About this house rental
Located just a few miles away from the Galveston Ferry and walking distance from the beach, our beach house is idyllic for those looking for the full beach experience, but not all of the cost.
What started as my great grandfather's home away from home during his years as a shrimping boat captain, our family converted it into a spacious 2-story beach house with all of the comforts of home. Downstairs, it features 2 wheel-chair accessible bedrooms with a full bathroom (standing shower), a covered patio with 2 porch swings, plenty of room for grilling (gas and charcoal grill included), and an outdoor shower for your return from the beach.
Upstairs, the floorplan can only be described as wide-open. Prominently centered is a huge kitchen space fully stocked, complete with a range, stove, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, and arguably more counter-stop space than you've ever seen! Also, the upstairs features a private bedroom with a queen bed, a livingroom area, dining table, a king sized bed (behind room dividers), a day bed w/trundle bed, and a full bathroom (tub/shower) with two vanities.
The "big store" is just a few blocks away for all of your gasoline and grocery needs, as well as two water parks, the Fort Travis Seashore Park (Civil War fort), several restaurants and bars, firework stands (seasonal), and souvenir shops. For those interested in a longer stay, many of the Houston attractions like baseball games, Johnson Space Center, Houston Zoo, etc. are under 2hrs away.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2024
We came right after hurricane Beryl. So there were a few issues with ac and things. But Cindy the housekeeper was here and worked to help. Even brought us a fan from her house. The owner was out of town so it took a bit to get things up and working. But we did and we had a good week after all.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
This is our 2nd time to stay here. The house is running down, needs tlc and brought up to date. The bottom floor had bugs and smelled very musty-----damp and moldy. Don't like that the cleaning came by two times in 7 days. Came and walked through the house (top and bottom), not sure what she was looking for. The plus was the updated trash---now on the curb.(last time we had to put the previous trash out on the curb) No washer/dryer-----that is always a plus.
