This beach house is the perfect place to spend a relaxing beachside vacation. (Minimum stays vary depending on the season.

With ocean views through the wall of windows, comfortable furnishings and perfectly sized bedrooms, you, your friends and family can kick back and catch up at your leisure. No smoking anywhere on site. Custom blinds, hardwood floors and other features not typical to a vacation home. Dine al fresco on the covered deck and watch the waves roll in, walk to the beach to feel the sand between your toes or make the short drive to downtown Galveston to enjoy all of the local shops, restaurants and attractions the island has to offer. We are pet friendly, but we work hard to keep this house immaculate! (Pet fee is $100)If dogs aren't your thing, don't worry. You would never know we are pet friendly!

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Nichols

Host profile image
We spend as much time in Galveston as possible and always bring our two dogs, Gracie and Izzy. We all love the fact that the beach is only a few steps away and go for walks whenever possible. Though work prevents us from being here full time now, it's still our favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

After being transferred to the area, finding the perfect home took some time. After a lot of searching, this property became available and it obviously had great potential. It was only steps to the beach and had a great yard. This was our home, not just a vacation house. So, we paved the driveway, installed hardwood floors, fenced the backyard and did a million other little things. We were thrilled with the result! It became our perfect home at the beach. With another work transfer in 2015, we could no longer live here full time. Since we can't bear the idea of selling our perfect house, we are opening it up for vacation rentals.

What makes this property unique

We are Aggie owned and operated. Gig 'em!
