About this property

Couples Retreat • Close to beach & golf • Peaceful

Enjoy a romantic weekend getaway at this cozy couple's retreat.
• It sits in close proximity to the beach and the Galveston Country Club golf course.
• Situated next to a lake with beautiful views from the living room and the deck, where you can enjoy peaceful moments together.
• The canopy of trees and lights in the backyard make it the perfect place for grilling or hanging out in the evenings.
• Every detail throughout this home was well thought out & creates the perfect retreat.

Pirates Beach Couple’s Retreat is a rare gem and provides a luxurious stay for a romantic getaway on the island. If you are looking for some time at the beach or maybe a few days at the golf course, this is conveniently located within distance of both! It is also just 15 minutes to the seawall and 19 minutes to Pleasure Pier, but allows you to escape to your quiet retreat when you are done with the busyness of the seawall & downtown.

Retreat Highlights:

*There is an outdoor shower for use after your trip to the beach to rinse your sandy feet. It is equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
*You will find a very nice pellet smoker/grill for your use while there.
*We have plenty of space for parking in the driveway in front of the house, and there is also a large carport that is big enough to store your boat or RV while you are visiting. *Inside the house you will find an abundance of natural light from all of the windows and an open layout with every inch well thought out in the design process.
*For those who are combining work & play, you will find a work desk + chair in a more secluded area for your use.
*Access to the balcony is available from the living room and it provides you with incredible views and relaxing evenings. It is the perfect place to sit with a drink and enjoy the evening, or morning sunrise.

There are so many great things about this property. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway, or something more long-term, you will love it here!

You will have access to the entire house, but the garage will be locked.

I always have my phone on me and will be available via the AirBNB app or via text/phone call. I am quick to respond if you need anything.

Our house is located on the West End of Galveston Island. It is in a quiet neighborhood and the house is situated between the Galveston Country Club, with great golfing available, and the beach. It is a very short drive to both. The house also has great views of the lake next to it form the living room windows and the front patio.

There is private parking available on the property. It is about half a mile to the country club and 3/4 of a mile to the beach.

We have also recently added 2 twin size mats that roll out to make beds for the little ones, if you can't get away for the weekend alone...or if you just want to take your kids on vacation with you. We use these for our kids when we visit and they love it. We lay them out on the living room floor for them to sleep on. But I just wanted to clarify so you know that there is not a separate sleeping area, or room, for the children. We welcome 2 adults max + 2 children.

****Please understand that this property is located on an island in a climate that has warm summers & humidity. Along with this weather we get lots of mosquitos, bugs and flying insects. In May there are also small winged termites in the area. While we wish that we could control these things, we simply cannot. We suggest bringing extra sunblock & bug spray...and don't plan on your hair looking great while down in the summer ;) Just enjoy the beach hair look. Thank you! ****
*We do allow one dog, but it must be a small dog (less than 15lbs only). We have hardwood floors throughout the house, so unfortunately we will not allow dogs that are larger than that. We also require that your dog is kept in a kennel when you leave them in the house alone.
*2 adult maximum for booking.
*Quiet hours 10pm - 8am. We want to respect our neighbors :)
*You must be at least 25 years old to book this house, via HOA regulations.
*You can only park in the driveway, parking along the side of the road is an HOA violation.

Perfect
Our almost 2 month stay was perfect. We had quiet, we had beaches, golf, restaurants, morning and evening sun. All communications with the owner were great. We had come from Canada to escape our Winter and visit family. We would definitely stay again. Thanks so much.

Perfect romantic getaway
Property was clean and exactly as it looks in the photos. The host was responsive and we had no problems with the property during our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Even though it rain during the second half of our stay we were well entertained while inside; wifi is fast and plenty of apps available on the provided TV. Would definitely recommend

Great Ammenities
A wonderful place to stay close to the beach. Ashley and Josh have included everything you could ever need and have the location tastefully decorated (a very calming atmosphere!). I was unfamiliar with the way the door lock worked but Ashley was quick with communication and we got it figured out. We will certainly keep this location in mind for any future weekend (or longer) get aways.

Hello, my name is Ashley and I love being able to share our home with others. I live in Texas with my husband and 3 children. We love our stays in Galveston by the beach. It provides us with a place to unplug and enjoy our time as a family.

I am blessed to be a stay at home mom, which allows me to focus on our family. It also provides me with the flexibility I need to ensure that I am able to quickly respond to any questions or concerns that our guests may have.

We want to ensure that you have a memorable vacation and feel comfortable in our space so we are continuing to make changes and updates to our home as we go.

Thank you for the opportunity to host you in our home.
