Huge Deck, Walk to Beach, Great Primary Suite, Ping Pong, Bikes, Beach Equipment
Welcome to Emerald Escape, a beachside gem nestled in the heart of Pirates Beach! Kick off your flip-flops and let the fun times roll. This little slice of beach heaven is perfect for forgetting all your worries and diving into vacation mode.
Let’s start with all the great stuff you’ll find without even stepping inside. The ground level’s got you covered with private parking for 4 cars, a shaded patio for lazy evenings, an outdoor shower to keep the beach where it belongs (not in your bed!), and a charcoal grill that’s begging for a seafood barbecue. And oh, the garage? It's basically your personal rec room with a ping pong table, all the beach gear you could dream of, and bikes for when you feel like exploring.
More treasure is just around the corner! Head on up to the main level for a bright & airy living room with a wall of windows, comfy couches & side chairs centered around a flat panel TV, and gorgeous wood ceilings. The nearby kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and great storage space includes a breakfast bar seating 3 —perfect for casual meals or chatting about the day's adventures. The adjacent dining table easily seats 6, making it easy to gather everyone together for meals.
On the main level, you'll also find two inviting bedrooms, each painted in soothing ocean hues and thoughtfully appointed to ensure a restful night's sleep. One bedroom offers a queen bed with direct deck access, perfect for enjoying that first cup of coffee outdoors. The other room is a versatile space featuring a queen bed plus a twin bunk, ideal for families or friends sharing stories into the night. The real retreat, though? That’s upstairs in the primary suite. Think king bed, your own TV, access to a private deck with a porch swing, and an en suite bath where you can wash off the salt and sand in style in the tiled shower.
Whether you're here to bask in the sun, explore the coast on bike, or simply enjoy the peace and comfort of a beachside home, Emerald Escape promises a vacation filled with laughter, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. Pack your bags and prepare for a getaway where the beach is your backyard, and every moment is a treasure waiting to be discovered.

The property was beautiful, clean and exceeded our expectations. Everything was well thought out from the toys and wagon in the garage to the well-stocked kitchen appliances and utensils. I would recommend it without hesitation, and I would definitely stay there again.

The Grand Escape
The Grand escape was a wonderful time! Great location and a very short walk to the beach. Had wonderful amenities especially the beach chairs, umbrella and beach toys for the family with bikes and ping pong table for family fun.
We really loved our time here. The porch is fantastic. It's nicely decorated. It was great for one couple with no kids and one couple with little kids, which was the makeup of our group. The kitchen is well stocked and there were tons of beach toys and a great wagon to use. Thanks for a great stay!
This is a super cute house and it fit our needs well. It’s pretty close to the beach, but we rented a golf cart anyway because we have three young children and they all love golf cart rides.

Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy to have been able to share the house with you and your family. It is a short walk to the beach but those golf carts sure are fun.
First time renters, Our experience was so wonderful that Galveston has become our primary getaway.
With so much happening in 2022, your property gave us the jump start and renewal we needed so much. Much Peace, Family Unity and Love drove back to Houston (Happy New Year 2023).

The house was perfect and we hope to be back. Lots of kitchen amenities. Close to the beach and pizza/seafood stores. Great upper balcony for evening drinks and stargazing.

Wow!! Thanks so much for that wonderful review. We are so happy that you loved your stay so much and we look forward to you coming back.
My family and I rented this house for the week. The house is beautifully decorated and roomy enough for the seven of us. The kitchen is very well stocked which was great since we cooked most of the days. It was nice that they had a wagon, beach chairs, bikes, etc! The walk to the beach was short and love the character of the neighborhood! We would definitely come back again!

We are so happy you made wonderful memories at the beach house. We look forward to having you back soon.
We had a great time and were very comfortable in this house. The beds are comfortable too. The only complaint is that the white Great Dane next door barks really loud and the owners don't do anything about it. Memories were made 💗

Thank you so much for the review. Your feedback is very important to us. I will find out if it is a prominent resident or a renter that was at the house next door. This was the 1st I had ever heard of it. We do hope to have you back in the future.

The most amazing time
This house was everything we expected. Plenty ok kids sand toys the wagon the kids had a blast at the beach the house like 5 houses down from the beach which made it great for the kids. We will definitely be booking again have already started discussing a trip in September. Security was great also so him making several rounds during the day.
Thank you Kathy for such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the Galveston Beach. The place was top notch and had everything you needed. Great amenities, beautiful decoration, lots of room to hang out. The kitchen had everything you could think of . The house is very clean , very comfy beds and very organize. The best thing was having extra beach chairs. , bicycles, and ping pong table that was available to use . Kathy was great to work with and I would definitely recommend this lovely place to stay at. A fun summer get away
