You'll be in awe of the space and light that await at this three-story home in Galveston, beautifully situated only two rows back from the beach.

Perched like a beacon on a grassy piece of property, this home enjoys a peek-a-boo view of the Gulf of Mexico just over a block away. You'll be five miles up the coast from Galveston Island State Park and five miles down the coast from Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Waterpark. The heart of Galveston and the Strand Historic District are just over eight miles east.

One of the wonderful features of this property is its generous outdoor space, with two levels of covered decks on both the front and rear of the house. You'll have plenty of room for sipping morning coffee, marveling at the sunset, and basking in the cool gulf breeze.

Ascend a flight of stairs and find the main living area on the home's second floor. It's an open, light-filled space lined with windows, bringing together the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room. The kitchen is streamlined and elegant, offering stainless steel appliances (including a French-door refrigerator, a gas range, and a dishwasher), beautiful elements of stone, and a large prep island.

After dinner each evening, cozy up on the sectional to stream movies in the warmth of the gas fireplace. When it's time to turn in, you'll have five bedrooms to choose from, four of which have en suite bathrooms. The primary suite is on the top floor, offering a smart TV, a spa-like bathroom, and access to its own deck. There are two more bedroom suites (with deck access) and a fantastic blue room with built-in bunks upstairs, and one more bedroom suite on the main floor.

A private laundry room, central air conditioning, and complimentary WiFi are provided as well.

This home was perfect for our 4 families and we all enjoyed our stay. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was due to a small ant problem on the first level. There was also a short in the kitchen which caused the GFCI wall outlet to go out and we constantly had to flip the breaker switch. We did contact GS who was going to contact the local team but to my knowledge no one ever came out since it continued to happen. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will definitely return in the future if available.

What a beautiful home! Lots of potential, but a few things that need attention. Good: Spacious, clean, comfortable, quick beach access, ample parking for 4 vehicles. TV's in a lot of the rooms. Improvement: Needs more in the way of amenities. More plates (even just some cheap ones would be great to have). Pots, pans, baking sheets, oven mitts, Keurig coffee maker, and other cooking amenities are needed to make use of the beautiful kitchen. A grill would be a nice addition, some beach accessories (tent, chairs, etc) would be nice for those not able to haul their own. These aren’t necessities but are a typical perk for properties in this neighborhood. Would be a plus to have tv in every room. Problems: There were a handful of smoke detectors that have been removed on the upper floor. The upper floor A/C ran constantly and was not able to cool below 76 (highs were upper 80's outdoors). Seems like the units may be undersized for the space and as the summer months heat up more - the upper floor is not going to be comfortable. The air vent in one of the upper floor bedrooms had been closed, making this space even warmer. Ceiling fan over the seating area in the main living was removed or not yet installed - though there was a ceiling box where it should go. The refrigerator twice tripped the breaker. When we arrived there was no running water to any of the fixtures. After receiving permission from Vacasa, I turned the water on at the meter and discovered a major leak from the sprinkler system was gushing water. I was able to locate the isolation valve and turn off the sprinkler system and still get water to the house. Within an hour the sprinkler contractor showed up to fix the issue. Would have been nice to know that this was going on rather than showing up to a house with no water and having to go to work to fix the problem.

This house was perfect for our group. It had plenty of space and was very nice. It was a very short walk to the beach and the neighborhood was great. We had a few minor issues with ants due to overflowing trash bins left in the garage from previous guests. The first night of our stay there was a thunderstorm that blew the transformer and we lost power. I contacted Vacasa by text and called them to let them know we needed to report the power outage to the electric company and would like updates. I also sent pictures of the blown transformer. I was told the local team would contact me and that we probably didn’t have power because of the storm. I never got a call from the local team. We didn’t have power from 4:30AM-8:00PM and never heard anything from Vacasa which was a little frustrating. I called the power company and they let us know that the homeowner did indeed report the outage and power company kept us updated on repairs and restoration times. Can’t blame anyone for the weather, however it would’ve been nice to hear back from someone. Other than that we managed without power, enjoyed our time in the house and would definitely stay here again in the future.

We very much enjoyed the kitchen being directly behind the living room so that everyone was always included in what we were doing. Also having your own shower in almost every room was an amazing experience for everyone. The couch was almost more comfortable than the beds! Was a fantastic house and we had a fantastic stay!

This house was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so was the community it was in. The big laundry room was so nice and needed with 4 kids. The living room & kitchen were larger enough for our 2 families. I really liked that there were 2 masters and most bedrooms had a bathroom attached. The negative was the house is not baby proof at all. There were no baby gates inside or outside the home. The glass table in the kitchen is a big hazard. Our kids bumped into it multiple times because they are small and can't see the edge of the pointed table. The glass coffee table in the living room we moved into the bedroom within 5 minutes of being at the home. Not every bathroom had soap which was very odd. The breakers in the kitchen were constantly tripping. When we first arrived the fridge kept going out. We couldn't use a few outlets due to them always tripping the fridge. Issue was reported and no one checked in on us. There isn't a fan in the living room but you can tell there should be. It was very hot in the living room, especially in the afternoon. The AC never kept up even with all the blinds closed. There were broken smoke detectors sitting upstairs and the master upstairs didn't have one. The wires that it should hook up to were hanging out. While this home is beautiful you can tell it was rushed and not all the details have been worked out.

This is a great house. There were 9 adults and plenty of room for everyone. The location is perfect and easy access to the beach and close to town.

Our extended family of 11 stayed at this home for 4 nights. The home was very clean upon arrival, was nice and spacious and was as pictured online. It is close to the beach and has good views of the ocean. We loved having so many bedrooms and bathrooms! The neighborhood is lovely! Our overall experience was positive but we did have some issues. The A/C upstairs struggled to keep up with the desired temperature. The electrical outlets in the kitchen area kept going out so we had to keep flipping the breaker switches. The supplies in the kitchen were inadequate for a home that can accommodate 16 people. We have seen all of these issues mentioned in previous reviews and due to the Vacasa responses we were hoping that they had been rectified prior to our arrival. These issues were disappointing but did not prevent us from having an enjoyable family time at The Beacon!
