Classic octagon house with excellent beach and jetty views!

This adorable seaside cottage sleeps up to 6 comfortably in the 'Best Gulf Beach Town as rated by Gulf Shores Magazine. Fish N' Ships sits in the pedestrian beach area. Located on a corner lot near the jetty, just a short walk down the beach. The front of the house is lined with windows to let in plenty of natural light and spacious views. Open concept living area with lovely beach decor throughout the home.

Surfside is paradise for those with many interests offering some of the best surfing and birding in Texas. With its unique octagonal design, this beach house offers amazing 360 degree views. The aptly named, Fish-n-Ships features a large deck to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and views of the beach, along with the Texas Ship Channel where ships arrive from all over the world and the fishing is world class! Next door is a play park, volleyball courts and a splash pad.

Discover a variety of activities nearby since you are steps away from one of the best surfing breaks on the Gulf Coast and ample beach to set out your sun chairs. Head to the jetty to watch the fun from the granite surf bench, look for dolphins dancing in the waves, or grab your fishing tackle to cast your luck for the prized trout or bull red. Try crabbing at the nearby crabbing pier. No luck? No worries! Surfside has several eateries to enjoy fresh food for lunch or dinner.

A few blocks north is the site of the first battle of the Texas Revolution where you can see a replica of historic Fort Velasco. Stop along your walks in the beautiful Butterfly Park and Nature Preserve or relax in this quiet sanctuary, and even enjoy a spectacular Texas Sunset. Better yet head back to the house and fire up the outdoor grill and enjoy some of the best sunset views in all of Surfside right off your back porch!

Relax after a fun-filled day by watching a movie with the family or sitting out in the fresh air to star gaze the southern skies. Plan for some early morning birding in the hopes of spotting numerous local favorites such as the Roseate Spoonbill, the Snow Egret, and the great Blue Heron before you drift off to sleep with the ocean waves gently crashing along the shore in the background.

Fish-n-Ships is a family favorite for guests from all over the world and a year-round great place to reside! Bed linens, bath towels, Wi-Fi and satellite television are all included with your stay. Bring your friends and family...you'll have no problem finding fun in the sun!
