About the host
Hosted by Maria
We’re a family from North Houston who loves the coast, spending time outdoors, and creating memories together. Hosting allows us to share that joy with other families and friends who want to slow down, reconnect, and truly enjoy each other’s company. We believe there’s nothing better than coastal living to bring people closer.
Why they chose this property
Gilchrist is a hidden gem on the Bolivar Peninsula — peaceful, authentic, and full of natural treasures. We chose this spot because it has a calm, uncrowded beach, incredible beach finds, and a slower pace that lets you leave stress behind. Plus, you’re still close enough to Crystal Beach if you want restaurants or nightlife, but you can come home to quiet and starry skies.
What makes this property unique
Seas the Day was designed with togetherness in mind. The spacious mid-deck encourages outdoor living all day long, from hammocks and lawn games to grilling and sharing a meal with a Gulf breeze. The views stretch from the ocean to the bay, and the house is filled with books, games, and coastal-inspired details to help guests reconnect, rest, and make memories.
