Welcome to Anchors Away! This beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach retreat in Galveston, Texas, is perfect for your next family getaway. The outdoor area features a fire pit that’s perfect for making memories, telling stories, or roasting marshmallows. Underneath the home, you’ll find a picnic table and a charcoal grill to cook up your family’s favorite meals!
A convenient ramp leads you right up to the spacious deck and the entry of the home. Inside, you’ll love the open-concept, beautifully decorated living space with a large comfortable sectional perfect for relaxing. There’s a mounted flat-screen TV, and the kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar, gorgeous cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A full bathroom is located right off the kitchen for easy access.

Bedroom 2 also offers a queen bed and full-over-full bunk bed, making it ideal for families. Across the hall are bedrooms 3 and 4, each with a king-sized bed and stunning accent walls, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The second full bathroom includes a stand-up shower, double mirrors, and a beautiful white vanity with marble countertops.
In addition to the well-designed interior, Anchors Away now boasts a new 32-foot pool and a large deck—perfect for soaking up the Texas sun or taking a refreshing swim after a day at the beach. Afterward, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower and gather around the fire pit to wind down your evening.
