About this property

Amazing Beach Views! Seashell Getaway, a Charming Beach Cottage!

Come relax at Seashell Getaway! A delightful coastal cottage with breathtaking beach and bay views!

The soothing coastal decor, cottage ceilings, and comfortable furnishings provide an absolutely tranquil getaway! Seashell Getaway has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and is just a short walk to the beach. Amazing views of both the ocean and bay!

Seashell Getaway has an open living, dining, and kitchen area with wood floors through out the home. The first guest room has a full bath and a queen size bed. The second guest room has a queen bed and a gorgeous day bed with trundle. This room also has a full bath and includes a washer and dryer.

The living room has a flat screen TV, cable and blue ray player with internet connection. Phone and internet are available to guests. Stay connected via Wi-fi!

The fully equipped kitchen has a large breakfast bar in addition to the dining table with seating for 6 people.

Enjoy the amazing views from the lower deck, offering 1000 square feet of outdoor living space, with great views of the beach and the Audubon Sanctuary. The deck also has plenty of deck furniture providing seating and a comfortable gathering area for friends and family. The concrete patio below also has a sand shower.

Have a campfire at the beach (yes, this is allowed on Bolivar Peninsula!) fish at nearby Rollover Pass, or just kick back and relax!

Nearby, a must see for all, is Houston Audubon's Bird Sanctuary in High Island - just 5 miles from Seashell Getaway.

Galveston Island is a short drive and a ferry ride away and offers every kind of entertainment imaginable! Shopping on the Strand, amusement and water parks, museums, fine or casual dining, antique shops, golfing, biking and water sports to mention a few. Visit Galveston's new Pleasure Pier, tour the historical district, take in all Moody Gardens has to offer or visit the Schitterbahn Indoor/Outdoor Water park.

Come and enjoy a wonderful beach vacation at Seashell Getaway!

Please note that our home is not directly on the beach. The beach is across the street with no other properties between us and the water. Our association owns a beachfront lot across the street from our home, you can walk or drive right to the beach.

Great Accommodation with a Ocean View
This property has a fantastic view, which we loved. The house was immaculate and clean. Stephanie is friendly and the best host! She kept in contact 24/7. We have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly staying here. We will be back and can definitely suggest this house to visitors with a small family. Thank you very much for sharing your house with us, Stephanie.

Don't miss this great place to stay!
This is our first stay at this property, but one of many to the area. We will only use this location from now on! Beautiful spot with all the amenities you need, gorgeous view, and super relaxing. Close to town to get what you need, but far enough out from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The owner is fantastic on communication. I can't recommend this place enough!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie DeLao

Host profile image
I grew up spending many weekends and summers fishing at Rollover Pass with my dad. Camping, cooking on a Coleman stove and waking up to the fresh ocean breeze was breathtaking. The many days and nights spent there are life-time memories I cherish wholeheartedly.

The purchase of Seashell Getaway was a blessing. My wife and I enjoy the beach and the natural beauty God created. We want our children and grandchildren to enjoy and build sweet memories of fishing and spending time at the beach as I did growing up.

Hopefully, you and your family will build precious memories at Seashell Getaway as well.

Best Regards,

Art and Aida DeLao
