the seals where the blinds inside the door are. We put the door mat under the door to catch the water that was dripping during the storm. All these are minor problems, overall we enjoyed our stay!
Clean, well stocked with what you need. Good location. Short walk to the water. Wish the chairs on the deck were a little taller so you can see the view better sitting. The deck rail is right in the way. Other than that it was a great stay.
