With three covered porches and sweeping views of the bay waters from nearly every room, you’ll feel all your stress melt away from the moment you arrive. And with enough luxurious square footage for family and friends, a barbeque patio, and a private bayside boardwalk— this home is like a Texas Gulf Coast dream come true.

No detail has been overlooked in this stately home. The open living and dining spaces have a soothing mix of calming grays, crisp whites, and pops of bright teal. High ceilings, elegant recessed lighting, and tons of natural light add to the airy and spacious feel of the room.



A marble-topped, natural wood island with bar seating, a built-in microwave, and a wine fridge leads into the kitchen. White shaker cabinets and gleaming marble worktops create a luxurious and efficient space to prepare coffee, cocktails, casual lunches, snacks— or a full dinner for the whole crew. Stainless steel appliances and a modern vent hood over the range complete the chic space. Down the hall is a laundry room that leads into a powder room.



There’s one bedroom on the main level that has a king-size bed and an attached full bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms are upstairs. First is the master suite, with a sumptuous king-size bed and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with dramatic tile work. The master suite also has access to a sun-kissed balcony overlooking the bay. The second bedroom has two queen-size beds and an attached full bathroom with a step-in shower, and the third bedroom is a bunk room— with two full-over-full bunks and a triple stack of twin-over-twin bunks built into a cozy nook. The bunk room also has its own private full bathroom. Separate from the house on the ground level is a secondary bunk room with custom built-in triple full bunks.



The epic outdoor spaces at this home will draw you outside again and again— to enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, or sip a glass of wine while a pastel pink sunset lights up the sky above you. The main level deck space has two dining tables for hosting memorable alfresco dinners under the stars with the whole family.



On the ground level, there’s even more lounging and dining space— including a barbeque area with a charcoal grill and picnic tables. A dreamy wood walkway winds its way across the shoreline of West Bay and is easily accessible from the home. You’ll want to take many leisurely strolls down this peaceful pathway and perhaps do a little fishing. And when you want to get sandy, Pirates Beach is a 5-minute drive away.



The premier location of this home means that you’re also close to the dining, shopping, and family-friendly excitement of the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier. Pack up your flip flops and book your next getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast at this picture-perfect, peaceful paradise.



● Cancellation Policy: All cancellations are subject to a 3% credit card processing fee.



● Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

Galveston stay

The location is great, away from all the busyness. And the view of the water behind the house was nice. The size of the house is great for large groups, other than the living room area. Overall the house is nice, but could use some small but simple improvements.

Mardi Gras retreat

I took the family to Galveston to enjoy the city and its Mardi Gras celebration. We rebooked this house since we loved staying at this property the previous year. Plenty of room for a large family. Far enough out of town for a quiet relaxing weekend but not so far as to be out of the way. The western facing balconly provided beautiful views or the sunset. Will be back!

We stayed here as a little staycation to be close to the beach while I flew in from out of town and was very pleased with the property. Very nicely kept, clean and you can’t beat the view. The manager was always great to communicate with and it was great that we were able to bring our pets.
