This is an amazing house. I don’t think you could find a more perfect location. You probably walk 30 seconds and you’re on the beach. The layout of the house is open and was great for watching the football games.We brought my daughter and her friends for her 18th birthday. There were ample beds for all the girls and the adults to have their own bedrooms.We appreciated how much the owners provided us in the kitchen because we cooked every meal. You definitely have to bring your own ice! The outdoor furniture is great, even though we didn’t use it. The swing outside the master bedroom is a really nice touch.Bring your own beach chairs, though!But for any future weekends in Galveston, this house will be my #1 choice.

A group of 19 of us stayed at this property for a girl scout trip (10 kids, 9 adults). The space was perfect for our needs. It's close enough to the beach that kids/parents could pop out when they wanted, but the whole group didn't have to go. You can see kids playing on the beach from a number of spots throughout the house. There are so many different sleeping spaces that every family unit that attended was able to have their own quarters and a bunk room for a bigger group of kids. It's a 13 minute drive to the nearest grocery store, making it really convenient to cook and not have to go out. There were lots of beach towels provided by the house. There were a couple of things that we needed to pick up from Kroger, like dishwashing pods, laundry detergent, and paper towels, but this was no problem at all. All in all, we had a really excellent experience here and would certainly look to book again for a similar trip.

The Big, Blue House

The big, blue house was a great place for our family gathering. Forewarned that the coded front entry lock was intermittently reliable, we simply used the key. The elevator was a godsend! The kitchen was well fortified with everything we needed. The pantry shelves, cabinet shelves, and drawers could benefit from a deep clean. The large dining room table was perfect for the size of our family for meals, games, and art projects! The views from the third floor were beautiful. We had a wonderful time!

Easter Beach Stay and just a few feet away.

Amazing house and a beautiful view with a path that's just a few steps from the beach. All the amenities you need, big kitchen, plenty of rooms, minutes from convinience stores and an elevator to haul our luggage and get our over 90 grandfather to his floor. Many great memories made, we loved every minute of our stay. A.

Fantastic House

We have been doing a family beach trip for 22 years now - this year there were 14 of us ranging in age from 1 to 75. Can’t say enough good things about the house. It is stocked way better than most houses, great bedrooms, plenty of space for everyone and having an elevator is amazing. The beach is a very short walk away - very clean and car free.

Another Great Stay at Mar-Sea Shoals!

This was our third time to stay in this home, and it did not disappoint! Large living areas, plenty of seating at the dining table, a full kitchen--the house has everything our large group needed for a getaway. The location is great, at the end of a quiet street with easy beach access and beautiful view of sunset. We were sad to see the signage for a new development planned for the green space next to the house but hopefully that will be a long time coming. We hope to back again next year!

Our New Favorite

This was our favorite place to stay in Galveston so far. It worked really well for our traditional family beach vacation. I am very particular about cleanliness. This house was one of few that was up to my standards. This was the most important characteristic I was looking for (aside from being in the right place and having the right number of beds). This is a very well maintained house. There was plenty room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the layout is nice for a group of families. the house is very well furnished and decorated. Comfortable, relaxed. Plenty of seating. All the little details that make it awesome. The views of the beach are amazimg from the decks! It is very easy to access the beach, just a few steps and you are there. The beach was fairly private, with only a couple other families from the neighborhood and a big open empty stretch on the right. I think it is very likely that we choose this location again next time!

Beach Boil

This house was perfect for a quick weekend with friends. We hosted a crawfish boil and there was plenty room to accomodate overnight guests. 15 second walk to the beach was ideal. Make sure to bring mosquito spray, but everything else was perfect.
