About this property

2nd Row Pet Friendly Home w/ Great Views, 2 Decks, Nearby Dune Walkover

Your next vacation is sure to be Just Joy-ful at this 2nd row beach house! The 2 decks, open floor plan, and close proximity to the beach makes this dog friendly rental the perfect Island escape for couples trips or family getaways.

Make yourself at home and unwind in the comfortable living area. With the two couches and plush armchairs, everyone can get together for family time. The bright pops of color and wall of windows light up the home, setting the mood for a bright & airy day. The cook can have plenty of assistance with seating for 4 at the breakfast bar in the fully-equipped kitchen. No one will miss any of the fun! Seat 10 at the dining table, and chat over a delicious feast.

The main level primary king suite boasts an en suite bathroom with garden tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, you’ll find a king bedroom, plus a third bedroom with 2 full beds. Both have deck access and beach views. Down the hall, there’s a full bath and the fourth bedroom, sleepover central, with a pyramid bunk and twin rollaway.

Ready to build a sandcastle, hunt for seashells, or do some surf fishing? The neighborhood dune walkover is only one house away, so it's easy to take full advantage of all that Galveston’s 32 miles of beaches have to offer!

Great location away from the crowded seawall area.

This was our annual girls beach trip. This house provided plenty of space. The kitchen is well supplied. Decorations are above & beyond. Enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood that is close enough to Galveston restaurants and activities without being trapped in the hectic-ness of it.
