About this property

Seraphina By The Sea is located in a tranquil beachfront neighborhood on the West End of Galveston, Texas. Our island home is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac street with direct beach access by dune walkover. A mere two-minute leisurely stroll puts your toes in the sand and your mind at ease. Our beach is closed to vehicular traffic so you can let your little ones explore the wonders of nature without worry. Watch the sun rise over the Gulf and sink into the bay from Seraphina's elevated decks.

Seraphina By The Sea is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single-family home decorated in a soothing coastal farmhouse style. The home has a beautifully decorated family room, well-stocked kitchen for the family chef, and ample seating around the expandable dining table and kitchen bar. The family room has a 65-inch 4K TV with surround sound and a media console stocked with games, books, and puzzles. A large deck with beach views has picnic tables for casual meals under the setting sun.

The main floor has a full bathroom, a bedroom with queen-size four-poster bed, and a playful bunk room for the kids. In the bunk room, several kid-friendly items such as a pack-n-play, high-chair, and infant tub are provided. A sleeper sofa in the family room rounds out the sleeping arrangements on the main floor.

Enjoy the luxurious primary bedroom encompassing the entire top floor complete with a spacious bathroom, plush king size bed, coffee bar, 65-inch 4K TV, and private deck with gulf and bay views.

On the ground level, there is a fenced-in yard, grill, picnic table, hammock, and additional seating. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is a great spot to rinse off after a day on the beach. Sand toys, beach chairs, wagon, rolling cooler, and shade canopy are available for use.

Our community, Pointe San Luis, is a quiet single-family residential neighborhood. The community pool is located on the bayside and is an ideal spot to watch the sunset over West Bay. Take a morning jog or evening stroll along our pedestrian-only beach and marvel at the natural beauty of the dunes.

Great place for family stay

This property was exactly what we needed for our family vacation, particularly flying in for the visit. We have two kids under three, and it was SO nice to have a crib, bedrail, baby monitor, high chair, toys (beach and house), cups, plates, and even a potty training seat all available without having to pack it along. Proximity to the beach was perfect too, easy for the toddler to walk. Very quiet during our offseason visit. We would definitely rent again!

Great family friendly beach house

We had our elderly parents and our kids and grandkids. The house was well supplied for all ages and was easy walking distance to a pedestrian only beach.

Great location and beach access

My family (me + spouse + 1/4/6 yo) & my elderly parents stayed for 4 days/3 nights. The property is fantastic. You can walk out the door and down the stairs and beach on the beach within 3 minutes. The beach was sparsely populated as well which was a plus. They had pretty much anything you could need for the beach (chairs, cooler, umbrellas, wagon, toys) easily accessible. The home itself was decorated well and was extremely clean. They also have anything you would need for kids (cribs, pack n play, bumbo, toys, books, etc) which is a big plus. Normally we are low maintenance, but with my elderly parents we had to reach out for a few random reasons and the hosts would always respond promptly and with any answer we needed. Added bonus was the charcoal grill downstairs which we used for 2 of the 3 nights. If I had to be picky, I would say the only negative was the lack of food options around this part of the island and that is 100% not on our hosts :) great place and would def stay there again.
