The house was great! It had so much room to combine several families with a great bunk loft for the kids. Plenty of parking for all! The house is right across the street from the beach walkway, which is SUPER convenient, and the community pools were just a short golf cart ride away. We will be back!

An amazing family beach getaway at the beautiful Serene Shores!
My family and I had a truly memorable stay at the beautiful Serene Shores! We were all deeply impressed by the thoughtfulness and generosity of our hosts: incredible! From the easy check-in to the wide range of amenities in the lovely kitchen - including not only coffee makers but also coffee itself, and tea, a blender, and a range of popular seasonings and cooking oil!- to a host of other thoughtful provisions: air hockey and other games for the young ones; multiple large-screen televisions; great beach towels, and even a s’mores kit, for making s’mores in their fire pit on the ground-level outdoor visiting area: layer after layer of thoughtful care for their guests!In addition, the layout of their lovely home provided really cozy visiting spots for our family in the family-room-and-kitchen areas, and outdoors on the balconies and around the fire pit - not to mention the bunk room itself! And it was a very short walk for us to the beach, where we saw the full moon rising over the sea one night: stunning!Our family had a deeply wonderful time there, and I think the beautiful, welcoming spaces and the loveliness of the views in all directions really added to the joy of our time together. In addition, the incredible bedrooms and bathrooms - and how they were laid out - made the spaces available perfect for us. Our family’s stay in this wonderful beach house was a joyous time for us all: a dream come true! We would happily return for another stay in the lovely Serene Shores!

Loved the Luxury Beach House
This home exceeded our expectations. It is expansive, immaculate, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, beautiful countertops, and all of the cooking supplies you could need. Almost every room has a TV and some of the comfiest beds we've ever slept in. All of the adults commented on how wonderful the beds felt.The location was ideal. We had a view of the ocean from our deck, and it was a very short walk to the water. The host supplied beach chairs, a wagon, totes, and toys. We only needed our bathing suits and sunscreen.The host even gifted us a s'mores goodie bag to enjoy by the fire pit. It was thoughtful and one of many touches that made this vacation so special. We were all so sad to leave!If we had any questions about the home, the hosts were very responsive and took great care to meet all of our needs. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to enjoy the good life in Galveston, even for a couple of days.

The house was very well stocked. My only complaint is that there are many stairs to walk to the beach. The wagon does not roll over steps so it is useless. My husband as mobility issues so we could not even take him in a wheelchair.

Beds were cozy and a/c and fans were included in each room. All guests had privacy while still having plenty of space for communal hangs. We had a few questions during our stay and the owners were extremely quick and helpful in responding. Our family made so many memoirs and will definitely be back!

Perfect Beach House!
I cannot say enough about how amazing this house was for our family vacation. The owners were very quick to reply to any questions and the beach access is just a few steps away. The elevator was especially great for hauling all the luggage up and down. Kitchen very well stocked and we were a group of 15. They even had beach equipment we could use and a pack and play, high chair, child’s booster seat, and not to mention the baby gate to prevent our toddler from wondering up the stairs. The was house very clean and spacious. I highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay here again.

This property is absolutely beautiful. We loved sitting out on the decks with our family watching the waves from the gulf and enjoying the sunrise and sunset. The hosts, Lisa and Ron, have really thought of everything. They were so accommodating when asked about some handicap items for the in-law suite for my 99 year old father-in-law who would not have been able to join us if there wasn’t the elevator access. Also there were beds for the toddlers which eliminated the need to bring those items from home. The kitchen was totally stocked with everything you would ever need. We were so very surprised to see all of the beach items too. I have stayed at several beach homes over the years and this one was by far THE BEST. Thank you for making our family stay so memorable.

Our family had the best time and were so comfortable at the property. The house was exceptionally clean and stocked with all the things a family might need while on vacation. The extra touches like the welcome bag, beach towels, beach closet, etc. were so thoughtful and appreciated. We all fell in love with the elevator because it made our unloading and loading so much easier.

Serene Shores is Amazing!
What an outstanding property. This house exceeded all expectations. We had 9 adults and 7 kids for our annual family vacation and all agreed it was a 10 out of 10 experience! Plenty of room. Great common areas to enjoy family time. Beautiful views! House was stocked with everything we needed and then some! We took advantage of the large range and double ovens. Grilled on the gas grill outside, and enjoyed playing on the beach with all the awesome beach toys that were at the house. Pointe West is a hidden gem as well. We had a great time at the pools and lazy river. The elevator was great, and the communication was quick and informative. This was the best VRBO our family has ever been to. We hope to stay here again one day!! Great job by the owners.

Fantastic Property
This house was perfect in every way for our family. With 5 kids and 8 adults it was important that each one had their own space and Serene Shores was a perfect fit. With beach access just across the street we never had to get into the car and drive, and the chairs, canopy, and toys provided by the owners were spot on.
The house was very clean and fully stocked with all things one would expect and some you wouldn't -- ice machines!! What a great idea. We loved the kitchen area as it was large and allowed just enough "cooks in the kitchen" when it came to meal time. I especially appreciated the elevator when it was time to check in and check out. For someone with compromised knees it was a godsend!
The owners, Ron and Lisa, were very responsive to our needs, always getting back to us within 5 minutes via text or phone calls. We got a note from them after we got home telling us they found a couple of items in the house, and after confirming they were ours, they immediately had them shipped to us at their expense. How great is that???
We have stayed in Pointe West several times over the past few years and this was an outstanding trip! We will certainly put Serene Shores at the top of the list for our next trip.

Amazing stay, well taken care of and stocked vacation property
Absolutely amazing house. Everything was so well taken care of and the house was so well stocked. Sometimes we rent houses that barely have enough cooking tools etc but this place was extremely well outfitted for a family trip with multiple young children including high chairs, pack n play and just about most appliances for cooking you might need like air fryer , rice cooker, instant pot and it has legitimate cooking tools.
Had multiple step stools which were great when you have young kids. The place was extremely well taken care of. I would definitely stay again.
My entire family was raving at how wonderful the house was. Everything in the house was high quality.
Extremely easy to reach out to and very responsive. If you have questions about what is stocked, I found them extremely responsive with messages and pictures to help us with our packing plans.
Additionally the beach that this is adjacent to is great, very clean water. No cars besides official beach patrol.
