Great family vacation spot.

Previously rented, excellent location and view. Lovely new deck furniture. Interior furniture is comfortable

It was close to the beach. The beach at Spanish Grant was not crowded. We had stayed there last year, and we loved it. We will be back next year.

We’ve stayed at Aside the Sea several times: its short walk to the water, great gulf views, and proximity to the G’town attractions are great!

Very good ocean view and beach access.

Property was clean and comfortable. It is older and needs some repairs but was fine for a vacation rental. Location to beach was fabulous. Sand n Sea staff was responsive.

We LOVE Aside the Sea for its location: just steps to the beach and a beautiful view from the porch. There's ample parking, and a nice area under the house with a picnic table, and lots of room for fishing equipment. The beach at Spanish Grant is great too. We like the layout of the home, with 3 real bedrooms, and a back entrance and stairs. Everything in the kitchen works properly, and it's well stocked with equipment for those who like to cook. The living area is comfortable and pleasant. Both bathrooms are nicely set up. Good TV and wifi. As older people, we like it that the house is relatively low to the ground so we don't have to navigate a very high stairway. Our only issue is that the beds in the master and second bedroom ARE very high. Also, while the king in the master bedroom is quite comfortable, the queen in the second bedroom was not. (It's a perennial problem for us, since we rent with another couple, that there is always one "much better" bedroom.) But overall we think Aside the Sea is a wonderful rental. Love the pet friendliness too.

Very close to the beach, just the right size for my family, and nice front porch sitting area.

We've rented from Sand n Sea several times and I'm convinced they have the highest property and service standards in the hospitality business! We'll be back!

- Thomas T , Posted: 05/24/2019

Beautiful ocean view. Easy walk to the beach. All facilities and appliances in excellent working order.

Great pet friendly property! Close to the beach and fun to stay in!

Aside the Sea is amazing. We’d love to buy it. Sand n Sea is the best rental agency ever.

- Frances H , Posted: 06/05/2018

Nicely furnished and excellent view of beach.

This house is incredible. We love it and are already planning a return.

Aside the Sea
We only stayed for three nights but it was fantastic! The house is so cute and really has everything you could ask for. We didn't want to leave. We are so happy to have found this house. We will be back. Melissa and everyone at Sand n Sea were great!

The location is excellent. Sitting on the deck is like being down on the beach.

- Melodye P , Posted: 07/13/2017

King size bed and Jacuzzi tub was great for my husband's back. Beach access was perfect.

- Sandra B , Posted: 06/20/2017

The beach home was clean and comfortable great view of the surf and easy access, brought back a lot of memories, i spent alot of time at this beach home in the 70s with the original owners i did not know that at the time i rented it.

- Tom D , Posted: 05/30/2017

Wonderful house, has everything you need for a great vacation.

- Judith D from La Porte Texas, Posted: 08/16/2016

Very welcoming and pet friendly! Close to the brach too

- Anonymous , Posted: 07/19/2016

Perfect for our family, which included our pets. Steps from the beach and all the comforts of home!

- D. H from Wichita, KS, Posted: 05/28/2016

I've been renting a beach house from Sand N Sea for the last 5 years, and because the staff is so friendly and professional, I don't consider using anyone else.

- Anonymous from Houston, Posted: 11/11/2015

Dog friendly, great view, nice amenities. QUIET!area.

- Anonymous Y from Houston, TX, Posted: 10/14/2015

This is an awesome house. You are so close to the beach despite what the listing for this house might say. It was a 90 second walk from the stairs to the water. The master bedroom and second bedroom are extremely comfortable for adults while the bunk room is ideal for kids. The living area was very open and great for hanging out, as was the porch. We definitely plan on staying at Aside the Sea again!

- Anonymous G from Austin, TX, Posted: 09/01/2015

It's a wonderful property, we have rented there 5 time and again next year. Sand N Seais a great company. they do all that they can to help people have a wonderful vacation. The Dyer's from La Porte Texas..

Aside the Sea may be listed as 3rd house from beach front but the location makes you feel as if you are beach front. Very easy access to the beach. The ground floor is gorgeous, very nice lawn & the area under the house is immaculate & can easily park 3 cars under the house for shade. Interior is in very good condition, beds are comfortable as are the couch & chairs. Love the open floor plan! Easy to entertain! Deck while uncovered did have shade in the mornings & late afternoon/evenings because of the trees that surround the house. The laundry room is awesome!! I wish my laundry room was this big. And the tub in the master bath was huge! What a relaxing way to end the day! Will definitely stay here again!

- Anonymous D from Houston, TX, Posted: 07/28/2015

This house was so roomy for 6 ladies. Kitchen had everything we needed. Balcony view of beach was awesome (although umbrella for table would have been nice). Overall a great stay!

- Becky L from Spring, TX, Posted: 05/04/2015

A cute three bedroom house that met our expectations in every way. Clean, well furnished, right on the beach. Exactly what we were looking for.

- Anonymous A , Posted: 12/01/2014

This was the 4th time I've rented Aside the Sea, we love it there. It's like coming home. This house has everything we need for a perfect vacation. Thanks The Dyer Family....

- Judith D from La Porte, Texas, Posted: 08/26/2014

We have stayed in many different Pet friendly beach houses over the years & this is by far our favorite place! We can't wait to go back next year!

- Anonymous K from Coppell, Texas, Posted: 08/19/2014

Aside the Sea is practically beach front. I think it is literally 30 feet from the driveway to the sand. The beds are great, the tables (inside and out) are perfect for our large family to gather around for meals, and all the appliances are relatively new and in good working order. The downstairs shower is awesome and the deck upstairs has a great view. We've stayed here twice and likely will be back.

- Anonymous B from Houston, TX, Posted: 08/15/2014

Our stay at Aside the Sea was wonderful as always! I have seen the seaweed higher many years ago, but what can anyone do about Mother Nature!?! We love the house and the area!

- Anonymous A from Clear Lake City, Posted: 05/13/2014

Love this house pet friendly and close to beach

- Janis W from Houston, Texas, Posted: 05/06/2014

We loved our stay at Aside the Sea, it was our second year there and we have already reserve it again for next year...Thank You - Judith and George Dyer

- Anonymous D from La Porte, Texas, Posted: 09/13/2013

This is technically a third row home, but it didn't feel that way. We had a great view and the walk to the sand took less than a minute. We have stayed in many beach homes over the last 15 years, and we would definitely return to this one in the future.

- Anonymous M from Tomball, TX, Posted: 08/04/2013

We came up for a week with our kids and grandkids. Being close to the Houston area helped in that our kids could come for the day or could spend a night, whichever worked with their schedules. It was a very pleasant & relaxing experience.

- Anonymous L from Baytown, TX, Posted: 07/20/2013

Very clean and in a nice location. Close enough to Galveston making daily trips easy. The Sand N' Sea staff is friendly, professional, and accommodating. We would stay here again.

- Anonymous T from Sugar Land, TX, Posted: 06/25/2013

Would love to stay there again. Clean, nice, close to the beach. Quiet subdivison.

- George and Judith D , Posted: 09/12/2012

This is a lovely property with a view of the beach & a short walk. The interior is excellent & I would certainly recommend it be considered for a rental.

- Patrick P from Kerrville, Tx, Posted: 09/05/2012

Good for family with teen-agers, easy beach access, great for small pets like miniature dachshund

- Anonymous K from Spring, TX, Posted: 08/28/2012

This was a very nice home and good beach access. Pet friendly yes. Neighbors not so much.

- Anonymous T , Posted: 06/13/2012

- Anonymous C from Plano Tx, Posted: 02/24/2012

We loved Aside the Sea. It has great access to the beach and the area was very quiet and clean. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

- Anonymous T from Bastrop Texas, Posted: 10/14/2011

The view from Aside the Sea is AWESOME. The home is maintained beautifully and has an easy layout. The short walk to the shoreline is great for early morning walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

- Anonymous T from Seabrook, TX, Posted: 09/29/2011

A great house in a great location. Exceeded all of our expectations. Will definately be back.

- Anonymous M from Waxahachie, TX, Posted: 09/06/2011

Our family has rented different beach houses for many years in Galveston, Bolivar and then the last 2 years at Surfside after Ike, since the grandkids were 2 and are now 15. This past week has been one of the best. Loved the house,view was great, comfortable, beachy feeling and great weather. Can't say enough about everything.

- Anonymous B from Houston, Tx., Posted: 07/19/2011

The neighbors were very friendly and the house was in an excellent location and it had that at home atmosphere. We were all very comfortable there, will definitely stay there again if available!
