About this house rental

The Sea Shanty is a bright and spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bath home in Galveston’s Pirates Beach, with beautiful ocean views from both decks and the sand just steps away. Made for gathering, relaxing, and reconnecting, it is an easy place to slow down and enjoy the Texas Gulf Coast.

The one story home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests and features an open living, dining, and kitchen area designed for spending time together. The spacious main living area includes a large dining table, kitchen bar seating, a wet bar, and a comfortable living room with an 80 inch Smart TV viewable throughout the space.

Enjoy morning coffee in the sea air while taking in the views and sounds of the ocean from the front deck. The expansive, partially covered back deck offers comfortable outdoor seating and a high top dining table for six, all positioned to take advantage of the beautiful ocean views. Dolphins can sometimes be spotted in the surf, and brown pelicans are a familiar sight overhead. Pirates Beach does not have drive on beach access, making the views and beach experience even more enjoyable.

The Ocean Room features a king bed, an en suite bathroom with a large walk in shower, and direct access to the back deck. Located just off the main living space, it maintains privacy from the remaining three bedrooms.

The Bird Room features a king bed, an en suite bathroom with a tub and shower combination, and access to the front deck.

Beautiful home! GREAT location to the beach. Lovely neighborhood and community. The owner was so kind, thoughtful, and communicative. I felt like we were friends chatting. Three generations of family gathered and had a wonderful long weekend. Plenty of space for us all. Nice beach items to use. Our stay reminded us how lucky we are to live so close to Galveston. We would LOVE to stay at this house again!

We loved our stay at the Sea Shanty. I have three grandchildren . The bunk room was perfect for them. And the rest of us were very comfortable as well. Very clean and well stocked. We especially loved that there was an awning wagons and toys so we didn’t have to haul that to the beach or take it home. We will definitely stay there again.

Beach access exceeded expectations and was very quiet during the week. Weekends on the beach were busier but still plenty of space. Location is wonderful with easy access to island hot spots but just far enough to be away from the crowds. House worked wonderful for our 2 families and would easily book again. Host kept us in the loop with anything going on around the house and was very communicative.
