Casa de Mar | Steps from the Shore & Ocean Views

Escape to Casa de Mar, a vibrant and family-friendly beachside retreat nestled in the coveted Pirates Beach subdivision of Galveston, TX. This charming 4-bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath home is just steps from the shoreline and offers some of the island’s most breathtaking ocean views from its two expansive decks.

Let the sea breeze welcome you each morning as you sip coffee on the partially covered lower deck, or gather the whole family for al fresco dining with the sound of crashing waves in the background. After a day on the sand, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower, fire up the charcoal grill, and unwind with the salty air all around.

Inside, the home boasts warm southwestern charm, with a cozy living room adorned with an ornamental fireplace and colorful talavera-style kitchen accents. The open layout makes it easy to connect and create memories, whether you're sharing a meal under the shell-covered chandelier or enjoying complimentary board games and puzzles with the kids.

The main level features a bright and airy primary suite with a queen bed, cable TV, private deck access, and an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious dual-headed shower and art deco windows that paint rainbows on the walls. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for the whole family—two with balcony access for those who can’t get enough of those ocean views.

Located just a one-minute walk to the beach and a short drive to Galveston’s top attractions—like Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, and the Historic Strand District—Casa de Mar offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Book your stay at Casa de Mar today and treat your family to coastal comfort, captivating views, and the unforgettable charm of Galveston Island.

Best of Pirates Beach

I have rented numerous homes in Pirates Beach neighborhood over the years. Several beach fronts. This was the most nicely furnished and most well maintained of all. Thoroughly enjoyed this property and hope it is available for my next visit to Galveston.

We enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend stay at this house! Just the right size for 2 families. House is nicely appointed and well taken care of.

2022 Family Relaxation Vacation

We were very impressed with the property. It was just like the pictures on feature VRBO. The house was very lovely; it was all that we expected and more. We enjoyed our stay so much, that we have decided it will be our go to vacation home for Galveston, Texas. Hearing the sound of the ocean at night and watching the sunset was breathe taking.

Perfect space/Great location

This is our second visit to Casa De Mar. We love the house. It has everything we need, plenty of space and you can't beat the location. We are seconds away from the beach. I am able to head up from the beach to prepare meals and see the kids playing on the beach from the house. We definitely will be back.

Amazing house!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! It was so clean and exactly like the pictures. The neighborhood was clean, quiet and so inviting. Our girls 15 and 12 got up every morning and walked the beach for shells and swam all day. The location couldn’t be any more perfect. Checking in and out was super easy! We will definitely be back!!

Casa De Mar

We travel alot and VRBO 90% of the time and this was in the top 5 vacation rentals we have stayed in. Clean, accessible, and very quiet. easy access to the beach was welcomed by my elderly parents. Most of the rentals do have a small collection of simple board games for kids and adults, scrabble, monopoly, trivia. etc. This home did not, adding this simple feature would be an easy addition to a great rental.

Great House!

Location is fantastic. In a beautiful neighborhood, literal steps to the beach. Very clean, etc. Everything in working order. We had booked five nights, but unfortunately, a tropical storm came in and we were only able to stay two nights. It was unfortunate because we could not get our money back. They only issue refunds if the island is under mandatory evacuation, which it was not. This area is lower lying so it’s at an increased risk for flooding and we did not feel safe staying and getting stuck. You could not go outside without sand blasting you in the face. It was unsafe to be outdoors so we felt we had no other choice to leave. Other than that, I was very happy with the property itself and the communication with the property managers. That does make a big difference with vacation rentals!

Perfect for our annual group get away

We are a group of 6 women in our 70's who get away, mostly to Galveston, every year. We have stayed at many places and this house was at the top of our favorites. As advertised, the views from every room are stunning, there are multiple decks, and because of the way the house is situated, we could always find a comfortable deck to be with shade and shelter from the wind. The house is beautifully decorated and there are ample dishes, cookware, utensils, and serving dishes for a crowd. It was not too much of a problem for us as we are all fairly active for our age, but any one with problems climbing stairs should be aware that all the bedrooms except for the master are on the third floor, which means 4 flights up, and there is only one bathroom for the 4 bedrooms on that floor. We did manage this, and for us all the advantages outweighed this one inconvenience, and we hope to rent Casa del Mar again next year.

Great home, and fantastic rental agency

We've done a few Galveston rentals, including a couple in the Pirates Beach neighborhood. This was, by far, our best - to the point where we will probably lean towards just re-booking this home next time. Great kitchen amenities, great views of the ocean from many of the rooms, clean - just NOTHING to complain about. There was an issue on the first night where the 2nd floor a/c wasn't working. I called Gary Greene agency and someone picked up immediately. They had someone out there within about an hour. It couldn't be fixed that night, so they gave us several options for other homes where we could stay. We chose to stay there (it wasn't that hot this time of year). it took several visits to get the a/c working the next day - but the whole time, GG Agency was communicative, ready to offer up whatever would mitigate the problem - they were AWESOME. And, in the end, they gave me a bit of money off (I didn't even need to ask). They come HIGHLY recommended.
