    We are located only minutes from the Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Water Park, Galveston State Park, the movie theater, the miniature golf course, the Airplane Museum and even NASA and the Kemah Boardwalk are close enough if you’d like to spend a day there!

Central A/C and ceiling fans throughout. The living room has a large, flat screen TV and a DVD player. There is also a TV and DVD player in each bedroom.

This was our fourth year at the Enchanted Sea Star and this visit like all the others, was exceptional. Right on the beach, fantastic ocean views, very quiet neighborhood at least during the times we were there. We appreciated the improvements to the ramp, appliance upgrades, furniture adds and especially appreciated the new grab bar in the bathroom which made the stay more safe and secure for one of our wheelchair bound guests.Thank you for a relaxing week!

This is possibly our fourth time booking, and it’s always a perfect stay. Plenty of towels, warm bedding, everything clean, and a great view. We did have a small issue getting into the house due to the keypad code, but one quick call to the host was all it took to get the door opened.

This house was PERFECT for my mom's 91st bday celebration! It was clean, the weather and the view were spectacular, the beds were comfortable and the living room, dining room and kitchen were very accommodating for both children and adults. There was a good supply of cooking utensils - pans, bowls, cutlery, plates, etc. The very large table in the dining room was a great place for meals, group discussions and games. The ramp made unpacking and packing very manageable. We have rented many houses in Galveston through the years, but this house, by far, is the best one yet! We cannot wait to stay at this house again in the near future.
