Serenity on the Bay -Views/Boat Slip! Kayaks/Pets

Serenity awaits you at this fabulously renovated, oasis on the bay. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath masterpiece is adorned with all new stainless steel appliances, Viking stove, marble counters, modern bathroom and kitchen finishes, plush furnishings, and much much more.

You will enjoy spectacular views from sun up to sundown on the large two-story deck. Whether sipping coffee, or cocktails, boat watching, grilling out, fishing off the deck, bird watching, or lounging on the deck, this home has something for everyone. The large, fully fenced-in yard is great for young children and pets. There is a boat slip with a lift system available if you would like to bring your boat. It offers very easy access to the main bay. We also have 2 kayaks available for canal cruising.

The inside of the home is breathtakingly beautiful. The master bedroom features a roomy king-size bed with an ensuite that houses a cozy queen-size pull-out couch. The second bedroom features a comfy queen-size bed for two. The third bedroom offers a queen bed that sleeps 2. There is also a built-in loft/daybed in the family room for additional sleeping space for 1. The home is perfect for two families, one family, and in-laws, or a girl's getaway.

The home is a short distance from the vehicle-accessible beach, where you can enjoy a day of fun in the sun! When you return there is an outdoor shower to rinse off. The Jamaica Beach neighborhood also offers a community swimming pool. For a small fee on-site, you can enjoy the freshwater while taking in the sun. You can also rent kayaks, paddleboards, and golf carts to enjoy during your stay. There is a boat slip available for your own boat as well.

The City of Galveston is full of wonderful attractions as well. Take a day trip to nearby Schlitterbahn waterpark, Moody Gardens, The Strand, or The Pleasure Pier. The duck boat tours, bicycle rentals, and a visit to Murdock's are all crowd-pleasers.

We know your family will enjoy this magical escape.. This home offers everything you need for an amazing getaway where your family will make lasting memories.

We feel so at home here. Our dog hates when we leave. Such a special home with tons of family memories. Can’t wait to get back and relax on the best deck out there. I love reconnecting with my family there. Nothing beats it. Amazing space. Thanks for your hospitality.

We have stayed at Serenity by the Bay a number of times now, and are never disappointed. The home is beautifully decorated with amazing views and is well equipped with anything you could possibly need for your stay. The owners have thought of everything. They are very quick to respond if you have any questions, and are more than willing to take care of any additional needs you might have. I highly recommend staying here! You will not be disappointed!

We loved it! We’ve never stayed Bayside and they were so many fun things to do. The house was lovely, beautifully decorated and very clean. I will definitely come back again.

10/10

This is our second stay in this home and we love it! The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. There is an upper and lower deck that faces the water and it is so relaxing. We had a good time using the kayaks. The beach is a very short drive and the outdoor shower was nice afterwards. The area is beautiful and very safe. We will be back!
