We always find a VRBO when we want to go somewhere due to most have kitchens and all hotels do not. Mr Bill was wealth of information and a great pleasure to meet. I usually do not visit with the host that much but I would have certainly missed out if I would not have visited with him! We will definitely stay again.

Check in was simple. I had a bump in the road with my travels coming in and Bill was completely understanding. He was friendly and welcoming during my unexpected, late arrival. The location is near all of the main attractions of Galveston which was super nice for time management. Steps to the beach. The house was very cute!

Perfect Getaway

Sea Shell was the perfect getaway for me and my wife. It was beautifully furnished and decorated and had everything we needed. We walked to the beach from the house. Checkin was easy. We would definitely stay again.

We had the most incredible stay at The Seashell House on Galveston Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the coastal décor and the warm, inviting atmosphere. The house is beautifully maintained, thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, and just steps from the sand and surf. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying coffee became the highlight of our mornings. The outdoor space was perfect for evening stargazing and making memories with my wife. Whether we were lounging on the patio or heading out to explore the beach, this house made it all feel effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our Galveston getaway. The Seashell House truly lives up to its name—it’s a little piece of paradise. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks, Bill, for a wonderful weekend.
