Renters Must Be 25 years of age or older to rent. Shiloh by the Sea, is an absolute must to stay for an experience you will always remember! It's a very unique home with all the modern amenities, while preserving the original structure and character. The kitchen is fully modernized to make meal prep easy. The living room area is comfortable with plenty of seating. For your entertainment, this home has WiFi so that you can stream all you favorite TV shows and movies. Built in 1894, this 130-year-old unique historical home, survived the "The 1900 Storm" that destroyed Galveston, and Hurricane Ike that ravished the Bolivar Peninsula in 2008. This two story home has 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. Shiloh by the Sea comfortably sleeps 21 guests. This home is also pet friendly with a $200 non-refundable pet fee. With the entire house being constructed of cedar wood, from floor beams to roof joist, there are to be no open flames inside the house, no grilling on the decks, no fires anywhere near the house.
To help preserve the original structure of the home, window units are used to guests cool and comfortable. Every room has a window unit and ceiling fans, as well as electric heaters to keep you warm on those chilly days!
There are decks that wrap around 3 sides of the house that are perfect for porch conversations! The upper deck provides beautiful vistas of this home's surroundings!
This property is one acre of fun in the sun with plenty of outdoor space for family time and activities. There is a box on the deck that contains balls and activity equipment as well as, a shed nearby that contains even more games and equipment such as volleyball, corn hole, and giant Jenga to just name a few! A Gazebo is conveniently located for outdoor seating which also includes gas and charcoal grills for your use. Party lights on the decks create a magical air that's perfect for dancing under the stars. There is also a fire pit that just screams,"S'MORES!" For convenience, there is an outdoor rinse station on the deck by the ramp. This ramp can be used for a wheelchair or loading ramp. This home is perfect for large gatherings or family reunions. Be sure to book your next beach getaway at Shiloh by the Sea!
