9,000 SQUARE FOOT CLUBHOUSE

The Club House also features a fully equipped spa, a family game room, a complete fitness center, bars, and both casual and formal dining options. Depending on residents preference and mood, this facility serves as recreation center, gathering place, mealtime venue, kid space, grownup getaway, poolside retreat, and gym.

A COUNTRY CLUB ON THE BEACH

Thats how Seahorse development partner and lifetime Houstonian John Howton describes Seahorse.

We designed Seahorse specifically to meet the needs of residents of Houston and south Texas who, in our research, told us they demand several things in owning a beach house retreat. They want a spacious and luxurious family home; an easy-drive location to an uncrowded destination; the services and amenities of a top-notch resort or fine hotel; genuine real-estate value; and most important, fully managed and hassle-free ownership, whether theyre in residence or not. And thats Seahorse in a nutshell.

To help realize his vision, Howton teamed up with Arizona-based Star Resort Group, as well as award-winning California-based interior and architectural design firm Architectural Concepts, and Houston’s own award-winning residential Design firm Kent & Kent Building Design.

Also a development partner in Seahorse is Star Resorts, the celebrated developer, marketer, and seller of luxury vacation real estate. Comments Star Resorts’ CEO Carl Berry, Seahorse is a distinguished new addition to Star Resorts portfolio of private residence clubs and whole-ownership resort real estate projects throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Stars expertise in resort development, combined with John Howtons in-depth knowledge of the Houston and south Texas markets, have made Seahorse a winning project from its conception.

Developer Howton adds, Weve created luxuriously livable homes where design is in the details. And despite the sense of luxury, these are comfortable and casual places where families and friends come to relax, and where informal elegance is the watchword. Its the Gulf Coast I knew growing up, and always cherished.

SALES OFFICE AND DIRECTIONS
