About this property

Water to the back, a first class golf course to the front, and a whole slew of activities for the entire family... this retreat offers something for everyone, and more!

Wake up each morning and take in 18 holes, or head to the back for fishing/kayaking with the kids. When you're ready to hit the beach or explore the town, the best attractions are mere minutes away.

The house is newly built, with 3000 sq ft of living space plus over 800 sq ft of balcony/deck around the house to take in the fresh air. Enjoy the view of the beautiful golf course in the front deck, or the million dollar view of Galveston and Sydnor Bayou to the back. Around the holidays, you can witness the night sky light up with spectacular fireworks from Moody Gardens and beyond!

The main floor has an open space concept from front to back, with a master bedroom/private bathroom and a second bedroom and shared bathroom. A crib and high chair are also available for infants and toddlers. The bottom floor has a large shaded concrete pad for picnics and getting some outdoor time.

The top floor has one bedroom/bathroom as well as a large open area. With two bunk beds, a trundle, and two sofa/full beds in the game room, this floor is the ultimate sleepover party for kids.

* we are required by the local government to collect hotel and occupancy tax for all reservations. This 15% will be paid to the State of Texas and the City of Galveston.

Great place to hang out with family.

Spacious, laid out well, close to many things. Plenty of room and having 3 full bathrooms was great. The only drawback for me was the stairs but that’s because my knees are so bad. Pretty much all of the rentals have stairs. Would definitely stay again.

A wonderful home to stay.

A lovely home, near all the action on Galveston Island. The fishing dock in the backyard was a big hit with the kids. Caught crokers and Blue crabs. The upstairs is a great retreat for the kids, a large bedroom that sleeps 5, bathroom. and a great room with a TV, Foosball table and 2 large couches. Would recommend
