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.

Quick trip to Surfside
My husband, son, girlfriend and I had a nice stay at Surfside. Great location for us. We visited Space Center Houston, golfed at Wilderness course in Lake Jackson, fished out of Galveston and had a delightful day birding at Brazoria nature refuge.

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.

Made the best of it!
Our stay at the Sea La Vie was great. We booked to stay for five days. Got there Monday June 17th & the next day we were told the beach was closed due to a tropical storm coming in. It was a bit rough due to the wind & water under the house. But the owner Kimber made sure to stay in touch with us throughout the whole time. Absolutely loved that. We were able to go out the last couple of days which was great. The house was clean & very well kept. The location was fantastic. Other than the tropical storm effecting our stay a bit, it was great! We definitely made the best of it. The games & cable definitely helped. Will definitely be staying at the Sea La Vie again.

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 !!

Great place and location
We had a great time! The weather was perfect! The location was perfect! The house was perfect! The hard part was not being able to drink and cook with the tap water but we made it work by filling up water jugs from down the road. It was super cool watching the big cargo ships coming in and out of the jetty. Our grandsons loved watching them. Being able to walk to the jetty for fishing and the newly constructed playground was awesome. Being right on the beach was awesome, too! When the wind wasn’t blowing there were a lot of bugs but luckily the wind was blowing most of the time. I would definitely stay here again!

Beachfront Getaway
The property was better than what we expected. We could literally walk from the staircase straight to the beach and it was a short walk over to the playground, which our 3 year old really enjoyed. It would’ve been nice to have the lift that a lot of the other properties had but we managed. The bathtime for the children was cut short every night due to the yellow water but we were aware of the issue before we arrived and it is of no fault of the owner. Overall, we made a lot of great memories and everyone loved the trip.

Family vacation
This house is absolutely the perfect spot on the beach. it was the perfect size for three sets of family ranging from adult (6 adults) to seven months old (4 kids). The kids absolutely loved the bunkbed. And it created a fun place for them to play and watch TV. The property owners provided tons of games to play, and all TVs were smart TVs. We enjoyed sitting outside on the huge porch and daily walks on the beach. also, the house is super close to the jetty so adults and kids both enjoyed watching the big ships come in and out.

Lack of Indoor Potable Water Damaged Our Enjoyment
The property itself was well maintained, except for outdoor furnishings which were not in good shape physically and visually; a blocked clothes drier vent and a few loose outdoor stairs. The property manager had the vent and stairs fixed in less than 24 hours. The decorations were nautical but not overpowering. Basic supplies were on the premises when we arrived so we didn't have to run out and purchase things like dish soap, sponges,etc. The location couldn't have been better. right on the beach with great views of the Gulf. The beach was lovely and kept clean, just a few steps to the water. The indoor furnishings were well maintained and comfortable. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable ant TVs were great. HOWEVER... the water stinks and I mean it physically smells and could not be used for drinking or cooking. Toilet seat covers had to be kept down and bathroom doors kept closed to reduce the water smell that came into the living areas. All exhaust fans were kept running all day. The condition of the house water was so bad that we had to buy many gallons of spring water to use for cooking, drinking and even tooth brushing. The water condition was never mentioned in the promotional materials before we placed our down payment and our final payment. It was only after the final payment was made and cancelation date past that we were told about the water - when it was too late to make other plans. (Family was coming from FL & NY!)
