This property was perfect for our family! Great location, updated kitchen and baths and clean. Owners were just a text away and it might be our favorite place yet that we have rented in Pirates.

Beautiful home right by the beach

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the seaside heights home. The decor was beautiful inside and out. You can see the beach from the patio and listen to the waves at night. Then it’s just a short walk to the beach. We’ll definitely be back!

Great family weekend!

We brought our four young kids for a cheerleading competition at Moody Gardens. The house is beautifully renovated and had everything we needed. It is a very short and safe walk to the beach. Our kids slept great in the comfortable beds and loved playing at the beach all day. We had a great experience and would love to come back to this house for another family weekend soon! Thank you for having us!

What a gem!

Located soooo close to the beach on a quiet street. The kitchen is appointed with more quality and useful items (knives, spatulas, silver, bowls, etc) than any rental we’ve ever used. Great space for eating and cooking. A/C is excellent. Beds are really comfortable. Downstairs patio is really nice and has great air flow because of the angle the hose is set. Great view of the water from the expansive deck. Hosts are very quick with communicating. We hope to be back!

Left Home Early to Move to Hotel

The day prior to our stay I was notified the refrigerator wasn’t working that is would be repaired the day of our arrival or the day after. It wasn’t ideal but we decided it would work. The owners allowed us to us their personal one in the garage. This worked okay except for the rain and having to enter in and out in it to get stuff from the refrigerator. The repair service was set to come on Friday at 9 (our only free day from dance competition). They came around 11 and it took about an hour to fix the refrigerator. With about half of our free day wasted sitting in a rental property the owners agreed to credit us $300 for the inconvenience. Used washer for wash new wash cloths purchased and dirty towels and there were wet towels in the dryer. I finished drying those and set them on the wod of sheets left to the dryer on the bed. Throw blankets in family dirty, one smelt like a wet dog the other had chunks of dark stuff all over it - I had my husband bring some from our home since these were not clean. After the refrigerator started working it had a strong odor of fish and we threw all of our stuff out. Mold around shower in master bathroom and globs of hair was left on the shower wall I had to remove prior to showering I sent all of this to the owners with no response. We had to pay for a professional cleaning service and what we got was terrible. We checked out a day early because we couldn’t take the funk anymore and moved to a hotel.

Photos don’t do the amazing outdoor patios justices. Our family had an amazing time relaxing over coffee, lunch, dinner, etc. on the porch. As a family with young kids, having no stairs on then living floor was perfect.

Nice place for weekend getaway

This is a very nice place with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen which made cooking pretty easy. It also has fantastic access to the beach. One should note that there is no access to a washer and dryer which we didn't realize until we got there (totally my oversight because we have never stayed in a house without access). As a mom of 3 (2 of which are boys), this is pretty high on my list of necessities....so that being said...I think this is a great place for short stays but if staying for a week would have to find a place with laundry facilities.

Our two grown children and their spouses joined us for a long weekend to celebrate birthdays and our anniversary. The location close to the beach and views from the deck were very nice. We enjoyed eating dinner outside on most evenings. We have many great memories of our visit.

My family enjoyed our weekend getaway from Houston to the beach. This house was in a great neighborhood that was close to restaurants and other things to do. Loved how close we were to the beach. We enjoyed the decks to watch the ocean and family meals. Definitely will be returning!

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan & Ashley Ahearn

Host profile image
We knew the family who previously owned this beautiful home and couldn't resist the opportunity to own a piece of paradise!
We love the beach and saw this as the perfect opportunity to escape city living and host our family & friends. We are excited to share our home with you to unwind, disconnect and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

Why they chose this property

Galveston holds a special place for our family - we grew up close to the area and even got married on the island. We have lots of friends on the Island and are excited to make memories in this home.

What makes this property unique

The minute you walk in, you feel at home already. The furnishings provide a feeling of luxury and tranquility and the layout makes it feel very cozy.
The outdoor living spaces are our favorite - lots of sun or shade, room for the kids to play, outdoor dining options and unobstructed views of the ocean.
