The Big, Blue House

The big, blue house was a great place for our family gathering. Forewarned that the coded front entry lock was intermittently reliable, we simply used the key. The elevator was a godsend! The kitchen was well fortified with everything we needed. The pantry shelves, cabinet shelves, and drawers could benefit from a deep clean. The large dining room table was perfect for the size of our family for meals, games, and art projects! The views from the third floor were beautiful. We had a wonderful time!

A group of 19 of us stayed at this property for a girl scout trip (10 kids, 9 adults). The space was perfect for our needs. It's close enough to the beach that kids/parents could pop out when they wanted, but the whole group didn't have to go. You can see kids playing on the beach from a number of spots throughout the house. There are so many different sleeping spaces that every family unit that attended was able to have their own quarters and a bunk room for a bigger group of kids. It's a 13 minute drive to the nearest grocery store, making it really convenient to cook and not have to go out. There were lots of beach towels provided by the house. There were a couple of things that we needed to pick up from Kroger, like dishwashing pods, laundry detergent, and paper towels, but this was no problem at all. All in all, we had a really excellent experience here and would certainly look to book again for a similar trip.

Easter Beach Stay and just a few feet away.

Amazing house and a beautiful view with a path that's just a few steps from the beach. All the amenities you need, big kitchen, plenty of rooms, minutes from convinience stores and an elevator to haul our luggage and get our over 90 grandfather to his floor. Many great memories made, we loved every minute of our stay. A.

Fantastic House

We have been doing a family beach trip for 22 years now - this year there were 14 of us ranging in age from 1 to 75. Can’t say enough good things about the house. It is stocked way better than most houses, great bedrooms, plenty of space for everyone and having an elevator is amazing. The beach is a very short walk away - very clean and car free.

Great Home for a family reunion

Home is second row from the beach. Not on beach front, but with the open balconies and views on the beach, it is really nice. The elevator is the best feature and was very useful for our handicapped seniors.

About the host

Hosted by JLM Rentals - Leslie

We are Jeff and Leslie, retired professionals who love to travel and enjoy live. We have four homes (located in Galveston, TX, Northern Michigan - Petoskey, Southern CA - Ventura and a condo in NYC on the upper west side) all of our homes are set up as vacation rentals. We bounce between our homes based on seasons and rental schedules. During the summer we works as aquatic and waterfront directors at over-night youth summer camp in the Poconos.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home as a place to bring our families together and create lifelong memories. Our two children and their spouses both live in the Houston area and both have two daughters, we rented a home in the historic section of Galveston for a couple of family weekends and decided it made sense to purchase a family home on the beach for weekends and holidays holiday get-togethers.

Often we have non Houston family members join us. The name of the house MarSea~Shoals is a play of both of our last names and since "mar" is sea in Spanish and a shoal is a sand bar and also "trouble" it seemed the perfect combination.

We hope our home will bring your family and friends together to create memories.
