Located on a quiet, curved lane, Baydream Believer is the peaceful Texas Gulf getaway you’ve been daydreaming about. Enjoy quiet mornings overlooking the bay while you sip your morning coffee. Bring your fishing gear and catch your dinner right from the private boardwalk— then grill it on the barbeque.
When your gang is ready to hit the beach, you’re only a quick drive away from the sugary sands of the Gulf of Mexico. And the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Seawall and historic downtown Galveston are a short hop away. Become a Baydream Believer— and make this stunning waterfront villa your new home-away-from-home on the coast.

Only issue was the strong winds on Sunday and Monday were so strong that the house swayed and moved and the wind caught spots on the exterior that made the loudest whistling and whining noise that it was nearly impossible to sleep at night. Other than that, it was fine.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Alan. We hope to host you again soon.
We loved how quiet and peaceful the house was, not a lot of neighbors and off the beaten path. The pool was a plus for our daughter and pier for fishing was great. Great place!!

It's wonderful to hear that the house had everything you needed and that you enjoyed the stunning sunsets. We can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable visit!
A little disappointed. The 3 main things we were after was a pool (pool was removed), foose ball table, as pictured in Internet (it was not there) and the view, that was a 10. The place was not clean. bugs in the window, dirt and sand on floors, I swept. Please put at least 2 pitchers for tea. All those glasses (good thing) not one single pitcher. Beds were very comfortable and the view is amazing.

We had so much fun! Loved the boardwalk in the neighborhood!
Recently stayed in this charming house and loved that it was in such a quiet area. The place was super peaceful, and the view of the water was beautiful. The area was safe and perfect for relaxing walks. The house was very clean and comfortable. It's a great spot if you're looking for a quiet place with nice views.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
Proximity to beach, nice boardwalk at house, beautiful views from porch and house. Pets were allowed
Traveled with our son’s family including 3 grown grandsons. This house was so perfect - great game room with lots to keep them busy. Everything in the house was exactly what we needed to have a great vacation. Communication with the host was quick and easy. Would highly recommend!
The location in the cove is great, this is the third time we stayed here in the area and enjoyed it everytime. The house has plenty of space for the whole family. Fishing is a bonus with the finger piers. We will defintely be back!

Thanks for the review! :) We're so glad to hear you love the home and enjoyed your stay again. We look forward to having you back again!
The location was quiet with a wonderful breeze and views of water. We loved hanging out on the porch with the breeze. Plenty of sleep space but could have used one more bathroom. Nice open living room & kitchen.
This home provides all the comforts necessary to enjoy all the excitement and rejuvenation of beach life in a vibrant community with the feel of quiet and relaxation of a retreat. Space for more than a dozen people, if necessary, or sepaspaces for couples to use as their own. A great choice.

Great views in a quiet cove. The house has everything you need. Great use of space. Everyone had a room. Comfortable beds. Easy access to the city and the beach, without feeling like you are in the middle of everything. The house was clean. The host was responsive and welcoming. Overall, we had a great time!

Thanks for staying with us, glad you enjoyed your stay David. Hope to host you again in the future.
There was something wrong with our initial booking, so host offered a different place which was totally fine! We spent a weekend at this place for my father’s 60th. My parents loved this place because they could fishing/crabbing on the dock. The place we nice and clean, however due to the high mosquitoes.. we wish there were nets on the windows since we love to enjoy the breeze through the house. Each room had a bathroom which worked out great!
Rooms were good, bedding excellent. Privacy top Notch. Boardwalk and sunset views AMAZING!
Only issue we ran into was not enough pots to make our several planned dishes. We managed. Much more than ample silverware, dinnerware and cutlery, though.
Perfectly met out needs for this work planning session.
