About this house rental

If you love the sea, and need somewhere to unplug, unwind, and just be you: this is the place. A cheerful beach bungalow, located in far west Galveston in the resort community of Pointe West; the Happy Mullet is a beautiful place to relax and reconnect with your family. From the sparkling sunrise, to the gorgeous sunsets, enjoy spectacular beach views from inside or out on our two large decks. Watch the dolphins play from the outdoor sectional sofas or while you dine alfresco with outdoor seating for 7-8 on the lower balcony. Keep reading for our special amenities:

Come on in, kick your shoes off, and relax in the living room on comfy couches. Enjoy a beverage and watch the game on the 55" HDTV, or just soak up the ocean views just outside.

Seating for 8 at the solid wood dining table, another 3 at the kitchen bar, and 7-8 on the outdoor table. Plenty of room for delicious dinners or just whiling away the evening assembling a puzzle with the family or playing a rousing game of Monopoly (there are several board games and puzzles in the house).

When we visit Galveston, usually we have a gaggle of kids at the house, and sometimes we prefer to cook leisurely, dinners as opposed to going into town. If you do too, the kitchen is fully stocked, including common spices, ingredients, condiments, and cooking utensils: including food processor, rotating waffle maker, crock pot, griddle pans, paella pan, and a small fryer. There's a charcoal grill downstairs, too for the Grillmasters in your group. Caffeine needs are met with a regular coffee maker, a Keurig, and if you’re in need of a cafecito or café con leche: a Cuban stove-top espresso maker.

Back to those evenings, when you're downstairs, enjoying adult beverages with your friends: send the kids upstairs to their room. I'm pretty sure they won't fight you on that. The "Kid Room" might even attract some adults. The large suite has two full/twin bunk beds. Luxury "Comfy Sac" bean bags, private balcony, large jacuzzi tub (to clean up those sandy urchins after a day at the beach, or for an adults only soak), 42" HDTV, a Playstation 3, an Atari Flashback 8 with 120 games, and (here's the cool part) a Cabaret style Ms. Pacman arcade game featuring the best of retro including: Dig Dug, Galaga, and many more. Even rainy days are fun with a place like this to hang out.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely and clean, with high end furniture and linens.There’s a queen bed on the main floor, a king and queen upstairs (as well as the bunk beds in the kid room). There are four bathrooms, including a double vanity in the kid room, so hopefully that will keep those bathroom lines to a minimum. We'll even provide travel size soaps and shampoo in case you forget.

More importantly, this is a beach vacation, right? Well, the beach is literally just steps away. This is a remote beach, so it never gets super crowded. Maybe we're biased, but we think the beaches of West Galveston are prettier than the ones closer to town. The water is cleaner, the beach is kept immaculate, and the vibe is serene. After your day of surf and sun, there is an outdoor shower downstairs where it feels so good to wash off the day.

***RESORT FEE: Please note that you will need to obtain a wristband and access code from the Pointe West Beach Club to take full advantage of the resort facilities (pools, gym, clubhouse game room, Basketball and Pickle ball courts, restaurant and bar). They charge $25 per guest 4 years old and older for the entire length of your stay. This fee will be paid directly to the club upon registration. *** (You will receive an email from the Pointe West POA to prepay the resort fee. The primary guest on your reservation will need to show an ID at the Beach Club Office to pick up the wristbands and parking passes.) *** Fees increased to $25/per person in 2023. The fee is not mandatory. If you do not plan to use the pools and other amenities during your stay, you do not have to purchase the wristbands.***

Bikes and helmets included. Mix of (4) smaller kid bikes plus (4) big kid/adult bikes some with training wheels.

We share our great backpack beach chairs too.

The house is emaculate, and amenities at Pointe West were amazing. Dan and Vivian were awesome hosts. This past weekend, we celebrated my daughter's sweet sixteen with her closest friends. I believe this will be the trend for Sweet 16 celebrations. We absolutely made memories.

Great location. Short walk to the beach. Beach club is fun with a great pool. Lots to do in Galeveston. Overall we had a great time from kids to folks in their 80s. Hosts were helpful when we had questions and easy to communicate with.

We really enjoyed this house! It was very clean and so close to the boardwalk! Having beach towels, toys, umbrella and wagon at the house to borrow saved us so much packing space! The kitchen was well equipped and the kids loved having the master suite as their own hideaway. Pointe West never disappoints!

We love spending time at the beach every summer. After looking at many beach houses we chose this one because it had everything that we needed. Loved that they provided beach chairs, umbrella, toys and towels. We have a 8 month old grandson and they have a pack and play, baby gate and high chair. Beds were very comfortable and the back deck had plenty of places to sit and watch the waves.

The property is beautiful! We had a group of 10, comprising all ages from young cousins to grandparents. I loved that it had plenty of chairs for seating at the dining table, living room, and outdoor patio space. Plenty of utensils and cookware. I really loved that they had a baby pack n play as well as a stair gate. The beach wagon and supplies were fantastic! I will say - they ain’t kidding about the mosquitos! Our first day was super windy, so there weren’t any and it was awesome. But once that wind was gone - goodness! Don’t skimp on the bug spray. The neighborhood and beach were quiet and calm. Very well kept and it was all very beautiful!

The Happy Mullet did not disappoint. We had a wonderful time. The listing accurately described the place- Super convenient to the beach, lovely ocean views and an “At home” feel. We are already talking about returning next year. Communication with Dan and Liz was a breeze. You will not be disappointed if you rent this home.

We really enjoyed our time here as a family. The house was beautiful and comfortable with a lot of thoughtful attention to detail. We spent a lot of time on the beach and relaxing on the two balconies that overlook the Gulf. Highly recommend.
