ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
âąâąâąPLEASE NOTEâąâąâą The house is located in the Beachtown community with a pool. Because of several issues in the past, the house does not participate in the pool.
WARNINGS: It is very important to know that all the dunes and bushes on the island are the poisonous snakesâ habitats. This has been known in Galveston for many years back. And the dunes are the protected areas. Please stay off the dunes and bushes. Stay on the dune walkover getting to the beach. Always watch your steps when you walk on grasses or the walkover.
BUGS: ants, mosquitos, chiggers, palmetto bugs, cockroaches, silverfishes, spiders, love bugs, big bugs, small bugs, tiny bugs, and all kinds of bugs are part of Galveston's life. Because we are in the coastal region with wetlands and open ditches surrounding. To control these creatures, the house has been sprayed quarterly and annually by our local pest control company. Per our pest control company, the spraying does not prevent them from crawling or flying in during the open and close of getting in and out of the house. However, if they do fly in, they won't survive. You might see them unexpectedly during your stay.
Do not leave the door open, close it immediately after use, turn off the outside lights at the doorways also help to minimize them from getting inside. The lights attract mosquitoes and bugs. Please do not bring food, snacks, candy into the bedrooms to prevent ants. Please do not leave food crumbs on the floor, inside the house will attract ants, or the ground floor, outside where the picnic tables, will attract wild animals, ants, bugs.
PLEASE NOTE: The house is located in the Beachtown community with a pool. Due to several issues in the past, we decided to stop participating in the community pool.

Love this place. Love the little neighborhood. The owner was responsive in minutes for anything we needed. Easy walk to the beach. Clean. Had a great time.
Beautiful home just steps away from the beach. The house is equipped with everything you need for the beach: beach toys, chairs, etc. The owner is extremely communicative and makes sure you are satisfied with all aspects of the house. We love to do a big family breakfast and the kitchen was perfect to do so! We will definitely be back
The property is just as described: lovely, light and bright house, well appointed, good kitchen equipment, nice dishes and glasses, with a short walk to the beach, with beach chairs and towels available. Host was extremely helpful before check-in. Overall a great experience. Would love to come back!
Everything was great with the home and stay. We had only one concern, the cleaning person let two of the guests into the home without knowing who they were.
nice, clean, about what you'd expect for a higher end rental out of season. Lots of stuff for kids ages 3-12. That's a nice touch for the nicer more expensive rental homes.
The only negative was that the dishwasher didn't work. We were there for 5 days spending Thanksgiving, but we made do. I'd stay there again for sure. Mai was great, very attentive and very personable.
Fantastic property and the hosts are tremendous!
Better than the description, this is a luxury beach house that has everything you need. Very comfortable, and exceptionally equipped, we wanted for nothing. The hosts were incredibly helpful, and much appreciated. We had the time of our lives and look forward to another opportunity to visit Galveston. I recommend this property very highly; it is well worth the price. You will not be sorry, it will make your Galveston trip memorable. Thanks to Mai for all her help.
Thank you to Mai and her role in communicating with us to setup this wonderful trip. Highly rated this house and would definitely return for another round. Beautiful house, great service and amenities and nice location to everything.
The Seaglass house was a lovely location for our family gathering. It is well located on the East End of Galveston and we enjoyed having the beach to ourselves early in the morning.
The house has plenty of space and the beds were quite comfortable.
The only regret is we were so busy I ran out of time to try out the claw foot tub in the primary bathroom. :) If stairs are an issue there is a bedroom on the first floor off of the kitchen with a bathroom next door.
Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of beach chairs, towels and toys to keep everyone occupied.
We did have a slight issue with the septic system which is typical on an island. Mai & Tom had someone on sight the next day to address the issue, even on a Sunday. Mai was very communicative and informative throughout the visit. Check in and out were easy and simple.
Thank you for a lovely weekend,

We loved our location on East Beach in Beachtown! So close to the places we wanted to visit. The beach isnât crowded and the little neighborhood is super safe.
The house was a nice size for the 7 of us. All adults and 1 child. There was a bedroom/playroom combo that was nice for us.
The kitchen is superbly outfitted. The beds/linens are wonderful too.
The house was super clean and Tom and Mai were so easy to work with!
The rental was perfect for our group of friends looking for a relaxing beach escape. The house itself was beautiful and well stocked (even had a Nespresso!). The location was perfect for us with a short walk to beach (and also tents/chairs for sitting on the sand). Communication was great. Mai was very helpful. Highly recommend this house/location!
The house was absolutely beautiful! The decor was exquisite. Very comfortable!
The house is well maintained and the house was exactly what the photos showed. The property manager gave clear directions from check in to check out. Very kind. The location was beautiful and the house was decorated so beautifully and very detailed. It was perfect and exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend staying at the Seaglass house.
Had a great time! 4 adults and 4 little ones all 3 and under stayed and the home was perfect for us. Short walk to the beach. Nice neighborhood. Tons of beach gear were supplied as well as towels. Toy/playroom was a great bonus! There was construction going on in the neighborhood while we were there but it didnât bother us.
Overall, we liked this place for our sons, their SOs, and 2 grandkids. Things you may want to know.
1. Very well maintained and relatively new.
2. 21 steps up and another 18 to 2nd floor.
3. Doors are a bit wonky to unlock/lock and need fixing.
4. Sounds minor but very irritating. The handrails have the wrong paint, prep, or both and paint flakes off. Soon flakes are EVERYWHERE - you, your clothes, your car, inside the house etc.
5. Kitchen is very well equipped in all aspects - appliances, cookware, plates, glasses, etc. 3 coffee pots so all bases covered.
6. There is only 1 (uncomfortable) chair, so if you want to curl and read.....not many options.
7. Sofa in living room forces you to "slouch" as the base is very deep. Overall, not very comfortable.
8. No nightstands at beds so no lighting to sit in bed and read.
9. 2nd frig in garage is very handy.
10. LOTS of stuff for the beach - chairs, towels, a wagon, etc.
11. Outdoor shower (in garage) keeps sand etc. out of the house.
12. 5 minute walk to the beach.
13. Lots of new construction occurring so noise of hammering, loud music, and yelling. While not very obtrusive when we were there, be aware they are about to start directly next door which will block any view of the water (which is very limited as is) and will be quite noisy (we were there until 21 December 2021). Also construction vehicles are all over the narrow road, making entry/exit non trivial.
14. Claw foot tub is a bit of a head fake as the water pressure to it was so low/slow it was unusable. The tub in the bath between BR 2 and the kids room was almost impossible to use to bathe children due to the door configuration.
All in all, these issues were annoyances vs. showstoppers. They're tolerable for a few days. Love being on East Beach. Would I go back to this house? Maybe, but I would verify construction is done on this street at a minimum.
