Our family really enjoyed our stay at the well-stocked Bare Feet Retreat with the amazing deck, views, nice furniture, and comfy beds. It’s probably one of the nicest places we’ve found waterfront in the Galveston area. We especially liked being centered in the private beach area, which was really quiet during our Oct. stay. If we could change one thing, we’d widen the lengthy beach access path so we don’t brush against the plants as we walk down with gear.

Stay at Barefeet Retreat in Galveston in late September, 2025We had a delightful 3 night, 4 day stay at Vrbo’s “Barefeet Retreat" in Galveston in late September. The 4 bedroom, 3 bath beach front house was very comfortable, very well appointed and had all the features that made a great stay for us. The house is laid out perfectly for an enjoyable visit with a large, open living room/kitchen area and we loved the fabulous Guif views through large water facing windows. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed and the handiness of the power lift was greatly appreciated versus lugging luggage up and down the stairs! We were all of 50 yards and two minute walks from the water - it’s a non vehicle stretch of beach which made it great for leisurely walks and just gazing at and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. Our small Yorkshire Terrier loved walking on the beach with us. We’d love to return and bring our family and/or friends on our next trip. DAC/MLC

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Maupin

Host profile image
We live in East Texas and visit the beach often. In 2018, we had an opportunity come up to invest in Bare Feet Retreat (named by my college best friend and biggest life cheer leader) as place not only to make memories within our family but to share with others. We truly look forward to coming for quiet weekends, great grilling, and tons of sandcastle building.

Why they chose this property

Bare Feet Retreat is designed to not feel like a beach rental but truly like home. High end building materials with a touch of softness for comfort. Neutral calming colors throughout. We own both the lots so the view is guaranteed and can provide ample parking. Eastern facing balcony for exceptions sunrise experiences and evening shade.

What makes this property unique

Arched window across the back for ocean view from every spot. Open kitchen, dining and living area to accommodate a large group or family. Large upper deck and lower deck for outdoor entertainment and full outdoor shower. Cargo elevator for easy arrival and departure. Great for the big grocery runs! Free grocery delivery thru Shipt.
