Beautiful Island Home on Drum Bay, close to beach and pier
Pier Paradise is a lovely two-story home near Drum Bay, located in Seahorse Estates along scenic Bluewater Highway. Wraparound decks provide fantastic Gulf of Mexico views from two front decks, and Drum Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway and wetlands on the back side with more upper and lower decks. The house is two story with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The main floor has open concept kitchen, dining and living room with huge flatscreen TV. Easy access to a long crabbing and fishing pier via boardwalk near the back side of the property, and a kayak launch nearby. Open sandy beaches just a short walk across Bluewater Hwy. This area tends to be less crowded than the city and county beaches in Surfside, Treasure Island and Galveston.
* Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filter at kitchen sink.
Perfect location for a quiet part of the beach and great fishing and crabbing right out the back door. House was perfect for our needs. Would stay here again!
We loved this house! The dock out to the bay and the walkover to the beach made this an ideal place for crabbing, swimming, and fishing! The views were amazing in every direction! We would definitely stay here again.
The location was great and the inside felt very home like. We loved the access to the pier and beach making it easy to fish, crab, and play. We plan on coming back next year!
We looked for a location that would be in the vicinity of the beach and crabbing/fishing and this diamond brought it all right in walking distance!We had a nice shrimp boil out on the deck, went to the beach multiple times and crabbed and fished in the evenings and night on the pier running out to Drum Bay with plenty of fish lights to draw them in. We were able to add a big pot of crab to our shrimpdinner. It was a real treat! Stores for ice and groceries in close proximity! We drove in to Galveston for souvenirs at Merdochâs and ice cream at La Kingâs Confectionery on the strand. The Management and Matt were super to help with any questions. We made great family memories here! Unfortunately, we didnât get good pics from the pier. Shucks!
The property was by itself which gave us very peaceful evenings, very close to the beach. Very well stocked house. Honestly the best beach house we have rented and we have rented 4 in the past. I would rent this again in the future
We booked our stay recently for easter with the intention of doing some fishing on the private pier, and spending some time on the beach. We loved everything about the house, especially the outdoor patio space with outdoor furniture. You get views from just about every direction of the house. There was never an issue with bathrooms! Typically, with any trip and a large group of guests you can tend to run into having to share a bathroom or two. The house featured 3 full bathrooms, and an outdoor shower. It makes things so much easier when you are not having to fight to take a shower lol. Matt, the host was extremely responsive and helped with making booking easy. It was definitely a weekend for building great memories.
Best of both worlds. Bay out back and beach in front. The bay pier was a perfect walk for my MIL's daily walk. Otherwise, you found her on the balcony enjoying the breeze and sounds of the surf. I loved the short walk to the beach to achieve my daily walks. House has some cosmetic issues but does not deter from the vacation. Had everything we needed for cooking.
House exceeded expectations. Plenty of room for 8 adults. Location is great with no close neighbors. Had concerns prior to staying of things being dated but the cleanliness of the place more then made up for it.
We had a good size group, and everyone had their space. The house was super cute with the decor and accents. The wraparound porch and balconies were very much used and provided great views to both the beach and the bay. And the location was great, a short walk to the beach and a short drive to town. I received super quick responses from the owner, and they were very kind and willing to work with whatever we needed. Will definitely stay again!
Our group of 12 all had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and very well stocked with supplies. The location was great, and the walkover to the beach was directly across the street and very walkable. The minor issues we encountered were quickly resolved by the host. The beach was clean and EMPTY, and we pretty much had it all to ourselves! We will definitely be back. Thank you!!
This beach house is an excellent place to stay. The porches and balconies are delightful. The boardwalk to the pier was a great place for crabbing. We caught lots of crabs. Easy access to the beach over the dunes (a bit of a walk) or drive onto the beach. We brought a canopy and beach chairs for extra comfort. The kitchen is very well equipped with the comforts of home. There was a nice variety of games and puzzles. A very pleasant venue for our family get together! Recommendations: Bring lots mosquito spray, and a few extra dish towels. The bathroom towels were adequate, could use an upgrade.
When we arrived at the rental, the lockbox was hanging wide open, not locked. Then trying to figure out which door we could unlock was not pleasant as each door would not open or was stuck, there are 3 doors to the property and not a single one worked/locked properly. We overlook and get unpacked....well the 1st night we get there the weather was unseasonably cold....the wind literally came thru each door, the furnace could not keep up and we froze the 1st night. The next day I contacted the proprty manager and was told a handyman would be over to look at the door situation as we could not lock our condo from the outside, I was then told the handyman fixed the door issue, which was untrue, nothing was done to keep us secured. Every dish we pulled out of the cupboard was either very dirty or broken, all dishes had to be cleaned prior to use. The wifi was "down" and we were told a handyman would be over to look at the issue as we could not watch tv without wifi and with it being so cold we needed some entertainment. The owner of the property ended up at the property for like 4 hours, come to find out the wifi account had been closed so wifi was not even available. We now had a strange man sitting in our living room for hours....nothing was resolved until the 4th day in, when I sent a mesage to the property manager I was ignored again... then the rain started and literally the water flowed right thru the door, we had bankets and towels down to soak up the water. And mor
Everyone loved the house, and solitude. Great views too! There were a few things that need attention⊠doors and locks, 1 of the blue Adirondack chair armrest fell off when someone tried to use it. I would still rent it again!
The house is perfect for a large group, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It rained a lot during our trip so we definitely enjoyed the extra space as we played games and watched movies on the huge tv. It is located close to a drive on beach access and very quiet & peaceful location!
Matt was super responsive when I had questions during the check-in which was very helpful. Our family will definitely be looking to stay at this property again.
The only 2 things are the mosquitos downstairs, they are horrible so bring stuff to fend them off and some of the exterior doors are hard to shut once they are opened.
The house was perfect. There was room for everyone and the views were amazing from the ocean across the way to the sunsets at night. The patio was so relaxing. We absolutely loved our time there and can't wait to go back again
We had a wonderful time at this house. My son brought 2 friends , and they really enjoyed having their own living room, upstairs, where they played the x-box while cooling down from the hot summer days. They also loved the fishing / crabbing pier. I took advantage of the large gas grill that heated up quickly, and cooked quickly!
The location is just far enough away from the town center that the usual traffic was not an issue, at all. Views include the Gulf and the Bay. In Surfside Beach, the easiest way to bring your stuff to the beach is by using your vehicle, so not being "on the beach" was not an issue.
We had a great stay at this beach house. The views were wonderful and the location is convenient for access both to the ocean and bay. Thereâs a boardwalk through the dunes for beach access just across the road. The location is nice with wonderful views. The kitchen was also furnished well with all utensils, tools, and all cookware we needed.
