We surprised my husband with a surprise birthday getaway with all the children and grandchildren. The home had plenty of room for everyone. The views were amazing and there was plenty of seating for us to comfortably all gather together. Everyone had a wonderful time!
Fantastic location. We had a great time. Beautiful and clean house! Host was very responsive and received very clear and helpful instructions. Thank you again!
Beautiful propety, and so much space for everyone. The pictures do not do it justice. Well stocked, and was a great location. Will book again if I have the chance!
The home fit perfectly for our multi-generational gathering. From grandparents to teens/toddler, there was a place for everyone to be comfortable and have fun. We love to cook when we are all together and the kitchen allowed for multiple people to work at the same time. I suggest a golf cart to transport people and beach stuff, and of course to enjoy riding up and down the beach. Thank you for a wonderful week... lots of memories were made and we hope to stay again!
This home was our favorite rental our family has stayed at. Well stocked and great layout for several couples with children. The host was quite attentive and prompt with any questions we had. Loved the location to the beach.
There were nine adult-sized people staying in the house, and it was perfect as far as number and size of bedrooms. That each had its own bathroom was fantastic. Property manager was very helpful and responsive when we had a little trouble with the thermostat. Loved the balconies and game room. Our only nitpick/suggestion would be to have more dishwasher detergent available. It’s a negligible expense and effort that has an outsized positive impact.
Rented this house to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary and it was the perfect location. All the grandchildren shared a room and all three of my siblings and their spouses had their own room and bathroom. We had some extended family and close friends stop by one afternoon and everyone commented on how nice the place was. The weather wasn't the best but the house was large enough that everyone had plenty of room to move about. Kitchen and bedrooms were laid out perfect.
My family and I enjoyed staying at this property.......very, very nice and the location is perfect. Breathtaking views from nearly every room and the house is absolutely beautiful. Any questions were promptly answers by management.
I look forward to staying here again.
Great, beautiful house with terrific view and plenty of sleeping space. We loved having a ‘en-suite bathroom for every room during our family reunion. The covered porch was a life saver for energetic kids during rainy days. The only negative was the recent rains contaminated the beach and brought out swarms of mosquitoes though I feel all of Galveston island area was in the same predicament. Hosts were prompt communicators. Large kitchen had just about everything you could ask for!
We had a such a great time at The Princess and The Sea. The house was in an ideal location and the size was perfect for our four families (17 people). Melinda and Ted were proactive and responsive in their communication.
Looking forward to coming back!
We had a group of 20 family members ranging in age from 3-84. The room arrangement was perfect. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. Well stocked inside and out.
The owners responded almost immediately to questions before and during our trip. A random issue with the water supply was repaired within two hours-on a Sunday afternoon no less!
Out adult children asked us to go ahead and book for next year-high praise:)
The Princess and the Sea-give it a try!
The pictures don’t do this place justice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was amazing and answered any questions we had very fast. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beach view was wonderful and only took a few minutes to walk from the house. What we all appreciated about this property is that each room had a bathroom. We will definitely be booking this property again!
Perfect for our family which included 6 married couples. The large upstairs room included multiple beds and bathroom for a family however bathroom was a little small for so many people.
The large common area with kitchen was great. We also enjoyed the game room downstairs. Overall, we were very pleased with the house and beach area and would consider for future get together. We were able to rent a golf cart for beach use which I highly recommend.
Hostess was great and answered all questions.
The Princess & the Sea was a perfect location to relax, play and make marvelous memories that we can look back on fondly! The house was equipped with everything needed for a family getaway. Spacious beautifully decorated rooms throughout the house! Patios & decks furnished with gathering room or tucked away with soft chairs or hammock into a corner for quiet time! Swings under the house in the breezeway was a fun touch for old and young alike. We gazed upon majestic sunrises each morning and calming moonlit beach good nights!
This house is perfect for large groups. We had 11 adults and lots of kids and babies. It was great. Each room was cozy and had its own large closet and clean bathroom. The GIANT kitchen was perfect for feeding everyone!
It had two washers and dryers which was such a lifesaver! They had beach chairs and beach toys that’s the kids used everyday!
And the porch?? It’s what dreams are made of. It’s so large it’s like its own upstairs backyard. The kids had a great time and the view of the ocean was beautiful.
We rented a golf cart in town and that made getting to and from the beach a breeze!
I would 100/10 recommend this house to others. We can’t wait to come back!
We loved our stay at this property. Amazing house, great space and plenty of rooms with on-suite bathrooms for all. Our group was very comfortable. Great setup for kiddos with all the beach toys on property and game room. Our host was extremely responsive and helpful. Only critique is that there is not a dune walkover from the house. We had to rent two golf carts for our group which were very expensive for the week. It was doable, but would have been much easier and less expensive to have a walkover from the house. Especially as we have young children. Everything else was wonderful though!
Our traveling group of 11 senior citizens had a wonderful stay at The Princess & the Sea in spite of enduring cloudy, windy conditions the whole week. The gorgeous home is in an excellent location... close to the Galveston ferry. It's beachfront with fantastic views from almost every room (although, as the listing states, there is no walk-over to the beach). Renting a golf cart or two provides easy access to the beach for families with small children and/or senior citizens. Having 6 bedrooms, each with its own bath is outstanding. The living area and kitchen/dining on the second floor allowed for wonderful meals (we love to eat!) and spending time together playing games and visiting.
One drawback... there is no elevator, so the stairs were very challenging for some in our group. However, there is a Concierge Service that helped us get our luggage and coolers up the stairs to the main floor and back down again. They were lifesavers!! I don't think we could have done it without them!
The house manager was just a phone call away and she handled all our needs promptly and efficiently! I also can't say enough about the wonderful information and prompt communication provided by the homeowner, Melinda! Any questions we had prior to check-in were answered immediately and check-in/out was a breeze!
I highly recommend this home for your next Bolivar beach vacation!! You won't be disappointed by The Princess & the Sea!!
