About the host
Hosted by JLM Rentals - Leslie
We are Jeff and Leslie, retired professionals who love to travel and enjoy life. We’re fortunate to own and manage four vacation homes in some of our favorite places—Galveston, Texas; Petoskey, Michigan; Ventura, California; and New York City’s Upper West Side.
We spend time between our homes throughout the year depending on the season and rental schedules. In the spring and fall, we usually set out on longer travels, often exploring internationally and enjoying extended cruises.
When we are away, our daughter Sasha and our daughter-in-law Melissa help with guest messages so you’ll always have someone available if you need anything. We also have a local property manager/contact for each home if on-site assistance is ever needed during your stay.
We truly enjoy sharing our homes with guests and hope you feel comfortable and at home .
Why they chose this property
We purchased this home as a place to bring our family together and create lifelong memories. With our children and grandchildren living in the Houston area, we often gathered in Galveston and quickly realized how special it was to spend time by the beach. After renting in the historic district for several family weekends, we decided to create a place of our own where we could come together for holidays and extended visits.
Over time, it has become a favorite gathering spot not only for our immediate family, but also for relatives visiting from out of town.
The name Mar~Sea Shoals is a blend of our last names, along with a nod to the coast—“mar” meaning sea, and “shoals” reflecting the sandbars along the shoreline (and maybe a little fun along the way).
We hope our home becomes a place where your family and friends can come together, relax, and create lasting memories of your own.
What makes this property unique
What makes our home unique is the combination of space, layout, and flexibility for large groups. At over 3,600 square feet, it’s designed so everyone can be together—without ever feeling crowded. With multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas, guests can come together for meals and activities or spread out into smaller groups for more relaxed, private moments.
The reverse floor plan maximizes the views, especially the dramatic sunsets, the unique crow’s nest offers a one-of-a-kind space to take in the scenery from above. Combined with expansive decks, elevator access, and a quiet end-of-lane location, the home offers both convenience and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find.
