About this property

Kahala Castle On The Beach

Right ON the beach, not `beach view` or `short walk.` Here, if you`re on the beach and need a bathroom break, you will make it:) Every room has its own private bath. No wandering the hall in a towel infront of family and friends only to find someone else is in the shared bathroom. Elevator gos to each floor, not just the main. Beach is private so no cars rolling up for parties, but if you want a party, just walk up the beach to the public beach and the awesome Tipsy Turtle bar and Grill.

Long weekend getaway

Right on the beach, recently updated and very clean.. Great kitchen and living area with plenty of windows to watch the beach and surf. Elevator made access easy for the heavy stuff. Easy booking, check in and checkout. We come to Galveston every year...sometimes twice...and this is one of the best.properties we've stayed at. We'll be back.

The pictures do not give this property justice. It’s absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Mark has thought of everything one could think of to make his guests happy and comfortable. The access to the beach is second to none. The views are as good as any you’ll find on Galveston Island. The house is incredible in every way. All rooms had extremely comfortable beds and their own bathrooms. It was nice having two full refrigerators and freezers and multiple kitchen tables to eat, play board games, read, etc, all while sitting watching the beautiful view of the beach. The living room and every bedroom had smart TVs that were very easy to operate.The house is so close to everything you would want or need to do in Galveston, including the restaurants and stores. We have stayed at several dozen rental properties over the years and this property truly was one of our top two or three favorites. We will definitely be coming back.

Second stay - best spot in Galveston

This was our second stay here. You won’t find better people to rent from. You can’t beat the location. The beach was quiet. The house has amazing views, right on the water. The house is huge. We love the new (from our last visit) bunk beds. It was clean and has room for everyone. We had bad luck with weather this trip. Two big storms so we were stuck inside the entire time. They have lots of games and puzzles. We had a great family vacation even if the weather wasn’t favorable.

Galveston 2024

Beautiful house with plenty of space overall. The kitchen is very large and VERY well stocked with dishes, pots/pans and utensils. The two refrigerators were a plus. Private bathroom for each bedroom was great. Wonderful views from all the windows facing beach. Enjoyed watching a thunderstorm roll in one night. Our only issue was that the beach access from the house was not as shown in the pictures. Had to rent a golf cart to get elderly folks to the beach.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 30, 2024
We’re so sorry the beach access was an issue. Hurricane Baryl had just eroded our grassy slope the week before and permits on the beach to replace any soil or do any recovery take time. The hurricane is something completely beyond our control, again we’re sorry this created an issue for your elderly guess

This property was so well appointed and maintained. There were 10 of us, from infants to seniors and we had plenty of space. It is located close to town for errands and RIGHT ON THE BEACH! We spent much time on the deck overlooking the ocean, enjoying the sea breeze. The deck is also very safe for little children as the bottom is glassed in.There are erosion problems with all the properties that close to the water, so had to watch your step getting to the sand but so convenient, especially with our babies.The host was amazingly attentive, responsive and over-the-top accommodating from reservation through checkout and beyond. He even tried to help me figure out if I left something after checkout! I highly recommend this property. The pictures do not do it justice! I hope to get this rental every year for my family.

Beautiful beachfront home perfect for a family vacation

This was a beautiful home well maintained on the beachfront near Jamaica beach. The home has been recently renovated, is clean and comfortable with great views. All bedrooms step out to a balcony and you can see the ocean from any floor. The kitchen was well outfitted and had all utensils to cook for a large group or family. Everyone who came to visit while we were there loved the house and we will certainly explore options to rent again. While we were there, the host responded quickly to whatever questions we had and even got back to us when there was an issue with the lift and we could not address it ourselves. He called the property management company and they responded on a Sunday before the Memorial holiday. Impressive customer service. I am very happy to leave this customer review and looking forward to revisiting again soon!

An Amazing Stay!!

This property is awesome! EVERYTHING you would need it here. Fully stocked kitchen, BBQ tools, towels, linens, soaps/shampoo/conditioner, and two fridges. The BBQ grill (Americana Walk-A-Bout Portable Grill w/332 sq inches of cooking space) is charcoal (not provided) and may take a bit longer to BBQ for a larger group. "Bunk Room" sleeps 16 comfortably and all beds are comfortable! Few recommendations if you stay - bunk room can hear all walking from above (closet has multiple fans in it to help mask the noise from above), pack small fan for bunk room bathroom as it's shared by many and it helps, most bathrooms don't have vent fans and will require you to pack room spray, and floor on ground level patio gets slick with humidity (just walk careful). The elevator is so great, for not only unloading all your things, but for anyone who can't do stairs. This opens up the opportunity for everyone to enjoy this house. The beach is so close & private! It's a bit steep while exiting the patio to walk to the beach, however we did find the two "stairs" to the right of the patio (on our last day) that made it so much easier to get to the sand. I would (and want to) stay here again!! Mark is awesome and answers all inquires quickly.

The house is beautiful and well laid out. It was soooooo nice to have an elevator. We basically had the beach to ourselves. I loved that vehicles weren’t allowed (other than authorized workers). It was a little challenging to get down to the beach without steps, but I understand they should have steps in by this fall! (2026)
