Serenity by the Sea - Walk to Beach - Quiet Family Retreat
Enjoy a peaceful stay at Serenity by the Sea, a quiet family-friendly beach home just a short walk from the shore on Bolivar Peninsula. This 3-bedroom home features 2 king beds and 2 twin bunk beds sleeping 8, providing plenty of space and comfort for families or couples traveling together.
The home offers three bathrooms, air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort, and an open layout that makes it easy to relax after a day at the beach.
Located three rows back from the beach, Serenity by the Sea offers a quieter setting while still being an easy walk or golf cart ride to the sand and surf. You can even see the water from the house.
One of the best parts of staying here is enjoying the outdoors. Wake up early and sit outside with your coffee watching the sunrise, then unwind in the evening watching the beautiful coastal sunsets. Guests also love lounging in the hammock under the house while feeling the Gulf breeze.
Our part of the peninsula is known for being one of the quietest areas, making it great for families. Kids can ride bikes, play outside, and explore more safely, while other areas of the peninsula tend to be busier with houses closer together.
Whether you're here for a family getaway or a relaxing coastal escape, this home provides a comfortable and welcoming place to unwind and enjoy everything the Bolivar Peninsula has to offer.
The Galveston ferry is only about 6 miles away, making it easy to take a quick trip across the water. Galveston offers so much to do, including shopping, restaurants, attractions, and entertainment.
On Bolivar Peninsula you can also rent jet skis, take helicopter rides, book fishing excursions, visit Margaritaville, explore local boutiques, and enjoy several amazing restaurants just minutes down the road.
Our nightly rate includes full access to the home and amenities. A one-time $150 professional cleaning fee covers deep cleaning, fresh linens, and laundry between every guest.
