About this property

NEWLY REMODELED OVERSIZED 2nd row beach house sleeps 14+, 75 yards to the water.

Cheaper than beach first row houses, but only 25 yards further from the beach with an almost identical view and feel (no roads to cross, we're on the beach side of the main road). The wind and ocean spray are there. That magical beachy smell of the ocean.... Our roomy, beachy comfortable 2nd row Gulf of Mexico house with full amenities including a kitchen full of utensils and dishes, a full sized washer and dryer, three large bedrooms down and a giant studio/playroom/room-full-of-4-giant-bunkbeds with a full bath upstairs is just 75 yards to the beach on the beach side of San Luis Pass Road. You can listen to the waves all night! The house has a large kitchen table and a newly remodeled open kitchen so everyone can work together to make dinner.

It has great WiFi with smart TV's (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), ceiling fans, standing fans, good a/c in the summer and warm toasty heating in the winter upstairs and down. The beach is wide, clean and not busy and RIGHT THERE! The sand is soft and fluffy. This is a perfect get away spot about 13 miles west of the end of the Seawall. Also has a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, brand new dishwasher, new retro fridge and new oven/stove. We do our best to keep it stocked with dishes and flatware and cookware, salt/peper, cooking spray, coffee and fixins. We've got dish soap and laundry soap and full sized washer/dryer. We've got an ironing board and iron. We stock toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels. It's got smoke alarms, and a blasting hot and cold outdoor shower. Two new beach-side decks (upper and lower), too! You will love it!

Great place to stay, walking distance to the beach, and large enough for the entire family. The home is not fancy, and it isn't run down, it is perfect for a beach vacation! The owner was easy to communicate with and helped us through so issues. I highly recommend!

Dear Meredith, Thank you for the excellent review. We love the location of the house as well and that it’s big enough for a large group like yours. We did just double the size of the outside deck on the beach side so we think that’s kind of fancy. 😊

Excellent property, clean and very comfortable. Great gulf view even though we were one row back. Easy access to the beach, a short 75 yard walk. Quiet location even during spring break week. First time using this property, liked it enough that we are already booked for next year. Mike the host was very pleasant and easy to reach with questions.

This home was spectacular in every way. However I did mention to the owner that there seems to be a lack of privacy with most rooms either having very thin curtains, or lack there of.I also made mention that as my group arrived we were standing at the front railing for a picture and it almost gave way upon us. The owner assured me it would be fixed upon our departure so as not to interfere with our movements while on vacation.We have NO regrets with this home as far as space for everyone, proximity to the beach, neighborhood, or spectacular views!!The sun rises and sets were lovely.And we loved visiting the little “farmers market”, if you will call it that, that set up just in front of the house across the street . There were more than enough clean towels. There was everything one would need for having a nice dinner. And the closeness of the local restaurants was an added plus !I would recommend this lovely home for any family looking for value and space as well as such treasures the waves carry up for the finding.We had a lovely time and don’t regret it in any way.
The area where railing is extremely weak (or was?)

Thank you Gilbert for another 5 STAR review. We're happy you had a good time at our beach house. We love that it's so close to the beach with no paved roads to cross. The best part is being able to come back and forth to get a cold drink, more sunscreen, or use the bathroom without packing up your beach stuff. Come back soon! Mike

The property manager responded quickly when inquiries were asked, but the house reminded me of a Fraternity House. There was mismatched furniture, towels & sheets with names listed on the tags, unusable pots & pans & the perimeter of the house had not been cleaned. We will look for other options on our next visit.

We work hard to maintain our house. We own one lovely beach house that we love. We have had a summer full of renters already with great reviews from almost everyone enjoying the house. We're sorry you sought to comment only on the negative. We sent the cleaners back to try again in the middle of your stay. We go through a lot of furniture due to heavy use and breakage and so there's some old and some new. We will admit we don't supply matching towels & sheets. We just cannot do that. We do supply plenty of sheets and towels for your stay, though. The pots and pans are plentiful and work great. We wish you the best. Mike

Fun family vaca

Home was just as described and there was room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Nice thing was there was plenty of hot water for all 8 of us to have nice showers. Good communication with owners before we got there. It was a nice quick walk to the beach which was wonderful. Washer, dishwasher worked great, clothes dryer not so good which was disclosed in communication. . Outdoor shower was a terrific addition! The beach was sandy and the water was wet, just as we hoped for! All in all we would recommend this rental to anyone and would love to go back! The SUN KISSED FAMILY

Unfortunately the air in the loft was messed up

There were some issues but I contacted the owner and he is willing to make it right. We did stay there despite the ac upstairs not cooling below 76. It was hot. The downstairs ac was great. There was water dripping in one of the bedrooms onto the windowsill which I also informed the owner.

We apologize for the upstairs a/c issue. We tried to get a mechanic out there ASAP when you contacted us on Sunday morning after arriving on Friday. However, it was Memorial Day weekend and my calls and texts to the appliance company went unreturned. We only own this one house and do not have a maintenance person available round the clock. Thankfully the downstairs unit was working well and we had numerous ceiling fans and other fans. We are sorry your guests were uncomfortable. We did the best we could. We appreciate your review and hope you give us another try soon. Mike

Third Time Stay

We keep returning to this place! We especially enjoy the balcony view and the breezes from the ocean - although it's second row, the ocean is SO close, you have a clear view of the water, you can hear the waves, there's a path to the beach, and it's close to the West End Marina, which has delicious food. That's why we'll be back in about two weeks!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Engelhart (for Hijo de Playa, LLC)

Host profile image
We're excited to own and share this awesome beach house with you and your family and friends. We find it so relaxing, and such a short walk to the water across a wide sandy beach, that we know you'll love it too. Plus, we just remodeled to add wood-look tile floors throughout the downstairs, a brand new kitchen, and a fresh coat of paint and new ceiling fans.

Why they chose this property

We chose this house because it was the best combination of closeness to the beach, and roominess and comfort. There's room for at least 14 people, and a full complement of amenities inside, and activities nearby.

What makes this property unique

In this beach house, you can stay in a quiet part of Galveston Island, with a wide, roomy, sandy beach. At the same time, you're just 20 minutes from all of the bustling activities on the Seawall. You have free, ample parking, and you're AT the waterfront.
