Please come and enjoy a relaxing stay at our beachfront home. Our home; “Moondance” is located in the Sea Isle community! Feel free to ask for the address if you would like to drive by and take a look. You will enjoy wonderful views from this Beach House. Moondance’s design allows for a great view of the ocean and beach from your living room, and two of the three bedrooms. 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. The bunkroom guest will want to start their day on the main deck enjoying the morning breakfast from the deck’s dining table while feeling the ocean breeze. Enjoy lunchtime in the dining room, main level patio or one of two picnic tables 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. 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. We provide a full range of cooking spices and oils to help you create your favorite foods while using our new appliances. 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 (a little pricey). Walmart, Kroger and Randall's Grocery stores are about a 20 min drive from the house into Galveston. 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 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 lit and we can 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 your villa. 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. So 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. So, 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. Arrangements can be made allowing use of the Sea Isle Community. Sea Isle has great amenities, community pool which is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 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.

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.

The property was right on the beach with a dead end made for easy access to and from the house. The views were awesome. The house was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked, lots of beach toys for kids, we brought corn hole. We had 4 boys 13 years old and they loved it. Downstairs shower made for easy cleanup for the boys. We celebrated with twin boys birthdays. We cooked, played on the beach, flew kites, went fishing with a guide in the bay. Nancy the owner was easily accessible and super nice. Couldn't of asked for a better Birthday celebration and Spring Break! We will book again!

I and my husband, along with two of our friends stayed in this nice condo while on Amelia Island for a wedding. We were all impressed with the size of the condo. The swimming pool was beautiful and while my friend and I did not get in it, we sat by the pool and read books one afternoon, and it was glorious! I must say it was mostly rainy the days we were there. There were plenty of towels, and the kitchen was well-equipped; we did some cooking. The elevator was quite persnickety, and another woman who said she lived there told us “they keep saying the elevator will be fixed; it hasn’t worked right for a long time.” The two formal events we attended, and when it was the most rainy, was when we had to walk the stairs as the elevator wasn’t working. (Of course, that is not the fault of this owner.) We loved this condo and would certainly stay here again.

Loved every minute of it. Place was great! People super friendly. Loved the pool, canals, store, pickle ball?

We were right on the beach; out of town, but not so far as to make it difficult to go into Galveston for sightseeing and dining. We had the quiet we craved, with 2 bedrooms facing the ocean, so both I and my best friend could enjoy the ocean breeze and the sound of the surf. Our host was wonderful and very responsive. Highly recommended.
5.0
Nancy was great! She is so kind and you won’t find better communication. The house is right on the beach - just steps away from the water - you really can’t get closer. The views were beautiful (if you spend a lot of time in the house due to weather 🥴). The house was beautiful, location is perfect, and the host is wonderful - definitely recommend!

The house is perfect for a family and really worked well for our family, as we were in Galveston for a wedding. The owner, Nancy, is very attentive and is very kind and supportive, to make sure that your visit is enjoyable. We will go back, in the summer, where we can enjoy the water and the warmer weather!

We had the most amazing time, Moondance is even better than we imagined . It was clean and decorated beautifully. The view was spectacular. Our hostess was extremely prompt and very kind.

Had a wonderful time at our rental. Everything was as pictured on the site. Location was awesome. We just had a little trouble with the door lock but it wasn't anything we couldn't manage. Nancy was very easy to reach and responded right away with our questions. She offered to fix lock but told her she could wait. The house had everything we needed. Home away from home. Went with my family and my parents. We had plenty of room and privacy . My parents had there own bedroom with master bath and walk out balcony on lower floor and we had our rooms upstairs with a full bathroom as well. The house is a few miles down the island, so plan a 20 minute drive or so to get to the main drag. However there are some quaint little grocery stores near by so you don't have to go all the way into the city. Overall great relaxing time, and very happy with our house. It was our first time renting on VRBO and we drove all the way from Michigan. Oh and the beds were very comfortable.😊
5.0
This is a lovely home that is incredibly comfortable with the absolute best location and view. Nancy was a joy to work with, and just seems like such a kind soul. The view from the balcony is just perfect; we had a blast people watching. And the beach is just right there. We've stayed in many homes in the Galveston area, and this is easily top 3 of all time. Thank you so very much for your kindness, and for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. We are incredibly thankful for our time away at the Moondance!
5.0
This was our 3rd stay and 1st small family reunion at Moondance Beach house. We've already reserved another week's stay next May 2023. There are not enough glowing adjectives to describe this little slice of heaven on west Galveston island. Our hosts were exceptional and left no detail to chance. Their response to any and all questions or requests was immediate and always friendly.
If you want a totally worry free getaway, Moondance is your answer. 🌛💛🌜
