This is a lovely, spacious home, steps from the beach, with impressive decks and views of the gulf.When my two children were younger, we would typically rent condos for our Galveston vacations (The Dawn, Ocean Grove etc.) Now the kids are adults in college, each with significant others. It's a different type of family vacation. With a large home like this, you can be together on the elevated first floor or the enormous deck, but you also have the flexibility to split up, be alone, read a book, take a nap or whatever. You're never "on top of each other", and it would have been just as comfortable with eight people, rather than just six.The photos showing the view don't really do it justice. It's wonderful. The water view is very important to my wife, she's a morning person who gets up before the rest of us. She spends an hour or two facing the gulf, with a coffee and a book. Although there are some great-looking rentals without legitimate water views, we're just never going to rent one of those.I found the Pirates Beach neighborhood to be quiet, even in mid-July, a little more lively over the weekend but at all not crowded or noisy. In terms of contact with the hosts, the check-in instructions were clear, we had everything we needed, no problems came up. I was confident they would respond quickly if some issue arose. But, what renters really prefer to NOT have to reach out for anything, and that's the experience we had.We would definitely stay there again.

Annual getaway

Great location! Our stay had a bit of a bumpy start as the cleaning crew had not shown up. But the host was amazing, even driving down himself and arranged for the cleaning to crew to come out in the evening. And then stayed with the crew to clean. I was blown away. The rest of the stay was great. The house is beautiful and really just steps away from the stand. That section of the beach was not busy at all so we had it to ourselves. The kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked for a party 8 the whole time. The common spaces in the home were designed well that we spent more time together than we had in years, we were just all very comfortable. You could tell the neighborhood had been hit hard by Hurricane Beryl, but this one seemed to be unscathed. Thank you Patrick!

The house is lovely. We’ve rented many many houses over the years; by far, this one has the most beautiful view. The weather wasn’t very cooperative , but we played games and enjoyed the comfort and coziness of the house. We had a great week ; we cooked a lot and appreciated. the well stocked kitchen. We would love to come back when the sun is shining😊!

Great access to a quiet section of Pirate's Beach

We enjoyed the view from our balcony and the easy access to the beach from this home. It felt quiet & kid friendly most of the week, things picked up a bit on the 4th of July, but that was fun too. We loved being closer to the seawall and the Strand too. We have done annual trips to Galveston for the past six years at various parts of the island, and we would book this property again for sure. Icemaker was the BOMB!

Five star all the way!

We could not be happier with our stay at MerSea! We loved being able to wake up to perfect views and walk to the beach in seconds. Instead of the usual trek, hauling beach toys and chairs, etc, we could just pop back to the house in no time if we needed anything. The location is close enough to all the attractions but removed enough to feel like we had our own private beach. The house is beautiful, clean and has everything we needed for a perfect vacation with family and friends. We cannot recommend highly enough!

Great views, comfortable home

We have had our eye on MerSea for several years and finally made the two week reservation. The home is fully equipped, extremely comfortable with fantastic views from the wrap around deck and from all the rooms. We actually made thanksgiving dinner for our family in August with peach cobbler for dessert. Loved the house, loved the location.

Perfect location

House location was excellent. We had a family gathering with 8 adults and 1 child. Our group had a couple of suggestions. The house had 4 bedrooms, but 2 of them need to be upgraded were it is more comfortable for adults. The beds need to be updated in these 2 up stair rooms. The master bedroom is beautiful and has a beautiful view. The ice machine was a life saver. We loved our stay. Thank you. Mike

We really enjoyed this house and location. The beach is so close, and the house itself is lovely. We appreciated the generosity of the hosts in terms of providing beach towels, beach toys, and even house toys and puzzles for their guests to use while staying (our kids were thrilled to get to play with some different Crocodile Creek puzzles). We were also so grateful that the hosts were quick to respond when we had slight issues with the temperature control. The kitchen is well equipped, the neighborhood quiet, the beach beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful time!
