About this property

Ideal location for a relaxing beach holiday along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Steps away from the wetlands, The Blue Seahorse is the perfect place to boat or fish for the best reds around. There is a bird book on the coffee table to help you identify the many water and land birds around. A public boat ramp and pier are just across the street. If you're looking to spend the day relaxing under the sun and on the shore; you're only a short walk or drive to the beach but far enough away from the crowds of Surfside Beach and Galveston for peace and quiet. With vacant lots on both sides of the house you are never bothered by noisy neighbors!

The tranquil beach vibe of this beautiful aqua beach house sets the stage for your perfect beach getaway. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open main living space, 2 massive decks, a patio with fire pit & TiKi type bar, this place is the perfect size for groups of 4-10. BYOB and have drinks on the decks while enjoying moon and sunrises.

The roadside deck, "back" deck, is where you can watch the sun or moon set over the bay. I love watching the boats and tugboats with their barges travel up and down the Intracoastal Canal. Their multi-colored lights remind me of Christmas. If you are lucky you can watch the majestic sailboats seeming to float on the air as they traverse the Intracoastal Canal.

Night stands in each bedroom have USB ports so you can stay connected! Each bedroom has extra linens in the chest of drawers.

The lift can accomodate a wheelchair or walker for those with mobility issues. It's also a plus for carryng up supplies and belongings . An open floor plan makes it easy to maneuver in a wheelchair.. Please remember the lift is not for children to ride in!

An oversized shower in the Jack n Jill bathroom accomodates a removable shower bench with a pivoting seat. Three grab bars make it easy to get in and out of the shower. The ADA height toilet has a fold-up grab bar that can be tipped up to the wall if not in use. The linen closet in this bathroom has extra towels plus beach towels. The thin beach towels are ideal as they shed sand and dry quickly.

In the living room is an electric recliner with a lift seat. It's perfect for folks that have a tough time moving or just flexing stiff joints! The open floorplan makes it easy to accomodate everyone. There is a Smart TV and internet for those who need entertainment. The couch is a fullsize bed ideal for cozying up to watch a movie or your favorite sports team. Go Astros!

The master bedroom has a very comfortable Queen size bed. Next to the bed is a lamp with USB ports. There is a reading nook with an antique rocking chair and a corner floor lamp. This bedroom is connected to the Jack n Jill bathroom. From this room you also have private access to the front deck and a view of the beach.

Blackout curtains in each bedroom make it easy to enjoy an afternoon nap.

The bunkbed room has a trundle bed for that extra guest. A bookcase hold games, coloring books and reading materail for kids of all ages. Behind the bunkbed is a travel crib/playpen with mattress. This can be taken downstairs so you can keep an eye on your little one while you enjoy the Gulf breezes. This room is also connected to the Jack n Jill bathroom.

On the opposite side of the house is the Flamingo room. A large watercolor of a Flamingo stands watch. Next to the bed is a lamp with USB port. The beautiful wrought iron bed has a view of Drum Bay. A linen closet in the hall holds extra towels. Next to this room is a full bath. Also, on this side of the house is a bedroom with an electric Kingsize bed that is not only adjustable but very comfortable! It has a removable hand/guardrail. Lamps on both sides of this bed have USB ports.

Downstairs are two barbeque pits where you can grill comfortably while enjoying the wonderful ocean breeze. Two outdoor dining tables provide seating for 10+. The patio with a fire pit is perfect for enjoying the evening with S'mores and Margaritas!

In the storage area under the house is a washer and dryer. You can wash and dry your beach and bath towels without going to a laundromat! Also, you will find charcoal and lighter fluid for the barbecue pits. Extra water is also stored downstairs. If you have kids that need entertaining there is sidewalk chalk, games and toys by the metal etagere in the storage area. You never know when plans have to change because of a Summer shower!

We have two outdoor showers. The large one has hot and cold water. It can accomodate a wheelchair or walker. It are grab bars as well as a sturdy bench seat. These are ideal spots to rinse off sand and salt before going upstairs. A cloths line for your bathing suits and towels is on the West side of the concrete pad.

On Facebook-friends of Surfside-you can find current or upcoming events. There's always something special happening in Surfside!

Book a charter, relax on the beach or take the short drive to Surfside Beach for dinner and drinks. The jetty is an ideal place to enjoy watching the ships or the amazing sunsets.
Galveston is just 30 minutes due East if you want more excitement. A ride across the Bolivar Ferry is the perfoct ending of a romantic Summer evening.

Towards San Luis Pass you will find a Nature Trail with a beach. Early morning can leave you plenty of surprises for your shell collection. Take your binoculars and see how many different water birds you can identify.

To make things even easier for your stay HEB grocery in Lake Jackson will deliver your groceries for a very nominal fee!

When you stay at the Blue Sea Horse you will be able to do it all!

Beautiful little bay-front home
This property was a beautiful little home with LOTS of room. We couldnt believe it was a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom just by looking from the outside. Plenty of space for company and kids with a bay-front view and literally only a 3 minute walk to the sandy beach on the other side. I am a full-time wheelchair user and this space worked well for me for a short stay. The neighbors were helpful and the award winning baker next door had yummy pies and cakes. My only complaint would be the mosquitoes at ground level(not the owners fault). Where there's grass and moisture along the coast, you get mosquitoes. But once upstairs, they were mostly non-existant. It was quite lovely sitting on the decks with the breeze and sounds of the ocean in the evenings without the worry of being eaten alive. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Amazing beach house
Super rare to find such a wonderful beach house that was truly accessible for a wheelchair. The kitchen was fully stocked and ready for whatever meal you might need to cook. The view of the ocean is blocked, mainly by other beach houses, but the view of the bay is spectacular and offers plenty of birdwatching. Owner is very communicative. The neighbor next-door bakes the best pies you will ever eat. Outriggers in town is a dive bar, but has some of the best shrimp in the area. Also down the street is an excellent fish market with super fresh seafood. Don’t forget your bug spray.

Seahorse Stay
This house had plenty of everything for our party of 8. Extra blankets all over the place. Plenty of towels and pillows. Ac was nice and cold and the showers were hot just what you need after long days at the beach. Very short drive to the beach less that 3 minutes. We enjoyed our stay here and the host was very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Arlene Stuebner

Host profile image
Retired with love of Coast. Our Blue Seahorse house is slightly isolated from noisy neighbors but still close to beach & bay.
We love our home but can’t get here too often. It’s too much of a great relaxing opportunity to not share with others. I love watching the birds from the upper road-side deck. Try as I might I can’t sneak up on them to get good pictures.
The backyard deck takes too much of my time. Sun & moon rises that are breathtaking.
When it rains I open the doors & relish the sounds & smells. It usually generates a good nap on the couch & in front of the TV.
You can walk across the street & catch crabs. I love catching them but someone else has to do the rest! As a retired nurse I have a slight problem with the processing of the crabs..
Several months ago I took up painting with watercolors. I have attempted to paint some of the birds & gorgeous sunsets. Now I find myself marveling at clouds, skies & colors. Incredibly relaxing.
My husband loves to fish & enjoys going across the street to hook up with the local fishing guides. Did I mention how relaxing this place is? I am afraid we will become slugs.
At home on the farm are horses, dogs, cats & hay. And a small bass lake! Several wild Canadian Geese have decided to bless us with their presence for the past several years. Several times a day during nesting season we go out on the Gator to try the see if sitt geese are ok. Watching the hatchlings mature then fly away to return every few days is such a thrill.
The horses share their pastures with the deer. The deer quickly learned where the horses are fed & move in to clean up any dropped feed. It’s every 4-legged creature for it’s self.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful home. Not just a rent house. I have furnished it as I do my primary home. Best location that is close to beach but not crowded by noisy neighbors. The beach is far enough from the rowdy groups at Surfside & Galveston but still close enough for great places to eat or enjoy some drinks with new or established friends. After a couple of drinks even the crabby relatives can become good friends!
Very clean & family friendly.
With Wi-Fi you can work if you want to. Flat screen TV lets you watch sports or movies. The open floor plan enables everyone to chat, enjoy the portable bar, hang out by the kitchen island or cook some crabs! Multiple sitting areas on decks as well as down stairs can be your own quiet retreat.
We have an outdoor shower which has Hot & cold water! No more Sandy bodies trooping upstairs. But please don’t sit on furniture in house with wet clothes. Plenty of bath & beach towels for all!
Come play, relax by fire pit on patio, grill fish, steaks or make s’mores TiKi torches with bug repellent with keep you bug free.

What makes this property unique

My husband is a stroke survivor. I had a lift installed so he can get up into the beach house. There are a number of other changes I have made for those with mobility issues such asmoveable shower chair, grab bars in Jack n Jill shower. An electric recliner with a lift option in the living room. With the open living area the house is very wheelchair accessible.
I want my renters to feel welcome and provide hospitality packages for each guest. Soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, combs, etc.
Because of the continued threat from Covid I also provide individual hand sanitizers and masks as well as small packages of Kleenex. Again for safety reasons, I ask you remove your shoes & place on tray by the front door.
Before you arrive the yard will be sprayed for mosquitoes.
With two large decks you have wonderful views 24/7. I love watching the barges on the intracoastal canal push their large loads to their finalh destinations.
With covered parking for up to 6 cars it makes even rainy days enjoyable.
In the storage area on the ground level is you will find a full size washer & dryer. It is also where the bar stools are stored along with extra lawn seats. If it’s in the storage area it can be used for your pleasure or comfort. Refills for a TiKi torches and lighter fluid will be in cabinet.
I have child-proof latches on all lower cabinets & drawers. Cleaning supplies & chemicals are safely locked away.
I have tried to make available some amenities not found in most beach rentals.
If there is something you would like & I can provide I will gladly do so. I want you to love your stay & come back again!
I will be offering discounts for repeat customers.
