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.

Location worth the price
I cannot emphasize how perfect the location is. If you have children, I would recommend this property. People cannot drive or park on the section of beach in front of property. The access to the beach is at bottom of back deck stairs. Clear view of beach from back deck. There are a few things that are dated but I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely location steps from the beach. If you can focus on the location you will have a wonderful time. That being said, this home is in desperate need of maintenance. Windows don’t open and the one we could open wouldn’t stay open and we had to prop it open with a pot lid. Kitchen cupboards are in poor shape. The coffee pot on switch didn’t work and there were 2 blender bases but not even one jar. We called about this the first morning we were there and it took until late afternoon of the next day for the management company to get new ones to us (we were leaving the next morning). This is a house for 10 and there were 2 beach towels available and no beach chairs or umbrella

Old and Tired
This house is in a fantastic location, steps from the beach, with incredible views!! The deck appears to be newer composite and the deck chairs were also new-ish. The rest of the house is really tired and broken. Furniture is broken, mirrors falling off the wall, doors are very hard to unlock and lock, broken toilet paper holder, cabinet doors warped and peeling, missing shelves in the bottom of the fridge, ice maker doesn't work. The TV in the main rooms remote only kind of worked, no volume and several buttons did not work (could only use the channel up and down, guide select button did not work) and the WiFi is okay, fairly slow. On the other hand, the house had good water pressure and hot water, Heat and ac worked well, and the dishwasher looked newer. This house was ~1/3rd of the price of the new one next door, so it is a bargain, and you realize why as soon as you walk inside. Just know going in that this house is tired and not a luxury beach house to host an important event like a wedding or family reunion. It is too bad, because if the owners invested in this house it would be a real gem based on the location alone!

Everything was great. However, the lamp in the front room was not needed but more of an eye sore due to the condition of the lamp. It was all wrinkled and ripped up. It didnt ruin the experience but voule do without. I mean that in no harm just a suggestion.

Sunny Beach
We appreciated the fact that pets were welcomed and that we were right on the beach. However, the house needs to be thoroughly cleaned-the floors, fans, kick knacks, lamps, lights, and inside of closets and cupboards were all filthy when we arrived!!! There were no hangars in the closets and the closets were full of junk so we couldn’t use them! Additionally, AC vents need to be cleaned and filters need to be replaced. The ice maker and toaster didn’t work. The inside and outer doors all stick and the deck gate latch is horrible to open!

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
