About this property

Beachfront | Hot Tub | Dog-Friendly | Sleeps 12

Step into a colorful Galveston beachfront escape where Gulf views fill the windows and the sand is just beyond your private walkover. A Salty Sandpiper is a first-row beach house on Karankawa Beach designed for relaxed family vacations, group getaways, and dog-friendly coastal stays.

Spend mornings walking along the shoreline, afternoons lounging on the Gulf-facing balcony, and evenings soaking in the private hot tub or gathering around the fire pit. With four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, comfortable accommodations for 12 guests, and thoughtfully stocked indoor and outdoor spaces, this home makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the beach.

Guests consistently praise the breathtaking views, peaceful location, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, beach equipment, and spacious gathering areas. Many describe it as their favorite Galveston rental, a 10 out of 10, and even better than the photos.
