About this property

Cozy Seaside Retreat, Hot Tub, Oceanview, 3 Decks, Short Walk to Secluded Beach

Welcome to my beautifully designed beach house on a secluded beach in Galveston, near Jamaica Beach! Karankawa beach is considered a hidden gem and is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation with family and friends. The Honey Hole is stylishly decorated with warm coastal colors so you can truly decompress and create great memories. Enjoy the three spacious decks and relax in the hot tub after a day at the beach. BBQ the catch of the day while sipping cocktails as the sun goes down.

Enjoy the most sought-after location at my 2 bedroom/3 bath retreat designed with warm coastal colors, allowing you to enjoy your space when not on the beach soaking up the sun. Your weekend oasis is located on the Gulf of Mexico side of the island and just steps away from the beach. Whether you like to fish, workout or just relax you can enjoy the views of both the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay. The beachside location is away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to Galveston’s best restaurants, cafes and shopping. Enjoy the three decks including a hot tub! The house is ready for your stay with clean sheets, towels and toiletries.

The master suite has a king bed capable of sleeping 2 and the sea-worthy guest room sleeps 3 hosting a queen bed and twin bed with both bedrooms leading to the hot tub on the second floor balcony. The living room has a sleeper sofa for the little ones to fall asleep with watching the 65 inch smart LG tv. The outdoor space includes 3 private balconies with Gulf of Mexico views and a breezy bottom floor outfitted with a porch swing.

If you like anything from a charming farmhouse, beloved Cape Cod, light-filled retreat, island living or just a simple escape you have found the right place.

Upon request, I will consider allowing a pet with a non-refundable pet deposit.

Great location

The location was great. The house was nice. Early check in and late checkout was no problem. The property is in need of some attention. Although it is very nicely decorated we had some issues with the air conditioning cooling the bedrooms . The door to our balcony from our bedroom would not open. The Tv in the Master bedroom did not work and there was no TV in the alternate bedroom. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great place and Location

I recently stayed at this beautiful Galveston property and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The house is spacious, well-appointed, and the hot tub was a fantastic touch. The location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, but still just a quick drive to everything we wanted to do. The beach was only a short walk away, which was a huge plus for us. The house itself was immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked with all the necessary appliances and cookware, and the living areas were cozy and inviting. The owner was also fantastic - responsive and easy to communicate with. They provided clear instructions on how to access the property and were available to answer any questions we had during our stay. Overall, I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in Galveston.

Relaxing

Located several miles from town, this is a quiet and relaxing place to decompress. We stayed during the week and it was exactly what we were looking for. The beach is very close and easy to walk to from the condo. The condo is comfortable and well decorated. The hot tub was a much needed addition and was one of the original reasons for us looking at this specific home. We would absolutely stay here again! Most restaurants and other organizations won’t deliver to this condo which was perfect for us as we didn’t mind picking up food. This vacation was one of the best vacations we have ever taken and we were able to do this safely during these crazy times. Mary is a wonderful person and her home is beautiful!

Ultimate Honey-Hole Experience

The property is extremely well maintained. The owner, Mary, communicates exceptionally well. My wife & I arrived a couple of hours early and Mary had already made arrangements for us to be able to get settled. The hot tub on the 1st deck, makes for great sunset gazing while drinking an ice cold beverage. The rooms were clean, the king size bed in the master is very comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials. The neighborhood is quite and secluded, with easy access to the beach. FYI...save your money on the golf cart rental, you can't use it on this area of the beach, and you are truly only a few minute walk from the front door to sand and sun. My wife & I have already decided this will be our stay destination next year. Thank you Mary for the amazing anniversary vacation my wife & I just had celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary! Other than the week I want, everyone should be trying to book this place...lol.
