Such a great place to be together and enjoy the beach ! We found this house to be so warm and welcoming. We have stayed in several properties around Galveston, this home is by far the most comfortable and relaxing! Such a great place to sit and watch the ocean!!!

View is unbelieveably peacefully beautiful

House is very nice. Just as shown in photos. It was rainy the 1st couple of days, so we had some mud downstairs to contend with, but doable. Unfortunately, we had a family member become critically ill and had to be admitted to UTMB ICU, so we did not get to spend as much time on the porch as we would have liked, but what we did, was beautiful. Host was great at communication.

Fantastic view and location! Typical beach house with lots of beds and a nice big table. Furniture is older. Kitchen is nice but be sure to bring trash bags and tin foil, etc. We had a comfortable stay even with a storm. The view and windows made it nice through it all. :-)

Very nice, very roomy

My family and I stayed for a long weekend for my aunts 85th birthday. Due to her age and a couple others the ramp was a necessity so we really appreciated having that and a roll in shower. The beds were a bit high with the mattress toppers but we took them off and all was good. All in all a very nice stay and the owners were so super helpful and responsive! Only negative is no golf carts on the beach in this area.

Taking just a few steps to the beach was the best part. Also the quiet location- away from the crowds. Coffee on the deck watching the sunrise. Wine on the beach at happy hour. Phones downs & reconnecting - priceless. The house had everything we needed.

Nice place on the beach

Can’t beat the location. Right on the beach. I’m sure it is because of all the rain but I highly recommend mosquito repellent. We got attacked multiple times. Can’t really blame that on the property. There were some things missing like a dvd player in the master bedroom and some missing batteries in remotes but we were there for the beach anyways so didn’t matter too much. Would stay again.

Wonderful West Beach Stay

The location of this house was perfect. Right on the beach about midway between two parking areas. The porch was large and had the tall chairs to sit in so the fence railing isn't in the way of your beach view. There are large sliding glass doors all along the front and on the east side so you could see the beach easily from inside the house. The glass was clean and the house itself was spotless. The kitchen had better cookware and dishes than most beach houses. We would happily go back!

Right on the beach!

This place was great! We had 6 adults and 7 children and had plenty of space! The house was well stocked with linens, towels, cookware and silverware, but you do have to provide your own toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and hand soap. We loved the big dining room table, we played games at night. They do have a little cabinet full of games for you to use as well! The house is so close to the beach and they also had a ton of beach toys under the house that the kids loved! We did have a minor issue but John and Deidre responded quickly and had our problems solved asap! Great hosts and great place!

Enchanted Sea Star

We enjoyed our stay at the Enchanted Sea Star! It was a perfect house right on the beach. We were 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was so nice to just walk right onto the beach. We had absolutely no issues. Lots of bathtowels!, stocked kitchen for cooking, 2 refrigerators and a washer and dryer. You will need to supply paper towels, toilet paper, toiletries for the showers, hand soap, dishwashing soap and washing detergent. Not a big deal at all!!! There is a 7 Seas grocery store right down the road full of essentials, meat, veggies, cheese, etc.,.. Nate’s seafood restaurant is there, too. You are 30 minutes from the Pleasure Pier, but it’s such a pretty drive you don’t even notice it. We had a lovely stay and we also had our dog with us :) Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house!

This house is the best! It is comfy, clean, attractive, plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, etc. and the AC works great! The ramp makes coming, going, loading and unloading super easy. Not many (or maybe not any) have that feature. It is also closer to the beach than most beachfront rentals. My family has rented in Galveston every summer for the past 40 years, and we’ve stayed in just about every type of home imaginable and this is my favorite of all. Also, the beach is not packed with day trippers like most of the locations in this area. That’s a huge plus. The front sliding door was a bit difficult to open and close, but that could happen anywhere.
