Items of Note:
The luxurious neighborhood has its own entrance to the beach by foot or you can park directly on the beach using Access Point #16 at 13 Mile road, no permit required. It is a short 3-4 minute walk to the sand!

We use a mosquito spray service that uses a non-toxic solution on the vegetation to reduce the amount of pests around the property.

If you need any additional supplies, food, or drink there is a convenient Dollar General located just across the road from the neighborhood entrance.

The Beach Bandit offers the best of the beach and backyard pool time to get the most out of your stay!

Great place for a family stay.

The property was great for me to stay here with my parents sisters, nieces, and nephews. The heated pool really helped with the chilly weather. Scott was especially communicative, very friendly and also very thoughtful. Highly recommend this property and will likely be back in the summer with my family.

50 th bday girls trip

We had such an amazing time at this house. The pool was large and the outside first floor refrigerator was a deal maker. It made keeping snacks and drinks cool so convenient. There were so many beds that our larger group didn’t even have to share. The large dining room table was also a huge plus.

Great Weekend in Galveston

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for our 4 families with 5 kids. The beach was a very short walk away and when we were tired of the sand we had the pool to hang out in. Great spot, would definitely come back.

Perfect place for family of all ages

We had a great experience at the house! Everything from the rooms to the communication with the host was great. The pool was perfect for all of us ranging from an infant to 60+ years of age. The teenage boys loved it! The lounge chairs, outside shower, and "water toys" available were super. And the ocean is just a short walk. The house had plenty of room so we did not feel crowded at all! We will be back!

The incredible beach house!

We had an incredible stay at this property! The house is absolutely amazing with all the amenities of home and more. It is less than a block away from the ocean and you can see the ocean from the bedroom window. The beds are absolutely amazing and has plenty of room for larger families. Our communication with the owners was incredible and probably the best we’ve ever experienced on a VRBO booking! I highly recommend this property to anybody !

This home was well appointed, all the amenities you need, well located, clean, and the host was super responsive! So close to a stroll or power walk on the beach. Close to dinner out or a bring home pizza. The pool and hot tub were warm and luxurious. Our girlfriend group of 7 celebrated our 60th here and it couldn’t have been better.

Thanksgiving in Galveston

Every Thanksgiving we rent a house for our family of 19 to gather. Usually someplace warm. This year we chose Galveston. Scott was very responsive. Usually replied within minutes. He found a butcher for us in league city where we could buy a fresh killed turkey. Also made restaurant recommendations which were excellent. House had plenty of beds and a dinner table that easily sits 10. House is short walk to beach. Garage has beach stuff that we did not use. Best part was the heated pool. Weather was cool in the 60s. Whole family was in pool multiple times. We also spent a day at the NASA Space center which was great activity for teenage kids.

Which is a 5 minute walk. We love how we get to spend so much family time since everything is so near this home. Store&beach. Looking forward on booking it for our next summer vacation!
