About this property

Ocean View Retreat! Pets, Fenced, Community Pool

You have found the perfect location to enjoy a wonderful beach getaway with your family and friends! This magical getaway is located across the street from the beach. The beautiful ocean views are endless and amazing. It is a short walk to the before you can have your toes in the sand and a drink in your hand. While at the beach house you will enjoy listening to the waves while you relax on the hammock, one of the tall Adirondack chairs(which offer an even better beach view), or lounging on the patio furniture. There are two wonderful outdoor dining tables on the upper and lower deck for you to enjoy a freshly grilled meal from the provided gas grill. There is a large fenced-in yard where you can enjoy playing outdoor games or playing fetch with your dog.

The cozy beach house has high ceilings, an open floor plan, and a large sectional that will welcome you upon arrival. The recently renovated kitchen and dining area are the perfect places to gather with friends, prepare meals, play games and enjoy time with one another. The large island offers seating for four while the dining table allows seating for 6.

The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and an outdoor shower. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed and private ensuite that was also recently renovated. Bedroom 2 also has a queen bed and shares the second bath with the third bedroom. Bedroom 3 has a wonderful bunk room that sleeps 7. It has a full over full bunk and a twin over twin with trundle.

The Terramar neighborhood has vehicle beach access at the front of the neighborhood where you can unload your beach supplies for the day and set up for a day of adventures. Not only is the beach easily accessible, but this lovely community also offers a beautiful communal pool, fishing pier, boat ramp, and covered gazebo. There are so many choices for your entire group and there is something for everyone.

The beach is amazing but the city of Galveston also has so much to offer. Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Moody Gardens, and the Pleasure Pier are some of our guest's favorites. The historic Strand district offers great shopping, dining, strolling, and La Kings Ice cream and candy store.

You will truly love this amazing getaway. We look forward to having you make magical memories with your friends and family.

Annual Family Vacation

We’ve stayed at this home for several years. We love the neighborhood and the location of the home. The porch is one of our favorite places to be. It has a shady sitting area as well as sunny to enjoy the beach view and breeze. We’ll be back!

The property is a perfect property for a large family gathering. Multiple beach accesses away from the crowd of Galveston yet close enough to do anything in Galveston with ease. Definitely recommend.

Didn't Want to Leave

We stayed over a month at Sunny and Chair with our two dogs. Everyone enjoyed the huge fenced backyard, and the property was a convenient, short walk to the beach. Location was very peaceful and everyone in the neighborhood was friendly. Even though weather wasn't always cooperative, we used the large front porch as additional living space to relax and enjoy the views.

We’ll be back!

Loved the location, of all the houses we’ve rented this one had a good breeze most days on the upper and lower decks. The home was well stocked and Kathy was so easy to work with. We hope to rent this one again next year. We loved it!

Wonderful Stay at Sunny and Chair

This was a lovely, clean house with really nice amenities. Great location with outstanding gulf views. Loved the large deck and colorful chairs. Seating on the upper deck was plentiful and the lower area was also very nice with lots of places to sit and a wonderful, refreshing outdoor shower. The yard was fenced and the perfect place for our pup to run around. The neighborhood though a bit far out on the West End, was very quiet with a nice pool and fishing dock. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect house for family and dogs

We stayed at this house back in November, and they’ve made even more lovely upgrades since then. Nice new decorations are noted throughout the house, and a new TV that is compatible with more streaming services. The house is just perfect. Very clean, has a lot of kitchenware, dog bowls, random things that you will need when staying a long time. The deck and downstairs is well maintained- fence in good condition to keep dogs in. Super close to the beach, and the beach that it’s close to is not crowded at all- you can drive your car right on the sand. Maybe we were just lucky but we experienced no mosquitos at all either. This will be our “go to” place for many years to come.

The Perfect Family Vacay!

The pictures are accurate but the view is even better. The house is directly across from the beach, not far at all. There are multiple ways to access the beach, first you can walk out of the back yard and directly across the road, second drive around and park across the road, or third drive to a public access point closely located to the left and right of the house where you can also drive your vehicle on to the beach. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We had a few unpredictable issues, with one call Kathy was easy to connect with and resolved our issues fast. The house has an open floor plan that makes sense, with a group of 8 and 2 small dogs we had plenty of space to move about. The fenced in yard was perfect and safe space for our dogs and kids to play. The colorful chairs on the deck were my favorite, perfect for conversations and enjoying the view of the beach and waves.

Great family trip!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean with plenty of room and all of the essentials needed in the kitchen for meals. The location is excellent, right across from the beach with a gorgeous upper deck view of the ocean!! It was the perfect family trip. We'd definitely stay here again. My boys had a blast.

Beach Trip

Everything was great, location is spot on, plenty of space for everyone, yard was great for the dogs, outdoor shower was handy for coming in from the beach. Be sure to bring Off and a fogger as the mosquitoes are viscious if you want to sit outside at sunset. Also bring bath soap because none is provided. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and we can’t wait to go back!!!

Great get away

We stayed here for the thanksgiving break. We had a personal emergency and the host was super accommodating to our situation. This house is PERFECT for dogs- the yard is fenced in and it’s a super short walk to the beach for them if you don’t want to load them in the car after being sandy. Easy place to wash them downstairs. The house sleeps quite a few people, there was enough room for all of us. Great view of the beach. Very limited tv channels, but they have Netflix. We had a great time and will DEFINITELY book again.

Wonderful experience

We stayed three days. Perfect weather which made sitting on the deck a real pleasure. Great, direct view of the Gulf from the deck. Both dogs especially enjoyed the fenced yard. The house is exactly as advertised. We enjoyed it a lot.
