Sea La Vie - Beachfront - Pedestrian Beach

Welcome to SEA LA VIE your beachfront pedestrian only beach property. Life at the beach in your newly and beautifully renovated home is as relaxing as the refreshing sea breeze. Watch the beautiful scenery as the run rises, sets, and accents the clouds with endless colors. Enjoy the sun and a drink of your choice from your spacious two-level beach facing balconies.

As the sun rises make your way down the stairs and right onto the pedestrian only beach where you can enjoy surfing, swimming, sunbathing, sandcastle construction, among a myriad of beach games and activities. Relax, the children can play at ease, as no vehicles are allowed on your beach. If you wish, take a short stroll down the beach to the jetty park where there is fishing, a children's playground, and splash park.

Your spectacular home on Surfside Beach has direct beach access. No one enjoys having to carry and drag through the sand all the beach necessities when spending the day at the beach. It gets better, your home comes fully equipped with beach towels, collapsible chairs, sand toys, a picnic table, and almost any other imaginable need. Enjoy the added amenities which include outdoor hot and cold shower, plenty of entertaining area under the house, BBQ grill, patio furniture and dining space on the upper deck.

Your house is better equipped than any resort with high-speed Wi-Fi, high-definition TVs in every room (including two 65” TVs), cable TV, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and Prime TV. At night, you can enjoy the star sprinkled sky as the children pick their spots on their stair-equipped bunk beds and lay to rest (they will be tired). Stay at SEA LA VIE and experience how life should really happen at the beach.

With all the erosion that has happened over the years, this house is in the PERFECT place at the PERFECT time. Having waves so close to the deck was awesome for those of us that did not want to get sand in our toes. And for the sand lovers, it was 15 seconds to the water. Great time was had!

Lovely Beach Getaway

We had a wonderful stay. We are over-packers and planners but we honestly brought too many things for the fully stocked place! We didn’t need many of the kitchen things we had brought and plenty of towels were available. The availability of water and ice was not an issue for us on the island plus the water issue in the house was not that much of an issue (though we did not drink it). A lovely place for our family vacation and we loved it so much we booked again for next year!

Beautiful beach front home

The home was amazing, beautifully decorated and updated. We did not know it was 4 houses away from watching the giant ships coming in and out, but we all enjoyed that surprise. The owner was great with communication when we had questions.

Great stay at the beach

Perfect location with kids. Absolutely loved being able to see the kids from the deck while they played in the sand. The house was very well equipped and we appreciated being able to wash towels and swimsuits as needed. All communication was very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Getaway!

Perfect weekend getaway! The house is perfect inside and out. Inside, our kids loved the bunks and the kitchen was perfect for cooking and lounging around. Great views and the easiest access to the beach you could ask for. Feels like a private access. We had morning coffee on the patio and then we were able to set up our spot with our beach tents and chairs early in the morning so we had our house and beach front laid out for the whole day. Mom who is a little older was able to watch us from the patio and enjoy the scenery. She loved it. My sister's little boys (5 & 6 yrs) were able to get breaks throughout the day from the beach. We did some surf fishing and we walked right on over to Surfside jetty. We caught trout and whiting! We even had enough room to setup volleyball! It was a great stay and we hope to do it again!

Feedback Surfside Beach

Everything was perfect except the check-in where the lock-box was not at the place indicated. In addition, one of the balcony doors could not be opened and a handyman was needed to fix the problem.

Second stay

Beautiful location on pedestrian beach , very nice accommodation, very responsive property manager , unfortunately no fireworks visible from deck but none were advertised, now to the only real downside …parking …second year in a row stuck in the sand , had to unload , get pulled out and park in the public lot a five minute walk away . Properties next door had equipment there working to remove sand from recent storm …very inconvenient to have to deal with this issue two yrs in a row …last year there was no storm , owners need to invest in fixing this !!

First Time Visit

The property was well decorated and with comfortable furnishings. Spending time on the deck was really nice. This was our first time on the Texas Gulf and if you haven't visited, you should take some time to research. It was cool to watch ships coming into the port, beware the house sways and you can hear all through the night. The owner did not make us aware prior to booking the home that cameras are in use at the property and I believe a renter should have that knowledge prior to booking. Also, if you are not familiar with water in Texas, again research. There are many nice things about this property and depending on what you are looking for the negatives are not an issue.

Didn't want to go home!

Our stay was lovely. The property manager and owners were very responsive to questions and needs. Our kids loved the bunk room (10,11,12) and we loved everything about the house and location. Fully plan on booking next year. Thank you for the memories. My kids didn't want to leave and neither did the parents.

Perfect location! Parking was a challenge because of the sand, but we were able to park on the street. Seems there were AC issues for the upstairs unit but wasn't too bad, just a little warm. The host was very responsive and great to communicate with. Loved our stay, would definitely rent again, and hope to come back.

Perfect location

We loved the location and the house itself. We were there to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday and we all loved it. It was perfect for our family. We had a minor issue with the A/C but we were able to deal with it. Would recommend this place!Do note: the stairs are pretty difficult for older folks

Great location

This home was right on the beach. And was perfect for a family with 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 2-6). The need to bring our own drinking water was communicated early on… and we understood that when we had arrived - there was an obvious odor to the shower and tap water, but it was a minimal inconvenience. Especially since the location was perfect!
