No detail has been overlooked in this stately home. The open living and dining spaces have a soothing mix of calming grays, crisp whites, and pops of bright teal. High ceilings, elegant recessed lighting, and tons of natural light add to the airy and spacious feel of the room.
A marble-topped, natural wood island with bar seating, a built-in microwave, and a wine fridge leads into the kitchen. White shaker cabinets and gleaming marble worktops create a luxurious and efficient space to prepare coffee, cocktails, casual lunches, snacks— or a full dinner for the whole crew. Stainless steel appliances and a modern vent hood over the range complete the chic space. Down the hall is a laundry room that leads into a powder room.
There’s one bedroom on the main level that has a king-size bed and an attached full bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms are upstairs. First is the master suite, with a sumptuous king-size bed and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with dramatic tile work. The master suite also has access to a sun-kissed balcony overlooking the bay. The second bedroom has two queen-size beds and an attached full bathroom with a step-in shower, and the third bedroom is a bunk room— with two full-over-full bunks and a double stack of twin-over-twin bunks built into a cozy nook. The bunk room also has its own private full bathroom.
The epic outdoor spaces at this home will draw you outside again and again— to enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, or sip a glass of wine while a pastel pink sunset lights up the sky above you. The main level deck space has two dining tables for hosting memorable alfresco dinners under the stars with the whole family.
On the ground level, there’s even more lounging and dining space— including a barbeque area with a charcoal grill and picnic tables. A dreamy wood walkway winds its way across the shoreline of West Bay and is easily accessible from the home. You’ll want to take many leisurely strolls down this peaceful pathway and perhaps do a little fishing. And when you want to get sandy, Pirates Beach is a 5-minute drive away.
The premier location of this home means that you’re also close to the dining, shopping, and family-friendly excitement of the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier. Pack up your flip flops and book your next getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast at this picture-perfect, peaceful paradise.

Very cool beach style home on the bay! Able to sleep a lot of people. We could have slept our family of 5 in just 1 of the 4 bedrooms.House was very clean and host was extremely responsive. We will definitely be staying if back in the Galveston area.

This is a wonderful property. I expected 5 bedrooms, not 4 and a sleep closet.

We appreciate your review Robert. Our goal is that every guest would have a 5-star experience and when we fall short, we take that feedback very seriously. We will address the concerns you raised with our team.
This the third time our group has stayed at this location. It is located out a short ride from town without the noise. Check-in is easy and the rooms are comfortable. We had nine adults lounging in the living room watching movies and chatting. Plenty of parking for our motorcycles and the chase car. Beautiful views of the inlet. We will probably come here again next year.

The location was amazing! Beautiful view! The family was able to fish off the pier and had an amazing time. The house was a perfect size for a large family.
I took my family down to Galveston for a weekend getaway to visit other family. This house was beautiful and has amazing views. I watched the sunset across the water all weekend. The host was very communicative and always a message or phone call away for any concerns. Luckily for us we didn’t have any and my stay was great!

Galveston stay
The location is great, away from all the busyness. And the view of the water behind the house was nice. The size of the house is great for large groups, other than the living room area. Overall the house is nice, but could use some small but simple improvements.
