This Gulf-front vacation rental offers you the chance to experience the Texas coast while staying in the lap of luxury. Slip away from the hustle and bustle while you explore the shores of Galveston. This beach community sits close to town, only a block from the Seawall. Just seven miles from the historic Galveston Pleasure Pier and five blocks from eateries, this rental puts you right in the heart of the action on the island. The warm sands of the Texas coast beckon you to come and play. Rent a jet ski, or book a spot on a local fishing tour to delve into the Gulf Coast and quench your thirst for excitement. Schlitterbahn Water Park has everything you need to give your younger vacationers a unique and fun experience while staying safe in the water.

Boasting plenty of modern amenities, you may never want to leave! Freshly repainted in 2023, the decor lets beachside ambience flow through the home, bringing the shore to you. Kick the sand off your feet as you make your way up to the stilted entrance of your home away from home. An open and spacious layout allows all your guests to spread out in the sprawling interior. The bright, airy living area has vaulted ceilings, towering picture windows, and an unobstructed view of gently crashing waves. Plenty of seating makes it easy to enjoy a family movie night on the HDTV. Whether you're watching a DVD or staying up to date on your favorite show via cable, there's plenty of room to curl up and enjoy.

Take advantage of the fast WiFi by looking up a recipe to try in the contemporary kitchen. With ample counter space and bar seating, your culinary assistants can sip a glass of wine while they help you create your delicious dish. An additional cabinet-top ice maker can make up to 25 pounds of ice a day! Stepping out of the living room and onto the expansive deck, you'll be greeted by all-encompassing water views that span the Galveston coast. Grill up a tasty BBQ dish on your stainless steel gas grill as you watch the stars come out over the Gulf Coast.

When you're ready to retire, the main bedroom boasts access to the lower deck and tons of storage space.

Beachfront Getaway

The property is in the perfect location on the beach. Massive porch overlooking the Gulf of America with tons of seating and shade. The kitchen is brand new with brand new high end appliances. We had 4 adults and 4 children and had plenty of space. There are smart TVs in 5 different rooms to watch after a long day on the beach.

We loved it!

The location and beach access were exactly what we were looking for! The house itself was in great shape, we were impressed with the updated appliances in the kitchen. We had everything we needed to allow us to relax and enjoy our vacation!

Fun stay

Our family enjoyed the closeness to the beach and the open area outside to enjoy our time together. The kitchen was fully stocked and was great for cooking for my family. Inside the home there was not enough seating for us all to be together at the end of the day in the living room. The rocking chair in the living room was broken and we could not figure out how to turn the tv on in the living room. The room with the bunk beds had no clothes storage for the individuals that stayed in there, having them to keep all items in their suitcases. Would have been nice if there was a broom to sweep. We brought everything else with us minus that.

A bit of a let down

It is on the beach and great location. Cleanliness was not a problem inside the house. Trash cans were completely full when we got there so it was a struggle for any trash we had, breaker kept tripping so TV and some lights did not work (they did bring an extension cord after 2 days), there are absolutely no chairs or anything other beach, dryer did not work at all we finally found 1 setting it would work on but not equipped to dry clothes, outdoor shower was disconnected, constantly people blocking driveway to walk to the beach, 1 bathroom tub was stained from leaking water and that had no bath plug.

Father’s Day Stay

The location was wonderful. Really enjoyed the beach. The house needs a lot of work. One of the bathrooms had a bad leak and the barbecue should be taken off the amenities list because it was fallen apart.

Great location and view from the patio.

The house is in a great location but could use some maintenance and updates. We enjoyed our stay but it would have been nice to have had a grill to use. I would recommend bringing some off and mosquito spray for the yard for your stay.

Location worth the price

I cannot emphasize how perfect the location is. If you have children, I would recommend this property. People cannot drive or park on the section of beach in front of property. The access to the beach is at bottom of back deck stairs. Clear view of beach from back deck. There are a few things that are dated but I would definitely stay here again.

Mini vacation with our dogs

The house was beautiful. It was very roomy, a/c worked great! The view from the balcony was my favorite. I loved just sitting in the cool lounge chair, drnking champagne and watching the waves on the beach. The dogs wnjoyed the beach as well.

Bad start to a vacation

No AC, no internet, doors rusted in lock position. "Comparable" offers to move were not even close in size, not beachfront, and as much as 17 miles away. No follow up on when things would be fixed. Terrible experience. wasted two days trying to get a solution. Finally, a local agent stepped in and found something that was close to what we had contracted for.

Location of property is ideal! Practically a private beach. Nice large windows looking out on the Gulf. Huge deck! Property is in need of some maintenance and tlc, but served it’s purpose as a hard to beat beach rental location.
