Amazing bungalow in the heart of Galveston

We had an amazing time on the island. We found this to be an ideal location as it was less then a block to the beach and a short drive to all the other attractions.The Hosts definitely cater to all types of visitors but the access to chairs for the beach, towels, sand castle making gear, boogie boards and so many other “must haves” for a day at the beach was unexpected but so awesome.The beds were amazing, the layout worked great for us and the back patio was perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better home away from home.The hosts though went above and beyond. Very accessible to answer any and all questions about the house or things to do in the area. We will be staying here again!

Literally perfect!

So close to the beach & everything was amazing! The shower outside helped keep my kids from being sandy. We came home with no laundry to do because we did it all there! There were sand toys which my kids LOVED! They had provided anything you could ask for! Let me ship some things from Amazon that I realized I had forgotten on the drive down & when we got there they’d put them inside on the table for me! Enough room for all 5 of us & then some! The only thing I wish was different is that we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful House

Everything was so clean! Small touches made us feel very welcome. The hosts were very attentive. They even put a Happy Birthday banner on the table to welcome us! Excellent location, close to the beach. Would highly recommend staying here! Was nice not having us wash the sheets, etc, or take out the trash because, as they said, we were on vacation.

Great little house

We stayed for a short get away with family from out of town. This house is seriously so cute and the six of us fit well. The owners were easy to reach and sent messages a few times to give us tips. This property is very close to the beach but you will probably have to drive to do other things in town. Also there is no ocean view from the house. My family is already talking about coming back!

Great stay in Galveston 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The property was great!!! Very short distance/walk from the beach... Clean, well organized, the kitchen was conveniently stocked with essentials.. The outdoor shower and washer/ dryer in the bathroom were an added plus.. (loved the mirror, really made the bathroom look bigger) Amanda was a great host she sent great suggestions for things to do on our trip and communicated without being intrusive or annoying.. Definitely a 5 🌟 host, property and experience 💜💜💜

This house was awesome!

If you are coming to Galveston for a beach vacation, then this is the house for you. It couldn't be closer to the beach and is on the east end, which, from our experience, is much less crowded than many of the west end sections. House seemed larger than listing says it is and was exceptionally well stocked for our trip. We brought home many of the things we bought because they were provided. I believe this was the fifth house we have rented in Galveston and it's the best so far. For the money, I don't think it can be beat. Our group was a family of five (plus one boyfriend) and we fit in the house well. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

My sister and I reserved SEAshore Bliss for us, my daughter, and her 3 little ones (5 yr old twins and a 4 yr old). The home was so cozy, and perfect accommodations for the 6 of us. The kids loved the bunk room! The kitchen made it easy to feed everyone a quick breakfast before spending the day walking to the beach, or heading out to explore, shop, or eat in some of the local restaurants. Also, the outdoor shower is a must when the little ones bring half the beach back in their suits and shoes! Thank you for helping us all make wonderdul memories together!

Magical vacation💕

This quaint little house was prepared with love! It was truly beautiful and perfect for our family of 5! The location was so wonderful..with 3 littles under 11, a block away from the beach made our beach days easy and convenient... No hauling stuff in and out of the car and no parking fees to go to the beach everyday! The hospitality from the host was incredible! She was very sweet and welcoming. She sent us a helpful and informative message prior to our visit outlining some favorite tourist attractions and family fun while we visited! She expressed excitement with us and we appreciate that very much! This was a special get away for our family and our stay there was truly wonderful! We are grateful for such an amazing experience💕We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care you put into our stay. A magical vacation spot worth going back to!

About the host

Hosted by Dana and John

Host profile image
Welcome to Galveston Island! Our names are John & Dana and together we own the Seaside Bliss. We have a passion for hosting families at our beach house by providing a beautiful, fun, pristine and safe home for you to vacation!

If this is your first time staying at the Seaside Bliss we hope you will get to enjoy your stay and explore all the amazing activities Galveston has to offer. If you are a returning guest, welcome back!

Why they chose this property

As travelers ourselves, we're excited for the opportunity to allow people to visit Galveston Island for a reasonable price; the hotel prices can be ridiculous here in the Summer, and it's better to have all of the comforts of home! We like sharing our home by the beach with others. We both love RV’ing, cruising and anything that has to do with the beach!

What makes this property unique

We're only 1/2 block from the seawall and beach. Beautifully decorated Beach house with such vibrant and happy colors guaranteed to keep you smiling your whole vacation!
