About this property

Summer Wind, Beachfront with incredible views! 5 miles from Galveston sea wall!


There is bed space for 10 people. 8 or 9 adults is comfortable. We do allow up to 11, with one on the couch or on the spare mattress that is under the bed. This beachfront home has one of the best views of any home on the West End, yet close to the fun of downtown Galveston. Easy walk to Galveston State Park. Our beach has a private feeling and is very quiet (no cars are allowed to drive on beach thus no worries about the kids/dogs). Once you cross the bridge from the mainland you will find a unique experience. We feel like we are entering a different world when we visit our beachfront island home! This is a pet friendly home with a pet fee of $75 per pet.

COVID-19: The house is ideal for social distancing. The beach is not crowded, there is plenty of outdoor deck space, and I recently upgraded the HVAC with a media filter and a UV air treatment system. Our cleaning company disinfects all touch surfaces (light switches, door knobs, counter tops, etc). If at any time our beach is closed down, the city prohibits short term rentals, or there is a state wide lock-down and you are prevented from using your reservation I will return all money paid. Please stay healthy!

MISC: This home is set back, plenty of beach in front and only small dunes between you and the beach. Please note, the map illustration can make it appear there are lots in front of Summer Wind. If you use a satellite view you will see this is not the case. This is a front row, ocean front home!

Beautiful beach house!
We loved everything about this house! It was so nice to be right on the beach especially with having our children who loved playing in the water and sand the entire stay. The house is fully stocked with appliances and dishes. We hope to be back soon!

Perfect location for relaxation!
This property was perfect for our two families to enjoy a relaxing spring break! The house is right on the beach making it easy for going back for lunch or restroom breaks. Everything was clean, there were tons of bath towels (bring your own beach towels) and we even got lucky with a couple of boogie boards! Just a short drive into Galveston for dinners. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Ocean Getaway
The property was beautiful and right on the beach with outstanding views. Easy checkin and checkout process. Neighborhood felt safe and comfortable. Bedrooms were small and house could use a little bit of polish.

This was our second stay at this property and it didn’t disappoint. We needed a close by escape from Houston’s heat and humidity… and this home worked. Love being on the water and staying midweek…. No crowds, no noisy neighbors, no hassles! Thanks.

About the host

Hosted by John Coppens

Host profile image
I bought the house in 2008, and 2 months later, Hurricane Ike destroyed the foundation and broke our hearts. I spent the next year working on the house. It had to be lifted up and set on the beach. Once a new foundation was built, the house was placed on top and then much of the house had to be rebuilt. Once the house was finished, I spent the next couple of years working for a house moving company doing similar work another storm damaged houses along the gulf coast. In 2011 I moved to the east coast where I now work as a high school physics teacher and an on-call firefighter. The house is a source of pride for me and I try to always keep it as a welcoming second home for my guests. My wife and 2 girls enjoy coming back to Galveston to visit the house and a few old friends as often as we can.
