About this property

Relaxing Beachfront Escape In Sea Isle! 3 BR/2 BA with Great Views

We invite you to come and stay at our beautiful beachfront home, the Galveston Sea Star, located in the Sea Isle community! Enjoy incredible views of the gulf while relaxing on the balcony or spend time with family downstairs at the picnic table during a cookout.

The Sea Star will sleep up to 10 people in 3 bedrooms and a downstairs Murphy bed. Each room includes a TV and fresh linens on the beds. The living room provides spectacular views of the ocean as well as easy access to the kitchen. The downstairs floor has wood floors throughout and the kitchen provides granite counter-tops and stainless appliances.

The beach is car-free (other than the occasional city beach official), giving parents more peace of mind when your kids are playing. The home includes an outdoor shower, a picnic table and 2 person swing, fast broadband internet, HDTV's, Blu-Ray players, and a spacious dining area. Cell phone reception in the area can be bad, so there is also a landline phone to make calls to your friends and loved ones.

Your stay will include access to the community tennis court, private fishing pier, and fish cleaning station. You also have the option to purchase a pass to the Sea Isle community pool. Located just 1.4 miles away, the hangout also has an excellent restaurant and bar.

We are happy to consider up to 2 dogs, but will not accept any dogs weighing more than 25 pounds, NO EXCEPTIONS. All dogs must be disclosed upon inquiry.

Please feel free to e-mail or call us with any questions about the property. Thank you for looking and we hope you have a wonderful vacation!

This is our 2nd time renting
We loved this house last year. The location, the layout, the space and access to the beach is wonderful 👌 The only sour note, there were gnats coming out of the kitchen and upstairs restroom. They were extremely annoying. I called the phone number on the frig and I never received a text or phone call back.

Good place for families with young kids!
This property is great for families with young children. It has direct beach access and the upstairs is ideally set up to have parents in one room and the kids in the bunk room across the bathroom. They even had kid stuff in the house and safety rails for the top bunk. The house is one of the most well-stocked that I have seen which made life easier. They had several rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, hand soap, trash bags, (even baggies!), shampoo and conditioner, a good amount of beach towels and bath towels, as well as plenty of blankets and pillows. The kitchen had everything we needed. The garage downstairs had boogie boards, a tent for the beach, and sand toys. The tent is great so you don't have to haul yours. Two things to bring with you that they did not have: 1) A baby gate if you have toddlers. The deck does not have a gate to close it off from the stairs to the beach. We often had to figure out a way to block the steps from my 20-mo. 2) Beach chairs. There were plenty of kid chairs, but there were none that could fit an adult. We had to go buy beach chairs or we would have had to sit on the sand the whole time. The 4-star rating is due to communication with the host. We went the first day of a tropical storm. I sent a text and message through the app verifying the property was still accessible and not flooded out. We did not hear back about it until a day before our trip was over. Luckily we went anyway and took the risk.

Fantastic stay
We have been coming down to Galveston with our family for the past 3 years, and have finally found a place that we want to continue staying at on future trips. The house is well laid out, well provisioned and well situated right on the beach. We’re already planning our next booking.

Terrific location, nice property!
The Sea Star property on Sea Isle is excellent. The house is in great shape, plenty of kitchen supplies and gadgets, and lots of room in the house. The unobstructed beach views and access are perfect. Since this property is on a "no-drive" stretch of beach, the beach was practically deserted during our stay...it was perfect for what we wanted. Communication from hosts was good and they were quick to respond to important questions. We will come back to this house again.

Perfect Place
We absolutely loved our stay! The property was clean and offered a fully stocked kitchen. Beach towels and other perks that makes the trip stress free! The location is amazing and beach access a breeze. Each room beautifully decorated and we loved having our coffee over looking the ocean every morning. well thought out and considerate amenities that our family feel at home away from home!

Wonderful Beach home for family vacation!!
This was our second time to stay and it is the perfect place for our family. The access to the beach is amazing and the home has plenty of room for all ages. The kitchen is well equipped for us to make meals and enjoy them at the large family table or outside on the deck. The shower downstairs is a nice amenity to get all the sand off before heading into the house. Sea Isle is a great place, not crowded like the east end but close enough to drive in to explore Galveston. By far one of our favorite homes we’ve stayed in!!

Ants, Dirty Bedding & Mattress, But Great Location
We stayed 15 nights in May 2023 at Galveston Sea Star. With so many 5-star reviews you would expect this rental to be perfect and “in pristine condition” as described in the listing. However: Toilet has black, disgusting caked-on crud. Grime on cabinets and doors ANTS in kitchen, dining area & on the wall. Many ant bait traps set in the kitchen. Due to ants, I emptied a cabinet, cleaned it out and sprayed RAID that was already at the house. Open food packages need to be tossed. King mattress has a big yellow NASTY stain! I covered it with a folded throw that had already been left under the mattress pad. King mattress pad had stains that looked like blood! I washed and replaced. Entire house needs deep-cleaning. Furnishings are as shown in the listing, but no ottomans in the living room. Property has lots of towels, kitchen stuff; the washer and dryer work fine. The drains in the showers are clear. WIFI is great, cell phone reception is iffy and TV does not receive local stations, but you have access to plenty of free movies. Thermostat keeps the house at the desired temperature most of the time. This was not our first time renting a beach house. This house is beautifully furnished – just not adequately kept up. Cursory cleaning between guests is not enough. Owners need to hire a professional to get rid of the ants, throw out the foodstuffs, replace the king mattress and deep clean. Then, the Galveston Sea Star will be an EXCEPTIONAL rental “in pristine condition.”

Relaxing Christmas on the beach
I went with my adult children, so I had the downstairs master and they shared the upstairs, my daughter and boyfriend in the queen room and my son in the bunk room. This house worked great for our needs. The downstairs is open and airy with lots of great seating for relaxing, reading, and watching the sunrise, a fold out table for puzzling, and spacious, well appointed kitchen for meal prep. Easy access to the beach is a plus. Lots of closet space for storage. It was big enough for us this time, but not when both kids have families.

Good spot for family
The good: Beach is 20 yds away Location is perfect ( away from the craziness of Galveston) Fishing is good Cute house EVERY beach toy you need is in the garage. Needs improvement: Needs to be deep cleaned. Grime on cabinets, hairs on sinks, a lot of old books and games need to be thrown away and clutter eliminated. 2nd floor sleeping area was much hotter, even with AC. Both shower drains were not working properly. Doors and windows need to be repaired and/or updated. Overall, cute place that needs to be better maintaned.

The view, the beach, the house, and our stay was perfect. We had a crab boil on the balcony picnic table and watched the sunset. We walked the beach at dawn and were alone. Clean, well stocked, and worth every penny. I highly recommend recharging with beach time here!

Great!
Everything was great the location, there was hardly anyone on the beach and very spaced out due tonit being a private beach the rooms were spacious, they had beach towels, linens, left a bottle of wine and chocolates, sun screen, plenty of things in the garage for kids to play with. We take a beach trip to galveston once a year and definitely want to come back. On top of everything already great my son left his nintendo switch there and they found it and mailed it back to us! Would highly recommend especially to families!

About the host

Hosted by Rose Rhodes

Host profile image
Rick and Tina met back in the 1970s while attending the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. We have spent our working lives serving rural communities with limited access to health care. Dr. Rick is a small town doctor who specializes in making house calls to elders, and Dr. Tina is an occupational therapist who works with special needs children in country schools and is a university professor. Paul and Rose work in engineering and human resource management in California. Lily is in high school and looking at colleges! After being away for so many years, the whole family is enjoying being back in Galveston.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it is located on a beautiful wide swath of beach, has plenty of open space on all sides, and it is within an easy walk of the local convenience store. Because it is a part of a homeowners association, we also have access to a swimming pool and private fishing pier.

What makes this property unique

In addition to being ideally situated on a car-free beach, this house has a large, secure storage area containing beach and barbeque tools, and a variety of useful supplies. The house is in pristine condition and has two twin bunk beds, one queen bed, one king bed, and a comfortable new full-sized Murphy bed. The kitchen is well appointed, and the living area and bunk bedroom have new HDTVs.
