This two-story home is a great fit for families, couples, and relaxed beach weekends, with the beach just a short drive or golf cart ride away.
The main level makes the home especially comfortable and convenient, with the primary living areas, two king bedrooms, and a full bathroom all downstairs.

The kitchen includes a new induction stove, new refrigerator, toaster, and coffee maker, making it easy to handle anything from quick beach snacks to a full family meal.
Upstairs, you’ll find a playful additional sleeping space with a queen-over-queen bunk, a daybed, and a full bathroom with a standing shower.

One of the best parts of The Salty Whale is the outdoor space. With three decks, an outdoor shower, and parking for up to 4 vehicles, the home is set up for easy coastal living. Rinse off after the beach, relax outside in the salty air, or enjoy a quiet morning coffee before heading out for the day.
Inside, the home has a cheerful modern coastal style with a whole mural that adds a fun and memorable touch. It feels relaxed, bright, and welcoming — the kind of place where you can kick off your flip-flops, settle in, and enjoy island time.
Whether you’re planning a family beach trip, a couples’ getaway, or a weekend escape in Pirates Beach, The Salty Whale is a comfortable and charming home base for your Galveston stay.
