House in Galveston Island, TX
Reasons to book
About this house rental
This stretch of Galveston is different. The 8 Mile Road corridor means fewer crowds, more wildlife — dolphins, pelicans, and blue herons work the shoreline — and a calmer, wider beach than the Seawall area. The walk from the front door to the water is a straight shot under two minutes.
Inside: open-concept main level with Gulf views, fully stocked kitchen built for group dinners, Smart TVs with Roku in every room, fast Wi-Fi, washer/dryer. Outside: multiple decks at three levels, charcoal grill, outdoor shower, and beach toys ready to go.
Pet-friendly ($118 pet fee). Parking for 4–5 vehicles. Self check-in via keypad. Starter supplies included. Rated 4.89 stars with 38 reviews. Vacation rental license GVR-14658.
