I am six feet and four inches tall. Although Golden Surfside is a nice unit, spacious and A/C works very well ( nice accommodations), there are issues 1) no place for groceries 2) bed in master suite 8 inches off of floor ( very hard to access, if old and tall.

We had a great Father’s Day weekend. The house had plenty of room for all of us 6 adults and 3 kids! Definitely would stay again. Even with the weather it was great to be at our home beach of surfside again. Until next time surfside ‍♀️

The Golden Surfside house worked great to our stay. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom and ample room to hang out in the living spaces and kitchen. The weather was a little cool and windy, so we did not spend much time outside, but the tables and chairs on the balcony were more than adequate. There is a coffee table in the living room with a glass top, and I recall another review that complained about it. More than once it got bumped and we would suggest that it be replaced. Kitchen was adequately supplied with the exception of cake sized baking pans. We struggled with getting hooked up to wifi, but after many phone calls back and forth, we finally got hooked up. Also did not manage to get the TVs to work. We would suggest better information and guides for both the WIFI and TV's. On the other hand, we had such a good time at the house, not having the TVs working was not a problem. We would not hesitate to stay again! The management company was very pleasant to work with.

The property was exactly as it was in the pictures, if not more. It was clean and well-maintained. This was a very nice property, the rental manager provided good customer service. I would and did recommend this property to friends and relatives. My family and I really enjoyed the beach and the giant porch facing the beach. I would definitely do this again.

I truly appreciate the beach house and the location. We had our own board walk to our own personal place on the beach. We also have a big family which we had more than enough room. So with all that being said, you will be hearing from us again and hopefully we can rent the Golden Surfside .

Had an awesome time at the rental. The property was amazing super clean in a great location the house was well stocked from the kitchen to the bedrooms everything was there.I will return to Bluewater Rentals very satisfied.

We enjoyed our stay at Golden Surfside as we were celebrating the marriage of our son with family. The home was very well cared for , stocked with things we needed. Our only issue was the coffee filters were too small, lol, we took care of that. Appreciated all the space we had to accommodate everyone that was staying with us. Staff was very attentive to any need or question we had. A good time was had by all.

Manager's Response

The outside deck was large with 2 tables and was a great place to view the ocean. The kitchen and den had seating for all 12 people including table for 8 and 3 barstools at the kitchen island as well as a comfy love seat. I hope the coffee table is replaced with something safer. It is heavy glass not attached to a too small base. It was not good for small kids and we moved it out of the den while we were there. We had a disposal plug up and it was repaired in less than an hour.

Peaceful and quiet even during spring break week. Spacious and clean accommodations with awesome deck.

Lovely home with amazing view. Only improvements I’d recommend would be more comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Maybe something meant for relaxing in the sun or shade. I would have enjoyed an afternoon nap outdoors.

It was a very pleasant experience, and I would recommend it.

We spent 4 nights at Golden Surfside. We loved it. Awesome location, awesome facilities. A little hiccup getting access, but that was resolved quickly. We are planning on another visit.

This is a modern house that comfortably sleeps 12, more if you don't mind sleeping on a sofa bed. The kitchen is well appointed with a garbage disposal, quality dishes and serverware, 1 French door refrigerator, and electric oven and range. The coffee maker and microwave are also new and modern. Unlike other beach houses in this area, the kitchen in Golden Surfside has what you would have at your own house. The upstairs bedrooms are new and clean but lack furniture. The owners need to add dressers, mirrors and nightstands to the bedrooms. We just had to keep things in suitcases on the floor. The deck is nice, long and clean. I agree with other reviewers that the house lacks beach decor. The best things about this house is that building is clean, new, working bathrooms (no rust in the drains, etc.) and a great kitchen.There are two things two draw backs that travelers, especially those with young children, should take note: 1) There is no ramp up to the house, just stairs. This makes it very difficult to transport coolers and suitcases from the parking spot below. If my husband and teenage boys were not with me, I could not have carried everything up the stairs myself. 2) There is no boardwalk from the house. You have to cross an ant-filled grassy area, across the neighbor's parking pad to get to a swampy landing of stairs out to the beach. Besides being difficult to walk, it is also hard to pull a wagon from the house to the beach. The owners should build a wooden platform from the back of the house to meet the stairs. Yes, the house has beach access but it is not as accessible as other beach houses. If I had really young children, I would not pick this house because the swampy/boggy walk to the boardwalk would be unacceptable.

Family vacation over Memorial Day Weekend. We had a great time. Being at Golden Surfside in middle beach was relaxing and traffic free. We had a great experience at the home. The home was large and comfortably accommodated 16 guests. Nice location. We enjoyed having space and not being 5 feet away from the next home. Highly recommend.

Overall vacation experience was satisfying. The rental was clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were small and it lacked island decor to satisfy that complete Beach Vacation feel.

Golden Surfside was the perfect Family getaway. The beach to bay view was amazing!It was very spacious and it extremely easy beach access. A great location to shelter in place at a different place. Look forward to returning.

This property had an amazing location and with great views and sunsets. It was a brand new house with all the amenities. There isn't any outdoor furniture so you will need to bring your own chairs if want to sit out on the amazing deck overlooking the ocean! We brought our own beach chairs up to the deck. With COVID I would have liked them to wash the comforters in between guests but I'm sure there just isn't the time. I washed them all upon arrival so I was satisfied they were sanitized. The sheets and towels came in a bag so we know they were washed and ready for our arrival. You have to put the sheets on the beds yourself which was fine for us. Overall it was a great place and I would go back.

Wonderful time.rooms are large!Great kitchen.very clean

We had a group of 22 women and we enjoyed our stay very much. Would highly recommend this property

We took our annual family vacation and stayed in Captain Hook for the first time. We all enjoyed staying in this house. It accommodated all of our needs and was all around a very nice house to stay in. We liked it so much we are planning on renting this house again next year.
The cookware was not so good, food sticking and such. But one quick phone call to the property manager and we had a new set of pots and pan delivered to us. Our family would highly recommend this house, it was clean and had a walk over right to the beach. We also enjoyed seeing the sunrises and sunsets from the deck and especially enjoyed family time.

Our annual trip to Capt Hook was interrupted by Beryl. We had to leave quite fast on Sunday. We went back for a quick visit on Wednesday to get our stuff left behind. Power and water was iffy but we were only allowed to get our items and leave. The property itself did quite well and was undamaged. I assume we will receive a rebate on the remaining 5 days. As a police officer instructed “you have to leave now” sure glad we did.

This was a great vacation home for our large family. Customer service is great. Every large bedrooms and common area. House was clean. Nice beach front property. The kids enjoyed the movie room. We will rent again

my family and I love this house. We come once a year and the house has enough room to sleep everyone comfortably we play games love this house.

Great experience with Captain Hook

Renting homes year after year we have always enjoyed the staff and treatment from bluewater resorts . This time our disappointment was we rented two homes with a bridge for our elderly family to connect and the bridge was gone without any notice which made for a long weekend z 5

We always have a wonderful time while staying at this house! We rent it every March and enjoy our stay each time. It is a big house and is a great location.

Couldn't ask for a better experience. Our entire family (11 adults, 6 children) have enjoyed staying at the "Captain Hook" beach for the holidays for 3 years. Each stay was fantastic. Letna in the office was the perfect host. We will continue to stay at the "Captain Hook" for our future family get togethers.

We had our daughters wedding on the beach on the 19th of August. We rented two houses side by side for the brides family and the grooms family. The houses were clean, and had plenty of room! We had to call maintenance about a faulty plug and they responded and had it fixed with in 24 hours! We could not have had a better experience! Next time we will stay here for a family vacation!

It was fabulous! The house is very large, well maintained and right on the beach. We will definitely be coming back next year!!

Great week at the beach. Always a great experience. House was exactly what I wanted.

Great location and house for our large family gathering. We have already booked it again for next year.

My family absolutely loved Captain Hook.The entire property was clean,the beds were comfortable,there was enough space for the entire family.We will definitely rent this property again.The view to the beach was awesome. Cudoos to the owner for a well kept property.

The beach house was perfect. Beautiful updates and lots of space for all 20 of us. We did have an issue with one of the AC units but maintenance came out and fixed immediately. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Will rent again next year!

We love renting this house every year! It is right on the beach and has plenty of rooms and bathrooms. Great house and great space!

Captain Hook never disappoints... We’ve been coming here since 2015, when she was first built. It’s perfect for large gatherings. We always look forward to our visit here, no matter what time of year, summer or winter!

Came here for a ladies retreat from our church. This is a yearly trip for us. Everything was great, from start to finish.

We had 21 women, only 1 bed had a broken box spring. The rooms were very nice, enough furniture to accommodate us all at once. Most said to rent this house again for next year. The kitchen was great! Beautiful view for sunrise, our favorite part of being there.
This house is not brand new though. has to be a few years old but totally worth it. just needs a few minor repairs which I told them about.

The Captain Hook was perfect for our group. This was our 11th year to meet here with high school friends (ladies only) and rekindle old friendships and nurture new ones. There is plenty of room, the beds are good, and everything is clean. The outside ramp made everything easily accessible. Love the large great room and the deck is wonderful to watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

My Deuces Wild Group thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Captain Hook property. The accommodations were exactly what we needed for our group. The property had everything we needed...everything was clean...and the customer service from the rental office was group is excited and planning to stay at the property again next year. Bluewater and Captain Hook Rocks!

The home was very nice and spacious. Beautiful place with all the amenities needed. The one suggestion is the stove and pots need to be upgraded. Inform guest of how bad the mosquitoes are so they can be on guard for them.Overall we had a great time. Would highly recommend it.

We always enjoy our time at Captains Hook for Fourth of July! Signs of wear on the house but nothing that limits its functionality. Were sad someone else got it for next year...

A few electric plugs didn’t work, minor inconvenience. We are happy about the policy of parking cars against the dunes. We love Surfside, best value of the area.

"Captain Hook" was a great house to stay at! We loved the location and being right on the beach. There were a ton of rooms and bathrooms! Very nice house! We will be staying there again in the future!

It was two beach houses for a church ladies retreat! Awesome place!!!

Had 22 members in our group and loved the room Captain Hook provided. Had beds and bathrooms for everyone and the direct access to the beach along with a large patio made it easy for everyone to find some space to enjoy the vacation. The large well stocked kitchen with two dishwashers made it easy to serve meals for everyone. When we arrived the home was clean and ready for us to enjoy. Would definitely book another large gathering there in a heartbeat.

This was our 2nd year staying at the Captain Hook Beach House. We again really enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect for our family Christmas celebration. We highly recommend this for a large gathering.
The house has a great layout with every room on the same floor. There are plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils (pots, pans, etc.) and lots of silverware. The two dishwashers and two large refrigerators are a huge bonus! The ramp is tremendous for ease of unloading and loading. No carrying luggage and other necessities (food, gifts, games, beach toys, etc.) up sets of stairs.
The rental office is close to the house and the office staff are friendly and helpful.
We love this place!

This was a great beach house. Every one enjoyed there stay. Plenty of room for the entire family and friends. Clean beach and the weather was perfect during our visit. Would recommend families to stay there.

Our church stayed here for a retreat and we had a great time. The house was beautiful and inviting. The staff is always pleasant. I would recommend this house for your stay.

We were very disappointed in this rental property. This place could use some serious upgrades. The door to enter the home was absolutely filthy dirty; the home was not cleaned very well and we had to do some cleaning ourselves; the stove is old and dirty; there’s an outlet on the floor and the cover was missing; broken blinds; washer and dryer are old and takes forever to dry a load of clothes. All of this was discussed with management after checking in and they were not helpful at all.

Excellent view, comfortable bedrooms, capacity for large groups, includes all the tools you need for cleaning or cooking. I would definitely go back to Captain Hook!

Everything was Excellent! Awesome vacation experience from reservation through checkout!

It was a lovely stay with family. We also rented the house next door and both homes accommodated our large family well. There is a bit of upkeep that needs to be done, but nothing that ruined the experience completely. The ceiling fan in the back queen bedroom did not work and there is a plate missing on a floor electrical outlet in living area. And the vent for the dryer needed cleaning--it took hours to dry a load of laundry. We reported the dryer to a worker that arrived as we were leaving and he said he would clean the vent. The house was very comfortable and fit our needs. We will be back next year.

Captain Hook was the perfect beach house for our family vacation. There were 21 of us. The kitchen is well stocked with all that was needed to prepare food for all our crew. The two refrigerators and 2 ovens were just what we needed. The location was perfect as we could see the beach and walk right down the wood walkway to get there. The house was big and open. The porch was another area we enjoyed in the evening when we didn’t feel like going down to the beach. The property management company was very responsive. The description stated there was a grill and it was missing when we got there. They quickly brought us a grill to use and replaced it with the bigger one as soon as they got it. The wooden walk way had a loose hand rail at the end by the beach that fell down. They sent someone out that evening to fix it. We had a wonderful time and made some great memories! We would highly recommend this location.

The 8 bedrooms make it easy to host the whole family.

AWESOME

As a valued customer of over 30 years, my family and I continue to enjoy renting beautiful homes from bluewater resort rentals!!

The house is very nice. Good layout with lots of space. The kitchen is great for cooking meals with two refrigerators and two dishwashers. Access to the beach is very convenient. Was not happy with the hospitality aspect. Management leaves bags of clean towels and linens. You have to put sheets on our own beds, distribute towels, etc. They do provide a couple of rolls of tp, but no paper towels, no trashbags, no soaps, dish soap, etc. The cost ends up being about $1,000 per night and you have to immediately go to the store and buy some of the basic things that most VRBO properties already have. The property has great potential but the cost is out of whack given that nothing is supplied.

Excellent, all had a good time. Suggest some chairs for the deck.

I've been here every year since they built it. It's been perfect each time

The ladies from my graduation class make our visit to Surfside a yearly retreat. The Captain Hook is a beautiful place that meets our needs! What a wonderful facility to rest and relax and have fun with long time friends!

Our family spends a week at Surfside each year. We have rented many various houses over the past 20 years. As our family has grown so has our need for larger houses. Captain Hook was perfect for our needs. All rooms on one level (some of us are getting older) and the fact that it has a media room was golden. We have 10 kids under the age of 12. Our only and really biggest complaint was that the wi-fi access was practically non existent. Several of the family must continue to work for portions of the week and wi-fi is a must. We resorted to hot spots on our phones to continue to do what had to be done. All in all we would be happy to rent it again next year but it has already been rented during the time we can have our family trip. (Sad face emoji). The walk over to the beach is right outside your door. If you plan to spend much time on the beach having a popup tent is vital. We leave the frame up for the time we are there but take down the canopies as we have lost several during overnight storms. The wind will demolish the entire thing if left up. Also if you value your beach chairs/boogie boards do not leave them overnight as we lost several this year. A mistake we will not make again. Surfside is a great beach. It is clean and for the past few years there has been little or no seaweed. The beach is cared for by the town and they do a beautiful job of keeping it awesome. If you plan to stay for awhile and plan to cook please know that there is no large grocery store and that type of shopping should be done in Lake Jackson which now has multiple great grocery stores. Although we will not be able to stay in Captain Hook next year we will be in one of the other houses as Surfside is the place to be.

Perfect for multiple families. Easy access to beach. Very nice and clean. Plenty of parking. The kitchen is awesome with 2 refrigerators making meal prep for 14 for a week easy.
