This was our 2nd time staying at this property…so obviously, we love it! It’s beautiful, very clean and steps away from the beach! What more could you ask for? Also, I personally love that it has ramps instead of stairs. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely perfect! Located right by the beach, this house was clean and has so much space. If you need anything, Galveston is just a short 15-20 minute drive. The beach was maintained and never crowded. We will for sure be returning. Also, we have to give a shout out to a local pizzeria, the Way West Grill and Pizzeria was fabulous. Located in Jamaica Beach, so not even 7 minutes, this mom and pop restaurant has the best thin crust pizza and the service was amazing. Our daughter had a quesadilla, and let me tell you, that thing was stuffed full of chicken and cheese. So trust us- you won’t regret staying here! Beautiful place, small town feel, right on the water- absolutely best vacation this year.

Family Fun!

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!!! If you are looking for a place to gather a big family, this is it!!!

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. :-)

Right on the beach! Home stocked well with dishes and utensils and cups for a ton of people. It was wonderful to have a ramp for my mil and the dogs to get to the deck. My mil said she felt like another person just sitting on the deck and watching the waves.

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.

Beach Paradise

Beautiful location, well stocked, comfy beds, cold A/C, homey vibe. The only thing that surprised me was this beach house has sand underneath and not the concrete we're used to. We hosed the table off and all was well. Hosts are great.

Beach Get away

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!
