Trish’s Stor Mara is more than a beach house, it’s a place with a story. Stor Mara means “Sea Treasure” in Irish. Trish was our mom, originally from Dublin, and although she lived all over the world, Galveston was her happy place. When our family bought this home, she always imagined it as a space to welcome guests; she truly loved hosting. After she passed in 2023, we decided to honor her by creating a warm, family-friendly guest space and naming it after her.
Today, Trish’s Stor Mara is a cozy Galveston home with a comfortable one-level layout and a big fenced backyard for outdoor time. You’re just one block from the beach (about a 2-minute walk), so beach days are always close, and you’ve got plenty of room to relax when you’re back at the house.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Quick 2-minute walk to the beach (1 block)
• Spacious backyard for kids and pets
• Beach necessities provided (boogie boards, chairs, sand toys)
• Grill + picnic table for outdoor meals
• Central location for easy travel to nearby attractions
