You can't get much closer to the Gulf Coast than this absolutely adorable, dog-friendly house on Galveston Island - complete with a full kitchen, balcony, furnished patio with incredible view, and easy beach access right out your back door.

This multi-level, three-bedroom rental is just a couple blocks away from Termini-San Luis Pass Road, one mile up from Galveston Island State Park for hiking, birdwatching and swimming, and only 12 miles from the historic heart of Galveston for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Bright, inviting, and thoroughly updated, this beachfront home has hardwood floors, colorful furnishings and accents, and numerous windows offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the water.

Feel instantly at ease in the upstairs living room with plush leather furniture, multiple ceiling fans, a warming electric fireplace, access to a private balcony with a romantic porch swing, and, of course, spectacular views through a wall of large, Gulf Coast-facing windows.

On the lower level (down a spiral staircase), there's a seating area, a dining area for six, and an open, fully-equipped kitchen with a host of essential accessories. You'll have a variety of top-of-the-line, stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator with an ice maker, a range, microwave oven, coffee maker, and dishwasher. A gas grill is also available if you want to fire it up and have an old-fashioned family cookout.

Two bedrooms are located on the first level of this home, including the master bedroom with a queen-size bed and private access out to the patio. On this same floor, the first guest room has two twin-over-twin built-in bunk beds, perfect for younger visitors.

Upstairs, the third bedroom has a sturdy full-over-twin bunk. With three bedrooms, and two full baths, this home sleeps guests quite comfortably. Up to two family dogs (25 lb weight limit) are also welcome to join you during your stay for an additional nightly fee.

This home comes with WiFi so everyone can get online with ease. With three cable TVs, a DVD player, and access to a media library, you can keep up with all your favorite shows or program your very own movie nights (don't forget the popcorn)! A private washer/dryer is also included to let you start each day with fresh, clean clothes.

Spend some time out on the furnished patio watching the pelicans soar past or grab the provided beach chairs from the garage and take a stroll over to the nearby beach for a day of sunbathing and swimming.

Make arrangements for an off-shore or deep sea fishing excursion through one of the many local marinas, or take the whole family up to Moody Gardens with its unique pyramid pavilions, gigantic, MG 3D movie theater, and rotating exhibits all just nine miles away.

An ideal getaway for any reason or season, reserve this quaint, waterfront home with us today and get ready for a magical adventure along the Gulf Coast.

Relaxing getaway

The location was great. The porch swings were a great place to have morning coffee and wine in the evening. The house was wonderful in everyway. The kitchen was very well stocked. The only complaint we had was the beds weren't very comfortable.

Perfect Getaway!

We absolutely loved our visit here! The views and unbeatable so if you're looking for a true oceanfront home, this is it! Sitting on that porch swing while sipping a beverage with my husband on our 15th anniversary is a new core memory for me. We will definitely be back!

Great location

The location is the selling point for this property. Steps away from the beach, we were able to watch the family play in the water from our porch, or from inside the house in the AC. The house itself is fine, but could be a bit cleaner, and I killed a giant roach in the kitchen. But overall a good choice for families.

Great view and location, but in bad need of deep cleaning

Great location and views, but the place is very dusty and there are huge cockroaches inside. Beddings were very clean though, so it was nice.

A dream vacation house and location

It was sort of the vacation location you dream of. A nice house practically on the beach with beautiful ocean waves slapping up against the sandy beach. It was also very peaceful and quiet with a relatively few of amount of people… just enough to know that you’re not alone. Of course we walked along the beach a few times but spent most of our time telling stories and laughing while hearing and watching the ocean and the seagulls… a perfect backdrop! We are definitely going back next year!

This property is always about the view. Everything else is just so-so. However, we will be back. On the upside, first time in years I have been able to get the door code for entry to work. Yay for the small things.

Location Location Location

This house has the best location. Right on the beach with the most amazing views. Sunrise and sunsets and all day viewing. Great porches and outdoor seating. Spent the week outside on the porch. Home is older and smaller inside but perfect for our family of 5. Kitchen was great and had all that we needed. Needs a really good cleaning as it was very dusty. Needs additional bedding but had a great stack of bath towels! Lots of sand toys in garage for kids to play with. Bring pillows and extra blankets. Bring your own cleaning spray. The location is the winner for this house. Beautiful porches and view.

83 camels

Lovely beach house for us as a couple. The kids rooms will be a bit tight, but the excitement of the kids getting to play on the beach will tire them out. The house is right on the beach which is very convenient, sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. As a retired Merchant Mariner the upstairs living room made me feel like I was on the wheelhouse of a ship. Bring binoculars and beach chairs. About the title of the review, I think we counted 83 different camels in the house, but we may have missed some. Game on!

Ok place: several pros, some cons

The place is cute and right next to the beach, we left our stuff on the sand and came back for meals and bathroom breaks. The deck is great for a morning coffee and lunches. If you plan to be outside taking in nice weather, its a very nice place. Many beds available, and a great view from the 2nd story common room and balcony. The bathrooms are a bit small to share with a whole family traveling, but doable. The couple roaches we saw were off-putting, but hopefully management takes care of that asap. Had to buy laundry soap. Unfortunately, the biggest con was that we found the beds to be quite creaky and uncomfortable. The kids slept fine, but us adults did not sleep so well. A little updating and maintenance, and this would be a very nice spot for a small family to stay.
