Welcome to Pickle & Pier, a premier bayside waterfront retreat unlike anything else on your Galveston getaway list. This 5-bed/2.5-bath estate spans four spacious levels and comfortably sleeps up to 22 guests — making it the ultimate destination for large families, multi-generational vacations, milestone celebrations, or epic group getaways with friends. From the private fishing dock and on-property pickleball court to the outdoor kitchen, dedicated poker room, and ground-floor game room loaded with arcade and foosball, this home is purpose-built for the kind of trip everyone talks about for years. Pickle & Pier is the perfect blend of waterfront luxury, group-friendly entertainment, and easy bayside living.

Step inside the main level and you`ll find a bright, open-concept layout where a spacious living room flows seamlessly into a large, fully stocked kitchen and dining area — perfect for big-group breakfasts and family-style dinners. Just off the main living space, a dedicated poker room sets the tone for late-night card games and laid-back competition. Down the hall, a large laundry room and two bedrooms share a full hallway bathroom — the first featuring a queen bed and a full-over-full bunk that easily sleeps six, and the second offering a king bed with deck access and beautiful water views. The third level houses a private king suite with its own en-suite bathroom and direct access to a private deck overlooking the water — the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet sunset. The fourth level is a loft-style retreat with two queen beds, more private deck access, and those same stunning bay views. Down on the ground level, the fifth bedroom doubles as a full-on game room — complete with two full-over-queen bunks, foosball, an arcade machine, and a TV with sofa seating — a kid favorite and a true bonus for groups. A convenient half bathroom (accessible from the back deck) is perfect for rinse-offs after a day on the dock or the pickleball court.

What truly sets Pickle & Pier apart is its unmatched combination of premier waterfront features and on-property entertainment. Cast a line from your private fishing dock, settle in for a competitive pickleball match, fire up the outdoor kitchen on the back deck, or take the fun inside to the poker room or game room — your group has options for days, all without ever leaving the property. When you are ready to explore, you`re a short drive from Galveston`s most popular attractions, including the Galveston Seawall, Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, and the historic Strand District, plus the island`s best beaches, restaurants, and shops. Whether you`re planning a multi-generational reunion, a milestone celebration, or the ultimate friends` weekend, Pickle & Pier delivers a one-of-a-kind Galveston experience you won`t find anywhere else.

The beds in the bottom floor had bugs. I understand because it's a addition and the bathroom isn't closed off. The main floor, the two bedrooms are very warm. We had to get fans and it was still really warm. The rest of the house for very cool. One bedroom didn't have lights. I changed the bulb and still didn't work. We had to move a lamp into the room. We tried to wash and dry clothes. The dryer doesn't dry quickly at all. It's a beautiful home. Great location. Wonderful communication.
