Galveston Gem: Two Homes, Pool & More Amenities

Let the good times roll at Galveston Beach Lodge! This mini-compound has space for 16 people spread out over two homes— the main house in front and the guest suite in the back. This bright and vibrant coastal home is seconds away from the dining and excitement of the Seawall while providing plenty of privacy and peace for your whole crew. In between trips to the beach, take a dip in the pool, relax on the back patio with a cool drink, and grill some dinner on the outdoor barbeque.

A very comfortable and well-appointed location for our family trip. The group included children 4 and up, their parents and aunt and their grandparents. The layout worked well for all of us. The decor was bright and fresh. The kitchen had every pot, pan, and small appliance needed. Highly recommend!

Moody Gardens Event

Stayed at this property as it was 1 mile from a triathlon event at Moody Gardens. Location worked out great.While it sleeps 16, the bathroom set-up is odd in that you must go into 1 of the 2 main bedrooms in the house for access. Bungalow house is a great set-up with own bathroom and kitchenette.
