You have found the perfect location to enjoy a wonderful beach getaway with your family and friends! This magical getaway is located across the street from the beach. The beautiful ocean views are endless and amazing. It is a short walk to the before you can have your toes in the sand and a drink in your hand. While at the beach house you will enjoy listening to the waves while you relax on the hammock, one of the tall Adirondack chairs(which offer an even better beach view), or lounging on the patio furniture. There are two wonderful outdoor dining tables on the upper and lower deck for you to enjoy a freshly grilled meal from the provided grill. There is a large fenced-in yard where you can enjoy playing outdoor games or playing fetch with your dog.
The cozy beach house has high ceilings, an open floor plan, and a large sectional that will welcome you upon arrival.

The Terramar neighborhood has vehicle beach access at the front of the neighborhood where you can unload your beach supplies for the day and set up for a day of adventures. Not only is the beach easily accessible, but this lovely community also offers a beautiful communal pool, fishing pier, boat ramp, and covered gazebo. There are so many choices for your entire group and there is something for everyone.
The beach is amazing but the city of Galveston also has so much to offer. Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Moody Gardens, and the Pleasure Pier are some of our guest's favorites. The historic Strand district offers great shopping, dining, strolling, and La Kings Ice cream and candy store.

The view is awesome! Walking out on the deck and listening to the ocean was a great perk. Easy walk to the beach. House was well-furnished, clean, and stocked with all of the essentials. Don’t miss the sunrises and sunsets!
Our family really enjoyed the view and the yard for our dog. The house was adorable and clean. We would stay here again when in Galveston.

Great vacation rental
The house was great. It had just the right number of beds and rooms for our family weekend getaway, and it was conveniently close to the beach. It has a huge backyard that can accommodate outdoor games. Loved that there is an outdoor shower to rinse off before entering the house.
beautifully located across from the beach. Perfect for families with pets because they have a fenced yard. Clean and comfortable. Love it and would stay there again. Thanks for hosting us!!
Very pleased with our stay and accommodations. Home was clean, well maintained and gorgeous views of the ocean. Great location and easy to get to. Family friendly, perfect for my 3 year old son, parents and 2 dogs as well. Kathy was very responsive and informative. Would highly recommend this home to family and friends!
The property is a perfect property for a large family gathering. Multiple beach accesses away from the crowd of Galveston yet close enough to do anything in Galveston with ease. Definitely recommend.
