About this property

Fish From Your Own Private Dock, Tranquil Bay Views and Perfect Sunsets

Located directly on Swan Lake Bay, this Bay Front Property is sure to win your heart.

From "Dock Of The Bay" you will enjoy fishing, crabbing, beach views, sunrises and sunsets that will take your breath away, bird watching, short walks to the beach, easy access to TPWL Kayak & Canoeing trails. At the end of Bay Ave, you will find a boat ramp right on the edge of the new Intracoastal Canal and the old Intracoastal Canal (the famous fishing hole) minutes away from Drum Bay and Christmas Bay.

Private lighted fishing pier with crab traps, fishing pole holders, built-in benches, running water & a fish cleaning station.

This home is a dream come true for this very sweet family. They looked for several years to find just the right home to make memories with their children when they stumbled onto this treasure here in Surfside Beach, TX. Throughout the remodel process they found time for fun; they caught and cooked crab, Mom caught her first Flounder and Red Fish, they have watched many beautiful sunsets, shared a few bowls of popcorn on movie nights, BUT more than anything their families journey to create life long memories has only just begun. This is why they have decided to share their dream with other families who are looking for a few moments in time that they can take back to where ever they call home.

Beautiful House on the Bay and by the Beach!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed the beautiful home decor and view of the bay. The layout of the house was wonderful for our large family. Our children loved the bunkroom with the beds, TV, games, individual cubbies, and more. The large gourmet kitchen was fantastic for cooking family meals together. We spent a lot of time on the dock fishing, crabbing, and watching the sunset. We will definitely come back to this amazing home, Dock by the Bay, when we visit Surfside.

Best Girl’s Weekend!

I rented “Dock of the Bay” for my 40th birthday girls weekend. 10 of us came down on a Friday night and stayed the weekend. The house was perfectly laid out to accommodate this many people and the kitchen to living room flow was excellent. We cooked several meals and any utensil you could possibly need was available and at our fingertips. We loved watching the sunset from the dock while having happy hour and listening to music. The house was impeccable and clean. We also enjoyed our morning strolls on the beach and the accessibility was so easy! We loved every minute of our time here and cannot wait to go back! I highly recommend this rental!

Meet the Owners of Beach Resort Services – A Family Tradition Since 1992

At Beach Resort Services, we are more than just a vacation rental company—we are a small, family-owned and operated business with deep roots in Surfside Beach. Our story began in 1957, when our parents stopped in Surfside to fish after their honeymoon in Galveston. What started as a weekend getaway soon became a lifelong tradition, leading to summers spent here as a family before finally making Surfside our home in 1976.

In 1992, our mother and founder, Catherine, who had been managing properties with Brannan Realty since 1976, took over as property manager for 13 homeowners in need—and that’s how Beach Resort Services was born. Since then, we have continued to grow, but we have never lost sight of what makes us special—family, tradition, and a passion for helping others create unforgettable beach memories.

Today, Beach Resort Services is run by a dedicated team of three—Denise, Drew, and Hope—who work tirelessly to provide exceptional service, trustworthy management, and a personal touch to every guest and homeowner we serve.

Why Choose Beach Resort Services?
✔ Locally Owned & Operated – We live, work, and play in Surfside Beach, so we know the area inside and out.
✔ Experienced & Trusted – With over 30+ years in business, we’ve built lasting relationships with homeowners and guests.
✔ Committed to Making Memories – We love what we do and are passionate about helping families create their own Surfside traditions.

When you rent with us, you’re not just booking a house—you’re joining a Surfside family that has been making beach memories for generations. We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay as special as Surfside has always been to us!

Why they chose this property

When you take all that this house has to offer you won't find a more special property on the island. From the amazing, breathtaking views of both beach & bay to the open floor plan that has that special "Coastal Feeling" from the moment you enter the front door. Not to mention the fun custom bunk bed room with "Nanny or Mommy Bed". Easy access to the beach and seconds to both boat & dock fishing. Located on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Kayak & Canoe Trails, THIS HOME IS A MUST to add to your vacation memory book!

What makes this property unique

I'm not sure what I would consider more unique, the location or the fun bunk bedroom. Both make this home a 5 Star vacation rental for sure.
