About this property

Beachfront Bliss: Steps to beach/Views, sleeps 14

It's all about the VIEW!!! This is the place to make lasting memories. Enjoy this oasis by the sea, only steps from the ocean with endless views. This amazing beach house is perfect for groups of 12-14 in Playa San Luis neighborhood.

Take in the sounds of the waves while enjoying a morning cup of coffee or a cold afternoon beverage in the new Adirondack seating area. Relax while walking on the beach, collecting sea shells, building sand castles, and making memories with family and friends. Wade fishing is another favorite for our guests. The ease of being only steps from the beach allows you to have all of the conveniences of being at home while being able to bring food and drinks to the beach with ease. After a day at the beach, there is an outdoor shower to rinse off which is a favorite for visitors.

This serene beachfront home is on a quiet cul de sac and is right next to the beach walkover. It is beautiful year round! The large spacious living area looks out to the beach from all angles and the large deck faces east for the sunrise. The new windows and doors accent the spectacular view. On the deck, we offer outdoor seating areas that include two picnic tables, and six Adirondack loungers. The indoor dining has seating for 8 with 3 bar stools nearby. The home is perfect for gathering family or friends. In the evening the children can retreat to the upstairs media room, while the adults may take in some cards, games, or TV in the main living space. We recently replaced all of the windows and French doors.

The recently renovated master suite has a large king-size bed with its own stairway and private deck! There is a guest bedroom (queen bed), up a separate stairwell. It has a private deck & bathroom. The bedrooms downstairs include: one with a queen size bed and deck access, and two pull-out cots, and the fourth bedroom has 3 sets of bunk beds that sleep 6. The bunk room does not have access to the deck for safety. It adjoins to the other downstairs bedroom with an updated bathroom. The downstairs has also been recently renovated with new floors and windows.

This is the perfect beach house to share with friends and family. The driveway can accommodate up to four vehicles. We look forward to having you as our guests.

Great location & Home for Family

We had 2 families and a total of 6 kids but had plenty of room! The house is very roomy and an awesome location for accessing the beach, especially with little ones! The view from the large patio was beautiful and we absolutely enjoyed our stay!

Mini Family vacation

This Pink house was perfect for myself, my son, his family and my daughter and her family. We wanted a quick private trip to the beach for my son to get engaged and this was perfect. It was in walking distance to the beach and it was never crowded. The house was roomy enough and space for the kids to run. The only suggestion I would say would to be to add a door to the room that has the tub. It’s in just the right distance from the main strip, but you are able to go and see the sights and come back and enjoy the peace of the sound of the ocean on your balcony. We will definitely be coming back.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beach house! In fact, it's our 2nd time renting it. The views are amazing, all the beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed and equipped, and the living room furniture is quite comfortable (not always the case with some rentals). I'd highly recommend this house and owner for your next family Galveston getaway!

The coastal retreat offered a dreamlike escape with its stunning ocean views and direct beach access

The home was beautifully appointed, effortlessly blending comfort with style, and we felt an immediate sense of relaxation upon entering. A spectacular five-star experience that outstripped all our expectations, we eagerly look forward to our next stay at this beachfront paradise.

We had 10 women come for a church Lifegroup getaway. The view was wonderful from all the decks. There were plenty of beds, and the house was perfect for our stay. Thank you for providing such a nice house.

Perfect location

We had a great trip. The views and the deck really made the house. The close access to the beach is perfect. The house was very spacious and had all the basics. There was some mold around various outlets, but overall it was a very clean space and I imagine it’s hard to keep a house this close to the beach dry.

Love this house!

This was the 2nd year our group stayed at this property and we’re already booked to come back again next year. The house has a great supply of kitchen necessities, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and it’s such an easy walk to the beach. We love sitting on the deck in the evenings and enjoying the amazing view! Can’t wait to come back next summer!

Perfect location

This house was located in an ideal neighborhood RIGHT in front of a beautiful view and beach. The house was comfortable. It seems that they are updating it too slowly which will make it even more beautiful!

Frank D., Fort Worth

The property was very nice.

We selected this property over other less expensive properties because of the availability of a community pool for the grandkids. Even though we stayed over the holiday for a week, the pool was never available and there was no evidence anyone was even trying to make it so.

Fabulous location!

The views couldn’t be better! The house was in good, clean condition and nicely remodeled. The pool was closed and algae was growing in it. We stayed busy at the beach. There was standing water in several areas on the pathway to the beach (nothing the owners could do about this) This would have to be addressed by the association.

Location was great, house needs some repairs on a few things, owner replied that she would follow up on repairs. Website pictures need to be updated as there is new house being built next door. For the money I feel it should have been nicer, overall it was a good stay.

Wonderful Beach Views

Our stay at Pointe San Luis was a wonderful time on the beach. The views and location of the house is perfect for relaxing on the beach. When we arrived a storm had broken the TV Dish, so Kathy the owner had it fixed the next day. The house was perfect for our group, plenty of beds, baths and areas to relax. The boardwalk to the beach is right out side the door of the house and apparently had been recently redone. Very convenient!! The cleaning of the house could be better. Some trash was left on deck and broken furniture.. Overall we enjoyed the house and the beach. The pool was closed during our visit. We would definitely stay there again.

Ladies of Class of 1974

We had 10 high school friends who rent a beach house every year to celebrate our long time friendship. The layout of the house was perfect and the back deck was contstantly used to look out to the beach.We had such a great time and we plan on renting this house next year. A couple of the ladies were so impressed they want to rent it for a family vacation. We did run out of toilet paper and there no extra in the house and there was no soap in the showers. We will come better prepared next time. Thanks!

Perfect for large family

House and location were perfect, lots of amenities not found in other beach rentals. House looked well-cleaned and ready for us. However the ladies commented that floors were swept but need a thorough mopping. Kids feet were black from just being in the house. Also beach toys could use a going-through and clean and/or discard/replace some. Please do not take this as a negative review (you have my permission to omit the critical comments if you choose to publicize this review, floor mopping and beach toys condition comments are for Kathy’s eyes only), we loved the property, had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend, and hope to stay here again.

Lovely Beachfront Home

It’s an absolutely beautiful location with lots of windows, decks, and beautiful views. The subdivision and exterior of the home are beautiful. The inside, however, seemed old and tired, especially the kitchen. While new flooring covers the dining, living room, and master suite, There is still nasty carpet on the stairs. The upholstered furniture has been around for awhile. The front door sticks. Despite these negatives, we still loved our week and would be willing to return. For 9 of us, three couples and 3 kids, it worked well and we loved having the walkover just to the left of our driveway. We had a great week with 3 generations!

Needed Vacay

The house was very nice, but needs a few things. Mattresses were horrible in down stairs queen and upstairs queen rooms. Drier sounds like it's about ready to fall apart. Had to contact property manager, the a/c went out on day 3. She did have the repairman come. He did get it fixed, thankfully. Need a few more big pots for cooking. None that are too good. Now that's out of the way, we enjoyed the week. It was much needed. Thanks a lot!
