Admire jaw-dropping Gulf views at this amazing beachfront home, watch sunrises over the pond to the east, and sunsets over your neighbors to the west. You’ll love the large balcony off the Great Room, perfect for entertaining or simply dining alfresco while enjoying fresh breezes.

Inside, you’ll find an open floor plan with Gulf views throughout. Warm wood floors and sparkling granite counters create an upscale setting for family and friends. Vaulted ceilings soar in the Gulf-view Great Room, with large picture windows for lovely natural light. Whip up delicious dishes in the sparkling full kitchen, configured with stainless steel appliances and lots of handy extras. Five plush bedrooms plus a roomy loft provide ample space to relax and restore. One of the bedrooms boasts an en suite bath and shares a second beachfront balcony with another bedroom.

Head down below to host an afternoon cookout, with a gas grill and picnic space beneath the home. An outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off after mornings on the sand! As an additional perk, enjoy the fastest internet speed with 1000M+ bps, excellent for remote work from the beach.

Nearby, your beachfront location is worlds away from your day-to-day, while still being within walking distance of local eateries. Make the five-minute drive into town for even more options. This ideal spot is also perfect for everything from beach parties to fishing, or even kayaking or catching crabs on the pond!

Great but 1 thing
Awesome location. Great house for fam to enjoy vacay at beach. Direct beach access. No vehicle traffic allowed on beach made for a nice environment. Only caveat is downstairs bathroom tile is very slippery when wet. I would think owner may want change this for liability purposes.

Enjoyed and wanted to stay longer
Loved the views and open floor mat and bedroom layout. Had some real squeaky beds and a bad moldy smell and bedrooms were tight because of bulky furniture. But we did love the balconies and all the seating and parking availability. Having the private beach was so nice but watch out for all the jelly fish!

Best beach trip ever!
Property was amazing with so much room, clean and comfortable. Steps away from the waves and beach was quiet and private. Location was still close to shops and attractions. We had a great family get together!

This house was really great. Closest to town regarding beachfront homes in Galveston. We had 11 people and everyone was comfortable. First rental home we have ever stayed in that the AC worked properly. We will rent again.

Great beach house
This house is great for a family vacation. We had 6 adults. Everyone got there one room and it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Fantastic decks. Great for enjoying the ocean breezes and the local birds. The private beach was wonderful. Just a few steps from the back of the house. Lots of supplies and well cleaned.

Great for a large group.
The location was nice. Right on the beach and just outside of the hustle and bustle but not too far out that Uber would still pick us up. Plenty of room in the house for everyone to spread out.

Great Location, well stocked and Responsiveness to issues
The location could not be better and accommodations were lovely. We had an issue with water heater and microwave on Christmas Eve. However, there was a service team at the property within an hour or so of my phone call with a new microwave and a solution to the water heater. surprisingly excellent service. We would stay again.

Great ocean front home for a family with pets!
This house is bright and airy with wonderful ocean views from inside the home, as well as from both decks. There was more than enough room for our family of 11 and our two dogs. Not everything in the house is new or in perfect condition, but it was clean and functional. The beach is away from the crowds but not far from anything we wanted to see or do. We all enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again!

Clean and great views
We had 12 people stay in this fantastic beach house. We had plenty of room and none of us wanted to leave. The only thing was not having enough hot water for showers for all of us. Other than that we would LOVE to stay again and again and again.

Great location. Needs updating.
The location was great for beach access but there was sticker patches to walkthrough to get to the beach. 10-15 minutes to downtown. We chose this house because of the number of bedrooms and space for our large family and wanted to walk to the beach with our kids. Pictures make it look more updated than it is. We enjoyed our stay but would look to stay somewhere else next time.

Great for large families!
There were 8 adults and 2 children (7 and 5) in our group and this house was a great fit. The entrance to the beach was safe and easy with multiple options to shower off before entering the house. Lots of stairs but we appreciated the exercise and large landings on each set. The kitchen was a bit small but we made it work for the short time we were there. Regardless, we will be back!

Great stay
This was a great house with all the rooms and restrooms for a large family. Our family was able to spread out and we all enjoyed our stay. It sure made my 60th birthday a blast! All appliances worked except microwave over stove! Our bed was very firm but we did sleep ok. The elevator was not available- that would have been a great plus if it was. There are many many steps in this house.
