About this property

**Beach Front** Ramp & Private Walkover with 5 Bdrms *ADA wide doors*

Making Memories is a newer 5 bedroom 3 bathroom beachfront house that was remodeled in 2020. The house is located right on the beach with a large deck and a private walk over directly off the deck just steps away from the water in Surfside Beach. The stress melts away as you climb the stairs or ramp and hear the sound of the waves! The private beach walkover directly from the front porch we had built, keeps you out of the dunes where rattle snakes have been known to inhabit. It is in the private Velasco Shores Subdivision that is right next to Stahlman. This is a little gem on the island since it’s the only private HOA neighborhood with mostly full time neighbors.

The house has many windows and offers amazing beach views from anywhere in the living area along with beach views in the master bedroom and bedroom #4 (queen with jack/jill bathroom). It has wonderful finishes throughout and is designed with large groups in mind. The house offers 10’ high ceilings throughout with a cathedral ceiling in the living room, dining room, and kitchen area. There is wainscoating in the hallway and 8' high doors throughout the house.

The fully stocked kitchen is a chef’s dream and is designed with entertaining in mind! It has plenty of room to move around, stainless steel appliances, large french door refrigerator, fully stocked, tons of counter and cabinet space, and a large 8’ granite island that seats 5-7 people. The kitchen is open to the dining room and living room area so you can still be part of the group while you cook. There is also a 7 ft farmhouse trestle table with seating for up to 12 people. The living room has a large 70 inch flat screen TV, Blueray/DVD player, stereo with IPod Dock, and games. It is the perfect place to stay while working from home or for home schooling. The house has Comcast High Speed internet on the X1 Xfinity platform which is perfect for multiple computers or devices.

There is a large 10’x40’ covered porch to escape the sun and a 12'x27' uncovered deck to enjoy the beautiful views and sound of the waves. Comfy sectional, teak high table, and 8 Adirondack chairs are on the decks/patio for your relaxation and enjoyment. A private walk over allows easy access from the deck directly to the beach. Under the house there is a shower with hot water for washing the sand off and plenty of parking both on the concrete under the house and in the large driveway. There is a weber gas grill on the deck. Under the house is a picnic table, swing and 2 Adirondack chairs. There is also a ramp that makes it much easier to bring your luggage, coolers, etc. up to the house. The ramp is wheelchair accessible but it is steeper than ADA standards. Guests with wheelchairs have commented that the ramp is accessible for wheelchairs.

The house has five bedrooms with 11 beds which provide plenty of room to spread out. The house comfortably sleeps 16 people. All bedrooms have 32' TVs with access to tons of movies through free Netflix and amazon prime free movies. Bedroom #5 has a king size bed and attached bathroom. This bathroom has a vessel sink & granite countertop and a 4' shower. Bedrooms 3 and 4 both have newer thicker pillow top queen beds which are slightly higher because of the thickness of the mattresses. There is a step stool if needed for the height. These bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with granite countertop, dual sinks, linen closet, and a shower. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are bunkrooms but also have full size beds so they can be easily used for sleeping adults. Bedroom 2 has a full bed along with 2 sets of twin bunk beds. Bedroom 1 has a newer pillow top full bed and a twin bunk bed. The hallway bathroom has ADA wide door and has bathtub/shower This bathroom is located right across the hall from Bedrooms 1 and 2.

Surfside Beach is about an hour south of Houston. There are endless possibilities for fun regardless of the season. The house is located within the quirky quiet village of Surfside Beach Limits. There is a paved trail for hiking, biking, and golf carts along Bluewater Highway that leads right to town. Making Memories is located in the Velasco Shores private neighborhood which consists of 9 homes. It is a very closely knit community with wonderful neighbors. The neighborhood has mostly full time owner occupied properties, so it is the perfect place for peace and quiet on the beach. It is located across the street from the public crabbing pier and fishing is everywhere. You can fish in the surf, in the bay, off a pier, or deep sea with a charter boat.

Wonderful Beachfront House - Great for Families
This was our fourth annual summer beach vacation in Surfside and second year staying at Making Memories. No doubt one of the best properties in Surfside! The location is fantastic, with a walkway directly from the deck out to the beach and a nice large (partially shaded) deck. Our group was two families with teenagers and kids - the house is not huge, but the high ceilings and layout make it feel nice and comfy, even for larger multi-generational groups. Great host, great communication - we can’t wait to come back next year!

Beach Memories 2023
Our family had a wonderful week! The beach house was so nice and the decor was beautiful! It was a week when my 87 year old mother could also see her grandkids and great grankids...so throughout the week we had 4 generations. Lori was so kind to also send us resources for our little girls who are disabled and need wheelchair access. Our 8 year old was able to use the Mobi wheelchair that the city hall at Surfside loans out to families giving her access to the beach and waves in the water! We'd never experienced anything like that! Great memories were made for sure!

Amazing Family Vacation
The house was beautiful and fit our family of 16 ranging in age from 3 months to 81 years old. The view of the Gulf was absolutely amazing. Easy access off Blue Water Hwy. Close to everything we needed or wanted. Great relaxing vacation! My family is talking about making it an annual trip!

Outstanding family beach house rental!
This house on the beach is perfect for a family vacation. Great kitchen, plenty of seating for dining and relaxing and comfortable bedding. We really enjoyed the huge outdoor patio and the covered play area downstairs. This house sits beach front with a private walkway to the beach. Wonderful! Our family(4 generations) agreed there is nothing we would change about this special place! We highly recommend!

Annual Family Vacation
Great house, well stocked, clean, awesome location, right on the beach... everything was pretty much perfect. We did have a problem one night accessing the home but we called Lori and she helped us get in right away. We'd definitely recommend this beach home -- thanks Lori !

About the host

Host profile image
We love the beach and spending time at the beach is a great opportunity to slow down and connect with family and friends. The beach is amazing in all seasons! We hope you can use our home to create your own memories.

Why they chose this property

We found this subdivision and really fell in love with the spectacular views and large lots. Our house is located at the end of the cul-de-sac with a huge yard for gathering and outdoor games.

What makes this property unique

We looked at many existing homes before deciding on this house. Our search was for something newer with higher end finishes. We were able to find this customized 5 bedroom floor plan which has such a family friendly atmosphere. The large gathering area between the living and dining rooms with the vaulted 16 ft ceilings is our favorite part of the house.
