Sea, Sand, and Stars Spectacular Stay!
This was the perfect spot for life-long friends of 50+ years to come relax and refresh. The rooms were very clean and everything had it's perfect place. The colors were light and airy and the owners thought of everything we needed, all enclosed in a great notebook. We rented a golf cart, but mainly for coolers and chairs We easily walked to the beach. Also, the location of the house was so close to the best restaurant Stingaree, we could drive the golf cart. A gas station was also easy to get to for quick items we might have forgotten. Any questions we had about the rental before we went, were answered the same day by the owners. We didn't have any questions upon arrival, because everything was taken care of ahead of time. I like that they requested a check-in and check-out text, it made us feel like we could ask anything and they would take care of it! I would recommend this to anyone with children too, because of the bunkbed space! Adults slept comfortably in the bunks as well. We will definitely be renting again!

Family & friends getaway
We had a great getaway at Sea, Sand & Stars. The property was well kept and the house was clean. All of the rooms worked great for our group, the only thing that would of improved our stay would be having a door on the bunkroom which connects to the hallway. Other than that minor thing, the house was perfect and we'll likely use it again.

Why they chose this property

With two elevated stories of living space, this home allows for incredible over-rooftop views of the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay and the Inter-Coastal Waterway that other vacation homes in the area just don't have. It's westward facing orientation showcases incredible sunsets and if the weather is right, nightly fireworks shows from Pleasure Pier in Galveston can be seen. The breezes off the balcony are also amazing. We fell in love with this home as soon as we walked through the door and we're sure you will too.

What makes this property unique

Third story views above the rooftops guarantee incredible sights of the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay and ICW (Inter-Coastal Waterway).
