Special Dec 19-22!! OCEAN FRONT! The Enchanted Lighthouse!

Welcome to 'The Enchanted Lighthouse!!

Come enjoy the sun, sand and sea in this OCEAN FRONT home in Bermuda Beach on Galveston Island! Just walk outside and you’re standing on the beach! All you can hear is the sound of the waves crashing into the shore!

If you want to check in the same day you book your reservation, Vrbo requires us to approve this beforehand so please notify us and we will be happy to do so!

We are located only minutes from the Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Water Park, Galveston State Park, the movie theater, the miniature golf course, the Airplane Museum and even NASA and the Kemah Boardwalk are close enough if you’d like to spend a day there! Marketing.Galveston.com shows a calendar of events.

We are on the west side of the island and only minutes from the Strand and Stewart Beach.

This home is located in Bermuda Beach. Jamaica Beach is just a few minutes' drive west and has a fairly new neighborhood pool. If you'd like to use their pool, last year the entry fee was $5 per person. They tell us they open the pool for the Spring/Summer season when the weather warms up.

This home comfortably sleeps 14. Arrangements include one bedroom with a king bed and full bed and one bedroom with a full over full bunk bed (sleeps 4) and a queen size bed. The living room also includes a sleeper sofa that opens up into a queen size bed and a daybed with a pop up trundle that makes into a king size bed.

There are two bathrooms upstairs and an outdoor shower under the house.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans and cooking utensils. It has a stove with an oven, dishwasher, microwave and all the comforts of home! Central A/C and ceiling fans throughout. The living room has a large flat screen TV and a DVD player. There is also a TV and DVD player in each bedroom.

Our home has a wraparound porch. It is partially covered and partially sunny in the front and completely covered on the sides and back. We also have a wood deck underneath the house with an additional tiled sitting area.

Our home is named from the 'lighthouse' that peeks up from the center of the home. If you turn the kitchen light on after dark, it looks like a lighthouse from the outside!

Linens provided but please bring your own beach towels.

Wifi and cable service can be unreliable in Galveston. We are sorry that we will be unable to guarantee that these amenities will be working during your stay and are unable to offer refunds for disruption of these services.

It was a really cute house with tons of personal touches. Had a small hiccup checking in but owner/manager was great! Only issue we had was no large garbage bags for kitchen so had to use a bunch of small grocery bags. Would highly recommend 😊

Sisters getaway
Great ocean views, perfect for watching the sun rise. House is showing its age and the effects of the weather. Public beach parking is directly in front of rental. Even in off-season, we were woken up in the middle of the night by loud music and car engines revving. May not be a great place for small children due to this.

Anniversary Trip
The house was exactly as described. Steps away from the beach. Beautiful view. The plus for us it was dog friendly and the only way on and off the upper deck is through the door, so no worries about my dog sneaking off the deck. Had a great time!

Perfect stay right off the beach
Property was clean and nothing misleading, i only have a few complaints and they arent a big deal at all. All 3 of the trash cans were full already, The dryer took multiple runs to dry clothes, and the fridge took a long time to cool down, the two bedrooms got pretty warm compared to the living room but aside from that it slept 6 of us plus 2 kids very comfortably and being able to just walk out to the beach was extremely convenient. Would stay again.

great house on the beach
I very seldom do reviews, but this place is worth a word. Perfect trip. This house is right on the beach and close to all the restaurants and shops in Galveston. It's not a five star hotel, but that is not what we wanted. We wanted an affordable house in the beach and this is it. There is a "beach access" public area nearby but we liked that for people watching. Most of the beach in this area is restricted from cars so staying in a house on the beach was very convenient. Beach was never crowded. Beds were comfortable, we all slept well. We liked to watch the olympics and TV was a little limited but if you have a streaming device the internet connectivity was very strong. Owners were very responsive. We had a question so we sent an email and they called us back in about a minute. They were very friendly and responsive. So, if you have a concern, don't hesitate to contact them. Our son recently moved to Galveston. This will be our "go to" place when we go to see him. I don't have anything to say but "Good!". Thanks for making this place available.

My husband and I spent a great long weekend at this property. Small hiccup upon arrival as we hadn’t received the email with instruction but the owner was easily reachable and provided the information immediately. Power went out while there but it was island wide and again the owner was great about communicating with us. Location is great and the home had everything we needed. Overall a great get away!

Stormy Stay
We stayed during tropical storm Alberto, and the tide got up to the house. When we could move our cars there wasn't much of a place to go. We ended up parking a street back. The driveway was pretty rough when we arrived but after the storm it is unusable. The house is great, right on the beach. We will stay again.

Wonderful Mothers Day wknd with family.
The beach house was so charming and very clean. Super easy checking into the hm. Loved the beachy decore inside and out. Plenty of room and those big chairs on the porch gave us hours of relax time with family just listening to the waves and watching the different birds flying up and down the beach. There was even a wild rabbit that hung out below. Despite being a beach drivable access we didnt experience alot of traffic or noise outside of kids playing. There was a bit of seaweed and debris washed up and some mosquitos but to be expected on Galveston. Met super friendly people and even enjoyed watching as they fi🐟ed and play soccer on the beach which is just skip to get down to. Overall a great stay. Shout out to our host John for the much appreciated efforts and multiple texting in locating a special mom blanket we had left behind. Many thanks. The Sparks Family
