About this property

Few Steps from beach, fabulous view from ginormous gated deck!

We believe the best vacation is one that takes you away from home but has the feeling of home! The coast beach of Bermuda is just a short walk from the back of house (120ft) no vehicle traffic to disturb your peaceful day on the beach and no fighting the crowds for a spot for your umbrella.
The Bermuda Bungalow is fully equipped, adorably decorated, beach view vacation home, that sleeps 8 comfortably.
The master bedroom has French doors out to the patio, as does the living room with two French doors onto the patio. In addition, the living room offers cable TV, and Xfinity Gateway wi-fi.
Bermuda Bungalow comes with dishwasher, pots, pans, dishes, grill, linens, towels, and two covered entertainment areas.
The main floor has a 600sq. ft covered deck with a gate, making this a great place to entertain or hang out in the heat of the day or cool nights. It is fully equipped with lounge chairs, tables and chairs. This deck is so comfortable you may want to just sleep outside! The downstairs has a covered entertaining area with 2 swings, table and BBQ grill.
We have storage for golf clubs, water toys, and a laundry room with full size washer & dryer, along with a cute 1/2 bath. The outside shower is the best, enclosed with both warm & cold water.
A very comfortable and affordable beach house for a weekend, week or a month!

Nice space

The house is nice. It was a little musty smelling but that's to be expected that close to the water. The cooking supplies need to be updated but what was there was sufficient. The owner was amazing and very easy to deal with. She allowed us to check in early since it was Lone Star Rally weekend and the island was very busy!

Relaxing

The house was a good size for me my husband and 2 little dogs. The location was good on Burmuda Beach. I loved the view and just a few steps from the beach. If you stay take off the mosquitoes were bad downstairs. They didn't bug us on the balcony.

Great beach house

We absolutely loved our stay. The kids loved the yard and how close we were to the ocean. My wife and I spent every evening on the deck relaxing to the sound of the waves. The host is very attentive and obviously takes pride in this awesome house. Highly recommend and hope to get to stay there again.

What a fabulous vacation property! (I loved it so much I kind of want to keep this one a secret!) The kitchen was well-equipped. The deck was wonderful - I spent hours relaxing on the lounge chair and enjoying the view. Very close to the beach and easy to get to the beach. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.

Great place!

I stayed here with my kids (11-16) and it was perfect! Beautiful view of the ocean from the porch. It was great not having to fight cars for a spot on the beach. We walked back for lunch and left our stuff on the beach. Very clean, easy check in and out. Would highly recommend! Loved the outdoor shower to clean off coming back as well.

Great deck

We lounged on the deck the entire time between walks on the beach. Plenty of shade and cool breezes. Beach access is just down the street. Lots of birds species to watch on the second row. This is an older property and established subdivision and it was quiet and peaceful, great for a less expensive and quick getaway.

Would do it again!

The location of this house is absolutely wonderful. Jeannette was clear in her directions to the house and how to access it. The home was ready before the check in time, though we arrived later in the evening. It was clean and well-stocked with linens and kitchen supplies. We loved having an outdoor shower and downstairs bathroom and laundry. The beach was beautiful and clean and quiet. Only the local residents. Cars were not allowed directly on the beach, though there was a sandy alleyway for some residents to use. But we felt that we had the beach to ourselves, even on a holiday weekend. Plenty to do nearby and we weren’t far from things. We had an amazing weekend and would definitely rent this location again!

Superb!!

We LOVED our stay here. I highly recommend it. This was our third time to Galveston and it was the best place we've stayed at by far. I LOVED being able to hear the ocean waves, the floor to ceiling windows and doors so you could see and hear the waves. Such a short walk to the beach! No having to stay in a tiny condo and walk across the often busy Seawall Blvd. The home is very well stocked and so much streaming available on the TV. The host was very responsive. And, I truly appreciated the ice maker! Mine broke a while back so I'm very much over using trays and purchasing ice. I've stayed at VRBOs that didn't have an ice maker so this one meant everything to me. Very clean home, smelled amazing, has everything. Book it!!

Fabulous Porch!

My husband and I, with our girlie Yorkie, enjoyed a wonderful week at the beautiful Bermuda Bungalow! It was clean and very inviting and the location is perfect, just outside of the fun seawall activities. The porch was amazing, so roomy and relaxing hearing the waves from the gulf. Our Yorkie loved the porch too and she enjoyed sight seeing from the porch. We love vacationing on Galveston island. The Bermuda Bungalow is most difinitely the best vacation home we have visited on the island!

Wonderful Getaway

Perfect set up for my wife and I. Wonderful covered deck with an ocean view. I enjoy a sunny beach day just like any other landlubber on vacation but watching the thunderstorms over the ocean from the deck was excellent. Great kitchen for dining in. Would recommend. Shopping is close but not too close if you know what I mean. Comfy, cozy and felt safe. Cost less than a hotel room. Thank you!

Wonderful location!

I love the location, just a quick walk to the beach. Deck was nice to hang out on. Kids loved going to the beach at night to hunt ghost crabs. Great little place for a quick getaway. Beds were comfortable. Four out of 5 stars because we were not informed the washer/ dryer was not working (we packed with the knowledge that we would be able to do laundry. And we had five boys under the age of 12… Laundry needed to be done)! Closest laundromat was about 20 minutes away, and it wasn’t the nicest spot in town 😬. I was told the washer/ dryer would be replaced the day we check out. 😕 Also, a grill was listed as an amenity to the house, but the grill that was there was in awful condition…. Rusty and literally falling apart. It was another thing we planned to use while we were there with a handful of kids. Other than that, I’m glad we stayed here. Oh! And mosquitoes were so bad, so pack your bug spray!!

Felt a little misled...

First off, the proximity to the beach was phenomenal, it was about a 5 minute walk, even with toddlers. The beach and privacy were amazing as well. But upon 1st arrival, we found and killed a few spiders, as well as a roach. But also, the listing mentions 2 bathrooms, but the "2nd bathroom" is downstairs in what looks like a shed, totally separate from the rest of the house. Not to mention it's not really a bathroom, but moreso a storage shed with a toilet in it. After seeing the bugs in the main living area, no one felt comfortable using this restroom as it was downstairs, and had a lot of older dusty items next to it, which could've easily been home to other bugs. The house itself smelled clean, and the surfaces didn't have any visible grime, but there were pieces of the ceiling missing where it looks like plywood was screwed in. Overall, the kids loved it, and the trip wasn't bad, but the listing didn't quite live up to the original listing, we probably wouldn't stay there again.

Good place, needs some upgrades!!

This place was good, but definitely could use some upgrades/maintenance!! The house was fairly clean, but the master bedroom sheets had a stain on them, so we had to sleep on the top sheet. A few of the towels had stains on them also. The master bedroom stayed very warm at all times, even with the ac turned down!! The ceiling fan was loud in the master bedroom also. I don’t think it was installed properly!! There are hardly no accessible outlets in the bedrooms for charges etc. And only a couple of them worked properly. I tried a few of them and the cords just fell out. Those need to be redone and upgraded!! The outside chair cushions were covered pretty good with dog hair!! The couch inside had dog hair on it also. I know this place is listed as pet friendly, but I think it could have been cleaned a lot better!! The downstairs toilet/laundry area smells of mold and mildew very badly!! I couldn’t hardly go in for the smell!! The outside of the dryer is very rusty and I was afraid to wash/dry our clothes in them!! The neighborhood is quiet and nice for the most part. Several of the surrounding houses were being worked on and that was pretty distracting hearing the saws and hammering during the day. But we enjoyed the neighborhood in the evenings during walks at sunset. I probably wouldn’t stay here again for the price, but we did have a good, safe stay and enjoyed the short walk to the beach!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeannette Harris

After graduating from Ohio State University my husband and I headed to Houston to start our careers and family. Waiting for interviews, we stayed in a tent on the beach in Galveston for a week and loved it! We wanted our four boys to experience beach life, having fun in the sun and exploring the ocean. They fished, swam, kayaked, built sandcastles, found many different shells, shark teeth, and other treasures, played volleyball, kick ball, soccer on the beach.... Now in their 30s they enjoy the restaurants, local bars while still playing soccer, fishing, sunbathing on the beach with their young ones! Wishing your family the same wonderful memories!

Why they chose this property

Bermuda bungalow is located a few houses from the end of the street. It is a quiet neighborhood, a great place to let children have their fun running around or biking in the street. We have a large yard with GRASS! Which makes it fun to play in after being on the sand all day...

Our house is located a few houses from the end of the street. It is a quiet neighborhood, a great place to let children have their fun running around or biking in the street. We have a large yard with GRASS! Which makes it fun to play in after being on the sand all day...

One of the unique benefits of Bermuda Bungalow is the large, covered porch. During the extremely hot days the porch stays cool and has a nice breeze. It has a wonderful view of the beach and a great place to just relax, have coffee in the morning, tea and a good book in the afternoon and cocktail in the evening.
The outdoor shower totally enclosed all sides and offers both hot and cold water. A wonderful way to wash off the sand, take a nice shower while enjoying the outdoor feeling!
