You can't get much closer to the Gulf Coast than this absolutely adorable, dog-friendly house on Galveston Island - complete with a full kitchen, balcony, furnished patio with incredible view, and easy beach access right out your back door.

This multi-level, three-bedroom rental is just a couple blocks away from Termini-San Luis Pass Road, one mile up from Galveston Island State Park for hiking, birdwatching and swimming, and only 12 miles from the historic heart of Galveston for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Bright, inviting, and thoroughly updated, this beachfront home has hardwood floors, colorful furnishings and accents, and numerous windows offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the water.

Feel instantly at ease in the upstairs living room with plush leather furniture, multiple ceiling fans, a warming electric fireplace, access to a private balcony with a romantic porch swing, and, of course, spectacular views through a wall of large, Gulf Coast-facing windows.

On the lower level (down a spiral staircase), there's a seating area, a dining area for six, and an open, fully-equipped kitchen with a host of essential accessories. You'll have a variety of top-of-the-line, stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator with an ice maker, a range, microwave oven, coffee maker, and dishwasher. A gas grill is also available if you want to fire it up and have an old-fashioned family cookout.

Two bedrooms are located on the first level of this home, including the master bedroom with a queen-size bed and private access out to the patio. On this same floor, the first guest room has two twin-over-twin built-in bunk beds, perfect for younger visitors. The living room has a queen-size sofabed for additional accommodations as well.

Upstairs, the third bedroom has a sturdy full-over-twin bunk. With three bedrooms, a sofabed, and two full baths, this home sleeps up to 11 guests (six adults) quite comfortably. Up to two family dogs (25 lb weight limit) are also welcome to join you during your stay for an additional nightly fee.

This home comes with WiFi so everyone can get online with ease. With three cable TVs, a DVD player, and access to a media library, you can keep up with all your favorite shows or program your very own movie nights (don't forget the popcorn)! A private washer/dryer is also included to let you start each day with fresh, clean clothes.

Spend some time out on the furnished patio watching the pelicans soar past or grab the provided beach chairs from the garage and take a stroll over to the nearby beach for a day of sunbathing and swimming.

Make arrangements for an off-shore or deep sea fishing excursion through one of the many local marinas, or take the whole family up to Moody Gardens with its unique pyramid pavilions, gigantic, MG 3D movie theater, and rotating exhibits all just nine miles away.

An ideal getaway for any reason or season, reserve this quaint, waterfront home with us today and get ready for a magical adventure along the Gulf Coast.

Perfect Getaway!
We absolutely loved our visit here! The views and unbeatable so if you're looking for a true oceanfront home, this is it! Sitting on that porch swing while sipping a beverage with my husband on our 15th anniversary is a new core memory for me. We will definitely be back!

Great getaway!!!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay with our fur babies. Sitting on the porch swing on the 3rd floor and just relaxing and watching the ocean. 20 second walk from the beach and the large patio is great to just hangout on. We will be back!

Great location
The location is the selling point for this property. Steps away from the beach, we were able to watch the family play in the water from our porch, or from inside the house in the AC. The house itself is fine, but could be a bit cleaner, and I killed a giant roach in the kitchen. But overall a good choice for families.

Perfect spot right on the beach.
This place is literally right on the beach with amazing views from the deck. Beach access is 50 yards from the front door. Also, the beach is only used by the neighborhood, so it doesn’t get crowded and feels very private. House was very clean and enough space for two families.

This property is always about the view. Everything else is just so-so. However, we will be back. On the upside, first time in years I have been able to get the door code for entry to work. Yay for the small things.

A dream vacation house and location
It was sort of the vacation location you dream of. A nice house practically on the beach with beautiful ocean waves slapping up against the sandy beach. It was also very peaceful and quiet with a relatively few of amount of people… just enough to know that you’re not alone. Of course we walked along the beach a few times but spent most of our time telling stories and laughing while hearing and watching the ocean and the seagulls… a perfect backdrop! We are definitely going back next year!

Great location and views, but the place is very dusty and there are huge cockroaches inside. Beddings were very clean though, so it was nice.

Great Location
We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean. Location is fabulous. Neighborhood is quiet and everyone is friendly. This inside space was tight but it worked because most of our time was spent outdoors. The only complaint I would have would be the ants which appeared on the third night from the sideboards and flooring. Lots of ants living in the wood flooring.

83 camels
Lovely beach house for us as a couple. The kids rooms will be a bit tight, but the excitement of the kids getting to play on the beach will tire them out. The house is right on the beach which is very convenient, sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. As a retired Merchant Mariner the upstairs living room made me feel like I was on the wheelhouse of a ship. Bring binoculars and beach chairs. About the title of the review, I think we counted 83 different camels in the house, but we may have missed some. Game on!

This house has the best location. Right on the beach with the most amazing views. Sunrise and sunsets and all day viewing. Great porches and outdoor seating. Spent the week outside on the porch. Home is older and smaller inside but perfect for our family of 5. Kitchen was great and had all that we needed. Needs a really good cleaning as it was very dusty. Needs additional bedding but had a great stack of bath towels! Lots of sand toys in garage for kids to play with. Bring pillows and extra blankets. Bring your own cleaning spray. The location is the winner for this house. Beautiful porches and view.

peaceful weekend getaway.
The only negative thing I have to report is the inadequate description of how to access the property. I have stayed at similar properties on dozens of occasions and had never had a problem until this one. (Getting in took over half an hour). Will be going back to this house in June but don't anticipate any problems then. Beyond that our stay was wonderful.

Ok place: several pros, some cons
The place is cute and right next to the beach, we left our stuff on the sand and came back for meals and bathroom breaks. The deck is great for a morning coffee and lunches. If you plan to be outside taking in nice weather, its a very nice place. Many beds available, and a great view from the 2nd story common room and balcony. The bathrooms are a bit small to share with a whole family traveling, but doable. The couple roaches we saw were off-putting, but hopefully management takes care of that asap. Had to buy laundry soap. Unfortunately, the biggest con was that we found the beds to be quite creaky and uncomfortable. The kids slept fine, but us adults did not sleep so well. A little updating and maintenance, and this would be a very nice spot for a small family to stay.

Great Location with Okay Accomodations
Could not beat the view and the closeness of the beach, we were basically on the beach! The house was surface clean, but had some dirty floors and corners, and a bit of a musty smell. It is a very unusual layout with the kitchen downstairs, living room upstairs and only one “adult” bed, all others are bunks. It was not the best for a girls trip (6 middle aged women) but would be great for a family with 3-5 kids. You could make it work for more adults just not the most comfortable sleeping arrangements and not the best for hanging out in one big room, but great for hanging out on the porch. Overall I would recommend because the view and beach makes it worth it!

Great location - lacking amenities
Loved the location - right on the beach. It had wonderful views from the house - porches were amazing. We were greatly disappointed that the master bedroom did not have a TV - and the downstairs rooms did not have cable. The only cable TV available was in the upstairs living room. I was also shocked that the house did not have a washer/dryer. For a beach location, this is one thing that is definitely disappointing.

Looking forward to staying here again!
We wanted a peaceful getaway in an oceanfront house and that’s what we got! Location and views were wonderful, house was clean and well stocked. I deducted one star because the instructions to unlock the lockbox to get the keys didn’t match up to the actual lockboxes there. I had to text for help and eventually someone called me to troubleshoot and we eventually got in. To Vacasa’s credit, they were responsive, which I really appreciated. Once we got in the house, the weekend was amazing. The only other issue we had was the bathtub drain upstairs wouldn’t drain for some reason. The downstairs bath worked fine. Despite the setback when we first arrived, everyone enjoyed the house and agreed that we’d stay there again!
