About this house rental
Seraphina By The Sea is located in a tranquil beachfront neighborhood on the West End of Galveston, Texas. Our island home is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac street with direct beach access by dune walkover. A mere two-minute leisurely stroll puts your toes in the sand and your mind at ease. Our beach is closed to vehicular traffic so you can let your little ones explore the wonders of nature without worry. Watch the sun rise over the Gulf and sink into the bay from Seraphina's elevated decks.
Seraphina By The Sea is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single-family home decorated in a soothing coastal farmhouse style. The home has a beautifully decorated family room, well-stocked kitchen for the family chef, and ample seating around the expandable dining table and kitchen bar. The family room has a 65-inch 4K TV with surround sound and a media console stocked with games, books, and puzzles. A large deck with beach views has picnic tables for casual meals under the setting sun.
The main floor has a full bathroom, a bedroom with queen-size four-poster bed, and a playful bunk room for the kids. In the bunk room, several kid-friendly items such as a pack-n-play, high-chair, and infant tub are provided. A sleeper sofa in the family room rounds out the sleeping arrangements on the main floor.
Enjoy the luxurious primary bedroom encompassing the entire top floor complete with a spacious bathroom, plush king size bed, coffee bar, 65-inch 4K TV, and private deck with gulf and bay views.
On the ground level, there is a fenced-in yard, grill, picnic table, hammock, and additional seating. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is a great spot to rinse off after a day on the beach. Sand toys, beach chairs, wagon, rolling cooler, and shade canopy are available for use.
Our community, Pointe San Luis, is a quiet single-family residential neighborhood. The community pool is located on the bayside and is an ideal spot to watch the sunset over West Bay. Take a morning jog or evening stroll along our pedestrian-only beach and marvel at the natural beauty of the dunes.

Our second visit. The house is beautiful, clean and well stocked. Three minute walk to the private beach which is peaceful and never crowded.
10.0 / 10.0
This property was exactly what we needed for our family vacation, particularly flying in for the visit. We have two kids under three, and it was SO nice to have a crib, bedrail, baby monitor, high chair, toys (beach and house), cups, plates, and even a potty training seat all available without having to pack it along. Proximity to the beach was perfect too, easy for the toddler to walk. Very quiet during our offseason visit. We would definitely rent again!

We had our elderly parents and our kids and grandkids. The house was well supplied for all ages and was easy walking distance to a pedestrian only beach.

This property was located in the perfect spot withi n a short walking distance to the private beach which we really appreciated! The house was modern, very clean & had everything we wanted & needed as well as a bit more such as the beach chairs, umbrellas & beach cart to carry it all! We will definitely be returning to this property!

My family (me + spouse + 1/4/6 yo) & my elderly parents stayed for 4 days/3 nights. The property is fantastic. You can walk out the door and down the stairs and beach on the beach within 3 minutes. The beach was sparsely populated as well which was a plus. They had pretty much anything you could need for the beach (chairs, cooler, umbrellas, wagon, toys) easily accessible. The home itself was decorated well and was extremely clean. They also have anything you would need for kids (cribs, pack n play, bumbo, toys, books, etc) which is a big plus. Normally we are low maintenance, but with my elderly parents we had to reach out for a few random reasons and the hosts would always respond promptly and with any answer we needed. Added bonus was the charcoal grill downstairs which we used for 2 of the 3 nights. If I had to be picky, I would say the only negative was the lack of food options around this part of the island and that is 100% not on our hosts :) great place and would def stay there again.

We had an absolute wonderful time at this Galveston home! The home is actually even better than the pics! No need to bring any items for the beach, bedrooms are larger than expected, outdoor living space is awesome, well supplied kitchen, short walk to beach, and the list goes on. We enjoyed every moment!

Great location, the house is nestled in a quiet little community. We had beach views from the deck and it was great sitting out in the evening while listening to the waves and watching a beautiful moon.
Gorgeous home and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the needed kitchenware to
prepare family meals.
Definitely recommend this home and location.

This house had everything we needed for our family with four kids and two older parents. From catching the sunrise over the ocean on the decks, to the direct beach access, and kid friendly areas for the kids to run and play, this properties location was perfect in every way. Hosts were on top of every detail and communication was never lacking. I will definitely stay again.

This is a great location for a quiet family beach getaway. The location is at the far southern point of the island with super easy access to the beach. Really lovely home for a family stay.

We have a blended family with 5 children ranging in age from 4 to 16. This wonderful home offered plenty of indoor and outdoor space for everyone to have a wonderful time. The amenities / supplies were perfect and the monitor for the bunk bed room proved valuable. The proximity to the beach was perfect and the outdoor shower and seating on the deck was perfect for evening snacks and early morning cereal or coffee. We will definitely make this our go to place for family visits to the beach.

I truly can't think of a negative to mention. The location was stellar; I couldn't ask for easier or closer access to a great stretch of beach. The home itself was clean and well stocked with basics (both for the kitchen and for families). The check in "process" was a breeze since we were literally just able to walk up and use a personalized code to get in. Our kids (2 and 5) loved the children's room and I appreciated the bed rail I could attach to the lower bunk for my youngest and the sound monitor I could set up. My husband and I were comfortable in the primary room upstairs and I can say that all of the beds are very comfortable because I slept in all of them at some point during our stay (thanks children!).
I highly recommend this beautiful spot.

The house is beautiful! The walk to the beach is very short. Met neighbors that had kids for my kids to play with at the beach. My private balcony off the master bedroom made the week long vacation an incredible time!

This was absolutely perfect for our family of 8, including 2 sets of twins. They had the bunk room, with the trundle bed. Worked out perfectly, and had everything needed for cooking our meals. The best feature was being on a cul-de-sac 4 houses from the pier. 3 minute walk put us on a beautiful, soft sandy private beach. We all had so much fun! My husband is a stay at home Dad, and said this was the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken. Even beach towels were stocked! The private deck on the master suite made for beautiful evenings for the two of us. Thank you for sharing your beach home. We had an awesome vacation!

Our family of 4 was extremely comfortable at this house. We loved the short walk to the beach each morning, and relaxing on the deck at the end of each day.

Amazing Stay!
We loved our stay at Seraphina! Everything was immaculate, and the location was perfect just steps from the walkway out to the beach. Kitchen supplies were excellent, and the extra towels were great! Also, don’t forget to take some time lounging in the hammock. It was perfect! Thank you!

Home Away From Home
Perfect place for my family for the weekend. House did not disappoint and even had a few extras I wasn’t expecting. We are huge sound machine fans and to my surprise each room has its own great device. We didn’t get to stay nearly long enough but would love to stay here again. Owners were helpful and quick to answer any questions. Fantastic experience, fun weekend! Thanks for having us!

Perfect in every way
The house and location were perfect for a quiet spring break getaway. The house was immaculate and so comfortable. The owners thought of everything! We will stay here again for sure...and will only bring half of what we brought as it was so well stocked!

Perfect Getaway
My best friend and I and our two girls escaped for a long weekend and this house was perfect. The weather was terrible but we still walked out to the beach a few times, super convenient, to fly kites and collect shells. But the rest of the time we laughed and cooked and watched movies and played games. The property was really beautiful and very comfortable. Definitely will return.

Lovely home and location!
We had a wonderful stay at the Barry’s lovely, comfortable beach house. We have two small children and the amenities like home & beach toys and safety gates for all the stair areas were a thoughtful and welcome touch. We cooked every night in the well-appointed kitchen and relaxed every day at the beach. The Barrys were very responsive to any inquiries we had. We particularly loved the proximity to the “no-vehicles-allowed” beach. This is a first-rate vacation home, and we hope to return soon!

Fantastic beach house in a great location!
The beach house was beautiful, clean, and had everything you could possibly need, especially if you have young kids. The location was ideal for quick walks to the beach and the views were amazing. Kristin was very accommodating and responsive. We can't wait to book a stay here again!

Amazing rental!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Seraphina By The Sea! The owner, Kristin, was super attentive during the entire process, which made planning our trip worry-free. The home itself is spectacular - super clean, wonderful furniture / decor, great layout, tech-enabled, and super close to the beach. Its also equipped with everything you'll need during your stay, from the kitchen to the kids room to the beach gear. We've stayed at properties that claim they have everything you need...and then they don't. This was definitely not the case here - we literally cannot make one recommendation as to something that was missing or needs improvement. We will definitely return!

Perfect location and amenities
The property was beautiful, best landscaping on the street. Numerous outdoor patio seating locations with child safety gates for all stair access. The garage has everything you need for a short walk to the beach, we appreciated the extra wagon and the rolling cooler tremendously. House was very nice with everything we needed for cooking and the mattresses were extremely comfortable. Owners answered all questions and concerns with very prompt responses. Would absolutely book again.
