Ocean View Retreat! Pets, Fenced, Community Pool

You have found the perfect location to enjoy a wonderful beach getaway with your family and friends! This magical getaway is located across the street from the beach. The beautiful ocean views are endless and amazing. It is a short walk to the before you can have your toes in the sand and a drink in your hand. While at the beach house you will enjoy listening to the waves while you relax on the hammock, one of the tall Adirondack chairs(which offer an even better beach view), or lounging on the patio furniture. There are two wonderful outdoor dining tables on the upper and lower deck for you to enjoy a freshly grilled meal from the provided grill. There is a large fenced-in yard where you can enjoy playing outdoor games or playing fetch with your dog.

The cozy beach house has high ceilings, an open floor plan, and a large sectional that will welcome you upon arrival. The recently renovated kitchen and dining area are the perfect places to gather with friends, prepare meals, play games and enjoy time with one another. The large island offers seating for four while the dining table allows seating for 6.

The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and an outdoor shower. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed and private ensuite that was also recently renovated. Bedroom 2 also has a queen bed and shares the second bath with the third bedroom. Bedroom 3 has a wonderful bunk room that sleeps 7. It has a full over full bunk and a twin over twin with trundle.

The Terramar neighborhood has vehicle beach access at the front of the neighborhood where you can unload your beach supplies for the day and set up for a day of adventures. Not only is the beach easily accessible, but this lovely community also offers a beautiful communal pool, fishing pier, boat ramp, and covered gazebo. There are so many choices for your entire group and there is something for everyone.

The beach is amazing but the city of Galveston also has so much to offer. Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Moody Gardens, and the Pleasure Pier are some of our guest's favorites. The historic Strand district offers great shopping, dining, strolling, and La Kings Ice cream and candy store.

You will truly love this amazing getaway. We look forward to having you make magical memories with your friends and family.

Annual Family Vacation

We’ve stayed at this home for several years. We love the neighborhood and the location of the home. The porch is one of our favorite places to be. It has a shady sitting area as well as sunny to enjoy the beach view and breeze. We’ll be back!

Loved the location, of all the houses we’ve rented this one had a good breeze most days on the upper and lower decks. The home was well stocked and Kathy was so easy to work with. We hope to rent this one again next year. We loved it!

Wonderful Vacation Home

My husband and I stayed at Sunny and Chair for four nights with our baby (7 months) and two dogs. We had the best time. Part of that was because of the close proximity to the beach and the house was extremely comfortable. They had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The house was clean and spacious. We could see the sun set every evening from the deck and the seating below the deck made for a nice breezy hangout spot as well. My husband and some family that were staying down the road were able to go fishing at night. The marina had lights and was not crowded. Our dogs also enjoyed their stay. The large backyard was great for them to run around and play. Overall, we had a very pleasant and memorable stay!

Didn't Want to Leave

We stayed over a month at Sunny and Chair with our two dogs. Everyone enjoyed the huge fenced backyard, and the property was a convenient, short walk to the beach. Location was very peaceful and everyone in the neighborhood was friendly. Even though weather wasn't always cooperative, we used the large front porch as additional living space to relax and enjoy the views.

Wonderful Stay at Sunny and Chair

This was a lovely, clean house with really nice amenities. Great location with outstanding gulf views. Loved the large deck and colorful chairs. Seating on the upper deck was plentiful and the lower area was also very nice with lots of places to sit and a wonderful, refreshing outdoor shower. The yard was fenced and the perfect place for our pup to run around. The neighborhood though a bit far out on the West End, was very quiet with a nice pool and fishing dock. We’ll definitely be back!

Great vacation rental

The house was great. It had just the right number of beds and rooms for our family weekend getaway, and it was conveniently close to the beach. It has a huge backyard that can accommodate outdoor games. Loved that there is an outdoor shower to rinse off before entering the house.
