Seahorse Estates
Master Plan
Seahorse Estates is one of the most spectacular Beachfront and Bayfront properties on the Texas Gulf Coast and the most luxurious neighborhood on Follet’s Island, offering iconic accommodations with only two rows of homes: Beachfront homes with panoramic Gulf views and unobstructed bay views, and Bayfront homes (2nd row beach) with panoramic bay views over the Drum Bay Nature Preserve and unobstructed Gulf views. It also happens to sit on the most stable section of Follet’s Island with a beach that is naturally growing rather than eroding as is common along the Gulf Coast. Our developer strategically platted Seahorse Estates with 70’ wide staggered lots over half an acre in size to accommodate large homes while allowing for a minimum of 20’ between homes and maximizing the views afforded by our incredible location between Drum Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
By platting central community recreation areas and reserves for beach walkover access, he also ensured that all residents would enjoy unique beach and bay community amenities they can’t get anywhere else, including convenient access to a pristine family-friendly beach via one of seven beach walkovers and to Drum Bay via the community boardwalk that stops off at a charming crabbing pier before ending at a fishing pier with kayak launch access into Drum Bay. Seahorse Estates has been The Best Kept Secret on the Texas Gulf Coast offering residents better beaches, better views, and better community amenities than most beach communities can offer because of its unique location and the way it was designed.

BEACH AND BAY AMENITIES
Seahorse Estates is one of the only communities on the Gulf Coast that offers homeowners and their guests direct access to both the beach and the bay within the community as well as both beach and bay community amenities. You can start your day watching the sun rise while taking a walk down the beach, launch a kayak for a ride out over the bay, and after dinner enjoy watching the sun set over the bay while the kids catch crabs off the crabbing pier or fish off the fishing pier, all without ever getting into your car. These amenities are great for the whole family. Imagine how many more times your family will want to visit your beach house with so much to do in the neighborhood coupled with the luxurious accommodations that Seahorse Homes will build for you.
There’s nothing more rewarding and tastier than a crab boil of crabs your family spent the afternoon catching themselves right off of Seahorse Estates’ crabbing pier or a fish fry of fresh caught fish that you caught yourself whether right off of Seahorse’s fishing pier, the surf in front of your home, or during a glorious afternoon spent on a kayak fishing right in your own backyard. Drum Bay, part of the Christmas Bay system, is known to hold vast quantities of flounder, trout and redfish yet is difficult for boats to access making it ideal for kayak fishing which at Seahorse will soon become your new favorite hobby.
Pristine Growing Beach
Follet’s Island, renowned for its sugary sand and softly lapping waves, and has been a favored destination for generations. Seahorse Estates sits on the widest and most stable section of Follet’ s Island with beaches that are accreting – meaning that the powdery sand that swimmers, beachcombers, and shell-collectors love so much is naturally growing, rather than eroding.
Seahorse Estates’ naturally growing beaches have built over 250’ of natural dune protection whereas approximately 60% of the beaches on the Texas Gulf Coast are eroding with some beaches losing as much as 15-30ft of beach frontage each year.
The GLO (The General Land Office) is required to use historic erosion rates provided by the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG). The GLO is currently using the 1950s-2019 dataset, in feet, and these erosion rates provide the average rate of erosion per year, based on the timeframe from 1950s – 2019. Your insurance provider will appreciate the fact that our beaches are considered stable, and over the last couple of decades have shown that our shoreline is growing at a healthy rate.
