Hello private beachfront paradise! The main level great room is completely open, with a wall of windows facing the sea. Vaulted ceilings add to the modern and airy vibe. Outside through the glass doors, an oceanfront deck beckons you to slip out of your flip flops and relax on one of the comfortable lounge chairs. Listen to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the call of the seagulls as you soak up the sun or sit in the shade with a frosty cocktail.
The stylish kitchen features a huge quartz-topped island— 30 feet long! White cabinets, two dishwashers, and a commercial-grade refrigerator face the ocean views, while additional glass-front cabinets and workspaces are around the corner. There is ample seating between the seats at the island and the nearby dining table. Your whole family will love to gather together in this bright space over warm mugs of coffee in the mornings or cocktails at happy hour. A door off the kitchen leads into a convenient laundry room and pantry.
Down the hallway, a guest bedroom suite has a king-size bed and a full attached bathroom. Two more bedrooms each have king-sized beds. Two flexible bunk rooms have two twin-over-twin-size built-in bunks. Two full bathrooms can be accessed from both hallways.
On the third floor, a guest bedroom has a full-size bed and a cozy reading nook. Across the way, another bedroom has a king-size bed and attached bunk room with two full-size beds and four-twin size beds. This spacious room also has a sun-drenched, private balcony with show-stopping ocean views. The ensuite bathroom has a deep soaking tub and step-in shower.
On the ground floor, a game room and hang-out space has one queen-size and two full-size beds. An outdoor shower is ideal after a sandy day at the shore. The spacious covered patio has a barbeque grill, picnic tables, and a swaying hammock for an afternoon siesta in the shade. To get to the beach, simply walk over your private weathered boardwalk and down into the warm sand and salty surf of the Gulf of Mexico. Westwind is a flawless, private beachfront paradise on the Texas coast.

The house was dirty. Nail sticking up on the stairs. Roaches in the house. Dog pee on the floor. No door on bathroom. It was terrible!!!!! We had reserved the house for two nights but had to leave after the first night.
Loved the closeness to the beach and balcony views. Grandkids enjoyed the many rooms and places to play hide n seek. Nice house with ample dishes and supplies. Would stay here again!

Thanks for your review! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
Plenty of room, plenty of beds for 16 guys. The beach access could not be better. Kitchen was great. The grill should be bigger for a house this big. Fire pit was nice.

That’s what we like to hear Chuck! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to host you again soon.
Beautiful beach views and clean place! The bunk bed configurations were quite nice with easy stairs to come down from the top bunks as we had 23 people. The beach was nice and clean and access to the beach were steps away from the property. The only thing I'd say is wear your shoes on the balcony as there were some nail heads that were sticking out a bit. Otherwise 5/5!

Thanks for the 5-star review! We hope to host you again soon Hans.
Such a welcoming, beautiful, and serene location to share our family memories for my husband’s final resting place at sea with Galveston Burial at Sea. Communication and customer service was superb. Roomy and spacious, everything we needed was provided so minimal shopping. Excellent location, safe and well kept.

Deann - Thank you for your awesome review! We're thrilled to hear that you found our place to be fantastic, with its prime beachfront location and spacious house. We're glad the large kitchen was a highlight for your group. We appreciate your positive feedback and hope to welcome you back for another great experience in the future.
This house was perfect for our extended family vacation! Plenty of sleeping space for everyone to be comfortable including fun bunk rooms for the cousins! The living space was spacious and comfortable as was the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and dishes. The main fridge wasn't working which was a little annoying, but there were multiple fridges in the kitchen area and so there was still plenty of space to keep all of our perishables cold. The view was spectacular! The game room was an extra perk that the teens enjoyed. We loved the direct beach access and enjoyed so much time out on the beach and in the waves. We would definitely be interested in staying here again in the future!

This is the second time we have stayed here. Big enough for our group of 24. And it’s right on the beach. We had a lovely 😊 time. The kitchen is well stocked with big pans and kettles, bowls, plates and silverware.

Love this place! Stellar view and furnishings. Everything was very clean & tidy. Manager was responsive. Big TV for presentation & wifi were great! Would like check in to be earlier. Oven did not work but my personal chef still made an excellent meal. work

This house with great for our 20 people that stayed. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of sleeping options. Any problems that arose the host was quick to attend to. The short walk to the beach was awesome and we could see our kids off the large deck. Very private beach which was also awesome!
