This Gulf-front vacation rental offers you the chance to experience the Texas coast while staying in the lap of luxury. Slip away from the hustle and bustle while you explore the shores of Galveston. This beach community sits close to town, only a block from the Seawall. Just seven miles from the historic Galveston Pleasure Pier and five blocks from eateries, this rental puts you right in the heart of the action on the island. The warm sands of the Texas coast beckon you to come and play. Rent a jet ski, or book a spot on a local fishing tour to delve into the Gulf Coast and quench your thirst for excitement. Schlitterbahn Water Park has everything you need to give your younger vacationers a unique and fun experience while staying safe in the water.

Boasting plenty of modern amenities, you may never want to leave! Freshly repainted in 2023, the decor lets beachside ambience flow through the home, bringing the shore to you. Kick the sand off your feet as you make your way up to the stilted entrance of your home away from home. An open and spacious layout allows all your guests to spread out in the sprawling interior. The bright, airy living area has vaulted ceilings, towering picture windows, and an unobstructed view of gently crashing waves. Plenty of seating makes it easy to enjoy a family movie night on the HDTV. Whether you're watching a DVD or staying up to date on your favorite show via cable, there's plenty of room to curl up and enjoy.

Take advantage of the fast WiFi by looking up a recipe to try in the contemporary kitchen. With ample counter space and bar seating, your culinary assistants can sip a glass of wine while they help you create your delicious dish. An additional cabinet-top ice maker can make up to 25 pounds of ice a day! Stepping out of the living room and onto the expansive deck, you'll be greeted by all-encompassing water views that span the Galveston coast. Grill up a tasty BBQ dish on your stainless steel gas grill as you watch the stars come out over the Gulf Coast.

When you're ready to retire, the main bedroom boasts access to the lower deck and tons of storage space.

Great Views, Great Location, Tired Home!

We were only here for a short stay and the location and views were exactly what we were looking, stunning. The property though is sadly in need of some repair, there is clearly a lot off untreated water damage along the south facing side of the house (sea side)m bathroom fittings a little old and not well kept, plug sockets not connect properly and just a general feeling of not being looked after

A bit of a let down

It is on the beach and great location. Cleanliness was not a problem inside the house. Trash cans were completely full when we got there so it was a struggle for any trash we had, breaker kept tripping so TV and some lights did not work (they did bring an extension cord after 2 days), there are absolutely no chairs or anything other beach, dryer did not work at all we finally found 1 setting it would work on but not equipped to dry clothes, outdoor shower was disconnected, constantly people blocking driveway to walk to the beach, 1 bathroom tub was stained from leaking water and that had no bath plug.

Location is amazing

The location of this property is amazing! Be prepared that the house is much older and only has the very basics. It was very clean, but seems it’s only getting the minimum required maintenance. The property company, vacasa, was great and very responsive (dryer stopped working). The small neighborhood is very quiet and friendly and the beach is very quiet at night. It’s all about the location for this place!

Happy Margaritaville

Overall very happy and would rent again. Great location, close to town, Moodys, on beach. Water not on when arrived at 8pm. Called and no water till mid morning or next day. Some of ceiling fans didn’t work. Outdoor shower/foot spray didn’t work. Nice if hade a guidebook- take garbage out? Strip beds? Start laundry of towels? Etc.

Bad start to a vacation

No AC, no internet, doors rusted in lock position. "Comparable" offers to move were not even close in size, not beachfront, and as much as 17 miles away. No follow up on when things would be fixed. Terrible experience. wasted two days trying to get a solution. Finally, a local agent stepped in and found something that was close to what we had contracted for.

Roach motel

I have rented beach houses for over 30 years and this was a first. There were large roaches all over the house. When we walked in there was two on the wall and a dead one on the floor. Finally after finding one in the bed with us we packed up and left a night early. They were in the kitchen too. The kitchenware was old and rusty. We brought food to cook all our meals as we always do but we were not comfortable using the kitchen items so we picked up food. We contacted management and sent pictures. We were never contacted or refunded any amount.

Ground level lighting didn’t work the outside shower didn’t work, no grill, But the number one thing that was really bad one of the ceiling fans fell out of the ceiling and missed one of us by just a couple of inches!!!!!!! So at this point we have to worry if one of the other fans will fall. there was four ceiling fans in the living area. So was the location worth the stress and anxiety of wondering if one of the other fans would fall on top of us.

Enjoyed our stay, clean and inviting. Few things to include would be a grill, soap for dishes and sponge. Toilet paper- may wanna bring extra and towels. Tubs dripped and back door to one of the rooms would not close, my father had to fix it. Other than that the house was perfect and would stay there again.

We had a great time and loved the location of this property and the property itself! It was perfect in size for the both of us and our 2 dogs. We will definitely come back if we come back to Galveston. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a few things that need to be fixed or paid attention to a little more. While they didn’t necessarily bother us or effect our trip, it’s still worth noting for others and for management.First, the spring was off one of the balcony doors, and the gate up the stairs was not functioning properly. Also, the outdoor shower seemed to be broken? I’m using it as a question mark because I wasn’t sure if I used it wrong, but it didn’t bother us because the hose was next to it so we were still able to use it. Also, the dryer needs some attention. When we first used the dryer, it kept turning off saying to clean lint, but when I’d look it was empty. I realized it was coming from inside the door and I had to manually pull out tons of lint. It was a lot…I’m not sure if the bag needs replacing but it was like this the day we arrived. It should at least be cleaned out in between stays. The trash outside by the curb was still full from the last guests so we had to use another one under the stairs. Lastly, in the bathroom by the washer/dryer, the bath tub has a slight leak no matter how hard you try to turn it off and the bathroom sink was clogged and filled up while brushing my teeth.Just some feedback for improvement :)

This was the absolute perfect place for us to stay for our spontaneous family getaway!! It was our first time ever staying in a rental that was right on the beach, and we won’t ever stay anywhere else now!! It is so worth it to be conveniently right there! Plus, so close to town! We had a fabulous time and hope to come back to this exact spot very soon!
