Great experience at The Cheeky Dolphin!
Spent Christmas weekend at the house. Very spacious. The pictures don't do it justice. Short walk to the beach and not too far from the city. The host, Sarah, couldn't have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.

Why they chose this property

Beachside Village is a beautiful little neighborhood in Galveston and is one of the closest neighborhoods to downtown that also sits right on the beach. The collection of rainbow pastel houses with white picket fences is picturesque. Enjoy private beach access just 10 minutes from the Seawall and 20 minutes from downtown.

What makes this property unique

This is a great property for families and groups of friends to get together and enjoy the private beach, just a 3 minute walk from the house, with beautiful beach views from the back porch.
