About this property

Huge beach house with private boardwalk and gorgeous bay views

Overlooking the tranquil West Bay, this fresh and bright vacation home has enough luxe square footage for even large groups to feel right at home. With two living areas, a barbeque patio, multiple decks overlooking the bay, and private access to the boardwalk— your entire family will quickly become devoted Baydream Believers. Although you’ll be close to the Seawall, beaches, and historic downtown, Baydream Believer is located in one of the quietest, most idyllic neighborhoods in Galveston.

● WINTER TEXAN RATE: Escape to the Texas Gulf Coast this winter! Ask about our reduced monthly rates October 1 - March 1.

● Location: Galveston Bay Club community in Galveston, Texas

● Beach access: A quick 5 minute drive from multiple west-end beaches.

● Community Amenities: Guests have access to the boardwalk winding along the water`s edge, perfect for sunset strolls and fishing.

● Rent BeachBox: Beach gear rentals are available! Ask us for details and rates.

● WIFI/Cable: We provide free high-speed WIFI and Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own streaming service apps.

● Pet Policy: 3 pets are allowed with a $25 fee per pet. Please keep pets off furniture, clean up after them outside, and crate them if left alone indoors.

● Large Groups: We love hosting church groups and large family gatherings, however groups over the size of 14 guests must be approved prior to booking.

● Parking: There is space for up to 6 vehicles.

On the main level, the open living area features high ceilings, recessed lighting, and wood floors. Casual and beachy, the entire room is wide open and ideal for large groups and families. Outside through the glass door is a private oasis overlooking the tranquil bay waters— with plenty of seating and space to lounge.

In the kitchen, stylish shaker cabinets are topped with sparkling marble countertops. There’s tons of storage and space to work here— from brewing the morning coffee to preparing an elaborate dinner for the whole crew. You’ll have everything you need and more. A spacious island has casual bar seating for early morning pancakes or post-beach afternoon snacks. Classic white subway tiles and stainless steel appliances add a chic feel to the space. There’s a half bathroom off the kitchen as well as the master suite with a spacious full bathroom and closet, king-size bed and private access to the first level deck overlooking the bay.

Upstairs, an open lofted living area is a great hangout space. Outside is a soaring third-level deck space with panoramic views of the bay. Four more bedrooms provide plenty of flexible sleeping space. The first and second bedrooms have a king-size bed. A third bedroom has two queen-size beds set side-by-side, and the fourth bedroom is a bunk room with two twin-over-full-size bunks and a twin trundle bed. There’s also a large full bathroom and laundry room.

Located on a quiet, curved lane, Baydream Believer is the peaceful Texas Gulf getaway you’ve been daydreaming about. Enjoy quiet mornings overlooking the bay while you sip your morning coffee. Bring your fishing gear and catch your dinner right from the private boardwalk— then grill it on the barbeque.

When your gang is ready to hit the beach, you’re only a quick drive away from the sugary sands of the Gulf of Mexico. And the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Seawall and historic downtown Galveston are a short hop away. Become a Baydream Believer— and make this stunning waterfront villa your new home-away-from-home on the coast.

What a great house - lots of space and 2 great decks. And, real grass to walk our dogs on which is always a plus. The location in the bay was quiet and your neighbors are not right on top of you. It was easy to get back to the Galveston activities too. We all enjoyed walking on the walkway and watching the birds. We would definitely go back for a relaxing visit.

Only issue was the strong winds on Sunday and Monday were so strong that the house swayed and moved and the wind caught spots on the exterior that made the loudest whistling and whining noise that it was nearly impossible to sleep at night. Other than that, it was fine.

The house was beautiful and very spacious. Cleanliness was a bit of a concern. It wasn’t super dirty. I just wished they swept, vacuum and mopped the floor a lot better that it was done. Upon arrival I had to do all of that to make sure my baby did not pic up anything off the floors. Outside of the cleaning beautiful place.
