About this property

Skin and Bones | New Build, Beachfront!

The home is located in the gated community of The Preserve at Grand Beach Galveston.  Skin and Bones will accommodate up to 10 guests and features two decks for a full view of the East end of Galveston Island.  Guests are a short bike ride away from the historic Strand and all that East Beach has to offer. This beauty has an open floor plan with a large, fenced yard.

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area has great flow where the family may enjoy relaxing, playing games at the large dining table, and meal preparation in this well-appointed modern kitchen.  The fourth bedroom is located on the first level of the home and is two twin bunks (sleeps 4) which has a full bath. The half bath is also located on the first level of the home.  The other three bedrooms are upstairs (2nd floor).  The primary bedroom has a queen bed with an en-suite bath featuring a separate tub and step-in shower and a walk-out deck for morning coffee while guests watch as the ships pull in and out of Galveston harbor.  The second and third bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a jack-and-jill bath.  They are also located on the second floor of the home.  

Come and enjoy something new and different on the East Beach of Galveston.  The Skin and Bones home will delight even the most particular guest!  This home has ample entertainment opportunities, close to the beach, and has gorgeous views.  Events, parties, or guests attending prom are prohibited at this home.

2nd time to stay!
This was our second stay at the property and we loved it as much as the first. Location, access to the beach, and the wonderful house itself make this an ideal Galveston rental!

Only one change/recommendation from the group and that would be to add an access from the property directly to the beach. Our group was 50-80 yo so we drove to the beach

Beautiful house and location…annoying ants and mosquitos!
Beautiful home inside and out and amazing location! Lots of room, perfect fit for our family! Would have enjoyed our stay a lot more without the ants inside the house the entire stay. We called the rental company and they delivered a big bottle of ant spray with no sprayer. I called again and the next day they delivered a can of raid and some bait that takes 48 hrs to 2 weeks to work per google. Everything was left outside the door. The ants started in living room the first night so we couldn’t even enjoy the furniture. They were on the couch. They then made their way to kitchen counters and downstairs bedroom. I feel like you should have come inside to get rid of them. Outside the mosquitos were HORRIBLE. Take tons of off. they are huge. I would recommend something is sprayed or some type of mosquito bait is placed outside by rental company! I would definitely stay here again if they got the ants and mosquitos under control but until then would prob find another home in same area.
