The Neighborhood:
We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! This particular home is located in the heart of Surfside and just a few blocks from the Jetty which is an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts, and with surfing, shelling, and beachcombing just steps away, there's something for everyone to do.

Getting Around:
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.

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/high thread count on all 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(s)! We welcome your furry friends (aka family members). Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee ($125 for 1 dog, extra $75 for 2) per stay.

WIFI/TV SERVICE:
Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. 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. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!

Great beach house

This property is very nice and we really enjoyed our stay. Even in August the ocean breeze made sitting on the covered deck enjoyable. Mornings watching the waves and evenings relaxing to the sound of the ocean were lovely. Definitely would stay at this property again

Surfside get away

I have been renting vacation rentals at Surfside Beach for more than 25 years and I have to say this home is exactly as described. One of the nicest, cleanest home available for a rental. Don’t hesitate booking this home if it fits your group size.

Wonderful Stay

I loved the location right in the water. The place was very clean, well appointed, and management was very responsive. I could tell the owners put a lot into the house with all the needed appliances and kitchenware. I really appreciated the huge TV and care package with incidentals. Great place and I love love to visit again sometime!

Surfside Texas Clean Upgraded Beach House

We were pleasantly impressed with our VRBO home and stay on Surfside Beach. The house was upgraded clean and very comfortable. We loved our beach views and for 6 adults o er 60 it was great. The nicest beach house I have ever visited in this area. I would recommend it to anyone!

Home Away From Home & More!

Everything was exactly as described & more! We were all so thrilled from the location to the outstanding care of the home’s decor. All we had to do was buy whatever food we needed as everything else was provided. We felt like we’d stepped into our own home. We loved every minute of our stay!

Beautiful home on the Gulf on the break wall side of Surfside. Pictures were exactly as presented. We enjoyed six weeks and needed nothing. The property is well appointed with all cooking needs. We would choose this property again for a shorter or longer stay!

Amazing

Property was amazing. Loved the glider rockers. They are on my list to purchase some just like them. This property was a notch above the ones we have rented for the last five years. Nicely maintained and care has obviously been taken to furnish it with items that will last. Would rent again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

The cabin was everything expected. Had a very good experience. The only issue that we incurred was that the bathroom shower never would get hot, so we were all taking luke warm showers.

Stay-cation with view

This is the best spot by far. This is the last morning of our stay. I made a breakfast of eggs, sausage and juice that we ate watching the waves hitting the shore. Sooo relaxing. The place was equipped and clean. The views are spectacular. Spent most of it on the deck just looking at the ships slowly roll in. You can hear the sound of the ocean when you sleep. It was great. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you for sharing this amazing beach cottage with us💛💙💛💙💛💙💛

Heaven on Earth

We arrived for a two week stay. First time experience on the Gulf coast. The beach house was like home on Lake Superior with the international shipping travel and waves enjoyed by surfers in we suits. Grand fun to observe with binoculars from the top deck. Seafood, fruit and veggies spectacular compared to home in MN. Foggy days reminder me of sailing summers in Maine. Loved the total relaxation and weather. Not too hot which made walking the beach wonderful. Small town feel with friendly locals House was nothing short of perfect. Super response from management with any questions we had during the stay. In good hands for sure. Will look to book again. Thank you soooo much
