New Listing! Relaxing Beachfront Escape

Welcome to Galveston Sea Star!

LOCATION

This beautiful beachfront home is nestled in the cozy Sea Isle neighborhood which is approximately 25 minutes from Galveston. You will have easy access to the restaurants and attractions Galveston offers while enjoying a more private feel at the beach and incredible ocean views.

THE HOME

You are just steps away from the beach. From the backyard, take the private path through the dunes for a short walk to one of the best beaches that Galveston has to offer. Easily come back to the house throughout the day to grab a snack or rest. Rinse off the sand using the private outdoor shower conveniently located on the lower patio. Enjoy cooking and eating together around the kitchen bar and dining table that joins with the family room. The open floor plan allows you to enjoy the beautiful ocean views from any one of these rooms and never feel secluded from the action.

BEDROOMS

The home consists of three bedrooms and two full baths with the master bedroom located on the main level featuring a king size bed, smart TV, and direct access to the bathroom with walk-in shower. The remaining two bedrooms are located upstairs. Bedroom #2 features a queen bed with smart TV and Bedroom #3 has two sets of twin bunk beds and features a TV with DVD player. Both bedrooms upstairs share a Jack and Jill bathroom with shower/tub combination. There is also a ‘Murphy Bed’ located in the family room on the main level. The bed folds into the cabinet during the day and can be easily brought out at night (please see photos).

DURING YOUR STAY

Upon your arrival, use the upper-level deck on the beachside of the house to access the front door. Inside you will find a wide open floor plan complimented by beautiful ocean views. Grab some beach toys provided onsite and take a short walk using the private path directly to the beach. Hang out with your group on the beach building sandcastles, surfing on boogie boards, or just relaxing on the beach. Utilize the lower patio for excellent shade from the sun which features a wooden porch swing for ultimate relaxation along with a picnic bench for outdoor BBQs. You will also find a charcoal grill to make your favorite burgers or steaks. Nighttime walks along the beach can be a great opportunity to search for ‘ghost crabs’. These small nocturnal crabs are completely harmless but fun to spot making their way across the sand. Don’t forget to bring your flashlight!

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Galveston features a number of attractions that serve as fun adventures for you and your group including Moody Garden’s Pyramids, Schlitterbahn Water Park, The Strand, and more. We provide additional information regarding these area attractions within our guest app.

BEACH ACCESSORIES STOCKED AT THE PROPERTY

The home is stocked with beach items to enhance your experience and reduce the number of items you need to purchase and pack for your trip. These items typically include boogie boards, sandcastle toys, beach umbrellas, etc. Due to the nature of beach items, we are unable to guarantee all items are available or in pristine condition. Although we restock these items on an ongoing basis, they are used by guests and do incur wear.

This home is well-stocked starting with a kitchen that has just about everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals. Just bring your favorite ingredients! All beds are made prior to your arrival with clean sheets. Freshly laundered hand towels, bath towels, and beach towels are provided. We also provide a starter kit of paper products intended to make your first day comfortable but you will need to plan on purchasing supplies on your way to the home or after your arrival.

NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES

Within the neighborhood there is the nearby West End Marina which features a restaurant, bar, store, and bait shop. Just across the street you can easily drop by Sea Isle Supermarket for a wide variety of items. The community pool is also available for guest use with an additional fee.

This home is really lovely and the view of the ocean was just like the photos! I took a quick trip to Galveston as a treat for my mom and kids at the end of the summer. My mom and I loved how peaceful and beautiful it was at the house and that you can enjoy the scenery sitting outside or inside. My kids loved the bunk bed set up and how easily they could get to the beach to explore and swim. It's a bit of a drive to east Galveston attractions but is worth it in exchange for the quieter stay. The management company and owners were very responsive, and the home is well stocked which minimized the need to unpack some things we typically bring with us. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and we definitely look forward to returning again!

Great house, awesome stay

My family has been staying in this house for a week in the summer on and off since it was built in the 90s.This trip had a couple hiccups that were resolved quickly. I let the property owner know that we started getting a some ants in the house (this is unavoidable in Galveston) and there was an exterminator there literally in less than half an hour. We didn't see another ant the rest of the week. I was grateful and impressed with how quickly the owner responded and fixed the issue. I was honestly expecting ant traps and they sent an exterminator. Well done there. Then, we accidentally left some books in the house, and the property owner mailed them back to me. Also, loved that there was no crazy chore list before checking out. Overall, I was really impressed with the condition of the house and the responsiveness of the owner. I love the location (Sea Isle) and will definitely return in future years.

We enjoyed this lovely house, with a short walk to the beach. It was spotlessly clean and communication with the property manager prior to our visit was good. My only complaint is that we ran out of toilet paper in the master bath, and there wasn't a spare roll to be found anywhere. Overall, a minor problem.

The tv in the bun room wouldn’t work so some of the kids wouldn’t sleep in the bunk room because it was too dark. Bought food to grill as it states there was a grill that could be used but it was coated in rust so we couldn’t grill. I didn’t love that the checkout was at 11 because of the instructions for check out including doing the laundry, dishes and stripping the beds. That didn’t really leave anytime to just vacation and enjoy the family today.

We loved this house last year. The location, the layout, the space and access to the beach is wonderful 👌 The only sour note, there were gnats coming out of the kitchen and upstairs restroom. They were extremely annoying. I called the phone number on the frig and I never received a text or phone call back.

Good place for families with young kids!

This property is great for families with young children. It has direct beach access and the upstairs is ideally set up to have parents in one room and the kids in the bunk room across the bathroom. They even had kid stuff in the house and safety rails for the top bunk. The house is one of the most well-stocked that I have seen which made life easier. They had several rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, hand soap, trash bags, (even baggies!), shampoo and conditioner, a good amount of beach towels and bath towels, as well as plenty of blankets and pillows. The kitchen had everything we needed. The garage downstairs had boogie boards, a tent for the beach, and sand toys. The tent is great so you don't have to haul yours. Two things to bring with you that they did not have: 1) A baby gate if you have toddlers. The deck does not have a gate to close it off from the stairs to the beach. We often had to figure out a way to block the steps from my 20-mo. 2) Beach chairs. There were plenty of kid chairs, but there were none that could fit an adult. We had to go buy beach chairs or we would have had to sit on the sand the whole time. The 4-star rating is due to communication with the host. We went the first day of a tropical storm. I sent a text and message through the app verifying the property was still accessible and not flooded out. We did not hear back about it until a day before our trip was over. Luckily we went anyway and took the risk.

Terrific location, nice property!

The Sea Star property on Sea Isle is excellent. The house is in great shape, plenty of kitchen supplies and gadgets, and lots of room in the house. The unobstructed beach views and access are perfect. Since this property is on a "no-drive" stretch of beach, the beach was practically deserted during our stay...it was perfect for what we wanted. Communication from hosts was good and they were quick to respond to important questions. We will come back to this house again.
