About this property
The Elissa
We had a full-time tenant in 2024 and our house is back with VRBO. Updated photos! All new flooring and paint. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in fantastic Pirates Beach, this stunning new home is a 7 minute walk to the beach. Inside you will find 3 bedrooms - one king (guest bedroom), one king (master bedroom) and one guest bedroom with twin single beds and full bed. A couch in the living room folds out to sleep 2, bringing the maximum number of people to 10. Two bedrooms have a large wall mounted TV (48") and another large TV is in the living room. (Netflix is provided). There are 2 bathrooms in the house, and a shower located downstairs. Free Wi-fi. The gourmet kitchen has corian countertops, stainless steel appliances and all kitchen utensils are provided as well. There is a large washer and dryer and linens are provided. There is a wonderful patio to enjoy the Gulf breezes and a new BBQ grill (charcoal) downstairs. The Elissa is conveniently located close to many Galveston restaurants and attractions including Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Pleasure Pier, and the Historic Stand District. Our beach home is intended for the quiet enjoyment of our guests. Minimum rental age is 28 and adults cannot rent this property on behalf of underage guests. Absolutely no smoking or pets.

Nice and quiet neighborhood! Great communication. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Close to the beach. Pirates Beach is not crowded at all. Far enough away from all the hustle and bustle but close enough to get to all the attractions.
Property is beautiful, well furnished and taken care of…would definitely stay there again! Communication with the owner was extremely easy and informative.
Brand new property located in the rear of Pirates Beach. We had a great time, and the home more than met our expectations. We appreciate the owner (Greg) communicating with us through out the process as well as a speedy return of the deposit money.
We look forward to working with Greg in the future.

Great Location
It's a beautifully decorated house. Great proximity to the beach. Nice and quiet neighborhood. I would recommend that the house have blinds and curtains placed in the living room/dining room area to help keep the house cooler and to help with the bright sunlight. I would also recommend having some hooks/clothesline available to provide a place to hang towels and swim suits.
My family and I had an awesome stay at this property. From booking, check in, the stay, and check out was super easy and flawless. The house is super nice. It was clean and the furnishings are great. This house is stocked with anything you may need! This is by far one of the nicest rentals I have encountered. You will be happy you chose this rental, don't hesitate, rent it!!
The stay was super smooth and stress free. This property is stocked with everything you could possibly ever need. All the beds were super comfortable for everyone and we really enjoyed our evening walks. We will definitely be booking again next year!
Owner was responsive. The home was clean. It is in the back of the neighborhood which we knew upon booking. The fridge didn’t cool very well and dryer took several cycles to dry small loads. Otherwise all was well. Thank you!
The pictures of this very clean house don’t do it justice. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were plenty of towels. Quiet neighborhood and a very quick golf cart ride to the beach. We loved riding around in the rented golf cart to the neighborhood store and to enjoy the evenings. You can walk to the beach if you want. Beach was never crowded. Host was quick to answer any questions. We will definitely be back. I would not hesitate to rent this house.
We loved the place and had a nice trip it is clean and well stocked-it was our second time staying there - only one minor complaint the pet hair-I’m not a pet owner so would rather not have to deal with that at all getting on our clothes and things. Other than that another great stay.
Had a wonderful stay with our family here. The pictures don’t do the place justice. It is very cozy and clean and had everything you need! We flew in from Denver and didn’t have to buy and extra supplies for the home from toiletries, cooking supplies or extra towels. The walk to the beach may be a little long for younger kids but was fine for my 10 yr-16yr olds. Location was super close to great convenience store (that had many grocery/food items) and beer/liquor, as well as a fresh seafood market and pizzeria next door. You don’t have to travel into town often if you don’t want to! The owner was great with communication and helpful with any questions we had. The neighbors were also very kind and friendly as well. Overall, a great experience and the place was super roomy and beds were very comfortable!
This was our second stay in this property. Gregg is great to work with and this house certainly met our needs. Great house/great service makes for great trip!!
