Welcome to "HAPPY IN MARGARITAVILLE". Life doesn't get any better than this! The only thing that stands between you and getting wet is a PANORAMIC VIEW of the beach!
Located at FM 3005 & 8 Mile Road, SUNNY BEACH is the closest beach community off the Seawall. All the wonderful attractions, restaurants and shopping that Galveston has to offer are just a stones throw away from the beautiful, rustic West End beaches that are just outside your back door.
4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms gives everyone plenty of privacy in this beachfront retreat. Colorful furnishings, gleaming hardwood floors and comfortable bedrooms - all on one level - make this a great choice for your next family or corporate getaway. An added bonus is the large deck with lots of furniture to sit out and enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon libation while looking at the wonderful views of the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, the house sits on 4 beachfront lots next to the wetlands giving you an unobstructed view the whole way to the Seawall. The view just simply can't be beat!
Parents, rest assured that you can sit on the deck with full view of your children on the beach.
After your fun in the sand and surf, treat yourself to the outdoor shower......it's just amazing!
The house is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need to make your Galveston vacation a great experience. The open kitchen is great for entertaining as is the huge livingroom with 20 foot cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows looking out at the beach.
Sleeping arrangements include 2 queen sized beds, 2 twins, 2 bunk beds and a full sized raised inflatable bed if needed.

This beach house is wonderful - great location on west beach (first neighborhood of beach houses) so is very convenient to all Galveston has to offer - restaurants, The Strand Historic District & shopping, Schlitterbahn, Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, etc. It is located at the end of the street on the very front row so it's like having your own "private" beach just steps away. The house is modern, clean, well maintained, and has every amenity possible including a big outdoor enclosed shower, huge deck that overlooks the beach, an ice making machine (no more lugging bags of ice from store), cable & DVD player, regular size washer & dryer, and every kitchen utensil and appliance imaginable. I will definitely recommend this beach house to family and friends!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

Our family, ages from 1 year to 77 years, has rented this immaculate property for the last 4 years. We plan to rent it every year as long as we live. We love it. The living area is huge which allows for eating and playing together. The upper deck is our favorite. A cool breeze is always there (even in July of this year) and the view spectacular. We sit on the deck sipping our tea and watching the older children making their sand castles, etc. It is so convenience for quick bathroom or snack trips from the beach.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Don & Sue..... I'm glad you had another great vacation. I'm with you about the breezes on the deck. It's my favorite part too. When the sun goes down behind the house around 3:00, the deck becomes the best part of the house. Ron

We had our Family Reunion at "MARGARITAVILLE" in Sunny Beach and it was nothing less than SPECTACULAR! Which is a lot to say when you are talking about a Family Reunion - HA. The location cannot be beat, with it being the first set of beach houses west of the seawall, made it easy to get to the Seawall, Downtown, the Store, or anywhere you wanted to go. The view was fantastic (first row) and the accommodations were elegant, yet comfortable. When we arrived the house was all set up with the window shades open, soft music playing and the A/C set to a comfortable level, so it felt like we had already been there for awhile. Not the typical - let it air out, that some beach houses can have. I would highly recommend "Margaritavile" for anyone visiting Galveston - if for a weekend, a week or a Month. And the Internet and wireless connections made it easy the few times I had to check in with the office. And then when I was done doing business, it was just a few steps to the beach to spend quality time with the Family. This place is on our list every year. Book it early....this one will go fast.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Another successful Carey reunion! Nothing more needs to be said!

My family has stayed in Happy in Margaritavile for several years now. You can't beat the location on the beach. It's the last house on front row so not only do you have a great view of the beach in front of you you have a view up the beach to Galveston without neighbors. Happy in Margaritaville is very close to grocery shopping and within walking distance of the sea wall. There are no cars allowed on Sunny Beach so it's a great place for families with small children to relax without worries of traffic. The house is well equipped with cooking equipment and utensils. All you need to bring is sunscreen and a good book.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Tammie: I'm happy that you had another fun vacation! Someday, try an off season vacation. Galveston is totally different in the cooler months. Thank you. I look forward to having you back again next year. Ron

Happy in Margaritaville is the understatement of the year. I have leased this house 3-4 times over the past few years. It is the perfect house for a quiet weekend away or a small party of friends. In 2008 I had planned to get married there. The grounds were beautiful and the perfect location to watch a full moon rise. Unfortunately, Ike blew in and changed everything. Since then the owner has rebuilt it and it is even better than before. I look forward to many more getaways.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Grace, Thank you for your kind words. Ike was devastating but just like the beach house, all of Galveston has received a major facelift and is now better than ever. Galveston and I look forward to having you back in the near future. Ron

About: I'm an overworked Realtor from Austin that can only relax at the beach. It's just a shame I have to drive 3 1/2 hours to enjoy my little paradise on the beach.
Why Sunny Beach:
I have been vacationing on Galveston's West End for 30 years. Same old 12 friends telling the same old stories over and over. I wouldn't have it any other way. It's our twice a year "Big Chill" weekend. Other than those two big weekends, I totally love my other times to the beach either just by myself or with a few friends.
Galveston is truly a gem. There is so much history and fun things to do here. That's why I bought my house. It's the best of both worlds.....rustic beaches close to fun.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Galveston has become such a great culinary town. The restaurants are amazing. Get to know the local places.
You will never get bored. Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, The Flight Museum, Historical homes, The Strand for great shopping, Golf & Spas are just some of the other things to do when not enjoying the beach. Also, it seems like Galveston has one event after another such as Mardi Gras, Dickens on the Strand, The Festival of Lights, Biker Weekend and more parades than any single town should have. Get out and enjoy everything she has to offer!
