We had a great stay in Galveston. The house was exactly what we were looking for, right on the beach. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. I would book this property again.

Can’t beat the location. Right on the beach. I’m sure it is because of all the rain but I highly recommend mosquito repellent. We got attacked multiple times. Can’t really blame that on the property. There were some things missing like a dvd player in the master bedroom and some missing batteries in remotes but we were there for the beach anyways so didn’t matter too much. Would stay again.

If its just location- this place can't be beat! However, if your picky this might not suit. Its a basic , no-frills beach house. And you need to bring EVERYTHING, like toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags laundry soap, dush soap

The beach was great with excellent access to the beach just steps away. The house had everything we needed.

Fantastic view and location! Typical beach house with lots of beds and a nice big table. Furniture is older. Kitchen is nice but be sure to bring trash bags and tin foil, etc. We had a comfortable stay even with a storm. The view and windows made it nice through it all. :-)

Everything about the house was perfect. The ramp was a plus for me because I have arthritis and stairs are difficult, so having the ramp made it a lot easier to come and go. The only problem was the wobbly board at the bottom. I had to be extra careful. The deck was really nice with plenty of room to sit and enjoy each other while listening to the rhythm of the surf. The deck chairs were attractive and colorful, but not comfy to sit for too long. But that’s only a minor thing. I particularly liked having such great sleeping options with the separate beds. Most beach rentals are set up for couples, with one bed in each room plus a bunk for kids. The kitchen was nice with plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils, and we were amazed to see two refrigerators!! That’s unheard of! We have rented places where the one fridge barely worked. The AC worked great (again, I remember a few rentals where the AC barely cooled). Our family consisted of me, a 90 year old mom and grandma, my two daughters and one’s partner, and my 27 year old grandson and his girlfriend. Two friends come in for one day to help celebrate my grandson’s birthday, and this house was exactly right. We have rented a beach house every summer for the past 30 years (except for the Covid years) and this is one of the best.

Third stay..that should say it all. Just to add that the closeness to beach cannot be beat and the ADA ramp is a huge plus for one of our party in a wheelchair. We've stayed in many properties Texas and Florida with elevators but the ramp is preferred due to no risk of malfunction. Will probably be back again, thank you John and Deirdre.
One last note: Rick's beach house rentals has beach wheel chairs you can rent...they pick up and deliver, so someone in a wheelchair can get down to the beach.

Amazing Property with plenty of room, right on the beach. This is our second year staying here with our children and grandchildren and are looking forward to next year already.

Our stay was awesome. So close to the water ! It was great to take a break from the sun only a 1 minute walk...enjoyed the deck, the way it is set up the views are amazing. Can't wait to return!

Right on the beach! Home stocked well with dishes and utensils and cups for a ton of people. It was wonderful to have a ramp for my mil and the dogs to get to the deck. My mil said she felt like another person just sitting on the deck and watching the waves.

We enjoyed our stay at Enchanted Sea Star. Had everything we needed and great access to the beach. We were there in mid May so weather was great and not crowed. This place could sleep a lot of people but it was just me and my husband this time. Would recommend the Enchanted sea Star! The hosts are great also.

We booked this beach house because it was LITERALLY in front of the beach! Once we stepped into the house I fell inlove with it! The deco of the house fits so well with the beach, kitchen was fully decked w/ pots, pans, casserole pans, plates, cups & utensils. House is stocked with towels, blankets…just LOVED It! Love the scenery, nice chairs on the deck and everything fits for our wedding Wednesday. Got nice compliments about the house from our guest & my parents wants to do a family reunion & get a beach house near the beach. We had an AMAZING, FUN time & will come back again.

Beautiful views! Beachfront perfect location! Charming and comfortable home with plenty of room for our large family to be together in one place! Exactly the perfect place for sharing laughter, fun and making memories. The living room was large enough for all of us to lounge and visit. The kitchen was sufficient for preparing home-cooked meals to feed 14 people! The table had comfortable seating for our entire group to eat together and gather for a night of games. Loved sitting on deck and watching the waves at night. Plenty of beds for our group to sleep comfortably with spacious bathrooms. Very happy beachy home. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

We had family visiting from Europe and wanted a quiet getaway for a few days. All guests were older (50-83yrs old) so we specifically looked for not just a nice place but one that was more accessibility friendly. This delivered. The beach house was very cute and comfortable, the ramp much appreciated by our older guests! Right on the beach it had wonderful views for morning coffee. The one thing I would mention is the colorful deck chairs are very tall so not all could get up in them - next time we will bring a step stool :) Great communication and easy access - we would definitely stay again!

I loved that the beach was just minutes away. It was very soothing to look at the water and hear the waves. There were miles of clean beach to walk on.

We enjoyed our stay at the Enchanted Sea Star! It was a perfect house right on the beach. We were 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was so nice to just walk right onto the beach. We had absolutely no issues. Lots of bathtowels!, stocked kitchen for cooking, 2 refrigerators and a washer and dryer. You will need to supply paper towels, toilet paper, toiletries for the showers, hand soap, dishwashing soap and washing detergent. Not a big deal at all!!! There is a 7 Seas grocery store right down the road full of essentials, meat, veggies, cheese, etc.,.. Nate’s seafood restaurant is there, too. You are 30 minutes from the Pleasure Pier, but it’s such a pretty drive you don’t even notice it. We had a lovely stay and we also had our dog with us :) Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house!

We had the most amazing birthday party for our daughter there at the Enchanted Sea Star / Tearamar Beach /right on the beachfront with her 13 closest friends. We had a blast and we had a campfire, roasted Smores, and danced and sang and really enjoyed this property and all it had to offer with incredible views and amenities. I will highly recommend this to friends and family for rentals thank you once again Enchanted Rentals / John, Galveston. Cheers, Mark and Marlee Day : )

This is the third time my family has chosen this beautiful beach home for a winter holiday getaway. We keep coming back for multiple reasons: unmatched location/ocean views (I can’t stress this enough—we’ve explored other options in the area), accessible for family members with mobility needs (walker/cane), and excellent communication with hosts. We love the quiet area, it feels like it is your own private beach. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked for those moments when you are inspired to cook, and the living room is super cozy. Overall, the home has everything you need if you are looking for a place to relax and unwind. We hope to be back for our 4th stay very soon. 😁

Perfect location with instant beach access and non-stop scenic ocean views. Ideal size for a large single family stay or small group of friends.

The outside under the house was dirty with inadequate parking because of the huge dip in the dirt before you go under the house. The picnic table had sticky red food on it. The dirt under the house was nasty like numerous dogs had foot prints all over and way too many people had been there before us. Many things in the house have been poorly kept. My husband described it best as this is a big party house. Floors are wood that needs rugs or replaced. The huge chairs block the views from inside and they’re filthy with dirty hands all over the arms. The master bedding was old sheets and it all smelled. The toilet in the front bathroom is not attached to the floor. The front door was filthy. Everything presented as not kept clean and not taken care of very well. The guest room and kid room was nicer than master. The mirrors in master bathroom required me to bend down a lot to see my face- I’m 5’6. If you are looking for a place to have a lot of people pile in and not a relaxing pretty and clean stay it can work. I’m sorry, we’ve stayed many beach houses and this was our first like this one.

Was advertised as 3 bedroom/3 baths. House had 2 baths with outside shower. A small storm came on the night of 10-10, not tropical but the am of 10-11, the house was moving as we set on the couch. We left one day early as we did not feel comfortable with the movement of the house. We have rented other beach houses and have never experienced this before.

We are a group of women over 50 years old.Over all the house was good, The cleanlyness was sub par,( dust and spider webs) It could use some repair, the list of extra charges are obnoxious and should be included in the high per night price. The locacation and veiw are perfect.

12 family gals from 4 states aged 30-92 took an impromptu beach trip. The Enchanted Sea Star was perfect! It’s right on the lovely beach. The ramp allowed for our wheelchair and there was a wheelchair accessible shower too. There’s PLENTY of very comfortable sleeping and bath towels galore! High quality and very nice bedding was provided. The house is pretty, clean, spacious with fun beach decor and lots of seating. The view is spectacular! Enchanted Sea Star has so much to offer, especially for large groups. The GALveston GALS highly recommend this lovely home for a beach getaway!!
