From grandparents to teens/toddler, there was a place for everyone to be comfortable and have fun. We love to cook when we are all together and the kitchen allowed for multiple people to work at the same time. I suggest a golf cart to transport people and beach stuff, and of course to enjoy riding up and down the beach.

We had some extended family and close friends stop by one afternoon and everyone commented on how nice the place was. The weather wasn't the best but the house was large enough that everyone had plenty of room to move about. Kitchen and bedrooms were laid out perfect. ##### Matt M.

Spacious beautifully decorated rooms throughout the house! Patios & decks furnished with gathering room or tucked away with soft chairs or hammock into a corner for quiet time! Swings under the house in the breezeway was a fun touch for old and young alike. We gazed upon majestic sunrises each morning and calming moonlit beach good nights! ##### Rochelle G.

That each had its own bathroom was fantastic. Property manager was very helpful and responsive when we had a little trouble with the thermostat. Loved the balconies and game room. Our only nitpick/suggestion would be to have more dishwasher detergent available. It’s a negligible expense and effort that has an outsized positive impact. ##### Jason M.

Great, beautiful house with terrific view and plenty of sleeping space. We loved having a ‘en-suite bathroom for every room during our family reunion. The covered porch was a life saver for energetic kids during rainy days. The only negative was the recent rains contaminated the beach and brought out swarms of mosquitoes though I feel all of Galveston island area was in the same predicament. Hosts were prompt communicators. Large kitchen had just about everything you could ask for! ##### Kenneth P.

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful gulf-front beach house! It provided more than enough space for our group of family and friends to relax, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories to celebrate our daughter's graduation. Every corner of the house was thoughtfully designed and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and stress-free vacation.Though it is a very short walk to the beach, one of the highlights was having the golf cart—such a fun and convenient way to get to the shore! It made our beach days even more enjoyable and easy, especially with kids and gear in tow. The home itself is spacious and welcoming, with stunning views and plenty of areas to gather or find a quiet moment. Communication with the host was truly top-notch—they were responsive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect from start to finish.We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside escape. Kudos to the host who made my daughter's milestone a memory to cherish forever! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b85d8b13-5ef3-4d91-a8d6-9eceb6fb8c3e-1748710215342.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b5d5ba1-b635-48b4-90d1-0a21ec8c1bad-1748710216424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f2f3e5fd-ee65-48cd-bc96-0b03d2aff2db-1748710216994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fb52096e-470c-419a-b284-9052655a82dc-1748710219093.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Avalon B.

This house is perfect for large groups. We had 11 adults and lots of kids and babies. It was great. Each room was cozy and had its own large closet and clean bathroom. The GIANT kitchen was perfect for feeding everyone! It had two washers and dryers which was such a lifesaver! They had beach chairs and beach toys that’s the kids used everyday! And the porch?? It’s what dreams are made of. It’s so large it’s like its own upstairs backyard. The kids had a great time and the view of the ocean was beautiful. We rented a golf cart in town and that made getting to and from the beach a breeze! I would 100/10 recommend this house to others. We can’t wait to come back! ##### Milly H.

Our traveling group of 11 senior citizens had a wonderful stay at The Princess & the Sea in spite of enduring cloudy, windy conditions the whole week. The gorgeous home is in an excellent location... close to the Galveston ferry. It's beachfront with fantastic views from almost every room (although, as the listing states, there is no walk-over to the beach). Renting a golf cart or two provides easy access to the beach for families with small children and/or senior citizens. Having 6 bedrooms, each with its own bath is outstanding. The living area and kitchen/dining on the second floor allowed for wonderful meals (we love to eat!) and spending time together playing games and visiting. One drawback... there is no elevator, so the stairs were very challenging for some in our group. However, there is a Concierge Service that helped us get our luggage and coolers up the stairs to the main floor and back down again. They were lifesavers!! I don't think we could have done it without them! The house manager was just a phone call away and she handled all our needs promptly and efficiently! I also can't say enough about the wonderful information and prompt communication provided by the homeowner, Melinda! Any questions we had prior to check-in were answered immediately and check-in/out was a breeze! I highly recommend this home for your next Bolivar beach vacation!! You won't be disappointed by The Princess & the Sea!! ##### Linda A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd A.
