Blue Marlin | Close to Attractions & Town!

Welcome to Blue Marlin, a classic 4-bedroom, 3-bath beachside retreat located in the beloved Pirates Beach subdivision of Galveston, Texas. This inviting home offers 1,330 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, including a unique separate ground-level suite—ideal for families or couples traveling together. With high vaulted ceilings, open-concept living areas, and coastal charm throughout, Blue Marlin promises a relaxed and memorable Gulf Coast escape.

Step outside to soak in the sun on the large, uncovered deck, perfect for enjoying a summer lunch or relaxing with a cold drink in hand. Downstairs, you'll find a shaded patio with outdoor furniture, a BBQ area, and an outdoor shower—the perfect setup for post-beach cookouts and catching the cool Gulf breeze after a day in the sun. And speaking of the beach, it’s just a 4-minute walk away, offering endless opportunities for sandcastle building, wave jumping, and long beach strolls.

Inside, the main level welcomes you with an open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen, designed to keep everyone connected. The master bedroom features a king bed, TV, and a private half bath that connects to the full hallway bath with a tub/shower combo. A second bedroom offers a queen bed, and two additional bedrooms feature twin beds, each with its own TV and a mix of cable or DVD entertainment—plenty of space for kids and adults alike.

The ground level provides added privacy with a separate entrance, a bedroom with two twin beds and TV, a full bath with a tiled walk-in shower, and a custom-built steam/dry sauna—a rare and luxurious amenity perfect for unwinding after a day of beach fun.

Just a short drive from top Galveston attractions like Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and the historic Strand District, Blue Marlin offers a peaceful residential feel while keeping you close to the action. Pirates Beach is known for its family-friendly vibe, making it easy to enjoy a relaxing getaway without being far from the island’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment.

Book your stay at Blue Marlin today and experience a breezy beach retreat that blends comfort, convenience, and just the right touch of coastal charm.
