The owner was very responsive to our every need. The property was impeccably clean and decorated. The property is perfect for the romantic getaway. It is right near the seawall but also secluded like an oasis from the bustle and the crowds. When we go back to Galveston, we will book this property again!!!

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 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!
