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 double stack of twin-over-twin bunks built into a cozy nook. The bunk room also has its own private full bathroom.
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.

This the third time our group has stayed at this location. It is located out a short ride from town without the noise. Check-in is easy and the rooms are comfortable. We had nine adults lounging in the living room watching movies and chatting. Plenty of parking for our motorcycles and the chase car. Beautiful views of the inlet. We will probably come here again next year.
I took my family down to Galveston for a weekend getaway to visit other family. This house was beautiful and has amazing views. I watched the sunset across the water all weekend. The host was very communicative and always a message or phone call away for any concerns. Luckily for us we didn’t have any and my stay was great!
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.
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!
Our stay was perfect for our annual get together. We were able to fellowship, eat, and drink in comfort. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The communication with our host was great and timely !
Our stay was short as we were heading to a cruise, but the home was very clean, and the bed I slept in was really comfortable. Such a nice and quiet neighborhood. We would love to come back.
Home was very clean and had everything we needed for a quick night sleep before cruising. Plenty of room for the entire family. Large covered deck with views of the bay.
We had a great time with the family for one last trip before summer is over. Kitchen could use a few more basic items like mixing bowls and cookie sheets, but overall we had a great and relaxing experience.
This house is set up perfectly for a large group or large family! The multiple back patios face the bay and were our go-to place to hang out. There’s a large room with 4 beds, and then a side room off of that with 3 additional beds that made a great kids room, with multiple master suites for adults! We loved how many bathrooms this house had, no one had to fight over a shower!
It's really a 4 bedroom house, with a closet off of one of the bedrooms with 3 stacked twin beds. Luckily one of our families cancelled at the last minute. Also some basic condiments in the kitchen would be helpful, ie. salt, pepper. Other than that the house was comfortable, peaceful with a beautiful view of the bay.
Overall my friends and I enjoyed our stay ash’s will definitely be back in Galveston. The house was beautiful with amazing views, with the cold weather, the house was warm and accommodated all of us well. The only issues I had with the house was some of the burgers of the stove was not working, as well as little to no cooking stencils and supplies. There was an elevated but was shut off for guests to use and the downstairs room held 3 people but they had to leave the room and come out of the house and come up the stairs just to use the restroom and be apart of the rest of the group. It could have been five if they had elevator access but they did not. The host communicated with us throughout the stay and was very attentive. In the future if I stay here again, I’d wish for the elevator to work. :)
