The place is like new. New appliances. Has lots of space. The property is 20 or so minutes from Galveston but the drive is easy. Less traffic and the beach is right across the street. Great stay and great price and the communication with the property mgr was great! Highly recommend!

Family vacation

This house was clean and large enough to sleep my family of seven. We enjoyed having an outdoor shower (even with hot water) and a washer and dryer available to keep up with all of the dirty clothes and towels. The water pressure was good. The mattresses were comfortable. It would have been nice to have a toaster or toaster oven for use but we just skipped the toast in the morning. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will book here again. Easy reservation process and quick response to questions.

About the host

Hosted by Bungalow Beach LLC

Host profile image

We’re a local family and the proud owners of Bungalow Beach. Galveston has been our full-time home for years, and we live just a few minutes from the property. Hospitality has always been a big part of our lives—we spent nearly a decade running Galveston’s largest RV resort right here on the Island before recently selling it.

Creating welcoming, comfortable spaces for guests is something we genuinely love. We’re hands-on hosts who take pride in maintaining every bungalow to the highest standards. Whether it’s your first visit to Galveston or one of many, we’re here to make sure your stay is relaxing, memorable, and hassle-free.

We can’t wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

Far enough from the Central Business District to avoid the crowds but close enough to take advantage of all that Galveston has to offer for a fun filled vacation. Beach access is directly across from the property, next best thing to being on the beachfront at a fraction of the cost. Multiple beach access points in this area and a limited number of adjacent homes this portion of the beachfront typically has a reduced amount of traffic.
