Casa de Mar | Steps from the Shore & Ocean Views
Escape to Casa de Mar, a vibrant and family-friendly beachside retreat nestled in the coveted Pirates Beach subdivision of Galveston, TX. This charming 4-bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath home is just steps from the shoreline and offers some of the island’s most breathtaking ocean views from its two expansive decks.
Let the sea breeze welcome you each morning as you sip coffee on the partially covered lower deck, or gather the whole family for al fresco dining with the sound of crashing waves in the background. After a day on the sand, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower, fire up the charcoal grill, and unwind with the salty air all around.
Inside, the home boasts warm southwestern charm, with a cozy living room adorned with an ornamental fireplace and colorful talavera-style kitchen accents. The open layout makes it easy to connect and create memories, whether you're sharing a meal under the shell-covered chandelier or enjoying complimentary board games and puzzles with the kids.
The main level features a bright and airy primary suite with a queen bed, cable TV, private deck access, and an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious dual-headed shower and art deco windows that paint rainbows on the walls. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for the whole family—two with balcony access for those who can’t get enough of those ocean views.
Located just a one-minute walk to the beach and a short drive to Galveston’s top attractions—like Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, and the Historic Strand District—Casa de Mar offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
Book your stay at Casa de Mar today and treat your family to coastal comfort, captivating views, and the unforgettable charm of Galveston Island.

Extended weekend stay with family, Friday-Tuesday, was made extra special by this lovely property. Great views and very comfortable house, stocked thoughtfully for guests! Had a wonderful stay; highly recommend!
Property is just as advertised and the property management was very responsive. Plenty of space for the whole family and the proximity to the beach couldn’t get any better!
I have rented numerous homes in Pirates Beach neighborhood over the years. Several beach fronts. This was the most nicely furnished and most well maintained of all. Thoroughly enjoyed this property and hope it is available for my next visit to Galveston.
We had a party of 11 stay at this home and it was absolutely perfect! The house was clean on arrival and very well-appointed for a large group. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals for our family. The proximity to the beach made getting 6 kids down a breeze and the downstairs bathroom was a very nice plus! The kids loved the bunk room and the adults all had their own space in the other 3 bedrooms. We loved this house and hope to be back very soon!!
We enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend stay at this house! Just the right size for 2 families. House is nicely appointed and well taken care of. Just the right distance to the beach - not even a minute walk. Great views from every room in the house. Good communication with hosts as well. Thank you!
Location is fantastic. In a beautiful neighborhood, literal steps to the beach. Very clean, etc. Everything in working order. We had booked five nights, but unfortunately, a tropical storm came in and we were only able to stay two nights. It was unfortunate because we could not get our money back. They only issue refunds if the island is under mandatory evacuation, which it was not. This area is lower lying so it’s at an increased risk for flooding and we did not feel safe staying and getting stuck. You could not go outside without sand blasting you in the face. It was unsafe to be outdoors so we felt we had no other choice to leave. Other than that, I was very happy with the property itself and the communication with the property managers. That does make a big difference with vacation rentals!
The house beautifully set up, with all of the cooking amenities we needed. Such close proximity to the beach made it great for our family with young kids to go back and forth to the house if needed!
This rental was amazingly beautiful close to the beach and everything you need to make your stay welcomed and comfortable. Definitely doing this again.
This house was perfect for a short vacation with friends. So close to the beach, with an amazing view. The kids loved the bunk room, and they spent hours building puzzles. We will definitely be back.
The property was perfect for our trip. A quick short walk to the beach. The outdoor bathroom and shower was a nice feature. We will definitely be back.
We have vacationed in Galveston 5 times now and this was our first experience renting a house and on this end of the island! We will stay in this location for all future visits and would love to rent this location again and again. The size of the home was perfect, kitchen was the best stocked as we have ever experienced,.
The location was perfect with the ability to just walk right to the beach. The house was the perfect size for a family of seven and it looked just like the pictures. The whole vibe of the house was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely choose this same house again!
