MerSea Pirates Beach House in Galveston

Everything was absolutely wonderful… we didn’t want to leave!

Host was very helpful and timely. House was nice and kitchen well equipped. enjoyed the stay!

Fantastic location and beautifully presented house with excellent amenities

This is a lovely, spacious home, steps from the beach, with impressive decks and views of the gulf.When my two children were younger, we would typically rent condos for our Galveston vacations (The Dawn, Ocean Grove etc.) Now the kids are adults in college, each with significant others. It's a different type of family vacation. With a large home like this, you can be together on the elevated first floor or the enormous deck, but you also have the flexibility to split up, be alone, read a book, take a nap or whatever. You're never on top of each other, and it would have been just as comfortable with eight people, rather than just six.The photos showing the view don't really do it justice. It's wonderful. The water view is very important to my wife, she's a morning person who gets up before the rest of us. She spends an hour or two facing the gulf, with a coffee and a book. Although there are some great-looking rentals without legitimate water views, we're just never going to rent one of those.I found the Pirates Beach neighborhood to be quiet, even in mid-July, a little more lively over the weekend but at all not crowded or noisy. In terms of contact with the hosts, the check-in instructions were clear, we had everything we needed, no problems came up. I was confident they would respond quickly if some issue arose. But, what renters really prefer to NOT have to reach out for anything, and that's the experience we had.We would definitely stay there again.

We’ve stayed at this house multiple times, and we are are always excited to return. Great set-up, comfortable, and short walk from the beach… great for families. We’ll be back, highly recommend!

Great location! Our stay had a bit of a bumpy start as the cleaning crew had not shown up. But the host was amazing, even driving down himself and arranged for the cleaning to crew to come out in the evening. And then stayed with the crew to clean. I was blown away. The rest of the stay was great. The house is beautiful and really just steps away from the stand. That section of the beach was not busy at all so we had it to ourselves. The kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked for a party 8 the whole time. The common spaces in the home were designed well that we spent more time together than we had in years, we were just all very comfortable. You could tell the neighborhood had been hit hard by Hurricane Beryl, but this one seemed to be unscathed. Thank you Patrick!

Close proximity to beachfront.

The house is lovely. We’ve rented many many houses over the years; by far, this one has the most beautiful view. The weather wasn’t very cooperative , but we played games and enjoyed the comfort and coziness of the house. We had a great week ; we cooked a lot and appreciated. the well stocked kitchen. We would love to come back when the sun is shining?!

We enjoyed the view from our balcony and the easy access to the beach from this home. It felt quiet & kid friendly most of the week, things picked up a bit on the 4th of July, but that was fun too. We loved being closer to the seawall and the Strand too. We have done annual trips to Galveston for the past six years at various parts of the island, and we would book this property again for sure. Icemaker was the BOMB!

Great house and location
