This beautiful beachfront home is nestled in the cozy Sea Isle neighborhood which is approximately 25 minutes from Galveston. You will have easy access to the restaurants and attractions Galveston offers while enjoying a more private feel at the beach and incredible ocean views.
THE HOME
You are just steps away from the beach. From the backyard, take the private path through the dunes for a short walk to one of the best beaches that Galveston has to offer. Easily come back to the house throughout the day to grab a snack or rest. Rinse off the sand using the private outdoor shower conveniently located on the lower patio. Enjoy cooking and eating together around the kitchen bar and dining table that joins with the family room. The open floor plan allows you to enjoy the beautiful ocean views from any one of these rooms and never feel secluded from the action.
BEDROOMS
The home consists of three bedrooms and two full baths with the master bedroom located on the main level featuring a king size bed, smart TV, and direct access to the bathroom with walk-in shower. The remaining two bedrooms are located upstairs. Bedroom #2 features a queen bed with smart TV and Bedroom #3 has two sets of twin bunk beds and features a TV with DVD player. Both bedrooms upstairs share a Jack and Jill bathroom with shower/tub combination. There is also a ‘Murphy Bed’ located in the family room on the main level. The bed folds into the cabinet during the day and can be easily brought out at night (please see photos).
DURING YOUR STAY
Upon your arrival, use the upper-level deck on the beachside of the house to access the front door. Inside you will find a wide open floor plan complimented by beautiful ocean views. Grab some beach toys provided onsite and take a short walk using the private path directly to the beach. Hang out with your group on the beach building sandcastles, surfing on boogie boards, or just relaxing on the beach. Utilize the lower patio for excellent shade from the sun which features a wooden porch swing for ultimate relaxation along with a picnic bench for outdoor BBQs. You will also find a charcoal grill to make your favorite burgers or steaks. Nighttime walks along the beach can be a great opportunity to search for ‘ghost crabs’. These small nocturnal crabs are completely harmless but fun to spot making their way across the sand. Don’t forget to bring your flashlight!

Wonderful and cozy beachhouse, perfectly equipped and located at the beach. We all loved our stay, especially the kids because of the short walk to the beach. We would definitely come back!
We loved this property. It was the perfect size to offer each of us some privacy but still enjoy each other’s company. The view was great, and the beach was not crowded. We had a wonderful stay.
Thank you for the kind words! We pride ourselves on fast response times and providing quality guest experience. You did provide private feedback after your departure regarding minor repairs to the home. We were able to get those addressed after your departure but would have been happy to address them during your stay.
This home was absolutely perfect! It was clean, had everything we could possibly need and was beautifully decorated. We have been to Galveston many times but this was our first stay in this home and we will be back! It has an amazing location to the beach - so peaceful and private! We didn’t hear any noise at all from traffic or neighbors. We had such a restful, worry free stay and are very thankful for all the details that were taken care to make our stay perfect!
This home is really lovely and the view of the ocean was just like the photos! I took a quick trip to Galveston as a treat for my mom and kids at the end of the summer. My mom and I loved how peaceful and beautiful it was at the house and that you can enjoy the scenery sitting outside or inside. My kids loved the bunk bed set up and how easily they could get to the beach to explore and swim. It's a bit of a drive to east Galveston attractions but is worth it in exchange for the quieter stay. The management company and owners were very responsive, and the home is well stocked which minimized the need to unpack some things we typically bring with us. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and we definitely look forward to returning again!
We loved our stay! Had a really great time! The house was exactly as advertised: well-kept and well-stocked. The beach was a short walk and a lot of wonderful family moments were spent by the amazing deck with an awesome view. Nazneen (host) was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us....will definitely recommend to friends and family. Hope to be back soon!
This cottage is comfortable, they’ve thought of everything…very well stocked. Great view and ocean breezes from the deck. There are lots of beach toys. Can’t say enough good things about The Sea Star. Thank you Rhodes family for a well planned house for your guests.
Very nice house. Everything you could possibly need. Plenty of towels, paper goods, soap, cleaning supplies. I was surprised by everything available. Beach view was great from very nice deck. We enjoyed our stay so much!
We enjoyed this lovely house, with a short walk to the beach. It was spotlessly clean and communication with the property manager prior to our visit was good. My only complaint is that we ran out of toilet paper in the master bath, and there wasn't a spare roll to be found anywhere. Overall, a minor problem.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay!! Thank you for the compliments regarding the cleanliness of the home and the communication. With regards to toilet paper, we do provide a starter set of necessities such as toilet paper. These are not intended to last your entire stay but should hold you over until you have a chance to visit the store. We provide detailed information in our guest app regarding the items that are stocked at the house guests can prepare for their arrival and know what to expect. Thanks again for the review and we hope to see you in the future!
This is the second spring break we stayed at this property. It's very peaceful and situated right on the beach. The beach wasn't crowded, the house was well maintained and stocked, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Galveston again,
My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Sea Star. Easy access to the beach and quiet location made for a very relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again.
My family of 5 stayed here, and we loved it. The location was perfect. Even being there during the weekend, there were no crowds and we also liked how no cars were allowed on that stretch of beach. The house had everything you could need and more. It was our first time to the beach as a family and we are looking forward to coming back. We plan on booking this house again if avaliable . ,
