About this property

Literally on beach, unobstructed ocean view

The Pearl Wave is literally on the beach with easy access to beach and panoramic unobstructed ocean view! It is the first house from the beach in a quiet residential neighborhood, nothing but beach 270 degrees around our place. The beach access point is only steps away, and the beach access is car free, not a busy car loading/unloading zone. Romantic walks on the beach are right out the door, or run the kids ragged on the beach all day then sit around the great room on the comfortable couch, or relax at the end of a 'beachy' day in your Jacuzzi tub!! Our beach is safer for kids due to no cars allowed on the beach in front of our house all year around!! Large deck on the ground floor and on the main level with plenty of seating and an additional top-floor deck are the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view and listen to the peaceful sound of the waves. House has plenty of windows with unobstructed ocean views.

With ~ 1900 sqft, the house has an open living/dining area, 3 good-sized bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 1 outdoor hot water shower, sleeping 13 comfortably. Both floors have a high ceiling which is a rare find for beach houses and will give you the breezy feel even inside. The whole first floor has hardwood flooring, the second floor master bedroom has luxury vinyl plank flooring (installed Oct 2021), with hardwood staircase connecting the two floors. No carpet in house!

The master suite on the top floor has its own deck boasting the highest ocean views in the neighborhood. The master suite has a king-sized bed and a twin bed. The master bathroom has a double vanity, walk-in shower, and a jet tub with ocean view.

The downstairs main floor has two spacious bedrooms that are separated by a full bathroom. The living/dining area has an open floor plan with direct ocean views from all nine windows. Kitchen is spacious, with plenty of counter space and a window of direct ocean view. Kitchen connects to the full-size laundry room with a washer and a dryer. The living area opens to a large wood deck with a direct and unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The wood deck is 2/3 covered so that you can enjoy the outdoor breeze and ocean view within the shade for as long as you'd like!

The ground floor has a spacious covered wood deck with a picnic table and an outdoor hot/cold shower shed which also stores beach chairs, toys, canopy, and a Weber 22-inch master-touch charcoal grill for guests to use (bring your own charcoal). The ground floor has easy access to a car-free walking path to the beach; in fact, the beach access is just outside the driveway! The walking path is sandy and does not require you to navigate through grasses. Just come down from the house anytime and you will be right on the beach -- no more hassles of finding beach parking or dragging your beach gears over a long walk!

We provide almost everything you would need to feel like home! All beddings are provided for the beds that you would need -- sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and comforters/quilts -- all beddings are washed between guests. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap, and toilet paper are stocked in the two bathrooms. Four Smart TVs in the house, with Netflix, PrimeVideo, and SlingTV for live streaming of sports and shows. Family-size refrigerator and electric range with convection oven. Two coffee makers, one traditional and one Keurig. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutting boards, non-stick pans of different sizes, baking pans, pyrex baking dishes, cooking utensils, plenty of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, and napkins.

House has exterior cameras on the ground floor for security monitoring. No cameras inside the house.

The subdivision Spanish Grant is within 7 miles to all major attractions and in Galveston.

Great view, great property, perfect location
We had a fantastic stay! Absolutely gorgeous location and so clean and nice inside! My husband and I came down for Mardi Gras with 3 other adults and - I'm not going to lie - we were a little concerned at the outside. It is a little weathered and things "look" worn out - but the longer we stayed, the more we realized why. We've stayed in a lot of beach houses on Galveston and the sea spray and wind at this location are ample! This house is constantly getting a dose of the elements, so of course the outside is weathered with the continual salt exposure. Some things outside were a little rusty and swollen. Some of the doors did stick and needed a little help opening/closing. BUT the inside is updated, very pretty, very clean, and comfortable. The upstairs bed was comfortable, the top dock was nice, very stable, and had an amazing view. We had a great time and really enjoyed the immediate beach access. The location is perfect - not too close to the noise of the city, but a short drive to food and entertainment. The address took us right to the property and the instructions from the owner were perfect - no issues accessing the property. If we were to complain about anything, it would be the toilet paper. We bought our own after the first night - the tp provided was the worst possible and should definitely be reconsidered. Other than that non-issue, we would definitely rebook and stay for even longer!

Pictures are deceiving
The interior was ok, beds were great The exterior is in bad need of repair. rotting wood on home and deck very prominent. windows single pane so wind, mosture and if it had been summer, heat would have been unbearable. other homes in neighborhood were well kept, this was not. also i had a fall. We arrived around 6 so sun had gone down. there was a swing on the porch you have to walk by. problem was with poor lighting, you could not see the chain bolting the swing to the deck. my foot caught the chain, i fell. injured my knee, my pinky broken, and wrist hurt. we left a day early so i could get home. The beach was amazing, the views from deck amazing. yard area needs cleaned up, stickers all in yard as well. interior was clean. if they dont put some money into the exterior the house is going to rot down. counters, ceiling fans, wall texture, windows all out dated. There was an extreme sewer smell but we opened the doors in the house(2) and smell diminished. Doors didnt close properly and front door was designed to open in, they have it opening out and it is in rotted wood.
