Family Get Together

We had our 3 children, their spouses, and our 2 grandchildren. The house was so well stocked with kitchen supplies and beach items. The outdoor shower and shaded carport were delightful. It was easy and short walk to the beach.

FABULOUS VACA BEACH HOUSE!!!

This house is THE beach house for comfort, space, and location, location, location! Arpita and Vijay were so welcoming and have thought of everything to relieve the stress of overpacking to travel and enjoy the beach! The house is situated perfectly at the end of just one of the cul-de-sacs in Pirates Beach, which is a very quiet and very safe little neighborhood, with a lovely view of the ocean from 2 separate balconies. Every space had the comfort of home - the large living area with huge sectional seating, the bedrooms designed for everyone to have their own "living quarters" with private bath in each, the playroom for the kids including books and games and a video game unit, as well as the kitchen and dining area where we prepped, cooked, and shared many meals together with ample room for 9! We spent a full non-beach day downstairs on the porch area coloring at the picnic tables, grilling, sitting on the swing, and letting the kids play in the yard on the great playset. The house is only 5 minutes from our favorite restaurant, Waterman's, as well as other great spots to eat and mini marts to grab quick grocery items. It's a quick 10-minute drive to Pleasure Pier for a fun day of rides, games, and ice-cream. Kroger, Wal-Mart, and Target are between 5 and 10 minutes away. We were completely impressed and satisfied with our accommodations and hope to return!!

Amazing home! Amazing location!

Leave all the stress behind! This house had EVERYthing! It was stocked like home, if you needed something it was there! Very clean, comfortable, just felt like home away from home! Close to stores and restaurants. Quick drive to downtown fun but far enough for relaxation and peace. Cute and quiet neighborhood. Quick walk to the beach. The fenced in back yard was amazing for our pup! Fire was fun to sit around in the evenings. Loved sitting on the porch with coffee/cocktails looking at the ocean! We will be back soon!!

Amazing Beach House

Arpita's beach house was perfect for our family of 4. The house itself was the cleanest property we have ever stayed at and the hosts were easy to communicate with and truly thought of everything. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious and the main living area had a perfect layout. The house would comfortably fit another family or two. We traveled with our 3 year old and 8 month old and they had absolutely everything we needed for our kids. The only thing we had to bring was a wagon which we did need to carry our beach supplies to and from the beach. The beach itself was immaculate (no seaweed) and about a 4 minute walk from the house. We had the beach to ourselves most of the week. Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations!

Perfect family getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sea la Vie. The house was beautiful and clean and the outside area was perfect for our family. We loved hanging out around the fire pit in the afternoons and our little one enjoyed the swing set. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short walk to the beach. Everything about this rental was perfect and we will definitely be back!

A definite do-over at this awesome house!

Wow! Can’t say enough great things about this home!! Great location with an easy walk to the beach and a fabulous view from the deck and kitchen. Loved the covered area off to the side of the deck with comfy outdoor furniture. Perfectly stocked kitchen, coffee bar, and comfortable beds, with bedrooms well laid out for families (or couples). Adults can enjoy TV downstairs while kiddos can watch TV in the upstairs playroom as they wind down from a busy day. Beautifully decorated and magazine worthy bathrooms. Ground level is a parents dream with a fenced in yard and playground, large area for adults to hang out and watch the Astros games, grill and even play corn hole that the owner provides! There is an outdoor shower, sink, toilet and refrigerator! I can tell you that the owners thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay as easy as possible!!!! Looking forward to going back in the fall to use that outdoor fire pit!!! Thanks to the owners for providing such an amazing home away from home for my family to make wonderful memories!!

Wonderful house!

We had a great time at this beautiful home! I took my daughter and some of her friends (teens) and they had a blast! The house was decorated to absolutely get you in the beach mood! It also had everything you need especially in the kitchen. They even had snacks and waters when we arrived. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were spacious and showers were big. They even had beach towels which came in handy since some of the teens forgot theirs. My favorite thing was the short walk to the beach which made it easy to come back and forth when we needed a little break from the water. The patio areas were my favorite areas because you can see the water from both balconies and I would sit there in the mornings and the evenings to relax and because the teens took over the big couch in the living room watching movies. We will definitely be back! The owner was amazing and so quick to respond with any question I had. I can’t wait for our next visit.

Great weekend stay

We stayed over the memorial day weekend. The house was perfect for the 10 of us. Everything we needed for a great stay. The host was kind enough to allow us to use sand toys, tent, boogie boards. Huge covered patio downstairs was great for hanging out. The deck upstairs was also great for people watching and enjoying the view and breeze . The location of the house was great as well, just a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach. Neighborhood was lovely. Lots of families enjoying the beach. The house itself was very clean, great layout, all the necessities, overall very pleasant. We will Be back!
