There is no place quite like Galveston Island when it comes to endless beach days and crashing waves. Make your way to Salty Sandpiper, and you will feel like a local in no time, perched right on the sand and within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shops that make this area so special. Enjoy a coveted location on Karankawa Beach, a quiet beach with restricted vehicle access on the sand, leaving it very tranquil. The spacious deck offers plenty of seating and uninterrupted water views, while the yard is ideal for family-friendly games and features a swing-up bar.

Inside, the wall of windows allows ample natural light to fill the entire living area, and everyone will love kicking back on the sectional for movie nights in front of the fireplace. The best homecooked meals can be prepared in the stylish full kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a large prep island with an additional cooktop, fun blue cabinetry, coffee maker, dishwasher, and wine fridge. Everyone can stay connected with the provided high-speed WiFi, and salty swimsuits won't be a worry with the private washer and dryer available.

You will be hard-pressed to find a better getaway here on Galveston Island, so book your stay while this gem lasts!

This is a great house. We had 2 families and the layout suited the number of people. The private bridge to the beach was great! Quiet yet a good proximity to restaurants.

Beautiful Views
We loved the house. It was a perfect size for our group of 6. The views from inside and on the deck were endless. The house was very clean. Even the baseboards. The beds were super comfy.

Beach sunrises 🌅
Our visit was outstanding. Right on the beach, hose to rinse off sandy feet. Beach is wide open and quiet without any vehicles allowed in this part. A couple of questions about the house - locks, etc. were quickly answered. Would come back again for longer!

Stick with VRBO
The home and property are very nice. Unfortunately this property is managed by Vacasa. We lost our AC and tried to get Vacasa to help. A day later we've heard nothing. We had to leave early and get a hotel due to the heat.

Perfect location, atmosphere, and house! Decorations were tastefully simple and house was stocked with all the essentials. Kitchen had all the tools we needed to feel right at home. And the view was even more breathtaking than in the pictures. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Ocean Retreat
This was absolutely a wonderful place. The location is about 15 mins from downtown Galveston. Close enough to pop in and enjoy the town but far enough that the beach is so quiet; at times we felt like the only ones on there. The house is literally on the beach and has convenient access to a small convenience mart with groceries and gas. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside. It was well stocked and had everything we could ask for. The beds were so comfortable in every room. There was a closet full of games and beach gear. I can’t say enough good things about this place. You’ll love it, we loved it.

It was great. Only problem was the gas grill. When I started to roll it out of garage the legs collapsed due to rust. I had brought a small one from home so no problem. We will be back! Rand in Houston

Excellent!
This was an absolutely fantastic rental! The house was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. The location is perfect; the beach is steps from the house. The house had plenty of dishes, cookware, and towels. There were sand toys for the kids to use on the beach, beach chairs, and a wagon to transport things to and from the beach. We had 5 kids and 4 adults stay with plenty of room. There was a pack 'n play and high chair available for use. We had a great time and would highly recommend!

Perfect house for families
We have stayed in many beach rentals and this one was by far the cleanest and most well equipped houses! The beds were all very comfortable and I appreciate the fact there were extra pillows on the beds! The decor was beautiful and there were plenty of seating options for the entire family. My only “complaint” or rather observation was there was not alot of shelf space in the pantry to put food items and we could never figure out how to turn on the downstairs lights in the back of the house by the picnic table and swing chairs. All in all, it was a great house we are already planning when we can come back!

Perfect Beach House!!
This beach house was perfect for our family! The open concept was great and allowed us interact with everyone. We enjoyed playing cards, games, and reading as a family when were were not outside enjoying the beach. The wrap around porch was super nice and very large. The view of the ocean was out of this world. The kitchen was stocked with all of the necessary essentials. The garage had all the beach toys you needed for little kids and big adults; chairs, washers, horseshoes, toy wagon, fribees. footballs. floats. boogie boards, kites, small cooler, etc. The second refrigerator in the garage was an added bonus. We had plenty of room for cold food and drinks. I plan to use this house again. Thank you Karen and Roger for creating this lovely home to share with us.

Great for little kids
Was amazing to drink my coffee on deck in early mornings while kids played in sand just below. Love the proximity to beach and it was a portion where you can't drive vehicles so the kids were safer. Also, the owners had a ton of sand toys and umbrella and wagon for the beach so we only had to bring our necessities vs all of the normal beach stuff!
