Summer Wind, Beachfront with incredible views! 5 miles from Galveston sea wall!

Rooms were good and clean. Nice linens, plenty of towels. Comfortable furniture and good wi-fi.

This is our second year at Summer Wind for a family vacation with our grown sons and their girlfriends, my mother, and sister in law. We do a yearly vacation together, but decided last year to always rent Summer Wind. This year we celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday, and it could not have been more special!!

The house is about 100 steps to the water, and the 180 degree views from the living room and deck are amazing! The house is comfortable- beds, large dining table/chairs and living room seating.

The kitchen is large and has all the dishes and cooking items we needed. The central air works great. The cable has a LOT of channels and is in all the rooms, and worked the whole time we were there!! (Unusual sometimes on this part of the island) The WiFi reception is great. Having 2-1/2 bathrooms is very convenient for a larger group like ours. There’s a private shower outside also, and we never ran out of hot water. Inside is split level which is great if you have anyone with problems with lots of stairs.

The deck has plenty of comfortable chairs, a dining table and loungers, plus a wood picnic table and hammock. It has a gate to contain your dog if you’re outside relaxing. We love the double level deck (plus the third level balconies for the ocean facing bedrooms). The cable deck railings are safe for children and pets, and provide unobstructed views while seated. The lower deck is huge, and mostly covered in case of rain or too much sun.

We’ve rented houses at Pirates Beach for 25-30 years and this is our favorite house ever! The homeowner John is a phone call away if you have any questions and is the friendliest owner we’ve ever rented from.

You won’t go wrong renting this house.

Comfortable, well appointed house right on the beach. Wrap around picture windows afford the best view of the water in Galveston. This is our second time to rent this house and we want to come back.

When we arrived the house had not been cleaned from previous renters. House is in need of some attention and much needed updates. We ended up getting another place due to lack of attention on things.

Owner was very attentive on being concerned. But when you plan a vaca for family and ends up in a mess as this its, hard to move 7 people around. I will not rent from a non managed home again. The pictures need to be updated on website. Theres homes everywhere now and the beach is not as shown. Very disappointing. TH

3rd time for us to rent this house on the beach. We loved it! The sunsets, sunrise and just lounging outside with the views is worth it all. Being directly on the beach hearing the roar of the waves, other vacationers on the beach laughter and music- ours and theirs was perfect. Plenty of room inside and out.
