Photos and Description of the Galveston vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 outdoor shower, sleeps 9

The Sea Biscuit is a short golf cart (provided) ride away from the beach so that you and your group can play all day and relax all night. Our home offers spectacular sunsets over the bay from the vast back deck and despite its proximity to the big city, this retreat really allows you to get away from it all. Inside the house we have broadband internet access, a big screen TV with satellite, DVD player, washer and dryer, surround sound with an IPOD connection, Super Nintendo and board games. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, griddle and a full sized refrigerator. Outside we have two lounge areas to enjoy the view of the bay, the beach and a nature preserve. Grill your dinner on the gas grill looking out over the water. There's no doubt you and your guests will appreciate the peaceful ambiance of the west end of Galveston. Welcome to Galveston!

Location: Texas < USA

Nearest Airport: Houston Hobby Airport at 40 Miles
Nearest Ferry: Bolivar at 25 Miles
Nearest Motorway: I-45 at 20 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 0.4 Miles
Car: necessary
Our home is located in Isla del Sol, a deed restricted neighborhood located 15 miles from the seawall, which means you are close enough to the action, but far enough away to have peace and quiet. The beach is close to the house and the bay is one house away as you can see from the pictures. Although the beach is 6 blocks away, we will allow licensed drivers the ability to use our golf cart to get there. This is a fun, hassle-free way to enjoy the beautiful, uncrowded beaches. The neighborhood also has a private fishing pier, which is a great place to catch flounder and a lot of fun for kids and adults alike. Galveston Island has an endless supply of fun things to go to like Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens and the Strand.

The Sea Buscuit Is the Place to Be

Eeya and Buro Houston, Texas
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a wonderful stay at the Sea Biscuit. The beach home was very cozy and a great start to our vacation. The home was fully stocked with all the amenities we needed and I mean everything you could ever need is there. The golf cart made it a breeze to get to and from the beach. My little nephew loved it especially when he was able to ride up front to the beach. The property was well maintained and clean. The owner was very nice and helpful with all our reservation questions. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful vacation home. We will definitely stay there again.

How we Fared

McKinney McKinney, TX
Review Submitted: January 14, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
We had a great time at the Sea Biscuit. The equipment in the garage came in handy, and the golf cart was fun and great for the kids. Everything was in stock and very clean. The neighborhood was kind and quiet. We didn't catch any fish, but we caught some clams instead. We hope you enjoy your stay there.

It is a beautiful house and great location! Our two families (6 total) had a fantastic time!!! It rained part of the time, but that didn't dampen our spirits because we just watched DVDs inside instead! We will definitely return!!! Thanks for the fabulous house!! The Territos

Great Galveston Value

Whoop-AgFamily Spring, TX
Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family of 5 (kids 15, 12 and 8) had a great time. The golf cart rides to the beach and to the bay side fishing dock were a big hit. Schlitterbahn about 12 miles away. Nice and quiet neighborhood. House had all the necessary amenities, though my 15 year old had to work to figure out how to access the satellite signal through the large screen TV. The outdoor shower was a great idea in this area (for "de-sanding" from beach trips). Tandem bicycle and other bikes also available in the storage shed. The deck was a hit with the wife, as she took in the constant breeze with a novel. Just be ready to go inside as dusk nears (mosquitos!). All in all, a great family stay-and-play destination as Galveston resurrects itself from Ike. Only reason for not rating excellent is that AC had to be turned on when we arrived, and it took a good 90 minutes before it was tolerable inside.
