Resort experience on the West End with stunning sunsets over the Bay
With stunning views and the best amenities on the island you will reach tranquility the moment you step through the door. Your stay includes access to the best concierge on the island, golf cart, and various indoor/outdoor games. Our goal is for you to leave feeling relaxed and full of memories. Access to the beach club and pools requires a $25/per person fee for the duration of your stay. Kids 4 and under are free. This fee is paid directly to the club, separate from your reservation.
The Tranquil Turtle is an idyllic retreat! With its spacious layout and plethora of amenities, it's sure to provide an unforgettable experience for families and friends seeking relaxation and fun. From the moment you step through the door you will be greeted by stunning views of the Bay and Wetlands. The convenience of the fully stocked kitchen and the expansive outdoor living space has been designed for comfort and enjoyment.
The beach club and pools, accessible for a nominal fee ($25/per person over the age of 4, for the duration of your stay) can provide more relaxation and entertainment options during your stay.
Spend your morning sipping coffee from the stocked Keurig, drip machine or French press and then indulge in a bit of culinary creativity with the well-equipped kitchen. The outdoor deck, with its mosquito misting system and various seating areas, offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining, grilling up some Texas surf and turf, or simply soaking in the breathtaking bay sunsets.
The layout of the Tranquil Turtle, with its main gathering spaces on the first floor and 6 bedrooms, including one detached primary suite, is ideal for accommodating different preferences and activities. Whether you prefer to gather for movie nights in the spacious living room, stargaze from the sun deck using the telescope, or engage in some friendly competition with the assortment of outdoor games, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
The Tranquil Turtle is the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and fun, ensuring that you will leave feeling rejuvenated and full of cherished memories!

The house is stunningly beautiful with a nice decor. It’s is also peaceful for after a day at the beach or whatever activities that you like to enjoy. Kristen is a great host, and I would definitely would stay in her house again.
The property can fit a large group and is part of a community with many activity options along with indirect beach access. The sunsets views over the bay from the back porch were very popular with the family. We used the beach access close by where we could park our cars right next to us, a helpful perk since we had older grandparents with us. We enjoyed the local community clubhouse and pools for a break from the beach. Host was very thorough, helpful, and checked in mid-stay to ensure we were comfortable. We would definitely consider the property again for a future family vacation.
The Tranquil Turtle is such a beautiful home and perfect gathering place! We have never stayed in such a well stocked home--it had everything we needed and more, including beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, and the six-seater golf cart, Sunny. This home gives the best of both worlds in Galveston. While it sits on the bay with stunning sunset and night sky views from both decks, Sunny the golf cart offers easy access to the beach side in just a short and pleasurable drive. We made wonderful memories playing in the surf and night time walks at the beach. We screamed in laughter when we watched creepy crabs scuttle across our flashlight beam at night, and stood in awed wonder as the moon rose out of the ocean glowing RED! It was surreal! We explored the bay--it is very shallow and walkable for a long way. We caught and released blue crabs and various fish. We saw many varieties of birds, hermit crabs, and fish. We even walked the bay at night for a thrill because it comes alive with all kinds of fish and crabs to net and observe in a bucket with the children.
The home is expansive with perfect accommodations for everyone--even roll away beds with very comfortable mattresses. We love the privacy each room offered and the cozy beds. The Cabana house offers a perfect spot for extra privacy. Under the house is perfect for hammocking. Owners were easy to reach and very friendly. Concierge even picked up grocery order and stocked the home before our arrival! Perfection!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. This home became part of a holiday memory our family will never forget. It was the perfect backdrop for celebrating together and spending meaningful time as a family. The space was comfortable, well maintained, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, which made the entire experience seamless and stress free. We would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a special place to create lasting memories, and we would gladly stay again.
Great location, room for a large group, more than enough beach and kitchen items to minimize what you need to pack! Would certainly rent this house again!
This is a lovely property. The house is laid out nicely with bedrooms/bathrooms and joint living spaces. The kitchen is fantastic and amazingly well stocked. The outside fireplace w/ TV was lots of fun to play games. While a bit of a drive to Galveston, it travels quickly and is a pretty drive. Enjoyable getaway for 2 families with older kiddo's.
This house was amazing. The owners thought of everything. It was clean, and nicely decorated. The golf cart came in handy getting to the beach club. Lots of nice dishes, pans, and extras. We really enjoyed our stay. There were 13 of us, and we made lots of nice memories here. Kristen was great at answering our questions promptly. Beautiful area.
Exceptionally large, very clean, updated house. It was large enough to wander around and not get tired of seeing the same people. Private beach-nice. In our 48 years of renting, we've never had a well stocked house like this. I didn't have to bring any kitchen utensils!
My only disappointment is that the beautiful deck did not have working electricity. We usually spent a lot of time on the deck but it was just too hot and still.
Bikes were a nice added touch.
This house is excellent in that it provides a quiet Street for the kids to take adventures. The cabana is a perfect spot for the guest to wants to get away from it all. Everything that we needed was provided and the golf cart was over the top fun for us to see the area
