This is our 2nd stay at Sea Star Tides in Galveston. This house is the perfect spot for our Galveston vacations. The kitchen is very well stocked. Plenty of seating for eating and relaxing. The beds are so comfortable. Very close to the beach, just a short walk and easy to run back if you need or forgot something. This will be our landing stop for future trips

We loved the house and its location and we only had one problem, which the host and hostess took care of. We would return again. I am very allergic to a multitude of foods, so cook when we're on vacation. That was the best appointed kitchen I've encountered in all my stays.

This home is in an amazing location! The home is extremely well equipped for all your needs. The off street parking in the garage is a huge plus in Galveston. The hosts were very responsive and on top of the only tiny issue we had. If you want the comforts of home and great access to the beach look no farther!!

The location of this property was perfect for us! We were right across Seawall from the beach! There are restaurants within walking distance too. We were there during Labor Day weekend, but this part of the beach was not overly crowded, and best of all, we got to leave our car in the garage and walk right across to the beach. We also enjoyed sitting out on the patio. The house itself is decorated beautifully and stocked with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, etc. The bed in the master bedroom was a little firm for me but not enough to keep us from adding an additional night to our stay haha! Communication with our hosts was quick and helpful. Check-in was easy and convenient. Everything about this home and our hosts was fantastic! We plan to return again soon!

This was the perfect beach house for our Galveston getaway. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and the king beds were perfect. The Master bed and pillows were very comfortable. The master bath was tight on counter space but plenty of room in the other bathroom for teenage girls.AC and hot water were great! The finishes and design of the house were very nice and we had everything we needed to make meals. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch with my morning coffee aenjoying the sea breeze and hosing my feet and sandals off in the back porch after a day at the beach. We loved being so close to the beach, seawall, the Pier and a short drive to The Strand and other Galveston stops. We also took advantage of the boogie boards, chairs and umbrellas provided by the hosts in the garage.The hosts were great and very responsive. We will definitely stay here again.
