About this property

Ocean Front Gulf Coast - Enchanted Shell in Surfside Beach Texas

The Enchanted Shell is an OCEAN FRONT property located in Middle Beach of beautiful Surfside Texas, providing a comfortable and soothing holiday for either an adult get away or a family oriented vacation.

You can choose to relax on the beach and enjoy a cocktail, swim in the beautiful gulf ocean or watch the best sunset on the gulf coast.

You'll find awesome surf fishing, beach combing, shelling, and swimming. If you prefer to just relax, grab a lounge chair and kick back on the beach.

Use the provided hammock, swing chairs, and custom adironack chairs to relax with your choice of a get-away book on the over-sized deck (800 Sq. ft), or just watch the incoming/outgoing ships through the jetty.

Off the deck is the newly renovated private boardwalk for easy access to the beach and a nice stroll at dusk.

Everything to make your vacation memorable is waiting for you!

The charcoal grill (on the deck) will ensure you don't miss any of the views while cooking for your family and serving on the large picnic table (seats 8).

The key may not be in the conch shell.... but you can come on in! Swing open the deck gates and get a view of the end of the world.

Great beach getaway
The house has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing time on a nice, clean beach. Close to good restaurants, but easy to cook your own meals. Plenty of comfy beds. Games and books for indoor fun. Great big covered porch looking out to the ocean!

For the price, not a bad place to stay
There are a few minor things that need immediate attention. The main bathroom tub drains very slowly. In a 5 minute shower it was at the top of my ankles. The sink in the main bathroom trickles when you turn it on, even with hot and cold water on at the same time. There is one board on tue back deck that needs to he screwed down. It is right in front of the gate and is a trip hazard. The house could use several updates but I live in an old house so it reqlly didn't bother me, for some it might. I look at it like this, I eat and sleep in the house thats about it. I am there for the heach. The access to the beach is very easy and convenient. The owner communicated well and was even pretty relaxed on us checking in a little early as we arrived a little ahead of schedule. As far as the cleanliness of the house I will say that it could use a good deep cleaning. The things you expect to be clean were but all of the out of the way areas were dusty and looked like the cleaning crew just never touches. Overall we were happy witu our stay though.

About the host

Hosted by Kent J. Black

Host profile image
As Native Texans, we have always enjoyed the Gulf Coast, and are blessed to be able to share our little get away with others.

Why they chose this property

One glance at the ocean front view (during the winter) sold me on this property, and I knew I had to have it. Now that we have the large deck addition (with table, grill, hammock, chairs, etc.) - it is so exciting to experience the continuing natural changes of the Gulf Coast.

What makes this property unique

This property provides a get away when the beach is crowded (summer months) and absolute serenity during winter or off seasons times. I enjoy seeing the crowds change, nature adapt, and overall nature at its finest.
