About this property

Gulf Front Luxury Beach House w/Mini Golf, Hot Tub, Firepit + Family Friendly

Located on one of Texas’ premier beaches, Fore Shore is steps from feeling the sand between your toes, basking in the warm seaside sun, and splashing in the sparkling Gulf waters. This spectacular 3-bedroom, 2-bath beachfront home is beautifully styled with a modern coastal theme, has gulf views from every room, wide open social areas, comfortable private bedrooms, fantastic outdoor entertaining spaces including a hot tub & mini golf, and is directly on the water - all making for an unforgettably perfect vacation getaway.

The residence boasts an open designer kitchen with high-end appliances and convenient bar seating that seamlessly transitions to the dining and living areas. Guests will love the breathtaking gulf views and watching the sunset from these rooms, or they can head outside to the adjacent covered deck for an even better view with additional dining options, a seating area, and quick escape to the sand and sea.

Three private bedrooms and two full baths provide plenty of options for any type of group. Bedroom one is a king with a luxury ensuite bathroom and access to a private balcony. Bedroom two features a lovely queen bed, and the third bedroom is styled as a double bunk room – a fun feature that kids always love. The shared full bath has a great shower/tub combo that is ideal for bathing kids after a day of fun in the sun, and these rooms combined with a sleeper sofa in the living room comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests.

Outdoor living at Fore Shore offers endless possibilities for relaxation and fun! A private hot tub in the covered outdoor entertainment court down below is definitely the hot spot to chill day or night. Perfect your putting skills on the 9-hole mini golf course, host a cornhole tournament, nap in the hammock, relax on the porch swing, then prepare the catch of the day on the BBQ grill and serve alfresco in the shady picnic spot. Once the sun goes down, gather at the beachside firepit with Adirondack seating for s’mores and stargazing.

Ample on-site parking, an outdoor shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off after seaside excursions, and convenient laundry machines add to the long list of thoughtful on-property service extras. And be sure to find the hidden stand-up arcade and make the most of all the board games when not at the beach!

Amenity Highlights Include:
- Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi
- Dedicated workspace
- Comprehensive housewares package + standard small appliances
- Fresh linens, towels, and beach towels for every guest
- Beach chairs, gear, and toys
- Central HVAC system to provide year-round ambient comfort

Your vacation continues the moment you step off property where an abundance of sun splashed activities await. A central Bolivar Peninsula location provides easy access to all the area’s famous attractions. Stay local and take advantage of the beach at your doorstep, nearby restaurants, fishing, and watersports or take the Galveston-Bolivar Ferry over to the Island of Galveston for a day of fun at Moody Gardens, the Pleasure Pier, or Schlitterbahn Galveston. After a day of enjoying your favorite outdoor activities, head back to Fore Shore, kick off your shoes, then settle on the deck with a refreshing drink and unwind as the sun sets on the end of an amazing day in paradise.

Never wanted to leave!
This location was amazing! We only left to go to the store for groceries and to check out M.O.M.S Petting Zoo (highly recommend). The house was super cute, the location was private as the immediate neighbors were not there at the time of our stay, and the amenities were so fun! We LOVED the putt putt, fire pit and hot tub. Nothing beats the sun setting on the ocean, the bonfire going, and watching it all from the warm hot tub. I would definitely stay again! But with that said, there were a couple things to note. The first two nights there was swarms of massive dragon flies, and me being terrified of bugs, this was hard for me to stomach. Obviously this is of no fault to the owners. The hot tub had a lot of dead bugs and dirt, and the water level was low, which we didn’t notice until late on the first night when we went to get in so that was a bummer. The owner did send some out right away to fix it the next day so that was very much appreciated. Also, the bed was very comfy however the comforters are extremely thin. We had to sleep with that bed comforter plus the couch blankets. This may not be a problem to some depending on sleeping preferences. Overall, the couple of downsides in no way outweigh all of the positives of this property. We desperately wanted to extend our stay but unfortunately we could not. Don’t miss out on this location!

Beautiful house on the beach with wonderful amenities
We really enjoyed everything about the house and our stay. Just a few things that was a bother. They only supplied 1 roll of paper towels and 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Usually that information is provided so families can make arrangements before coming. We had 3 kids and 4 adults and I cooked almost every meal of our stay so what was provided was not enough at all. Additionally most of the towels were still in the dryer and all the hand towels and wash cloths were new and not washed so I had to wash those before being able to use. The over all cleaning of the home could have been better. It just didn’t seem more than a light / surface cleaning. All of that said we would still visit this home again.

Amazing Property
This property had everything we needed and more. The location is terrific. We enjoyed lots of time on the deck and the large kitchen was great for fixing our own meals. There were so many shells on the beach and it was never crowded with people, even on the weekend. We would definitely like to return.

Gorgeous Galveston House
Our stay at this beach rental was absolutely magical!! The amenities alone were a hit!! Between the hot tub, the putt-putt, the fire pit, and of course private beach access our family had an amazing time!! No need to even travel into Galveston island (ferry wait was 2hrs)! So if you’re looking for an all in one home this rental is it!!! House complaint: Only complaint was that there was laundry (towels) left in the dryer for us to have to fold and put away on arrival. *Which isn’t much of a complaint, bc the house was stunning!!! Beach Complaint: There was a tar/grease on the beach (very little & hard to spot actually but still annoying) that got on a few items while visiting and was smeared in the hot tub some upon arrival. We didn’t let that stop us though! It was so relaxing! We will FOR SURE be visiting again at this location! The hosts were so friendly and answered any and all of our questions we had along the way!!! Thank you for letting us stay at your gorgeous home!
