Life's a Beach - Beachfront Home

Life's a Beach is a stunning two-story beachfront home located in Kahala Beach subdivision. Enjoy stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico from inside the home and from the large sun deck.

This spacious 3045 sqft home is perfect for large or extended families. Two separate living areas with extra sleeping gives you plenty of space for the whole family.

Beautiful updates throughout the home with a stylish coastal theme means you'll never forget that you're on vacation at the beach!

The large decks offer the perfect spot to watch the waves roll onto shore, enjoy your morning cup of coffee while watching our island famous sunrises or grab a cool beverage to work on your tan in the lounge chairs. The very spacious deck has three tables, ten Adirondack chairs, and four lounge chairs.

The beach is only steps away for endless hours of family fun in the sun. Enjoy a private dune walkover for easy beach access. When you've had enough sand between your toes, rinse off downstairs in the outdoor shower.

The shaded downstairs area is perfect for entertaining, relaxing in the swing or cooking out on the charcoal grill. Enjoy making memories with your family at Life's a Beach!

Beautiful beachfront property with plenty of space for large families

Love this property! The views can’t be beat. Towels provided was appreciated as well as the washer and dryer. Outdoor shower is convenient and water hoses are everywhere to clean off all your gear. I think the first floor at ground level was recently flooded because the smell of mold is strong, but once you go up a level it’s much better.

Clean, great view and easy beach access

The property was as shown in photos, clean, well taken care of and has great views. We had a relaxing time despite the weather! Minor suggestions - there were no beach towels or beach toys. Also no hand soap for the bathrooms and only left enough soap for two loads of laundry and two loads of dishes. With 10 people for four nights it wasn’t enough.

Amazing family vacation

Ours was a multi-generational family reunion. The house is beautiful with multiple views of the ocean, private access to the beach, and great hospitality spaces in the house. We are already planning to return for our family gathering next year. Five stars all around.

Galveston Summer Vacay

As advertised! The first thing you take in are the views of the beach and gulf from the huge bay windows and we were bought in. Very clean and more than enough room for our family. We felt like we had our own private beach with the private walkover bridge. The beach is 30 seconds away! Huge bedrooms & bathrooms w/ great amenities. Only about 25 minutes from Gaido's even during peak traffic! This is a great place for a good sized family getaway.

Fort Worth Canasta Group, April 2021

We were a group of eight ladies there to play Canasta, enjoy the beach, shops, and fabulous seafood. The house was amazing! We got our workout on the stairs and walks on the beach, but probably best after Gaido’s and Willie G’s! The location was perfect, and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to chill out in Galveston. Belinda at GaryGreen’s deserves a huge shout out for all her help! Will definitely return!

Great spot

Enjoyed this property and appreciated the small extras. Only complaint is that the plastic chairs provided for the beach were all broken! We did not expect to have them so they were a surprise amenity- however they should be replaced. All else was great!

Best stay in Galveston

We rented this home for a family and friends gathering. Wow! I can’t say enough about this home-the layout with the windows highlighting the beach view, massive said porch, comfy beds, decorator finishes was amazing! This kitchen is the best stocked one I have ever seen in a rental. So many cute details-lots of magazines and board games. And the beach was fantastic. You do have to being your own chairs and anything down the beach but we’ll worth it. Our only regret was not getting to stay longer!

Galveston

Nice home in a good neighborhood. You enter the house into a warm and musky room that had a very bad smell and crickets in the room. The next 2 floors were nice, except for roaches and dishes that were not the cleanest. The view and the patio were great. There were lots of notes with lots of house rules. Took some of the joy out of the vacation. Quite overboard on what was common sense. The advertised perks were not all accessible. The master fireplace had notes posted about being unusable. The biggest disappointment was notes saying not set the A/C below 71 degrees. We complied but were super uncomfortable every night. Six nights of NOT great sleep because of the room temperature. All of these things should have been voiced before we agreed to the terms of service and paid over 4k for 6 nights. Would never stay here again. Feel pretty duped about the advertising compared to the actual product.

Amazing stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and the owner really put a lot of effort into little details and decor! The patio is large and had more than enough seating for our party of 9 (adults and our teen children). There were plenty of towels and cute little welcome packs of starter amenities. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pots/pans, and all the essentials. The beach isn’t crowded due to it being in a more private area which was nice and the walkway with benches is a great spot to relax and watch the waves. I loved that the TV is upstairs and the main living area has the beautiful beach view! It kept the kids from staring at a TV all day! The furniture is super comfortable. The master bedroom is great!! Crack the door for amazing sounds of the ocean. Really enjoyed the stay!
