Life's a Beach - Your Gulf Front Escape

Check in for fun in the sun at Life’s a Beach! This beautifully updated 1-bedroom condo in Casa Del Mar is the perfect island retreat for up to four guests. Enjoy an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space fully equipped for your Galveston getaway. Just steps from Babe’s Beach and a short drive to Historic Downtown, you’re perfectly positioned for both relaxation and adventure. Book your stay today and start making coastal memories!

You will need to check-in at the front desk upon your arrival. Their office is open 7 days a week until 10:00 pm. They will register your group, issue pool bands, and provide you with a parking permit. The current rate is $25 per vehicle per 7 days. There is a max of 2 vehicles per reservation per HOA rules. This fee is paid directly to Casa Del Mar for use of their amenities. This fee is subject to change, and we assume no liability.

You will have access to the condo and shared Casa Del Mar amenities.

Step into Life’s a Beach and feel right at home with its bright, coastal-inspired interior. Unwind on the comfy couch and stream your favorite shows on the large Roku TV using the provided WiFi, or sip your coffee on the balcony while taking in the sights and sounds of the beach just across the street. Board games are available for family fun, and the kitchen includes all the essentials, plus a Keurig, for easy meal prep. A cozy bistro table seats two for dining.

When it’s time to rest, the bedroom offers a queen bed, Roku TV, and sound machine. Just outside, you'll find a charming bunk nook with two junior twin beds. The newly renovated bathroom features a tub/shower combo with a beautifully tiled surround. A guest laundry is conveniently located just two doors down.

When you’re not at the beach soaking up the sun, enjoy Casa Del Mar’s two pools (one heated year-round), hot tub, grilling stations, and shaded picnic areas.

All that’s missing is you; book your stay today!
