My family and I had such a great time at this property. The views are amazing from every part of the porch that you go on. The pedestrian beach was very close and convenient. Overall it was just an amazing vacation for my kids and I to enjoy. Everything in the house was amazing. There’s not one the complaint that I have except that we had to deal with a little bit of ants. Which was taken care of immediately. The host were amazing with making sure we were taken care of. I’m already planning nexts years vacay at this house. Sincerely the Carmona family

We enjoyed spending time at this property in a quiet neighborhood close to the water. We did have problems with the tv sound bar not working and the downstairs toilet non functioning, but the owner was quick to request a maintenance person. Even though those problems were not fixed during our visit, we enjoyed the amenities, view and time spent with long time friends.

I can’t say enough great things about this property. There were so many details that went into making the whole experience absolutely amazing. From the Keurig Coffee, the baskets of snacks, the warm throw blankets, the family games and so much more made this one of my favorite family vacations. We walked the beach every morning and there were even Baja Hoodies for those days that were cooler. If we had any questions or concerns, they were addressed right away. Can’t wait to plan our next trip!

My family and I went to this home and had a blast!! The home was fully stocked with everything we needed along with notes on the walls for additional instructions!! We did try to contact the homeowner by phone because some alarm went off and locked us out the home for sometime but was instructed to only communicate through the app which was time consuming and frustrating but we figured it out on our own! Other than that We enjoyed ourselves!!

We booked this house for a family-and-friends thanksgiving getaway and it was PERFECT. I have seldom found a rental with so many thoughtful touches throughout -- it really was delightful in the literal sense of the word, from included snacks to provided blankets for sitting out on the porch. The owner even responded VERY QUICKLY when we had questions about the Google Home aspects!
It's definitely a home we'd love to book again!

My friends and I enjoyed a fun and relaxing weekend at this beach house. It was beautifully decorated and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. The Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was just a short walk to the beach and they even had a wagon to transport our cooler and chairs. 10/10 we would definately stay there again!

The home was beautifully decorated and had all the extras! Coffee, paper towels, seasonings, beach chairs. The list could go on! The AC was on upon our arrival both up and downstairs. The view is impeccable and the beach is a short, walkable distance away. The host was very responsive. My family and I will definitely stay here again.

Such a lovely house. We had such a relaxed vacation staying at this house, everything was there that we need and then some. They had so much more than any house we have ever stayed at before. It was a short walk to the beach and not very far back into Galveston. We will be booking this house again.

We had a couple of hiccups but the owner fixed all issues in a very timely manner. Close to beach and beach chairs were a plus. I would stay here again. Kitchen had everything we needed, and coffee maker was a duo drip and keurig.

This place was well appointed. Second row from the beach. Lots of upgrades to make your stay comfortable. Deck was wrap around. Great to either stay in or out of the sun.

Great getaway!
We had a great stay at this property! Very clean and nicely decorated. There is a small beach area just across the street or you can go to the public beach area via a cart trail from the subdivision. Would be at the top of our list when back in the area. Michele was quick to respond to any questions we had while there.

Sunrise/Ocean view from deck, clean home supplied with all the little items you forgot to pack! Beach toys, chairs, noodles, gas grill, w/d, there was nothing we wished for. Owner took time to consider what people would want/need. Would definitely stay there again. Nestled between the busy Galveston and surfside beaches, we enjoyed plenty of space on the beach with no loud chaos in the neighborhood at night for a good nights sleep.

Hiccups and swarms of mosquitos
This property and the location is beautiful. BUT we had to wait for an hour to check in because the maid was still cleaning. Loose boards that will raise up outside on the top deck so be careful when walking. Trash of a ton of beer and other trash was left outside from the previous party. Dryer was full of sheets and bedding items. A list of issues of what was still needed to be fixed didn’t come in to me until after we checked in. Fridge did not cool at all so we had to either lose those items and or move them to the freezer. Host never communicated back letting us know she was sending someone out to look at the fridge. We were told the fridge is old and goes through a defrost phase from time to time. AC control was hard to figure out because it’s a smart home. That was so frustrating because we turned on the heat by mistake until we figured it out. The hallway smelled like feces so we don’t know where that came from but that was never addressed and we were told it would be looked at after we checked out. Host must not live in the area because she never came to see the issues. Front door upstairs started to lock on its own and we had to use the side door to reenter. DO NOT BRING MORE THAN FOUR VEHICLES because there’s no room and you can’t park in the street or grass. That’s noted but no explanation as to why or alternative to where else to park. Bring liquid detergent because washer is not HE.
Floor inside feels unsteady and boards or tile is lifted so be carful when walking or you will catch one and trip. Cigarette smell was in one of the bedrooma but host said she would investigate after we left.
Cute home with beautiful decor and furniture. The beach is very close BUT no walkway to bring coolers or other heavy items. There are rocks blocking that path which makes it very difficult to get to the beach. More for fishing vs swimming so make sure you know this first if you plan on swimming and brining gear to the beach. Host asked for pictures for the items we complained about but this app doesn’t allow me to send them.
Bring toilet paper and hand wash soap because it’s either there or not. Maid left trash bins super full and didn’t take any of it with her.
On a positive note, host did allow us to check out at 1 for these issues but again didn’t communicate unless I messaged her again. She’s not very responsive.

Short But VERY Sweet
Our family needed a quick and easy get away, but our schedules only allowed for Thursday-Saturday. I found Sea-La-Vie on VRBO and couldn’t be more pleased. Location was ideal: just a few yards to the private beach; Nicely appointed home with everything on hand including soap, lots of towels, coffee, and the coffee filters; and a deck for enjoying the lovely evenings. We will DEFINITELY return…often, I hope!

The Best
This place was absolutely phenomenal!! I have not one complaint, the interior design is beautiful the amenities were absolutely everything we needed. I’ve stayed at a few locations but this property tops the list!! Not to mention the communication with the property manager, Michelle was so helpful, warm, and attentive with any questions. We will be back hopefully sooner than later! Thank you again!
