The Sea La Vie home was beautiful and close to the beach as advertised. Our group of 9 was able to stay all in one place while we visited Galveston. The neighborhood was quaint and charming. However, When you see amenities; face value is what you will be getting. Refrigerator has no working ice or water (when this was brought to owners attention, they said they just listed fridge as amenity) there was half a roll of paper towels left behind for the week (we searched and couldn’t find any anywhere). You can technically walk to the beach from the house, but don’t expect a gate in the backyard leading to it. There is a walk way a few houses down or a drive over to the parking lot where there is public beach access. Grill but no charcoal (actually one handful of charcoal was left in the bag, not enough to cook with)Maintenance came to remove a bee swarm during our stay, went outside to see strangers looking into our cars. Then we couldn’t use the balconies due to angry bees. Pack your own hand soap, shampoo, condition, etc. There was not enough for one person to use for their stay, let alone our 9. TLDR; nice place and GREAT location, but pack EVERYTHING you think you’d need for anything there! Bee prepared!
