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!

Salty Sandpiper- Amazing!
I didn’t want to take away from the 5 star AMAZING beach house, the owner is so generous to share. Cleanliness was about a 3-4. The owner provides all the sand toys and things needed to have a wonderful day on the beach! Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Would definitely recommend and love to stay again!

Good location
The best part about this house was the location. Right on the sand and with a private walkover. I had small children so I liked that the balcony was enclosed, and there were no stairs inside the home. I will complain however that the master bedroom door to the balcony had a broken lock. I submitted a claim with the company and they told me the “local team” would be reaching out. But that never happened. So I had kids staying in a house that was not able to lock at night. This made me very unhappy.

The location is perfect! Far enough away from Seawall but close to enough to everything. The house is stunning with large windows and direct beach access. Not enough characters for all the greatness here!

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.

Miserable
No working fridge, in the living area, for our 5 day stay, the area floods with least amount of rain, we had a 1.5 feet of water in the street, we had to drive out in it,,, and the place was a pigsty, sand on the floors, feathers from pillow cushions everywhere, doors were nasty, a/c filter was caving in due to it was so dirty, cig butts and fish parts on deck, ants everywhere, outside and in, we had maybe 2 days of wifi, the rest of the time it was out! We got nothing but excuses, we have asked for a full refund, and plan to take them to claims court if they dont comply!

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

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.

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!
