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.

Beach Getaway

Beach house is in a great location and accurate to the photos of the property. Went with wife and kids to get away from work and the everyday routine. Couldn't have picked a better week to enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine. Couple of comments for the property manager is to ensure windows get cleaned before the next guests arrive. Allow thermostat to be lowered a few extra degrees, as rooms are not being cooled equally and upstairs got a bit hot. Both upstairs showers leak badly from the bottom of shower door. Roach traps need to be placed discreetly around the kitchen and living room. Overall we enjoyed our stay and our boys loved the pool and easy beach access. Thanks!

Great location

Location and access to beach is fantastic. Quiet, few people. The house was nice. The only downside is the air return is in the downstairs bedroom with the bunk beds and if you close the door it is very loud. So you either have to keep the door open (not ideal for kiddos at bedtime) or just don’t use that bedroom. Otherwise, the house was comfortable and everything worked.

Beautiful home

The house was perfect for my family. Living room was large enough for all of us to late night board games. Kitchen was great. I cooked dinner 3 of the nights and had plenty of prep and cooking space. My only criticism would be the room with the 4 beds was configured pretty tight. Leaving it hard to get to the closet. Other than that had the most beautiful views and perfect walking distance to the beach. Highly recommend.

Beach with a Pool

Pool for kids was a hit. Sleeping arrangements worked out for our families, each family had a room of their own. Would of prefer a larger coffee pot as we are all coffee drinkers. Couldn't find spatial for cooking. Other than that, everyone enjoyed the stay.

Nice place, could be cleaner though

The property quality is very good. Didn’t like the roach droppings in the some of the cabinets, the one cockroach we saw, the couple of butter smeared plates etc. The ceiling was apparently under repair as several large Sheetrock sections were without covering

Almost perfect

A really nice house, if somewhat neglected. A fabulous location, and great sleeping accommodations. It was well stocked and had a firepit and pool. Sadly, the weather didn't cooperate enough for the pool. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was it was badly in need of some maintenance and a little lacking in cleaning. With that it would be just the perfect spot for a family beach vaca. We enjoyed our stay, but couldn't help feeling like it could be so much more with just a little more attention.

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.

Perfect spot in Galveston

This was by far my favorite trip to Galveston. The owner was super easy to talk to and he was very accommodating. The house is in the best location. It housed our party of 10 comfortably. The pool and fire pit really set this property over the top!

wonderful weather, great beach

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 house with beautiful views and beach access

Would be 10 out of 10 if we'd known the garage doors were damaged due to the hurricane and that the parking wo garage damage does not accommodate full size trucks I recommend they put this in the house description. Aside from that it was cozy while still having hurricane damage to the cielings and moisture damage that was definitely odiferous. Wonderful other than the unexpected

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!
