Casa de Mar | Steps from the Shore & Ocean Views

Escape to Casa de Mar, a vibrant and family-friendly beachside retreat nestled in the coveted Pirates Beach subdivision of Galveston, TX. This charming 4-bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath home is just steps from the shoreline and offers some of the island’s most breathtaking ocean views from its two expansive decks.

Let the sea breeze welcome you each morning as you sip coffee on the partially covered lower deck, or gather the whole family for al fresco dining with the sound of crashing waves in the background. After a day on the sand, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower, fire up the charcoal grill, and unwind with the salty air all around.

Inside, the home boasts warm southwestern charm, with a cozy living room adorned with an ornamental fireplace and colorful talavera-style kitchen accents. The open layout makes it easy to connect and create memories, whether you're sharing a meal under the shell-covered chandelier or enjoying complimentary board games and puzzles with the kids.

The main level features a bright and airy primary suite with a queen bed, cable TV, private deck access, and an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious dual-headed shower and art deco windows that paint rainbows on the walls. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for the whole family—two with balcony access for those who can’t get enough of those ocean views.

Located just a one-minute walk to the beach and a short drive to Galveston’s top attractions—like Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, and the Historic Strand District—Casa de Mar offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Book your stay at Casa de Mar today and treat your family to coastal comfort, captivating views, and the unforgettable charm of Galveston Island.

Best of Pirates Beach

I have rented numerous homes in Pirates Beach neighborhood over the years. Several beach fronts. This was the most nicely furnished and most well maintained of all. Thoroughly enjoyed this property and hope it is available for my next visit to Galveston.

We were very impressed with the property. It was just like the pictures on feature VRBO. The house was very lovely; it was all that we expected and more. We enjoyed our stay so much, that we have decided it will be our go to vacation home for Galveston, Texas. Hearing the sound of the ocean at night and watching the sunset was breathe taking.

Perfect House for a Large Group

We had a party of 11 stay at this home and it was absolutely perfect! The house was clean on arrival and very well-appointed for a large group. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals for our family. The proximity to the beach made getting 6 kids down a breeze and the downstairs bathroom was a very nice plus! The kids loved the bunk room and the adults all had their own space in the other 3 bedrooms. We loved this house and hope to be back very soon!!

This is our second visit to Casa De Mar. We love the house. It has everything we need, plenty of space and you can't beat the location. We are seconds away from the beach. I am able to head up from the beach to prepare meals and see the kids playing on the beach from the house. We definitely will be back.
