Why the Owner Chose Galveston
As a Realtor, I know the drill - Location, Location, Location. When I came across the opportunity to acquire the property our home is built on, I jumped at the chance because I recognized just how rare and special it is. Truth be told, after watching the sunset from the lot as we were considering our purchase, there was no turning back. To have the combination of Bayviews, a Beach right outside our backdoor and the ability to have a private Boat Dock - well, that was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
After acquiring the land, we set about designing a home that would maximize the views, be spacious enough for large family get togethers AND still be cozy enough for a romantic getaway. Fortunately, we think we've accomplished all that beyond our wildest dreams.
The Unique Benefits at this House
At the risk of repeating myself, this truly is a 1-of-a-Kind location. There is not another vacation home on the island that offers a panoramic view, beach AND boat dock!
Come stay at our vacation home soon, we're sure you will agree!
each pyramid offers a different adventure. My kids love the "hands on" aquarium, Butterfly Forest & Imax theatre the best. If you're here for the holidays, the light display is phenomenol!
I've never been on this ride across the expansive Houston Ship channel without seeing playful dolphins.

Thank you. The house is beautiful and we had a great time. We had one 3 year old with us, who loved the private beach and all of the hermit crabs that he could catch! It is a beautiful location. We fished, rented kayaks, and just sat under the house, which always had a great breeze. I cannot think of anything that would make the house more enjoyable.

We stayed at Almost Paradise from June 5 - June 9, 2009. It was "almost paradise"! All our children and grandchildren were able to come, and we had plenty of room. The kids fished off the dock and swam at the beach beside the house. The house was spaceous, clean, and open. I loved being able to see the bay from all the bedrooms! I would highly recommend this rental.

The stay at your home in Galveston was simply amazing! Everyone in the family enjoyed the spacious rooms and wonderful views. There are no complaints about the accommodations, and eventually the weather also co-operated to make the views even more breathtaking. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy some quality time with our two daughters and their families, we hope to make this an annual event.
