About Diane Blackwelder
Blake and Diane built this house just before Ike and the house had no real damage. It is the most beautiful location on earth. Blake is an exploration geologist with the 7th largest oil company (no not BP) and Diane is a Speech Pathologist. We have two girls at University (one graduated from St Edwards and is applying to medical school and one at U. of Montana Missoula). Diane specializes in adopting special need greyhounds.
Why Diane Blackwelder chose Texas
Clear waters of the offshore Gulf come into the Pass giving the area especially clear blue water and lots of shells/sand dollars accumulate on this end of the barrier island. The ends of barrier islands are great places for fish, birds, and beautiful sand dunes. The far away lights across the pass are beautiful at night and provide a view that other areas do not have at night. We built within a community but it is quiet because we have no immediate neighbors.
What makes this house unique
This house is in a quiet family area. It is the last house on a dead end road that stops at the beach, with an empty lot to one side. The beach has limited access so there are never lots of people on the beach. Sunrise comes up across the Gulf and is a beautiful sight from the kitchen, dining room, and front porch. Patches of yellow and orange flowers cover dunes around the house seasonally.

Fabulous place to relax and enjoy the beach!
We booked a 5-night stay with our 3 adult sons and their plus-one's. What a great beach house! Exquisitely equipped chef's kitchen, plenty of space to spread out. Besides the beach itself, our favorite hangout place was on the 4 big rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the water. Definitely rent a golf cart (they delivered it right to the house) and explore up and down the beach. A shout out to Reel Men Fishing Charters out of Galveston Yacht Basin--showed us a great time and we came back with a ton of speckled trout. This beach house was a very clean, quiet, comfortable place to have some great down time with family. Loved walking up and down the beach collecting sea shells and flying kites like a bunch of kids! Would definitely do it again!

Beautiful, spacious, clean beachfront house - Completely exceeded expectations!
My husband and I (and our dog) spent a long weekend at Blake And Dianne's house with our friends and their 2 year old son. The house was absolutely amazing, cool (AC), comfortable, well stocked with cooking utensils (pans, coffee maker, blender, etc), and spacious. The beach right in front of the house had some great sea shells for collecting as you walk toward San Luis Pass (slightly north). There is also a beach access at the south end of the neighborhood that is good for walking (headed south) and swimming. I think some of the most fun we had was crabbing (or our version of crabbing). The owners talked about crabbing in the "things to do" suggestions. We had absolutely no idea how to go "crabbing" but got $3 crabbing nets and chicken necks from the Seven Seas market. Even just out by the rocks in front of the house, we were able to catch a few blue crabs! (I'm sure this isn't the proper way to go crabbing, but we were just catching and releasing) Overall I would definitely come back!! We had a great time!
Beach rental
This was the best beach house ever. All the amenities that you need to cook and share with your family is included. The house was clean,, a toilet in each room with access of one from the kitchen. Pots and pan wee available. You are 30 feet from the beach. We want crabbing, but the neighbors got them before us ;). The kids really enjoyed the beach as well as the adults. I felt very safe in the property.
You will not want to leave ! I promise you that !
I had just finished a 42 day hitch Offshore in South America and was looking to restfully decompress and I most certainly found it with this property.
I was attracted to the property because of the vast amount of positive reviews in addition to presence of a handicap ramp which thought would fascilitate my senior canine getting in and out of the house and it most certainly did.
The panoramic view from this house is staggering. When we arrived the temps were in the low 70s and the blue water was running all the way into the San Luis pass. The locals call this location the "Bluff" because of its amazing elevated view of the Gulf extending into the San Luis Pass.
We rented a golf cart from K-6 rentals in Jamaica beach and they delivered it to the house . We had quite the time cruising the beach , neighborhood , and San Luis Pass park which has an entry across the Bluewater highway from the neighborhood.
The Blackwelders were so very accomodating and such a delight .The house was stocked with everything twice over and extremely clean .
So definitely rent this place , rent a golf cart , and enjoy the awesome view.
We will be back soon !!
Spacious, clean, water front property with amazing seashell hunting!
We had a great week! We enjoyed the beach and the deck every day! We liked that it was away from the touristy areas and quiet. Our son loved the beach and all his seashells he found! We would come back with family next time! Thank you for letting us use your amazing home for the week!
Perfect spot for vacation!
Very comfortable home right on the water. Quiet area with sandy beaches nearby. Fishing is available, although it was unseasonably cold during our stay. Watched sunrise while sipping coffee in the mornings. Galveston is close enough to enjoy, while far enough away to ward off crowds. Every room in the house is comfortable. Kitchen was fantastic and well appointed - every convenience of home. Wireless internet and satellite tv were a welcome touch. We grilled out most evenings, and the grill and propane were a great benefit. Owners were great to work with and quick to reply to questions. We will definitely return to this property!
