This lovingly-cared-for petite beachfront corner studio condo between Stewart Beach and East Beach has a large balcony and expansive gulf views. Intimate boutique hotel experience for two or solo getaways. Great WiFi makes for an inspiring work space.
No street to cross to get to the beach, yet the condo is close to downtown Galveston and the Seawall. Enjoy the gorgeous sunrises and moon gazing, track cruise ship comings-and-goings, check out the activity on the beach, float in the heated pool, or relax and watch the waves roll in!
The corner studio- our "Nest on the Edge” of East Beach, Galveston, is on the 6th floor of a mid-rise condo building. The front desk is staffed 24/7. The parking area is gated and accessed by code.
Check in with staff from the gate to the parking area. Park at any white-curb parking spot. Register with the front desk, then take the elevator up to your room, where you let yourself in with keypad entry.
Kitchen, dining, living, and sleeping are in one space open to the view. The full bath has a shower/tub combo, and, as of 2024, brand new floors, vanity, lighted mirror, and tile accent wall. A queen Murphy bed with Tuft & Needle mattress is the primary bed- it folds up to allow more space as you move about.
Unique for corner units is the extra window, which provides more light and views and allows the AC to vent hot air off the side of the building and not on you as you sit on your balcony!
** PLEASE USE CAUTION ** when both balcony door and condo entry door are open, the wind can cause entry door to slam forcefully shut! Only open condo door when balcony door is closed.
There is password-protected wifi and a 51” smart TV.
Outside the lobby are a year-round heated pool and an elevated walkway over the protected dunes to the beach. On your return to the building, there is an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand. (Please!)
A tennis court, two pickleball courts, and a basketball hoop are available for your use at the front of the property. Bocce, cornhole and horseshoes are set up on the patio and back lawn. NEW putting green in 2026!
The East Beach area of Galveston has no busy street to cross to get to the sand and waves! You can walk or run for miles, add sea birds to your list, and float in the gulf. The public may not drive on the section of the beach where the condo is located.

Everything about the place was excellent…clean, beautiful decor, cozy for two! Awesome view of a truly secluded beach, with the owners also leaving extra special things to enjoy. Very nice heated pool to swim in after beachtime. Loved it and WILL return!
We travel a lot and always use VRBO and this ranks as one of BEST we have ever stayed at. The property was everything is advertised and more. The hosts were attentive and interested in ensuring our stay was perfect. Don't think twice, book it!

Julie and Tim, thank you for being ideal guests and for this lovely review! We appreciated the ease of communication with you, and that you treated the condo with such care. Please consider us your home on Galveston Island! ~ Jill and Bill
Stayed over a weekend with my girlfriend and can't say enough about the entire experience from the communication with the owners, quality of the residence including cleanliness, accuracy of the description, neighborhood, complex/property, everything was professional and top notch! I highly recommend you stay here, you will not be disappointed!
The unit has beach chairs and a cooler. Beautiful views! The building has equipment for bocce, pickleball, tennis and more. We had a great time! The Baywatch dolphin tour was nice.
Fantastic hosts! I had my first Cracker Jacks as a treat from their snacks collection. This couple doesn't miss a thing, including the deer corn provided for the many morning and evening visitors from the enormous field behind the house. Awesome!
Favorite things: the view from the window AND the balcony! Ship watching! Strolling on the beach! Such a cozy, perfect location. We loved everything about this place. Jill was a the greatest hostess: great instructions, snacks, & always available for our questions. Highly recommend!
