About this property

The Fiddler Crab | Great Location, Walk to Beach!

With all of the views you can imagine, The Fiddler Crab is located in the heart of Galveston Island giving you a fresh perspective of what it means to “get away”. Surrounded by beaches in every which way, you will undoubtedly feel like you booked the “catch of the day”!

Positioned on Pirates Beach, this home is a true treasure! A well-kept area that is private and peaceful, escape from the city and stick your feet in the sand next to your beach towel and take in the beautiful Gulf Coast views and meditative waves. Watch the sun rise over the waters for a serene experience you will reminisce on for years to come! The area is also known for its large collection of seashells so you and the family can take home a prize to commemorate your adventure.

Just a 5 minute drive west is the Galveston Island State Park which offers plenty of opportunities for camping, hiking, birdwatching, and so much more! You can spend the whole day here since they offer showers and bathrooms, take a dip in the water or cast a line out for some beachfront fishing, the aquatic options are endless!

After you have worked up an appetite, there are plenty of bistros and grills to satiate every palate. From fresh seafood and steaks to traditional American fare, from seaside Mexican to fine dining Italian, you and your guests will have plenty of choices to ponder. You can always take a short drive more towards the Houston area if you really want to expand but the beauty of Fiddler’s Crab and Galveston Island is you really don’t need to – everything you could want or need is within arm’s reach. For some traditional oceanside pier choices, check out the Galveston Island Historic Please pier.

Take advantage of the views and stay home to make use of the full upgraded kitchen in The Fiddler Crab. With two stories of space coming out to 1800 square feet, you and 8 other guests will have no problem feeling at home. Tap into the free Wi-Fi to stream your favorite playlists and with the gas fireplace going, the vibe will be complete! The primary suite is outfitted with a king size bed and has a private balcony facing the gulf along with a private en suite bathroom, and the other 2 bedrooms are well furnished to keep everyone comfortable. At three stories tall with the living accommodations taking the top two floors, you will have a crow’s nest point of view.

Book your refuge at The Fiddler Crab today to see what all of the hubbub is about and you are sure to have a retreat that lasts long after your stay. GVR05788

some issues need addressing...
great location but the hot water on the bedroom level did not work, the nest thermostat was cranky (it reset to 78 a bunch...) and we are not a fan of spiral staircases to get to the top level living and kitchen area (since we are retired and not used to climbing that many stairs) everything else was in great condition.
