Oceanfront home with pool, large decks, fire pit and private walkover to the beach

Follow your bliss, and it will lead you straight to Seaside Serenity— a sublime oceanfront oasis on the Texas Gulf Coast. Located in peaceful Miramar Beach, the shore here is calmer and less crowded than other spots along the coast. With space for 20 people and four bedroom suites, even large groups will be able to find a bit of privacy at Seaside Serenity, while large sun-drenched decks and an oceanside pool provide plenty of outdoor space to relax by the sea.

Location: Miramar beach community of Galveston, Texas

Beach access: This home has a private dune walkover to the beach.

Private pool: This home features an above-ground pool that is 4ft deep with a spacious deck for lounging.

The main level great room welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows facing the ocean. Two comfortable sofas and two armchairs surround a modern wood coffee table. Over the fireplace is a 65-inch flatscreen television. Your whole crew will love to kick back here in the evenings and watch the game, or maybe compete in a friendly family game night. There’s plenty of space for everyone to chill.

The dining table with ocean views leads into the open kitchen. Crisp white cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances are accented with a teal subway tile backsplash. A small, tiered bar space is ideal for serving up some game night snacks or happy hour cocktails.

Two bedrooms on this floor provide plenty of flexible sleeping space. The first bedroom has a queen-size bed and a triple stack of twin-size bunk beds. A full bathroom with a step-in shower is right next door. The second bedroom has two full-over-full size bunk beds. An attached full bathroom has a step-in shower with a glass door.

Upstairs, the third bedroom is a luxurious master suite— complete with a king-size bed, a flatscreen television, and a comfy side chair. When you wake up in the morning, slide open the glass doors and step out onto your private oceanfront balcony to take in the gentle sea breezes and the panoramic ocean views. The ensuite master bathroom has a step-in, glass-enclosed shower. Another bedroom on this floor has two queen-size beds and an attached full bathroom.

When your crew is ready to soak up the Texas sunshine, simply step outside— the beach is your backyard. Hang out in the pool and work on your tan in one of the lounge chairs. Grab a quick snack at the outdoor dining table. Head down to the oceanside pergola for an afternoon siesta in the shade. Take a stroll down your private boardwalk and straight onto the beach. At Seaside Serenity, it’s all at your fingertips and right outside your door. Plus, the energy and excitement of the Galveston Strand is a short drive away. For the magical oceanfront vacay to the Texas Gulf Coast you’ve been daydreaming about, Seaside Serenity is where it all begins.

Ladies Trip
View of Gulf was great. Very private beach. House was comfortable and clean. Better suited for large groups. Many beds but no nightstands or much room to move around in bedrooms other than master. Bring your own beach chairs as none Provided by house. Most restaurants and larger grocery stores are at least 20 mins away. Suggest a light be put at bottom of stairs where lockbox is. Difficult to see at night. Otherwise very relaxing trip.

The property is great but needs a great deal of maintenance. It looks as if it is run by a property group and not by an individual who might see to the maintenance. I loved the place but would not go back without being assured that the problems we sent to Russell Griffin were taken care of.

Fabulous friends getaway
We had 7 adults and the property was a perfect size for us. The beds in every room were comfortable and each bedroom had a bathroom. We could all get together with plenty of room on the deck, in the kitchen and dining area and in the living space. It was easy to get to the beach and we loved the pool. It was a wonderful weekend. Owner communication was great. *Note: the kitchen is adequately stocked with dishes and appliances but bring your own ice, salt/pepper, condiments, etc. There is some sheetrock damage and damage to the wooden bridge; I assume that is due to the recent hurricane.

Great getaway on a remote spot outside of galveston
Had low expectations for this vacation spot because a hurricane had ripped through Houston just a few weeks earlier. turned out to be a perfect spot for a week getaway with a family of 6 adults and 3 children under 10! Beautiful oceanfront property, as described! Kids loved the pool. Affordable. About 25 min away from Galveston restaurants, Walmart, Kroger. Otherwise not much nearby- a great quiet getaway. Each room has a bathroom, it was clean and pretty. There was some drywall that had gone up to repair issues after the storm- didn’t bother us too much. Downside are the flies and mosquitoes - bring bug spray!

Hidden gem from away crowds
This beautiful home lies about fifteen minutes from Galveston but directly on the beach. It’s too bad the kids didn’t realize there would be no seashells. It did have an above ground pool and deck which was great for us. The water was calm. Overall this would be a great place for you to stay for the night. Enjoy yòur stay! I will booing fit again

Holiday became a disaster for family when reserved house wasn't available.
I can't comment about this property accurately, other than it was used to get a booked and paid for reservation, but then not available. Property Manager moved us to a different house, and it had not been cleaned after previous tenants visit. Filthy conditions, and broken appliances, holes in the walls, and unsecured.

Perfect Beach Weekend
My son and daughter-in-law got married on the beach. We rented this home and our other family rented the one next door. It was a perfect intimate weekend with family and the house was perfect for our large group. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms made for ease of everyone getting ready. The kitchen was not as well stocked as other places we’ve stayed but cooking wasn’t really in our plans. Would love to stay here again.

Perfect for our large family!
Perfect for our family. We had 4 adults and 7 young kids. The pool had a safety gate and nice deck around it. Beautiful view of the ocean off the master bedroom and large deck. Short walk to the beach. Easy to pull a wagon full of toys, chairs, coolers. We saw dolphins off the coast right near where we were swimming one morning. A little bit of a drive to town to eat. But we only did the once, cooked at the house the rest of the time. The nice thing about the location is that it’s fairly far from town so not busy on the beach at all.Owner was responsive and helpful. We’ve stayed at different houses each year for 6 years. This was one of our favorites! Hoping to book it again next year!

Great communication
We planned on staying here for our mini overnight vacation. When we got to Galveston they informed us that this particular property wouldn't be ready for us and instead were offered another property on Jamaica beach which worked great in the long run. I appreciate the communication and we understand things can happen beyond our control. We got a beautiful house on the beach still and my daughter who has never been got to have a once in a lifetime mini vacation.

Not what we booked
Overall the property was OK. The big issue was we picked out and paid for a house on the beach this was not at all on the beach. We found out one week before our trip which included our entire family and was fully paid for that the house we paid for wasn’t an an option any longer. This house was way way off the beaten path. Due to the bugs and weather the pool was useless. We had planned on a true beach trip that was not possible this location. We had to find and spend extra money to entertain the family due to the last second switch on the original house. Overall this house needs a lot of work. Only two burners worked in the kitchen which made cooking for 7 people difficult. The balcony out back was leaning to a point we didn’t use it. The house is in a terrible spot for bugs nonstop and just little things here and there that didn’t hold up. Overall it’s unlikely we will use vrbo again. We spent months planning this beach vacation and it’s simply wasn’t a beach vacation at all. We made the drive a few times to the beach but with 4 kids and 2 dogs and walking no longer an option we spent an additional $300 just getting the car cleaned when we got home. Very disappointing just be careful. Thanks

maintenance problems throughout - lock box for entrance did not work / corroded; main oven did not work, floor on main floor sandy/ dirty upon our arrival. Wish the elevator was available; hauling all our food / beverages and suitcases up the stairs proved exhausting because we are over 70 years old.

Trying Time at the Beach
The location was great but it ends there! The AC was awful, did not cool! It felt better being outside than inside…it’s July in Galveston Texas!!! Five bedrooms and bathrooms with one AC u it that DID NOT cool! Cockroaches the size of your feet! The couch was very uncomfortable! We go to Florida or Galveston every summer and have stayed in alot of beach houses and this was by far the worst! The refrigerator was not the best for storage and the ice machine did not work! The owners obviously do not care about their clients because for the price of staying at this house, they could easily buy two new couches, replace the AC units and maybe add another one and remodel the bathrooms that were very small but had broken tiles everywhere. We called for service on AC units and were totally blown off! I would not recommend this house to anyone unless the owners step up and put some love into this house! The blinds on the windows were broken and in bad shape! I am sorry to sound so negative but I would consider staying somewhere else!
