The luxurious neighborhood has its own entrance to the beach by foot or you can park directly on the beach using Access Point #16 at 13 Mile road, no permit required. It is a short 3-4 minute walk to the sand!

We use a mosquito spray service that uses a non-toxic solution on the vegetation to reduce the amount of pests around the property.

If you need any additional supplies, food, or drink there is a convenient Dollar General located just across the road from the neighborhood entrance.

The Beach Bandit offers the best of the beach and backyard pool time to get the most out of your stay!

Perfect place for family of all ages
We had a great experience at the house! Everything from the rooms to the communication with the host was great. The pool was perfect for all of us ranging from an infant to 60+ years of age. The teenage boys loved it! The lounge chairs, outside shower, and "water toys" available were super. And the ocean is just a short walk. The house had plenty of room so we did not feel crowded at all! We will be back!

Beach 2024
We shared our beach time with the rain but that did not dampen our fun. The great supply of wagons and chairs and toys were put to good use. The number of bedrooms were ideal for our family and Scott was most helpful in heating the pool for more fun. Highly recommend the Beach Bandit.

Perfect for family vacation
I wish I could give more stars for each section. Especially for communication with property manager and overall rating. The timing of our stay was right after a hurricane that cause devastation to the area. But the host (Scott) stay in constant contact with me and he worked very hard to prepare for our stay. He assured me there wouldn’t be any issues preventing us from staying, and there wasn’t. There was never a moment where I was left waiting to hear from him. His responsiveness was top tier, and the property matched it. The home was perfect for eight adults and there was still room for more! The dining table hosted all of us for meals and the pool was the dessert with a cherry on top. Everything you need is close by that’s makes the location perfect for a vacation. From a short short walk to the beach, a short walk to a general store, and even a short drive to Wal-Mart. I would 100% stay here again. 10/10!!

The house could not have been better. The short walk or drive to beach is perfect. Quiet, private beach was a plus. The pool is large and back patio is huge and seats a lotnof people. Nice chairs at pool and the entire experience was great. Will book again if we go to Galveston.

Great!
This home was well appointed, all the amenities you need, well located, clean, and the host was super responsive! So close to a stroll or power walk on the beach. Close to dinner out or a bring home pizza. The pool and hot tub were warm and luxurious. Our girlfriend group of 7 celebrated our 60th here and it couldn’t have been better. This place is perfect for family or friend gatherings. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!

The incredible beach house!
We had an incredible stay at this property! The house is absolutely amazing with all the amenities of home and more. It is less than a block away from the ocean and you can see the ocean from the bedroom window. The beds are absolutely amazing and has plenty of room for larger families. Our communication with the owners was incredible and probably the best we’ve ever experienced on a VRBO booking! I highly recommend this property to anybody !

Really enjoyed our stay at the beach house! The pool was nice and warmed as promised and the hot tub got very warm when we turned it on. Lots of beach and pool toys for the kids. Loved the small plates/bowls in the kitchen for the kids. Beach was a short walk. Quiet neighborhood with an easy drive into Galveston. Dollar General across from the community for emergency supplies. Would definitely return!

The Perfect Place
The home was very clean with many amenities. We needed a great entertainment space. The owner did a great job with providing plenty of seating in the living room and dining. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the additional outdoor sitting. The space is used very well in the home. As many homes would have more twin beds it was nice having more full size beds. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes. I was very surprised to see that more than enough towels are provided as well. The location was perfect! We loved the neighborhood! This is a well decorated beach home that we would rent again.

Great Stay
My whole family had a great time at this property! We especially enjoyed the pool right in the backyard. The fact that we could walk to the beach was great for not getting sand in the car. Scott was very responsive and concerned when a couple of issues cropped up. They were resolved very quickly. We definitely recommend this property if you have lots of family or friends getting together.
