About this house rental
Much like the exclusive, private island it was named after, Kokomo is classic, elegant, and quintessentially Galveston. Sweeping Gulf views immediately take your breath away as you enter the open-concept main level. Filled to the brim with coastal finishes — like hardwood floors, shiplap walls, vaulted ceilings with accent beams and stainless-steel appliances — this serene 3 large bedroom/2-bath retreat is located on an idyllic sun-kissed corner of Terramar Beach.
Kokomo offers a rare experience of luxurious outdoor beachside amenities including an 8-person hot tub spa that becons for relaxation, it boasts an elegant fire pit to lighten the ambiance which is situated around bench-style seating, two wooden swings are located on each side of the hot tub so you can enjoy the summer breeze, a putt-putt golf game is situated beachside for friendly competition, a fenced-in turf yard is available so your 'furry friends' can enjoy the outdoors with ease, and an outdoor shower fit for a sandy wash-off after a day at the beach.
Step into the inviting open-concept main level, where the open floor plan is engulfed in neutral sand tones and crisp whites that are accented with pops of cheerful turquoise. The expansive floor-to-ceiling windows radiates natural sunlight giving you breathtaking unobstructed ocean views. The island offers bar seating for 4, complimented by a dining area accommodating 6, against a backdrop of ocean views. Completely reimagined, and thoroughly updated, this seaside escape sleeps 14 and has plenty of space for an intimate weekend away or an extended family gathering.
Discover comfort on the first floor with the initial bedroom boasting two queen beds and a conveniently located full bathroom. The first floor also houses the washer and dryer for added convenience. Ascend to the second floor where the remaining two bedrooms await. The second bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, featuring a luxurious king-size bed where you can drift off to the soothing sounds of crashing waves. Enjoy late-night entertainment on the TV or step onto the private balcony, complete with lounge chairs and a sitting stool area for two—perfect for sipping morning coffee or evening beverages. The third bedroom, a vibrant haven for the kids, showcases three sets of twin bunks and a TV. A full bathroom on the second floor ensures comfort and convenience for all.
Kokomo is where comfort, leisure and convenience meet as you are only steps away from the sand in your toes and the waves carrying your stresses away.

We had a great stay at the Kokomo house! Very clean, plenty of stocked supplies (kitchen, linens, towels, sand toys & other beach supplies, accessories, etc.)... Hot tub & putt putt game was a hit! .. Very short walk to the beach was so nice! .. Very quiet beach. Felt like we practically had it to ourselves. Fast internet. Really enjoyed drinking coffee every morning on the patio with the ocean view! Also, loved watching the moonrises at night. Highly recommended!

Great west end location on an un-busy section of beach. House is far enough from the public entrances so it really feels private. Our teenagers enjoyed the hot tub and putting green. We had an issue with the AC and the owner sent someone the next day. They then replaced the unit and it worked perfectly! House was stocked with everything you could need. Would definitely return!

This beach house was a piece of Heaven on Earth. We absolutely loved the beach theme throughout the house. It was very cozy, had everything we could possibly need for our trip from shampoo to cooking utensils to beach towels, etc. The view was perfect, the beach was quiet since it’s about 25 min from Galveston town. We stayed during the last week of February which was very cool, so we really enjoyed the hot tub between our chilly walks on the beach. Our kids absolutely loved the bunk room with their own huge television, as well as the putting green, and large deck to play on. For the dog lovers, the house was perfect! We always travel with our dogs, but it’s hard to find VRBO’s that allow three, but these homeowners do, which we are so grateful for. But the best part, they have a fully fenced in area of their yard that is attached to the entrance of the home, so you can actually let your dogs out to use the restroom without having to leash them up every time. This alone makes us want to come back again. The fenced in yard goes around to the back of the home, near the fire pit, hot tub, and porch swings, so the dogs could still see us while we were outside too. Basically, the house exceeded our expectations, and when we had a snafu checking in because we were exhausted from our drive, the homeowner immediately answered our call and helped us. We just loved our vacation so much!

The weekend was amazing. The house is very comfortable. The amenities in the kitchen are just as described. The beach was beautiful. We are planning to stay here again soon. We had to contact the owner with a question and we got an immediate response.

This beach home met our needs. Lovely deck! Please note…there is no outdoor shower! We didn’t notice until we arrived.

The house felt very warm and welcoming and the views of the ocean are amazing. Check-in was so easy it seamed like I must be forgetting to do something. The location is quite but there are several grocery stores, restaurants and downtown activities just a short drive away. I would highly recommend the Kokomo house to any friends or family who are vacationing in the Galveston area.

I rented this property so my whole family could be together for my son's wedding. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely rent again!

My first time in Galveston was an incredibly fortunate introduction. I’m obsessed with the beach (any beach to be fair🤣🙌🏼) and it definitely was a major plus that this chic house sits right on the white sand with a completely unobstructed view of the surf (heaven). I especially loved early morning walks with my dog, a few pelicans and the odd fisherman for company. Naturally I was sad to leave, but intend returning. Thank you.

Stunning!!!
The house is breathtaking! Definitely one of the nicest houses we’ve stayed in while in Galveston. Everything you need and steps from the beach. Absolutely perfect!!!

Cute place!
Host was very responsive. Check in was super easy. This beach area is private and not busy like other areas. Morning coffee on deck was great with nice breeze. The house is stocked with all the little things you would think you need to pack or forget to pack. Very close to a marina restaurant if you don't want to cook. I would just beware (it may have said in the description and I did not see), the master bathroom is not private to the master bedroom and it is in between the bedroom and the bunk room. Wasn't an issue for us since the bunk room was empty, just an fyi.

Perfect escape
This beautiful home is even better than the great photos! Perfect location and fabulous views with easy beach access. Best place to stay! Well stocked (lots of towels) and very clean. Owners are very quick to respond to emails and are very accommodating. We hope to come back again and again. I am a five star hotel person and felt very comfortable here. The house has lots of beds and room for everyone....but in our case it was just my husband, myself and our Pomeranian. It was very quiet area. The beach was clean and cars AREN'T allowed on the beach which is a huge plus! I highly recommend.

MEMORY MAKING VACATION!!!
This place is a DREAM! It's literally STEPS from the beach and is truly MAGICAL! We spent our mornings enjoying coffee on the outdoor sofa (full ocean view), daytime at the beach, dinner at the outdoor dining table (full ocean view) and cocktails on the UPPER DECK patio under the moon! This house has everything you need and MORE! Perfect for couples or families with their 6 bunks beds, AND, PET FRIENDLY! Can't wait to visit again soon! It's the BEST of the BEST!

Relaxing getaway!
We wanted a quiet place, right on beach, away from chaos, an opportunity to relax. Got exactly what we were looking for! We really liked having two patios. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home!

Great Spring Break with the kids!
SO MANY TOWELS!!! We’ve rented beach homes and bay-side homes in Galveston for several years now- and have rented from the agencies, and from owners. I love the personal touches and extra amenities with renting from owners. There were so many towels!!! And little things like zip lock bags and tin foil. We always bring a small supply just in case, but it was nice to know they were there in case we needed another zip lock or something. We brought our dog, so brought sheets to cover the sofas in case he jumped on them- and the sofas were really comfy. It was a lovely living room space with the largest TV I’ve ever seen in a home. And the master bed was amazing- so comfortable. The kids loved the bunk room. The beach was a few steps away too - and totally private. We only saw a few other people. The location was quiet and peaceful - which is exactly what we were looking for. One of the nicest homes we’ve stayed in!!

Can’t beat the view
You have everything that is needed….just walk right out to the beach.
The only thing that was needed were blinds or window treatments in the main area for privacy at night. It’s a super cute house!

We had a great time during our stay! The sun deck was the best part of the house! The house was clean and easy to use. The owners and manager were great at communicating and made our stay very easy and hassle free. We showed up and started relaxing!

Fun Beach House
Fun and clean beach house that worked well for our family of 2 small kids, my wife and I, and my parents. Great location right on beach with nice unobstructed view and really clean and quiet beach out front. The house is well cared for and worked nice, but you will want to bring some basic items like cooking oil, dish soap for the sink, extra toilet paper (we ran out of what they supplied on day 3).
We did have a real problem checking in since the lockbox they had the key in was jammed shut and the hosts only phone listed went straight to voicemail and then said full mailbox and wouldn't take a message. The VRBO didn't have another number for them either so it was a really lousy way to start our vacation trying to figure out how to get into the house. My father eventually got the lockbox opened with a pair of channel lock pliers he had buried in his car (the previous person had jammed the box so the pliers were able to squeeze it closed until it snapped back into normal position where the buttons worked again). VRBO really needs to have a backup plan in place though for guests who arrive and have no way to access the home, or to get ahold of the owners or a backup key. The hosts eventually called us a couple days later to apologize and say they had lost their phone and hadn't checked their email, but even though they were sincerely apologetic about it, it was still crummy service to not check in or give a backup contact method to guests that have spent thousands of dollars on a vacation.

Great Family Getaway!
Amazing house with plenty of room for our family to all stay together. Kitchen was fully stocked. Beds were comfortable (even the bunk beds). Beach was clean and private. Enjoyed being further away from the big city and the little grocery store and close restaurants were perfect. Property manager was super friendly and responded quickly to all messages and texts. Overall, amazing experience.

ISLAND TIME PERFECTION!
The Kokomo Beach house was everything and more for us this week. The house itself is located with a great view of the gulf and so little traffic on the beach in front I forgot we were in Galveston. Very well stocked as mentioned in past reviews. Sleeps well for adults :) Incredible green water to the beach with fantastic fishing; pompano, spanish mackerel, spotted trout (delish dinner) and blue crabs! ZERO complaints or issues! FYI, swing under house always seemed to have a nice cool breeze and great view!!!

Family Vacation
The property was well maintained and had lots of little special touches. There was plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The location to the beach was only a few steps away. There were lots of beach toys, lawn chair and floats to use and such a big screen TV to enjoy as well. We so enjoyed our stay!

Kokomo House
The home is on a beautiful stretch of Terramar Beach. Location is peaceful. We enjoyed not having a crowded location. I do feel that sleeping for 14 is a stretch at this location. One bedroom has 3 bunk beds. I was told mattresses on the bunk beds were very uncomfortable. Overall, it is hard to have a bad stay at the beach.

Great Place to stay with lots a closet full of extras. Floaties for the kids, beach chairs, boogy boards, kid gates, kites,...the list goes on and on. Thanks for the great Vacation.

Beautiful beach house
We had a fabulous stay at the Kokomo house. We received instructions on how to enter early on. Check in was a breeze. The house is beautiful. The attention to detail throughout the house and view made our stay extremely enjoyable. We travel quite a bit, at least we did before March 2020 and have stayed at several vacation rental houses. This beach house is among the most well stocked in pots and pans, ladles etc.. more than basic necessities that we have seen. During our stay there were very few people on the beach. The house is a bit away from the city center ~20-30 minute drive which is not too bad. The house is worth it!!

Birthday weekend
Husband and I met our daughter and son-in-law who live in Houston to celebrate their bds! We were booked for the week after the Galveston ice storm. The owners went above and beyond to get a broken pipe fixed and communicated frequently before our trip. We had a perfect escape to a misty winter beach. Location is great. Home is well equipped and an easy to relax house. Thank you!

The house is bright, open, and had amazing views. The only down side is we did not have hot water for a couple of days but we managed and had a wonderful stay.
