Wish upon a Sea Star & Escape to this 3 BR 2 BA house with scenic ocean views!

Located on a corner lot adjacent to beach access road 25, this 2nd row beach house offers wonderful ocean views and is close and convenient to the path leading to the water's edge. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in a split level style. The master bedroom has plenty of privacy as the only room on the top level with its own deck and a full bathroom. The other two bedrooms are on the middle level along with a full bath and a laundry room. The unique split level design is great as it provides 3 levels without having two long staircases. On the first floor is the kitchen, dining area and the living room. These rooms have large windows with views of the ocean all around. Go right out the french doors onto the deck and you are looking right over the beach. The large deck has lots of room for enjoying the sunny days or the breezy evenings while providing views of both the ocean and of the bay as well. Don't forget to enjoy the sunset views too - they are beautiful. Whether admiring the views or enjoying the beach, this house makes it all comfortable, relaxing, easy, convenient and fun.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free vacation home offers games.
Guests will find features like internet access.

Fun in the sun!
Susan, the property owner called us 3 day before we were to arrive. She informed us of a water leak issue she had at property. She moved us to another property of theirs with absolutely no issues. This is the second time we choose her property to stay at and will choose it again. Excellent communication and nice, clean and well cared for property.

Great Vacation!
We had 6 adults and 3 kids on vacation and this property was in a great location! It was an easy walk to the beach and it was great not having to cross the road with little kids. It’s about a 20 minute drive from downtown Galveston but the drive isn’t bad at all. The property owner was super easy to get ahold of and answered all questions when needed. We loved the house and the location! We will definitely stay here again!

Loved how close it was to beach!! Only problem was it got hot in top room. The window unit didn’t work but, we reported it asap. But, it was still reasonable enough to stay at this house again. Thank you for a great time!!

Everything was great about the property! We chose the cold weekend of spring break, accidentally, but still a relaxing stay. Hope to come again on a warmer, drier weekend or week.

Just the right spot!
Nice home located just a short walk down the beach access walk and conveniently located just next to beach access parking. We had 3 families with plenty of space for everyone. Great beach view from the patio!! Check out their list of extras available to make for lighter packing!

Honest Review
Pros - Clean and neat - Very easy process all the way from booking to checkout, with detailed instructions on how to conduct ourselves and maintain the house. - Nice hosts and the house had a binder with a copy of Check-In details, tourist attractions, restaurant options, and local grocery store options. - The kitchen was fully stocked with real plates, cups, and cookware. - I like the way the rooms feel separated which is the number one reason we booked this. - There is deck seating and you can get some good views of the beach from there as well as just opening the blinds. - There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels to use. - The decor was spot on for your classic beach house vibe! - The TVs come with apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. Cons - Lack of a stock of toiletries like toilet paper, paper towels, liquid hand soap, liquid dish soap (like Dawn), shampoo, bath soap, air freshener, etc. We had to do a couple store runs. - Slow drain in the second floor bathroom tub and rusting of the shower rod. Liner could use replacement too. - The big bed on the second floor bedroom to the left of the bathroom is so soft that it has little back support. The other beds were more firm than that, and there were plenty of beds to choose from, but I lucked up with that bed and just ended up sleeping on the couch. Overall - We would book again. We enjoyed ourselves and our stay, with the goal of treating the home like it was our own-with respect.

Quiet..Beautiful Gem 50steps from the beach.
This was such a wonderful beach house, and can’t wait to come back. The whole family loved it so much. We didn’t even leave but once over our 5day stay. Simply amazing, and there is a little store just down the road 3min drive if you forgot something. Such great hosts as well, highly recommended!!

The house was very clean and comfortable. Short walk to beach that made going twice a day easy with little ones. Although on second row we still had great ocean views from both decks. We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was fantastic and so close to the beach. Very clean, just as pictured. Check in was easy and communication with quick response. We loved our time in Galveston. The beach had fine, soft sand and the water was quite warm, even in April.

Best house = Best Memories
Me, my friend and our 4 children (15, 10, 7 snd 6) absolutely loved the house. There wasn’t a need for anything! Everything was available, clean and beautifully arranged and decorated! Staying at the house made our spring break adventures more memorable. The house was also close enough to walk to the beach!! Very close!!

Wish Upon A Sea Star is a lovely property. It is beautifully decorated and although it is not first row, you can see and hear the beach from the deck and it is less than a minute walk to dip your toes in the ocean. Susan was very helpful and very responsive. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a large pantry, which was really helpful, because we had a lot of groceries.

Easy beach access (I'd say 1 min), and nice cozy setting for our family. Nearby (5-10min) food choices are sparse, but Galveston proper had lots of choices.

Perfect vacation spot
We had the best time on our family vacation. The beach is just steps way which was perfect since we had 5 small children in our group. The house is beautifully decorative and well stocked. The beds are SO comfortable. We all commented on how well we slept. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely home. We all can’t wait to come back!
