**Our summer season (June-Mid August), is Sat-Sat only bookings. If you don't select
Saturday - Saturday, the calendar will show unavailable, and you will not be able to book. Otherwise, two night minimum on all other seasons. We are a pet friendly house. When booking through VRBO you will need to select 'pet' in the area you enter the number of adults and children, this will add our $175 pet fee to your reservation total. Also, if you are booking with Expedia and bringing a pet be sure to indicate it through the Expedia reservation and prepare to Venmo or Zelle or provide cash for the $175 pet fee.
Please come and enjoy a relaxing stay at our beachfront home. Our home; “Moondance” is located in the Sea Isle community! VRBO automatically added info that states that the house is less than 15 min walk to the beach, which is incorrect as this house sits directly on the beach. The water is just steps away.
You will enjoy wonderful views from this Beach House. Moondance’s design allows for a great view of the ocean and beach from all rooms of the house excluding the laundry room and two restrooms.
Start your day with a cup of coffee from your own private upper level deck just off your king bedroom. Coffee in one hand and an amazing view will bring peace into your life. Guests staying in the downstairs king bedroom will open their sliding patio doors, climb back into their king bed and enjoy the ocean view from the comfort of their cozy bed.
Most guests enjoy starting their day on the main deck enjoying the morning breakfast from the deck’s dining table while feeling the ocean breeze. The upstairs king bed bedroom has a walk out deck with two lounge chaises for sunning. Endless view of the beach east and west. Gorgeous view! The large sliding glass door provides a great view of the ocean from the bed.
Enjoy lunchtime in the dining room, main level patio or one of two picnic tables and a kids picnic table, located at ground level. Remember you are on the beach so don’t rule out a picnic on the beach. If you forget to pack the mustard in the basket, no problem, just take a few steps and you are back in the kitchen.
Your vacation home can sleep 9. We have three bedrooms. Two bedrooms face the ocean and have comfortable king beds. The bunk room has one twin/twin bunk and one twin/full bunk. This rooms sleeps 5 total. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated to enhance your beach stay. All bedrooms have their own closets and laminate flooring. Each bedroom includes a TV, DVD and fresh linens on the beds.
Each level has its own full bath and shower combo.
The den provides great views of the ocean and is open to the kitchen and dining areas. We have two large sofas with 2 reclining seats on each end of the sofas (4 recliners). The den, dining and kitchen have ceramic tile floors.
The kitchen is furnished with all your cooking needs. We have provided all pots, pans, and utensils to cook and eat from. Load up on groceries before you get to the home or you can shop at a couple of stores about 6 miles from the house. Dollar General or Seven Seas Grocery.

The home also has a washer and dryer located in the laundry room for your use and detergent as well as ironing board.
The home has two nice viewing decks located ocean side. The upper private deck is just off the upper king bedroom. This sun deck is perfect for morning coffee;, sunning or moonlight privacy. The main deck has patio doors leading from the den and the lower king bedroom. This deck has an outside dining area and a separate sitting area for beach gazing. Both of these decks are self-contained, meaning they are only accessible from the inside of the home, great for kids and dogs.
The lower area below the home provides a clean and open feel for our guests. We have half of the area decked and the other half concreted where two picnic tables await you. This area is a great place for you to enjoy a large crab/crawfish boil. The underside is well lighted and cater to your outside cooking style. You can either use a gas grill or a charcoal grill. We will provide propane, however if you prefer the charcoal grill please bring your briquettes and lighter fluid. Down here you have a hot water shower provided to wash off the sand you will carry back from the beach.
Parking is easy. We have parking just outside of the front door making carrying your luggage and food easy to do. All you have to do is park; walk up the ground level stairs and into the house.
The beach is what you come for. Miles of it to view from left to right. We are located near a public beach where a few locals enjoy their time. The easy access from the house straight onto the beach is a guest favorite. This home is located in a very quiet part of the island. You can have a peace of mind when allowing your kids to play. There is a 'no vehicles on the beach' rule. The only allowance is for golf carts with a handicap sign, that have permission to drop off persons on the beach, then park in the public parking area. If cars or carts are found parking/driving, the police usually show up pretty quickly.
Your needs are also met with cable TV, Blu-ray DVD player and high speed internet.
Our home is part of the Sea Isle community. If you want to take the children to a controlled swimming area, you can purchase a family and friend pass for $100 for up to 10ppl for 7 days.

They offer a first-class restaurant serving a variety of steak and seafood dishes. You will find a full service marina where you can buy bait, gasoline and a fishing license.
Jamaica Beach is just down the road and you can find other restaurants which offer delicious budget-friendly island meals. Nate's seafood has a not only seafood, but great burgers. Way West Grill is a fan favorite for burgers and pizzas. They deliver to the house, or curbside pick up.
Pirates Beach, is another few miles towards Galveston from the house, which has a seafood market (Alex Seafood Market) as well as Mario's Pizza. Our personal fav pizza. Mario's delivers to the house.

Great place right on the beach. Just what we were looking for with our two grandkids. Close enough to Galveston and far enough away that the beach wasn't crowded. The host was awesome.

We absolutely love staying here every year. We were impacted by hurricane but Nancy was able to accommodate us and went above and beyond. We are getting ready to book next years trip and love this tradition.

we rented the house for seven days we arrived on Saturday hurricane barrel hit Monday morning. We opted to go to a hotel Sunday and Monday to ride out. The hurricane returned on Tuesday power was off. They bought two air conditioners brought us the generator paid for all the gas checked in with us every morning and evening to make sure we’re OK could not have been better host

Loved staying at Moondance…again and again and again.
Cannot say enough good things about the owner, Nancy, who’s always there for you with answers to questions you may have or recommendations about the many restaurants etc.
Looking forward to a fall trip and more fun.

This is one of the best beachside locations! Step off the stairs and right onto the dune. We enjoyed sitting on the deck just watching our grandchildren with their parents play in the surf.
We will keep this treasure bookmarked in case we go back to Galveston area!
5.0
The four of us had a wonderful time at this vacation paradise; It was beyond our expectations. Our host (Nancy) promptly answered any questions. Sitting high up on the porch gave us an unobstructed view of the beach and water view. Everything was a solid 10. We plan to return next year.

This was a perfect location and the house had everything we needed. I’m already planning my next stay!

Our 6th stay at Moondance ensures our desire for stay #7 next Spring. Perfect is the only adjective appropriate for beach front location, accommodations, and our hosts. Moondance will always be our vacation home in Galveston,TX.
4.0
For us, the location was excellent. Gorgeous view and easy beach access.
The house had everything we needed.
My husband said the upstair bedroom was lovely, with a great private balcony view, but with my mobility issues, I wasn't comfortable nagivating the steep stairs without a railing.
I had similar concerns about the lack of stability bars in the main bath shower.
I do wish the doors and windows had screens; it would have been great to get some ocean breeze, and listen to the sound of the waves. (At the time of our stay, the patio door in the main floor bedroom was broken and couldn't be opened.)
From the time we booked, the hosts made us feel welcomed. They were attentive, responsive and helpful.
THANK YOU!!

We had a great time. It was a wonderful birthday celebration with some great memories.

Cozy but charming house with everything you need to have a great stay at the beach. The property manager was helpful and great at communicating. The kitchen is small but really well stocked the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The best part was sitting on the porch with coffee in the mornings and watching the waves!
5.0
It was the perfect spot for working people who wanted to be away from it all. Beach was peaceful. It was nice watching the waves and the birds!!
5.0
Stayed here for 3 nights and had a fantastic time. We brought the family down from Colorado for spring break for a few days on the beach, and this place did not disappoint. We had all the plates, utensils, pots/pans, etc, to make what we wanted. There are upstairs and downstairs decks so when it rained, we could still hang out on the deck watching the waves come crashing in. Beach was not crowded. Found lots of sea shells. Beds were comfortable. The place was clean. Neighborhood was calm and quiet. Checking in/out was super easy. Nancy was awesome. If we ever head down Galveston way again, we'll cross our fingers that this place is available!
5.0
Our group of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids) spent part of spring break at this property. The property and amenities were just as described in the listing. Upon arrival, the property was very clean and tidy. Communication with the property owner was excellent. We enjoyed only being steps to the beach. Our only regret about booking this property is that we couldn’t stay longer.

The property and location are absolutely perfect for a family vacation. I could not have been more pleased with this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom beach house. Bedrooms were very clean and the balconies overlooking the gulf were absolutely perfect for relaxing with a view. Beachfront with a path through the dunes, so we were able to come and go as we pleased. No long walks or lugging abunch of stuff around, which was perfect for my family. I will be looking to book this property again for sure... Overall I give this property 5 out of 5 stars, for clenliness, location, and host!

Moondance was perfect for our families long weekend in Galveston. Right on the beach and the house had everything that we needed for our stay!
We’d definitely consider staying at this property again. The host was great and was very accessible as well.

Enjoyed the stay.

This property location was perfect, and literally right on the beach. The house was clean, spacious and ideal for an adults only visit or family with kids. The owner, Nancy, was more than gracious, and extremely accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend staying at the Moondance.
5.0
We do a long weekend every summer in Galveston and this prime front row spot was a real winner! It is nicely equipped with plenty of towels, and kitchen amenities, as well as toys and boogie boards for the beach. Nancy is very friendly and accommodating. We did feel that the space in the house is actually quite a bit smaller than it originally looked in photos so that was our only surprise, but it still served our family's needs all weekend.

Love the house, location and owners. Very well taken care of home and priced very well.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at Nancy's beachfront home through VRBO! The location was beyond perfect, with breathtaking views right from the property. Nancy was an exceptional host, ensuring every detail was taken care of to make our stay comfortable. The combination of the stunning location and Nancy's hospitality made this vacation unforgettable. I can't wait to return for another amazing getaway! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5.0
The house was lovely and direct access to the beach is exactly what we were looking for. We stay in Galveston for a week or more every July with my family of 5 and my sisters family of 4 (plus dogs) and visit throughout the year.
The house accommodated us all comfortably. If we reached out to Nancy about anything at all - we were taken care of instantly. She checked in on us making sure we didn’t need anything and was helpful when we needed her.
The house was clean upon arrival and they made it easy to keep it clean and vacuum up the never ending sand (no matter how hard you try to keep it out). The beach view was amazing from inside and outside the house. There’s a large table on patio where we could eat outside or just play games listening to the ocean.

We loved our stay at this house. It was not the first time
The owner Nancy is fabulous. She went beyond fabulous to help us with all our needs.

Hope to see you in the fall Nancy !

We have stayed at this property twice and have enjoyed it very much. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and you can walk right out to the beach. We have stayed here with a family of 6 and had plenty of space. The owner was responsive when we had any questions.
5.0
The house was great and the owner was super attentive. She checked in each day to make sure we had everything we needed. It is right on the beach. No boardwalk needed... just a short path. You can't beat the views from either deck. We (4 adults and 2 kids) had plenty of space to unwind. A side note: the driveway opens onto the beach access road...we only had to backtrack once.
5.0
Our family had a wonderful time in Galveston. We had car problems and the way down and Nancy and her husband was so nice to help us find someone to fix it. I would definitely book with Nancy again.
