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.

We loved it!
The location and beach access were exactly what we were looking for! The house itself was in great shape, we were impressed with the updated appliances in the kitchen. We had everything we needed to allow us to relax and enjoy our vacation!

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.

Worst property we have ever had
I spoke with Vacasa 1 week prior to our arrival, they said everything at the property was good that there team had checked it . We get there to find a foot of water covering the road to get to the house. Roof was half tarped and leaking. Rotten flooring around both back doors that don’t close. I spent and hour cleaning nails and trash around the house and back deck. 2 hours after we checked in Vacasa calls and said they want to cancel do to the condition of the house but they had no other property available and wanted us to reschedule the vacation. I told them no that everyone drove 7 hours and took off work so we stayed and had to deal with the house the way it was. No wifi so no tv. No question I will NEVER DEAL WORH THIS CONPANY AGAI

Great location and view from the patio.
The house is in a great location but could use some maintenance and updates. We enjoyed our stay but it would have been nice to have had a grill to use. I would recommend bringing some off and mosquito spray for the yard for your stay.

Beautiful view from a tired house
The view and being on the beach was great. The deck was nice. And it’s close to town. The house on the inside needs lots and lots of TLC, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. We cooked so looked through the kitchen really well. There are too many of some things and not enough of others. Not one pot holder in the house so glad there were extra bathroom towels to get food out of the oven! The kitchen chairs are a mess; dirty and upholstery peeling off. I suggest reading all reviews before you book. The comments I’m writing here have been said many times before so wondering if freshening up will ever happen to this place.

The location was wonderful. Really enjoyed the beach. The house needs a lot of work. One of the bathrooms had a bad leak and the barbecue should be taken off the amenities list because it was fallen apart.

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.

Great location! Hundreds of sea shells on the beach.
You can't beat this location. Plenty of covered parking, easy in and out. The property could use a facelift and new living room furniture, but the beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Plenty of towels and toilet paper, but bring your own shower soap and shampoo. Small sample sizes are provided. We didn't cook so I can't rate the kitchen, other than the ice maker didn't work. Two ice trays are provided. The beach view is spectacular! Just walk downstairs, and you're steps from the sand. Quiet beach most times, got more active on the weekend. You could sit on the deck and see your friends and family on the beach easily. Plenty of shells for collecting, lots of open sand for volleyball or other games, lots of shallow water. Great place for body boards. Take your own beach equipment, none was provided. If location over luxury is what you want, this is it!

Did not meet expectations
This home was likely once a beautiful place. We stay all over galveston multiple times a year and this home did not meet expectations. This home has a great view and the location is great. The home itself is run down. The floors are uneven and rotted. They seemed a bit dangerous to walk on. There are no lights under the home at all and only 2 rooms had tvs. There was dust everywhere and there was hair on the wall in the bathroom and roaches. Definitely will not 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.

House is conveniently located past sea wall but still close to town. The upper deck and parking is great for multi family or friends. Inside is nice and roomy. Kitchen and baths are very utilitarian and can use updates.
