Front Row Beach Home, Your Piece of Paradise

We will help you have a great vacation!!
Check in 4pm - Check out 11 am.

**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.

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. 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 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. 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. 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 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.

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.

Enjoy a relaxing coastal drive into Galveston where you will have plenty of shopping along the Sea Wall or downtown on the Strand. Take in a movie, play miniature golf, or race a Go Cart. Galveston now has “The Pleasure Pier” where you can find thrilling fun and great eating.

Take Harbor Drive on the weekend and check out the line of restaurants, shops and cruise ships.

Other popular attractions in Galveston are the Schlitterbahn Water Park, Moody Gardens, and Airport Museum.

Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions about the property. Thank you and we will help you have a wonderful vacation!

Beachside treasure
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!

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.

Great location with Gorgeous View
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!!

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!

Great place right on the beach
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!

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.
