Beachfront! 4bdr(3 kings)/3 bath/sleeps 17

Escape to the serenity of the beach, wind, and waves. With an unparalleled beachfront view, Tranquility Base is the ideal place to relax, get away, and enjoy all that the gulf coast has to offer. Construction was completed on this exceptional, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in October of 2017.

Paying homage to the space history of nearby Houston, the beach house is named after the site on the Moon where humans first landed, the first words being, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!" At Surfside Beach, you can find a place where the peaceful tranquility of this beach house is made possible by the earthly pleasures of the water, wind, and sand.

Just steps away from the beach over the adjacent walkway, sit with your feet in the water or explore miles of surf and sand. Relax on the spacious upper deck with both covered and open areas, and have an unencumbered view for miles down the coast. Head down to the large shaded deck under the house for games and grilling. After catching your breath from the incomparable experiences outside, head inside to the beautiful, clean, and commodious living and sleeping areas.

Our house is furnished and decorated with comfort, relaxation, and convenience in mind. The living accommodations include:
- Living room: three big windows looking out to the ocean, a large flat screen TV with Blu-ray player, one couch, one sleeper sofa, and two swivel/reclining chairs
- Dining area: large table that seats eight, bar stool seating for eight, a high chair, and small toddler table with chairs
- Master bedroom: one king Tempur-Pedic bed, large dresser, wardrobe cabinet, flat screen TV, private balcony, and private bathroom with a bathtub/shower
- 2nd bedroom: one king Restonic bed, two twin bunks, and a fold out twin lounger. Room also has flat screen TV, large closet, and roomy private bathroom with standing shower
- 3rd bedroom: one king Tempur-Pedic bed, dresser, closet, shared full bathroom, and private balcony
- 4th bedroom: two queen beds with two custom-built twin beds. Room also includes large closet, shared full bathroom, and private balcony

All bedrooms are spacious. A pack-n-play along with sheet is provided. The living room closet contains adult and children games and children's toys.

The kitchen is fully stocked and will meet all of your cooking/baking needs. Stainless steel appliances are all new, and the reverse osmosis system provides high-quality drinking water. A full-service laundry room is available for use.

The deck has four tall wooden chairs along with two rocking chairs and adirondack chairs. Feel free to spend countless hours here during the day and at night. On the lower deck you will find an Old Smokey grill to use as well as a picnic table.

Ample parking is available under the house and along the driveway, as the property extends all the way to Bluewater Hwy.

Surfside Beach is conveniently located about an hour drive from Houston, a 3-4 hour drive from San Antonio/Austin, and a 4-5 hour drive from the DFW Metroplex. Surfside provides a quiet, relaxing, seaside retreat with a wide array of family activities including surfing, fishing, crabbing, shelling, bird-watching, boating, sight-seeing, shopping, dining, and beach activities like kiting, jet skiing, and soaking up the sun. Nearby Lake Jackson and Galveston provide additional options for fun and entertainment. Moody Gardens, Galveston Island's Pleasure Pier, and Schlitterbahn are just a few of the nearby attractions that will make your stay in Surfside memorable.

We are happy to share with our guests the house we adore and know you'll come to as well. We ask that our guests are responsible and treat it with the same love and attention they would their own home.

Come and stay at Tranquility Base in Surfside and you'll find a vacation destination where lifelong memories are made!

Thanksgiving on the beach
It is hard to mess up a beach vacation. This house was very well thought out. The kitchen spilling into the living area was perfect for family time. The beds were comfortable to sleep in. There were even dehumidifiers for those that know that they keep the mold at bay. Any questions that arose were quickly answered by looking over the owners list. Beautiful house Best beach house out of the 10 years that my family has been going

Our stay at The Tranquility was nothing short of amazing! This beautiful home was the ideal retreat for our family, featuring four spacious and comfortable bedrooms that were perfect for our kids. The kitchen was a chef's dream, fully equipped with everything we needed to whip up delicious meals together. Best of all, the beach was just steps away, making it incredibly convenient for our family outings. If you're looking for the perfect getaway with your loved ones, look no further—this place truly has it all!

Great place!
This beach rental was great! It was clean when we arrived and fully stocked with everything we needed. We had three families in the home and the home felt big and comfortable enough for everyone. We appreciated there were toys and board games for the kids. I loved the convenience of the walkway for the quick walk out to the beach. The host was also very responsive to my questions. It was nice and relaxing out on the balcony and plenty of seating. This place was exactly what I needed to celebrate my 40th birthday with my loved ones.. Thank you for hosting us!!

Few disappointments
Location and size of property were great. The house is starting to show signs of general wear for its age. Stayed 4 nights and never left the property except to go to the beach which was a short walk over wood ramp from house to beach. The beach was not crowded except for Saturday. The house is pretty far from Surfside proper so I guess this was the reason there was so much seaweed. House is well stocked with just about anything you need for meal prep. Very limited supply of paper towels and toilet paper so you probably will want to bring extra. Cons: extremely aggressive mosquito activity on Wednesday and Thursday. They sprayed neighborhood on Friday and that night and Saturday were mosquito free but by Sunday morning they were back. Wednesday night shower revealed highly offensive sulfur smell to water. I contacted the owners and was told this was an ongoing issue and that the reverse osmosis filter system had been turned off. This lead to us going to the store and buying 10 gallons of water for drinking and cooking during our stay. They contact the city to flush the lines but nothing improved. I already had 3 boys (8,6 and 3) that refused to take further showers due to the odor and washed off with water hose the rest of the stay. Also no ice maker in a new refrigerator. We managed to have a good family vacation but it could have been great without all these unexpected events. Have stayed 3 summers in the Surfside area and never experienced anything like this.

Absolutely great visit
This house is exactly as represented by the pictures. We’ve stayed at several houses at Surfside over the years and this is our favorite. Having the wonderful covered porch looking out at the beach and having the walkway to beach was a huge win. The house has every cooking utensil you could need and so well organized that you can find everything. The furniture in the den area was extremely comfortable. The host was very attentive.

Amazing location amazing place
The view of the ocean was amazing!! Walking to the beach was Soo easy with the bridge even with multiple kids and infants, it was close enough we didn't mind making multiple trips to get extra gear. The house itself was so clean and so nice. Very kid friendly. Had a closet of toys for kids all ages books games movies. There were step stools in the bathroom for kids to reach. Only problem is the water from the shower And sinks smell horrible. The owners are awesome and installed a reverse osmosis filter so the drinking water was fine. I'm sure any property in the area would have the same smelling water. Overall we would definitely want to book another stay here!

Perfect spot for family
We took our 4 children ranging from 0 - 10 and enjoyed Tranquility Base as our base for a 4 day stint to round out summer. The property is ideally located close to amenities but away from the main drag / congestion. The beach is 10 seconds away and the views from the property are great. The bunk beds were popular with our kids and the toys/games supplied came in very handy. Communication was great and this represents great value versus other properties we’ve seen in the area.

Perfect Family Getaway
The property is in the perfect location. Not too close to the main beach access right at the end of the bridge. That area gets very congested and crowded. This house is further down. The beach is quieter and cleaner. The house was adorable & perfectly set up. My husband and I and my three teenage boys had the rooms at the end that shared a bathroom and my brother and his wife and my sister and her husband had their own bedrooms with their own bathrooms. It worked out perfectly. The kitchen was a great size. It was well stocked with pantry staples, and all the cookware, appliances, dishes, cutlery you could need. No need to drag that stuff with you on this vacation. The beds were all very comfortable. There’s plenty of comfortable seating in the living room to gather and watch movies. The dining table was large, and they had extra seating at the island. There were tons of boardgames. But mainly, we spent our time down at the beach, which is easily accessible from the crossover right next to the house. Or we spent our time on the deck watching the waves and the beach goers. The deck is nicely furnished with big wooden deck chairs and table tops to set your stuff on. The area under the house was perfect for grilling and staying out of the sun. We lucked out and had super clear water for the entire trip. There were only 2 downfalls; 1 is there was a lot of tar washing in and it was messy. 2 the water filtration was down on the island and the water smelled putrid. We’ll be back!

Rented for the 4th year this great property!
I have rented this property 4 times and it’s the perfect layout for our family. Three king bedrooms is always a plus for our tall family members, the front deck is a few feet closer to the beach so you can get a full view up and down the beach without neighboring decks in the way, we love having hot & cold water for the kids in the outdoor shower below, the tall ceilings feel spacious, and the rooms are all separated by a bathroom or closet so you can’t really hear the other families in the other rooms. Great property with its own ramp over the dune to the beach! We will be back next year.
