House was clean and pictures accurate of interior. Grass wasn’t mowed and master shower did not drain well. Wrap around deck was enjoyable as well as the cool breezes. We did rent a cart to go to beach. Quiet neighborhood.

Perfect location and size for our family of 4 plus my in-laws. A 5 minute walk to the pedestrian beach was very easy, and we enjoyed watching the big ships come in. I grilled out one night and was surprised the propane tanks were full and there were plenty of bbq utensils stocked up. Communication with Aida was seamless and I would definitely stay there again.

This property was everything and more! Even better than we expected. This house is the perfect location and decorated so cute. They have everything we could have ever needed right there. Communication was top notch from day one. I appreciate everything. Our family vacation could not have been better.

We loved the white kitchen with a big table for 6 people. Very stylish, clean and new. Kids loved the bunk bed. The way to the beach took us about 5-7 minutes on foot. Not far at all and a nice walk. Had some issues with remotes, they didn’t make the right volume. Overall very pleasant stay.

From booking to check out was an absolute breeze with every detail exactly how it was advertised! The house is fantastic in a great location! You will want for nothing in the house, just turn up with your clothes and food. Grill out on the deck, great seating area on the deck that is fenced and safe for kids. Fully equipped kitchen, every appliance and utensil you will ever need! The inside is really well decorated and looked after! If you have kids this place is a must!! We will be booking again!

**Delayed review from July 2022**
The property manager was very communicative and responsive.
The house is pretty much exactly as you see in the pictures, no surprises.
It’s great for a family, the bunk bed in the secondary bedroom sleeps four. Two bathrooms also helps with a larger group.
I appreciated that the deck had a gate to the staircase, I felt a little more at ease sitting outside with my toddler. I didn’t have to worry about him trying to go down the stairs while sitting on the deck. There’s not a particularly stunning view, but you can see some of the large cargo vessels from the deck.
The kitchen is nice, appropriately stocked with various cookware.
The dining table could be a bit bigger considering the house could sleep more than four people, but it’s cute and matched the aesthetics.
The decor was nice and beach-feeling, it all seemed very well suited for a family.
The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off sandy kids before they went upstairs into the house.
The house was nice, I would recommend the owner put up some sort of blinds or curtains on the French doors to enhance privacy and reduce the sun from heating up the living room so much.

After reading a scathing review just weeks before our arrival, I was a bit apprehensive about our reservation.
Look, if you expect someone to turn down the bedspreads and leave a chocolate mint on the pillow each evening, this is not the place for you.
But... If you want a recently remodeled, clean place that is nearby any of the Surfside activities, the "Casa Toucan" would be a good choice. It's roomy inside (and out) and is furnished with anything needed should you want to cook your meals.
My only complaints would be having to bring your own drinking water and lug it up the stairs, but that is what Grandkids are for right?
Also, the friendly host could have been kind enough to turn down the sun about a gazillion degrees.

Relaxing week
Our host, Aida, was easy to communicate with. We had an issue with the dishwasher and she got the electrician to come fix it in a timely manner. The house was open and comfortable, just right for our family. Split floor plan gave privacy for each couple. Nicely located… Morning walks with the dog to the beach were a great start to each day. We rented a golf cart which gave us some flexibility. coming and going from the drive on part of the beach..

Bed bugs found
While the house looked nice, and we initially enjoyed our stay; the se ond night of our stay I found a very large bed bug crawling on the wall. After further inspection we found one on the top bunk and noticed my friend had bed bug bites all over his ankles. We informed the host of this and she claimed she would give us a full refund and apologized. Two days letter she messaged acusing us of bringing the bed bugs and refused to give us our refund. My friend most definitely didn't have bed bug bites before the trip and we absolutely did not bring them with us. We would not have cut our trip an entire day short for no reason. I am very disappointed in this stay, and will never use this host again

Happy Family -- Happy Casa Toucan!
Seven members of our family from grandparents, two moms, two teen boys and a 3 year old princess absolutely enjoyed staying at Casa Toucan. It's prettier and larger than the photos show and it was super clean. In fact it's the cleanest place I've ever rented for the family to stay. I wish the cleaners could come do my own house!
Yes, it's true you must walk or drive down to the beach but it's absolutely worth that walk. The decks are wonderful with various seating and you can watch the sunset as well as the sunrise. We didn't use the grill but it sure was there & available.
There were bed linens in very good shape and stain free. The towels are thick & nice. I always bring my own because I'm quite picky but Casa Toucan's are lovely. There were sufficient kitchen dishes, bowls, cooking pans available. We did bring our own oven pans and are very glad we did. Of course most people don't doing much baking at the beach!
Not a single member of our little group unhappy. Even our dog Amy Joy was happy. Aida was terrific about messaging us & checking on us during our stay. We can't wait to come back and stay longer next time!
Do yourself a favor and stay at Casa Toucan!

It was a nice experience. Everything was clean. There was no problem checking in or out. They gave us all the information we needed for our stay. Overall I would recommend if you wanted to stay near the beach.

We stayed at Casa Tuscan for the weekend to celebrate my birthday with our daughter and son in law and grand kitties, Gray and Circe. The home looks way better than the pics show.
We are thankful that Aida uses her home to invest in the quality of life of others. We are not party people, just loves to kick back and relax and enjoy doing absolutely nothing. We had a terrible windstorm on Friday but, praise God, the house stood the test. We all felt at home and enjoyed our time together.
I love that both bedrooms have bathrooms connected. This was a very lovely home to enjoyed our getaway.

Great little vacation in Surfside. Plenty of restaurant options serving up good food nearby. We had good advice from the other reviews here to use outside water that we brought in. Did not bother to get the big jug filled since we were here only for 2 nights.

nice family getaway
Pictures summed it up pretty well. House was updated nicely and everything worked. I highly suggest filling up the jugs with drinking water. Also pay attention to what hard water can do with you laundry. We picked up groceries at HEB in Lake Jackson on the way in and mostly cooked. Local restaurants a general burger/bar food. We opted to drive a little further out onto the beach to avoid the crowds. Saturday was crowded but we had plenty of room the rest of the time. Overall a great relaxing trip.

We really enjoyed Casa Toucan. The house was comfortable, well equipped, and located in the heart of Surfside, with easy access to the beach and jetty park. We specially enjoyed hanging out at the side deck at night after a beach day. We'd definitively book it again in the future.

Excellent stay!
We enjoyed ourselves at Aida’s amazing property! First, the communication was great. I never had to wait an extended period of time for a response.
The property was clean and offered a spacious open layout. All the amenities necessary for a cost conscious stay were provided (stovetop, oven, microwave, pots & pans). Most important was the WiFi.
The location of the home was within walking distance of the beach and the park area where ships constantly pass.
I highly recommend renting a golf cart. We rented one and traveled up and down the beach (actually on the beach) as well as on the road. The kiddos also enjoyed them!
I recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

House is exactly as described. So many updates and very cozy. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the top deck in the evening and watching the sunset. Homeowner is very quick to respond and wonderfully accommodating. We will definitely be back!

We stayed a month and really enjoyed it! Pictures and description are accurate and the host is super-responsive. Comfortable beds and all the appliances & systems are new and worked well. Nice set up for a couple and weekend family visits. The deck is pleasant if a bit rough in spots and watching the giant ships became an unexpected fun pastime, especially at sunset. Great bird watching, too! The house had most things we needed for lots of cooking, we appreciated the big prep/serving bowls and containers for leftovers. You definitely need to bring in water - Surfside’s water tastes, looks and smells terrible and there was a “boil water” advisory for 2 days that we found out about by chance. The host provided a dispenser & 5 gallon jugs which we used for all drinking and cooking, though getting them loaded to counter height was a bit tough even if worth it. Bring cash - the nearby water/ice kiosk only took small bills and change ($1.50/5 gal). The area is mostly quiet and a pleasant walk or bike to the jetty and beach. Sensitive sleepers like me should bring earplugs- sometimes there is a low frequency noise from the shipyard for a day or two at a time and higher winds whistled against the bedroom windows. In addition most windows & all doors did not have screens, so we learned the hard way not to do that when the mosquitoes were most active. The place has great lighting and wonderful natural light. Overall it is a great place to spend time in the area!

Nicely presented home in a quiet community
We don't normally book a new property that has no reviews but in this case we made an impromptu decision to get away for a few days during the Christmas break. What helped our decision was the quality of the listing and the inviting photos.
On arrival we were very happy to see that the home lived up to the description. This is no run down beach shack, the home has a modern coastal design. Everything is new and clean, hand wash is included, which really helped to get over our fears of covid-19.
The home has everything you need for a short stay, we brought our own meals and had everything we needed to prepare and cook them. The home is cozy and we spent most of our time just winding down (books, games & puzzles). We didn't drive anywhere for three days, just walked to the beach each morning. As a previous reviewer mentioned, there are plenty of mosquitoes, even in winter, so bring bug spray.
If you want a quiet break, away from hustle and bustle of everyday life, Surfside is a nice location and within driving distance of Houston.
