722 Beach Drive is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beachfront property on Pedestrian Beach listed at $485,000 with no HOA, an oversized lot, and unobstructed Gulf views.
A Beachfront Address on Car-Free Sand
Most people don't realize that Surfside Beach has a stretch of coastline where vehicles aren't allowed on the sand. It's called Pedestrian Beach, and 722 Beach Drive sits directly on it. That means no trucks driving past while your kids build sandcastles. No tire tracks at sunrise. Just open Gulf and clean sand, steps from the front deck.
This 1,093-square-foot home was built in 1958 and sits on an oversized 8,189-square-foot lot in Brazoria County — well above average for the area. The raised foundation is standard and practical for coastal construction, and the composition roof and electric HVAC keep maintenance straightforward.
Pedestrian Beach — What That Actually Means Vehicles are prohibited on this stretch of Surfside Beach coastline. No ATVs, no trucks, no tire tracks. Car-free sand is a premium feature that vacation rental guests and full-time residents actively seek — and it directly impacts your STR demand and nightly rate.
What's Inside 722 Beach Drive
The open-concept layout connects the kitchen directly to the living area, creating a single flow from the front door to the Gulf view. Vinyl plank flooring runs throughout — durable enough for sandy feet and beach-day traffic.
The real centerpiece is the expansive front deck. It faces the Gulf with unobstructed views — the kind of space where you host Friday happy hours, watch storms roll in, or just sit with coffee while the waves do their thing.
Move-in or rent-ready from day one. Every appliance is included. There is no renovation phase here — just arrival and enjoyment.
Who This Home Is For
722 Beach Drive fits three buyer profiles almost perfectly.
The Weekend Escaper
Houston, DFW, or Austin professional who wants a beach escape without a $700K budget. Direct beachfront. No HOA. About an hour from downtown Houston.
The STR Investor
No HOA means full short-term rental flexibility. Pedestrian Beach commands a search-filter premium on Airbnb and VRBO. Turnkey condition means income starts on day one.
The Coastal Empty Nester
Done with maintenance projects. All appliances included, low-upkeep coastal construction, and a Gulf view that earns its keep every single morning.
Why Surfside Beach, TX
Surfside Beach is a small, unincorporated community in Brazoria County — about an hour south of Houston. There are no high-rises, no chain hotels, and no stoplights. It's a fishing-and-flip-flops kind of town with a growing reputation among buyers who want coastal property without the tourist-town markup.
The Pedestrian Beach section is particularly desirable. Car-free sand is a premium feature that families and vacationers actively search for when booking rentals or choosing a beach community. At $485,000 with no HOA and direct beachfront access, this price point is increasingly rare on the Texas coast. Comparable beachfront in Galveston or South Padre typically starts well above this range.
Carter Signature Properties — the largest brokerage on the island — has deep roots in this corridor and can walk you through comps, STR revenue data, and everything else you need to make a confident decision.
Yes. This property sits directly on the Pedestrian Beach section of Surfside Beach, where vehicles are not permitted on the sand. It's a car-free stretch of Gulf coastline.
No. There is no homeowners association, which gives the owner full flexibility for personal use, vacation rentals, or future property modifications.
The property's beachfront location, no-HOA structure, and turnkey condition make it well-suited for short-term rental use. Buyers should verify current local rental regulations with Brazoria County.
The lot is 8,189 square feet — well above average for Surfside Beach properties — providing extra outdoor space and beach access frontage.
