About this property

Summer Wind, Beachfront with incredible views! 5 miles from Galveston sea wall!


There is bed space for 10 people. 8 or 9 adults is comfortable. We do allow up to 11, with one on the couch or on the spare mattress that is under the bed. This beachfront home has one of the best views of any home on the West End, yet close to the fun of downtown Galveston. Easy walk to Galveston State Park. Our beach has a private feeling and is very quiet (no cars are allowed to drive on beach thus no worries about the kids/dogs). Once you cross the bridge from the mainland you will find a unique experience. We feel like we are entering a different world when we visit our beachfront island home! This is a pet friendly home with a pet fee of $75 per pet.

COVID-19: The house is ideal for social distancing. The beach is not crowded, there is plenty of outdoor deck space, and I recently upgraded the HVAC with a media filter and a UV air treatment system. Our cleaning company disinfects all touch surfaces (light switches, door knobs, counter tops, etc). If at any time our beach is closed down, the city prohibits short term rentals, or there is a state wide lock-down and you are prevented from using your reservation I will return all money paid. Please stay healthy!

MISC: This home is set back, plenty of beach in front and only small dunes between you and the beach. Please note, the map illustration can make it appear there are lots in front of Summer Wind. If you use a satellite view you will see this is not the case. This is a front row, ocean front home!

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great location; easy access to the beach and stores. Lower deck great for mis-afternoon reading/lounging in the shade with full visibility to the beach and water. Lots of board games and DVDs available. House was not cleaned prior to arrival- beds and towels unwashed. Outdoor shower inoperative but water hose provided.

We had a wonderful time! It was so nice to sleep to the sounds of the ocean and wake up to the sunrise every morning. It was so great being right on the beach and worth every penny. Our dog loved the fenced in decks, so many places to hang out. We would love to stay here again and hopefully we will.

I believe this is our 3rd time staying here and it never disappoints! It's always clean and comfortable and you can't beat the views! It's perfectly located- the upper deck gets the morning sun but by the afternoon, it's shady and a perfect spot to just relax and enjoy watching the waves. There's a deck underneath for those who just want the shade and still a great beach view. The kitchen is well equipped and there's a pantry where you can put your groceries for the week because who wants to spend their time grocery shopping when the beach is right in front of you! I almost hate to recommend this place because it might make it harder for us to rent next year but it's so amazing staying here and John is a great host so I'm going to highly recommend it anyway!

About the host

Hosted by John Coppens

Host profile image
I bought the house in 2008, and 2 months later, Hurricane Ike destroyed the foundation and broke our hearts. I spent the next year working on the house. It had to be lifted up and set on the beach. Once a new foundation was built, the house was placed on top and then much of the house had to be rebuilt. Once the house was finished, I spent the next couple of years working for a house moving company doing similar work another storm damaged houses along the gulf coast. In 2011 I moved to the east coast where I now work as a high school physics teacher and an on-call firefighter. The house is a source of pride for me and I try to always keep it as a welcoming second home for my guests. My wife and 2 girls enjoy coming back to Galveston to visit the house and a few old friends as often as we can.
