Smart Craftsman Home on Seawall | Gulf-View Observatory Deck | 500’ to Beach
Craftsman on Seawall
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
An observatory deck with amazing Gulf views gives this 3BR/2BA beach bungalow serious wow factor. Kick back on an Adirondack chair and marvel at the 180-degree views extending from East Beach to the top of the Hotel Galvez. You’ll also love an incredible location on the Seawall -- just 500’ from beach access!
Beautifully updated, this Craftsman home is detailed with smart lighting and upscale furnishings. Additional outdoor space includes a quaint front porch, large dog-friendly yard, and outdoor shower.
LIVING AREA
A sofa and armchair offer seating around the smart TV -- perfect for movie nights.
KITCHEN & DINING
Whip up post-beach meals in the well-equipped kitchen. A full suite of upscale stainless steel appliances includes a gas range with double ovens and a side-by-side fridge.
Serve up your tasty creations at the six-person dining table. A kitchen island seats an additional two.
BED & BATH
This well-appointed home sleeps seven guests in three bedrooms.
Comfort awaits in the primary suite, which features a king bed, TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination.
The second bedroom offers a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the third bedroom has a king bed and a TV.
The guest bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower.
OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES
Enjoy beautiful Gulf views from the observatory deck, outfitted with four Adirondack chairs. Or, sip a crisp drink on the front porch, featuring a table for two and two Adirondack chairs.
The large fenced yard is perfect for dogs and includes two chairs and a shade umbrella. An outdoor shower adds a convenient spot to rinse off after a day at the beach.
EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS
Complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, beach towels, and chairs are provided in the vacation rental.
Street parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
LOCATION
Walk 2 minutes to the beach access point and spend the day splashing in the Gulf or lounging on the sand. (Please note that beach access involves crossing four lanes of traffic at Seawall Boulevard. First-come, first-serve paid parking spots are available by the beach.)
Your prime location also puts you close to all the entertainment, shopping, and dining options of Historic Downtown Galveston.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
Parking notes: Street parking is available on a first-come-first-serve basis; parking is not guaranteed.
This rental is located on floor 1.
Security camera details: outside only face outside. I am not sure they even work
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).

The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 25 years of age to book. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.
