Luxurious Home - Short Walk to Beach, EV ChargerL2

3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Sleeps 8 - 2 kings, 1 queen, and 1 queen sofa bed (with a memory foam mattress)

Sapphire Shells is a coastal gem nestled near the seawall in mid-town Galveston Island. As you enter the home, you will feel the calmness of the Island from the modern coastal décor. On certain evenings, the gentle symphony of ocean waves can be heard while you unwind on the patio's rocking chairs.

You will love the open floor plan! Spend relaxing evenings in the living room with a 65-inch smart TV. Be sure to check out the chef's dream kitchen, which is fully stocked, including cookware, crockpot, griddle, etc. The Coffee Bar offers convenience with two coffee maker options: Keurig for one or a full pot for the whole family.

Sapphire Shells features 3 elegant bedrooms with black-out curtains in every bedroom for a perfect night's sleep after a busy day at the beach. All bedrooms have 55" smart ROKU TVs where guests can log into their favorite streaming service using their own login credentials.

Beautiful Property! 5 Stars
We booked this rental for a last-minute weekend away with friends and were not disappointed. Absolutely beautiful home with everything we could have needed. Great location, just a short walk to the seawall and many restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Exactly as Advertised
It’s a very well appointed house that was thoughtfully outfitted with everything you’d need. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The owners text and respond quickly. I have nothing bad to say about the experience. I only have a couple of suggestions: please consider slow closing toilet seats. There were a couple of loud bangs in the night. Lastly, it would be great if you had a step stool for young kids to reach your tall sinks in the bathroom.

Amazing vacation home!
We stayed 4 nights…it was the nicest vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. Everything is brand new, top of the line. Beautiful beach decor, comfortable beds, great location, nice little street…it was perfect for our family. We come to Galveston every year, and I will definitely want to stay at Sapphire Shells next year! Thank you so much for having us.
