About this property

Galveston Gem: Two Homes, Pool & More Amenities

Let the good times roll at Galveston Beach Lodge! This mini-compound has space for 16 people spread out over two homes— the main house in front and the guest suite in the back. This bright and vibrant coastal home is seconds away from the dining and excitement of the Seawall while providing plenty of privacy and peace for your whole crew. In between trips to the beach, take a dip in the pool, relax on the back patio with a cool drink, and grill some dinner on the outdoor barbeque.

The main house is a charming ranch style dwelling, welcoming you with a bright turquoise door and trim. Inside, the spacious living area flows seamlessly from the front door to the back, perfect for socializing and connecting with your group.

The open kitchen awaits you at the end of the living area, featuring crisp white cabinets and stainless steel appliances with pops of color on the pantry door and dishware. This well-equipped kitchen is sure to be the heart of your gathering, ideal for preparing everything from morning coffee to refreshing afternoon drinks. A convenient laundry room is located nearby.

For a restful retreat, the master bedroom offers a luxurious king-size bed and a private ensuite bathroom. Another bedroom boasts two comfortable queen-size beds and a built-in full-over-full bunk bed, perfect for families. Walking past the kitchen, you`ll find two bedrooms. The bedroom on the right has a King bed with a TV, and the bedroom on the left has a queen bed as well as the washing machine and dryer.

Stepping outside, you`ll find a great sized pool and wraparound deck, perfect for your family and friends. Behind the pool is a spacious guest house with a charming kitchenette and bar seating across the cobblestone patio. The living area is infused with cheerfulness thanks to a colorful shiplap accent wall, and is equipped with a comfortable pull-out sofa and a flat-screen TV. Behind the living area lies a queen-size bedroom and a full bathroom with a step-in shower. A wooden patio between the main house and guest house offers a perfect spot for sunbathing, grilling, and enjoying meals together.

Galveston Beach Lodge`s unique layout, with two connected homes on one level, is ideal for large groups and families with diverse needs, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for in-laws, grandparents, or older children. Additionally, its prime location, steps away from the Seawall, allows for easy access to restaurants, the beach, and other attractions.

A very comfortable and well-appointed location for our family trip. The group included children 4 and up, their parents and aunt and their grandparents. The layout worked well for all of us. The decor was bright and fresh. The kitchen had every pot, pan, and small appliance needed. Highly recommend!

House worked for a day stay. The bathrooms are a bit weird as they are inside the rooms so it can get tricky if you have a big party. House has plenty of cooking items…strange they had coffee but no sugar but it was no biggie. Overall was a great stay and close to the port which is what we needed.

Very disappointed that the pool was not usable-half empty obviously out of order. The pool was one of the reasons we chose this property over other locations. Children & adults were disappointed. We should have been notified of pool status before arrival. Feel we should be offered at least a partial refund - perhaps 200.00 at least.

House was located on a neighborhood block that had vacant/run down homes all around. House was infested with cockroaches and ants. Pool had leak and would t hold water. Back bedroom had a leaking air conditioner that leaked all over one of the beds - it was unusable.

My husband and I and our friends enjoyed staying at this property. It’s lovely, clean, spacious and has everything you need. It has a pool with a nice deck, close to seawall, shopping and restaurants. Any questions I had were answered promptly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Galveston!

Great location and proximity to the beach. More than enough beds. Bathroom situation is a little odd. There is no common access point to a bathroom we had to walk through each other’s personal spaces to access bathrooms. Having a private pool is a huge plus. All maintenance team members that visited to check on the pool were very friendly and nice.

Moody Gardens Event

Stayed at this property as it was 1 mile from a triathlon event at Moody Gardens. Location worked out great.While it sleeps 16, the bathroom set-up is odd in that you must go into 1 of the 2 main bedrooms in the house for access. Bungalow house is a great set-up with own bathroom and kitchenette.
