This Gulf-front vacation rental offers you the chance to experience the Texas coast while staying in the lap of luxury. Slip away from the hustle and bustle while you explore the shores of Galveston. This beach community sits close to town, only a block from the Seawall. Just seven miles from the historic Galveston Pleasure Pier and five blocks from eateries, this rental puts you right in the heart of the action on the island. The warm sands of the Texas coast beckon you to come and play. Rent a jet ski, or book a spot on a local fishing tour to delve into the Gulf Coast and quench your thirst for excitement. Schlitterbahn Water Park has everything you need to give your younger vacationers a unique and fun experience while staying safe in the water.

Boasting plenty of modern amenities, you may never want to leave! Freshly repainted in 2023, the decor lets beachside ambience flow through the home, bringing the shore to you. Kick the sand off your feet as you make your way up to the stilted entrance of your home away from home. An open and spacious layout allows all your guests to spread out in the sprawling interior. The bright, airy living area has vaulted ceilings, towering picture windows, and an unobstructed view of gently crashing waves. Plenty of seating makes it easy to enjoy a family movie night on the HDTV. Whether you're watching a DVD or staying up to date on your favorite show via cable, there's plenty of room to curl up and enjoy.

Take advantage of the fast WiFi by looking up a recipe to try in the contemporary kitchen. With ample counter space and bar seating, your culinary assistants can sip a glass of wine while they help you create your delicious dish. An additional cabinet-top ice maker can make up to 25 pounds of ice a day! Stepping out of the living room and onto the expansive deck, you'll be greeted by all-encompassing water views that span the Galveston coast. Grill up a tasty BBQ dish on your stainless steel gas grill as you watch the stars come out over the Gulf Coast.

When you're ready to retire, the main bedroom boasts access to the lower deck and tons of storage space.

THINGS TO KNOW
This home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a friendly reminder rather than risking a noise complaint from a neighbor. This technology is privacy-compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Father’s Day Stay

The location was wonderful. Really enjoyed the beach. The house needs a lot of work. One of the bathrooms had a bad leak and the barbecue should be taken off the amenities list because it was fallen apart.

Great location and view from the patio.

The house is in a great location but could use some maintenance and updates. We enjoyed our stay but it would have been nice to have had a grill to use. I would recommend bringing some off and mosquito spray for the yard for your stay.

Bad start to a vacation

No AC, no internet, doors rusted in lock position. "Comparable" offers to move were not even close in size, not beachfront, and as much as 17 miles away. No follow up on when things would be fixed. Terrible experience. wasted two days trying to get a solution. Finally, a local agent stepped in and found something that was close to what we had contracted for.

Location worth the price

I cannot emphasize how perfect the location is. If you have children, I would recommend this property. People cannot drive or park on the section of beach in front of property. The access to the beach is at bottom of back deck stairs. Clear view of beach from back deck. There are a few things that are dated but I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing beach access and views!

House is conveniently located past sea wall but still close to town. The upper deck and parking is great for multi family or friends. Inside is nice and roomy. Kitchen and baths are very utilitarian and can use updates.

Mini vacation with our dogs

The house was beautiful. It was very roomy, a/c worked great! The view from the balcony was my favorite. I loved just sitting in the cool lounge chair, drnking champagne and watching the waves on the beach. The dogs wnjoyed the beach as well.

Location of property is ideal! Practically a private beach. Nice large windows looking out on the Gulf. Huge deck! Property is in need of some maintenance and tlc, but served it’s purpose as a hard to beat beach rental location.

Beautiful view from a tired house

The view and being on the beach was great. The deck was nice. And it’s close to town. The house on the inside needs lots and lots of TLC, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. We cooked so looked through the kitchen really well. There are too many of some things and not enough of others. Not one pot holder in the house so glad there were extra bathroom towels to get food out of the oven! The kitchen chairs are a mess; dirty and upholstery peeling off. I suggest reading all reviews before you book. The comments I’m writing here have been said many times before so wondering if freshening up will ever happen to this place.

Great Views, Great Location, Tired Home!

We were only here for a short stay and the location and views were exactly what we were looking, stunning. The property though is sadly in need of some repair, there is clearly a lot off untreated water damage along the south facing side of the house (sea side)m bathroom fittings a little old and not well kept, plug sockets not connect properly and just a general feeling of not being looked after

Location is amazing

The location of this property is amazing! Be prepared that the house is much older and only has the very basics. It was very clean, but seems it’s only getting the minimum required maintenance. The property company, vacasa, was great and very responsive (dryer stopped working). The small neighborhood is very quiet and friendly and the beach is very quiet at night. It’s all about the location for this place!
