About this property

Bayfront Home w/ Views, Boardwalk & Fishing

Located on the banks of the tranquil bay in the exclusive Galveston Bay Club, this serene and secluded home is a welcome escape from the daily hustle-and-bustle. With three covered porches and sweeping views of the bay waters from nearly every room, you’ll feel all your stress melt away from the moment you arrive. And with enough luxurious square footage for family and friends, a barbeque patio, and a private bayside boardwalk— this home is like a Texas Gulf Coast dream come true.

Location: Galveston Bay Club community in Galveston, Texas

Beach access: A quick 5 minute drive from multiple west-end beaches.

Community Amenities: Guests have access to the boardwalk winding along the water's edge, perfect for sunset strolls and fishing.

Rent BeachBox: Looking for beach gear for your Galveston getaway? We have you covered! Beach chairs and tents can be ready at the house upon your arrival. Message us for details and rates.

WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.

Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.

Pet policy: Up to 3 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!

Large Groups: We love hosting church groups and large family gatherings, however groups over the size of 16 guests must be approved prior to booking.

Parking: There is parking space for up to 6 vehicles.

Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.

No detail has been overlooked in this stately home. The open living and dining spaces have a soothing mix of calming grays, crisp whites, and pops of bright teal. High ceilings, elegant recessed lighting, and tons of natural light add to the airy and spacious feel of the room.

A marble-topped, natural wood island with bar seating, a built-in microwave, and a wine fridge leads into the kitchen. White shaker cabinets and gleaming marble worktops create a luxurious and efficient space to prepare coffee, cocktails, casual lunches, snacks— or a full dinner for the whole crew. Stainless steel appliances and a modern vent hood over the range complete the chic space. Down the hall is a laundry room that leads into a powder room.

There’s one bedroom on the main level that has a king-size bed and an attached full bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms are upstairs. First is the master suite, with a sumptuous king-size bed and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with dramatic tile work. The master suite also has access to a sun-kissed balcony overlooking the bay. The second bedroom has two queen-size beds and an attached full bathroom with a step-in shower, and the third bedroom is a bunk room— with two full-over-full bunks and a triple stack of twin-over-twin bunks built into a cozy nook. The bunk room also has its own private full bathroom. Separate from the house on the ground level is a secondary bunk room with custom built-in triple full bunks.

The epic outdoor spaces at this home will draw you outside again and again— to enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, or sip a glass of wine while a pastel pink sunset lights up the sky above you. The main level deck space has two dining tables for hosting memorable alfresco dinners under the stars with the whole family.

On the ground level, there’s even more lounging and dining space— including a barbeque area with a charcoal grill and picnic tables. A dreamy wood walkway winds its way across the shoreline of West Bay and is easily accessible from the home. You’ll want to take many leisurely strolls down this peaceful pathway and perhaps do a little fishing. And when you want to get sandy, Pirates Beach is a 5-minute drive away.

The premier location of this home means that you’re also close to the dining, shopping, and family-friendly excitement of the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier. Pack up your flip flops and book your next getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast at this picture-perfect, peaceful paradise.

Mardi Gras retreat

I took the family to Galveston to enjoy the city and its Mardi Gras celebration. We rebooked this house since we loved staying at this property the previous year. Plenty of room for a large family. Far enough out of town for a quiet relaxing weekend but not so far as to be out of the way. The western facing balconly provided beautiful views or the sunset. Will be back!

Was good but could have been great.

Overall my friends and I enjoyed our stay ash’s will definitely be back in Galveston. The house was beautiful with amazing views, with the cold weather, the house was warm and accommodated all of us well. The only issues I had with the house was some of the burgers of the stove was not working, as well as little to no cooking stencils and supplies. There was an elevated but was shut off for guests to use and the downstairs room held 3 people but they had to leave the room and come out of the house and come up the stairs just to use the restroom and be apart of the rest of the group. It could have been five if they had elevator access but they did not. The host communicated with us throughout the stay and was very attentive. In the future if I stay here again, I’d wish for the elevator to work. :)

Not a 5 bedroom house

It's really a 4 bedroom house, with a closet off of one of the bedrooms with 3 stacked twin beds. Luckily one of our families cancelled at the last minute. Also some basic condiments in the kitchen would be helpful, ie. salt, pepper. Other than that the house was comfortable, peaceful with a beautiful view of the bay.

Small family

We stayed here as a little staycation to be close to the beach while I flew in from out of town and was very pleased with the property. Very nicely kept, clean and you can’t beat the view. The manager was always great to communicate with and it was great that we were able to bring our pets.

Could be a great house

To start off- we were very disappointed in this home. We had stayed a few months ago in a similar size home in Galveston and it was amazing and not available this time, so we tried something different but with similar reviews. The maids hadn't been there when we arrived at check-in at 4pm. They came right after and stayed 35 minutes. The home was dirty, had ants, the couch was torn and had nasty stains- which I used sheets to cover- and the home has a lot of deferred maintenance. There were not enough dishes to cook, plenty to eat off of but the ants kept us from doing that, we had to buy paper goods. No tables to sit at for dinner, etc., except outside but there is plenty of room for tables inside. The mosquitoes were way too bad to sit outside, ( not the owner's fault)- there still needs to be seating for the amount of people that can they advertise can stay, and there was nowhere near that amount. A couch, a chair and 3 barstools were the extent of the inside seating. The home had great reviews which is why we chose it. There is not a 5th bedroom which is what was advertised, and online in their listing to sell the home it is advertised as 4 bedrooms. The 5th is a closet in a bathroom with 3 twin stacked beds that no one can even get on except the bottom one and you are sandwiched between the next one. Do not expect or book this is you need 5 bedrooms. This could be a very nice place to stay if it was cleaned up and furnished properly. The views were great.

Perfect for Families!

This house is set up perfectly for a large group or large family! The multiple back patios face the bay and were our go-to place to hang out. There’s a large room with 4 beds, and then a side room off of that with 3 additional beds that made a great kids room, with multiple master suites for adults! We loved how many bathrooms this house had, no one had to fight over a shower!

Great communication with the host. The property was as expected. Our family (8 people) stayed here for one night before we left on a cruise out of Galveston. The only issue we found was getting pizza delivered to the house : - ) We were out of range for many restaurants, but finally found one.
