About this property
Luxurious Home - Short Walk to Beach, EV ChargerL2
3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Sleeps 8 - 2 kings, 1 queen, and 1 queen sofa bed (with a memory foam mattress)
Sapphire Shells is a coastal gem nestled near the seawall in mid-town Galveston Island. As you enter the home, you will feel the calmness of the Island from the modern coastal décor. On certain evenings, the gentle symphony of ocean waves can be heard while you unwind on the patio's rocking chairs.
You will love the open floor plan! Spend relaxing evenings in the living room with a 65-inch smart TV. Be sure to check out the chef's dream kitchen, which is fully stocked, including cookware, crockpot, griddle, etc. The Coffee Bar offers convenience with two coffee maker options: Keurig for one or a full pot for the whole family.
Sapphire Shells features 3 elegant bedrooms with black-out curtains in every bedroom for a perfect night's sleep after a busy day at the beach. All bedrooms have 55" smart ROKU TVs where guests can log into their favorite streaming service using their own login credentials.
The primary and secondary bedrooms are located on the second floor and both have KING beds. The primary suite has a spa-like ensuite with a walk-in shower and a large closet with plenty of storage. The secondary bedroom also boasts a KING bed, and there's another full bathroom upstairs with a shower/tub combo. The QUEEN bedroom and a convenient half bath are located downstairs.
