First Row - Perfect Retreat for Relaxation and Cherished Memories!

Escape to paradise at our stunning beachfront getaway, where the soothing sounds of the waves and breathtaking ocean views await you. Nestled right on the sand, our beach house is the perfect destination for families, friends, and couples looking to unwind, reconnect, and create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee while watching the sunrise, hosting a lively meal in the gourmet kitchen, or relaxing on the expansive deck with the Gulf breeze in your hair, every moment here is pure bliss. Step into your dream vacation and let the beauty of the beach wash your worries away! The beachfront retreat is located in the peaceful and private neighborhood of Galveston’s West End. This exquisite 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is the perfect destination for families and friends seeking a serene escape surrounded by natural beauty.

Relax and soak in the stunning ocean views from our spacious deck, designed for uninterrupted enjoyment of the coastal scenery. The open-concept, remodeled kitchen invites you to create delicious meals while staying connected with your group. Start your mornings with magnificent sunrise views that fill your heart with tranquility.

Accommodating up to 11 guests (ten on beds and one on the living room couch), this property provides ample space for comfort and connection. The airy interior is perfect for gathering, while the two large outdoor picnic tables make al fresco dining a breeze. The remodeled kitchen boasts sleek granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, making meal preparation a delightful experience.

Stay connected and entertained with TVs featuring live streaming and popular apps in four of the bedrooms, plus high-speed internet throughout the house. For added convenience, the layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, accessible via an outdoor stairway. The downstairs area is ideal for a second family or guests preferring minimal stairs, with each bedroom having its own private outdoor entrance. Note that the downstairs bathroom is en-suite to one bedroom, requiring shared access through this room.

Create cherished family moments with board games available in the cabinets, and enjoy the convenience of storage space for your beach toys and boats. We also provide beach essentials, including toys, boogie boards, and chairs, for your enjoyment. After a day of fun, rinse off in the outdoor shower equipped with hot and cold water.

Located in the charming beachside community of Acapulco Village on Galveston’s West End, this home offers spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico and an atmosphere of pure relaxation.

We welcome one housebroken, well-behaved dog (up to 50 pounds) to join your vacation. Please ensure your pet is flea- and tick-free, and remember to adhere to Galveston County’s leash laws. Dogs should be crated if left unattended and must accompany you when you leave the property. A $20 nightly pet fee applies, and exceptions to the one-dog policy can be discussed with us in advance.

To enhance your stay, our property includes an outdoor grill, picnic tables, and ample amenities for beach outings. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck or exploring the tranquil surroundings, this home offers the ultimate beachfront escape.

Please note that Galveston Island’s tropical environment comes with a variety of insects. Regular pest control treatments are conducted to ensure your comfort.

We are here to answer any questions you may have. For more information about local attractions and activities, visit www.visitgalveston.com. We look forward to hosting your extraordinary vacation filled with relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
