Just a few minutes away, the gleaming sands of Galveston Beach await – but you’ll love this charming, elevated home so much, you won’t want to leave. Complete with string lights, rocking chairs, a gas grill, and patio table, the wraparound second-floor deck is the perfect place for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Inside, the vaulted ceiling makes the open floor plan feel even more spacious. Characterful touches like shiplap and exposed wooden beams meld seamlessly with modern updates. The modern, fully updated kitchen – with a pressed tin backsplash – offers everything the chef needs to cook up a masterpiece. Grab a barstool at the kitchen island, or step outside to dine alfresco on the deck.
At the end of a fun day, make yourself comfortable in the recliner and stream your favorite shows…or call it a night in what’s sure to be one of the most unique bedrooms you’ve ever slept in – think 'treehouse modern.' A comfortable queen bed features four thick ropes instead of banisters, and a landscape painted behind the bed helps set the treehouse scene. But before falling asleep, save time for a bubblebath in that copper soaking tub. Extra perks at this home include a washer/dryer, free WiFi and cable, and central AC.
THINGS TO KNOW Streaming services are available using your own account. A queen sofa bed provides extra sleeping space.

Nice quiet stay
Stayed here with my wife the night before we boarded a cruise for our honeymoon. We enjoyed the location. Quiet, peaceful and only a short drive from all the fun things in Galveston. Also a few minutes' walk to the beach. Cottage was everything advertised, and we both enjoyed our stay.
We arrived to the home and had a few questions and reached out, our questions were promptly answered and addressed.The house was just as pictured. The kitchen contained the necessities to cook and enjoy our meals. The living space was comfortable and we spent our downtime enjoying the tv. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We walked to the beach and it is close by. Overall, enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We’d stay here again.
We loved the house. The vaulted ceilings made the 750 sq ft seem very much larger. Large bath, awesome shower, very comfortable bed, washer & dryer, modern living room furniture and kitchen. Loved it! Only 300 steps to the beach 😊

Amazing house
How was so amazing and cozy. Room to kitchen to living room and patio and under house out door shower. So close to the beach!! Had brand new propane bottle but grill didn’t work. Connection has a leak so could grill the steaks and food we bought prior. Also no remote to tv in living room and no Keurig machine. Other than that, highly recommend
This was the 1st year we didn’t have a big family gathering in Galveston 4th of July week, which was strange for me at 1st but soooooo happy we did it. It was only a party of 2 (me & my boyfriend), and we wanted to be away from the city (& people) and mission accomplished, WE LOVED IT HERE! 😊 We’ve stayed in this same area before (a street over) and I was VERY excited we found this property for our stay.
The house itself was adorable, loved the whole style inside & outside (especially loved the bathroom shower & copper tub), you have private beach access with this area, we only left the house & beach a couple times within the week and that was to go to the grocery store and then do some shopping at The Strand, but that’s it. We were majority of the time at the beach daily, hanging out on the 2nd floor wrap around patio, or just in the house relaxing watching some tv in the living room.
We look forward to staying here again soon.
For the price and location to the beach it was perfect! The kitchen comes well stocked with some spices, pots, pans, dishes and lots of silverware. We brought our own door and left it out on the counter, which brought ants. I got some liquid ant bait and that fixed that problem! I left some in the junk for the next person too! I loved the extra trash bag, full roll of paper towels, sponge and dish cleaning supplies. There was one extra TP roll, we ended up buying more at the dollar store. Breakfast and lunches on the patio were a dream come true. The remote was hard to figure out. Use the GUIDE button! LoL The mattress on the pill lit sofa was nice. The furniture was clean and comfy The bed sleeps like a dream. I loved the bedroom.so much! There's even some laundry pods included, which is so nice to pack home clean clothes! The bathroom floor can get wear from the shower but it wasn't a deal breaker. The large walk in shower was heavenly as well as the large soaking tub. Don't forget your bubble bath!! There must be a tankless water heater because we never ran out of hot water! Even showering and tub running at the same time. The downstairs area is so nice with nice toys to take to the beach. Some may need to be replaced due to wear and age but my girls loved hauling them to the beach for sand digging. The shower downstairs is so convenient. It even has got water to it!! The handle comes off but is easy to put back on. I paid for late check out as I hated to end our trip.
House had everything you could need (except pizza tray). Liveley and clean and very comfortable. Perfect for a couple and a very quick hop, skip, and a jump to the beach.

Cute house, close to the beach
Comfortable house located close to the beach. Our family enjoyed our stay
This was a wonderful, peaceful get away for me and my husband. Home was very clean, bed was comfy but could have had a couple more pillows. Great outdoor space and you can view the Golf from the deck. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect getaway
This house was the perfect getaway for my teenage son and I. Really close walk to the beach without having to worry about the hustle and bustle of the strand traffic. Close to the fishing pier as well. The house was clean and adorable with everything we needed!
