About this house rental
The Pearl Wave is literally on the beach with easy access to beach and panoramic unobstructed ocean view! It is the first house from the beach in a quiet residential neighborhood, nothing but beach 270 degrees around our place. The beach access point is only steps away, and the beach access is car free, not a busy car loading/unloading zone. Romantic walks on the beach are right out the door, or run the kids ragged on the beach all day then sit around the great room on the comfortable couch, or relax at the end of a 'beachy' day in your Jacuzzi tub!! Our beach is safer for kids due to no cars allowed on the beach in front of our house all year around!! Large deck on the ground floor and on the main level with plenty of seating and an additional top-floor deck are the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view and listen to the peaceful sound of the waves. House has plenty of windows with unobstructed ocean views.
With ~ 1900 sqft, the house has an open living/dining area, 3 good-sized bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 1 outdoor hot water shower, sleeping 13 comfortably. Both floors have a high ceiling which is a rare find for beach houses and will give you the breezy feel even inside. The whole first floor has hardwood flooring, the second floor master bedroom has luxury vinyl plank flooring (installed Oct 2021), with hardwood staircase connecting the two floors. No carpet in house!
The master suite on the top floor has its own deck boasting the highest ocean views in the neighborhood. The master suite has a king-sized bed and a twin bed. The master bathroom has a double vanity, walk-in shower, and a jet tub with ocean view.
The downstairs main floor has two spacious bedrooms that are separated by a full bathroom. The living/dining area has an open floor plan with direct ocean views from all nine windows. Kitchen is spacious, with plenty of counter space and a window of direct ocean view. Kitchen connects to the full-size laundry room with a washer and a dryer. The living area opens to a large wood deck with a direct and unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The wood deck is 2/3 covered so that you can enjoy the outdoor breeze and ocean view within the shade for as long as you'd like!
The ground floor has a spacious covered wood deck with a picnic table and an outdoor hot/cold shower shed which also stores beach chairs, toys, canopy, and a Weber 22-inch master-touch charcoal grill for guests to use (bring your own charcoal). The ground floor has easy access to a car-free walking path to the beach; in fact, the beach access is just outside the driveway! The walking path is sandy and does not require you to navigate through grasses. Just come down from the house anytime and you will be right on the beach -- no more hassles of finding beach parking or dragging your beach gears over a long walk!
We provide almost everything you would need to feel like home! All beddings are provided for the beds that you would need -- sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and comforters/quilts -- all beddings are washed between guests. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap, and toilet paper are stocked in the two bathrooms. Four Smart TVs in the house, with Netflix, PrimeVideo, and SlingTV for live streaming of sports and shows. Family-size refrigerator and electric range with convection oven. Two coffee makers, one traditional and one Keurig. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutting boards, non-stick pans of different sizes, baking pans, pyrex baking dishes, cooking utensils, plenty of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, and napkins.
House has exterior cameras on the ground floor for security monitoring. No cameras inside the house.

This is one of the best vrbo’s I’ve ever stayed in. Incredible beachfront location, can not be beat!! Well stocked with every thing you need, including beach towels and chairs. Beds were comfortable, temps were cool (even though very hot outside, and plenty of space and privacy for big groups. We can’t wait to book again next summer

The house has a big great room and spacious kitchen where we could cook meals and still be engaged with the family. The house walks right out onto the private beach. Only 10 minutes to the Walmart and 15 minutes from the pier. Great location!
When we arrived, the owners were there still cleaning up from the hurricane. They were very nice and extremely responsive when I had a question.
5.0 / 5.0
We checked in exactly one week after the area was hit with a hurricane so we were apprehensive about going. However, our host communicated thier progress regularly and when we arrived they were finishing up what repairs could be made. The house is right on the beach so it made it easy for the adults to sit on the porch and watch the teenagers play on the beach. The hostess was quick to respond to the few minor problems we had and resolved the issues. All of the furniture was in great shape and was accommodating for the 7 of us. Great experience overall.

Can’t say enough good things about Peggy the host! She refunded a day of our trip due to the tropical storm and kept in constant contact updating us on the conditions, and told us when if was safest to come. Also, her and her husband worked long hours to make the property after for us after the storm. So, like I said, can’t say enough good things about Peggy. On a scale of 1 to 5, she’s a 6! House is literally right on the water, with the high tide Peggy and her husband worked to put down concrete bags to make it safer and cleaned the parking area from the storm surge. So afain, can’t say enough good things about Peggy!

Very clean inside and right on beach . Quaint beach house literally on top of the developing dune. It’s about 15 steps from house to beach . Beach is blocked from traffic in older Spanish Grant Beach pocket which puts it very close to Galveston and yet far enough for some quiet beach front . We felt like we had a private beach for most of the time with expansive ocean view. House has a lot of “Character” on the outside and is obviously in battle with the salt air being about 30 yards from the ocean spray but for us added to the ambiance. Check in and check out easy and no hassle . Owner communications were timely , polite and helpfull. Inside everything is open and very clean. Good idea having weather simulated hard wood floors throughout makes for clean and easy look. Owner went to a lot of trouble to put things right where you would need them for comfort and efficiency . Little things like had soap at every sink and all the extras is nice touch . Even though your there for the beach most likely, great work with the tvs - all new smart tvs in all rooms were great touch including massive 86 inch in main room . All worked all easy to use. House has a central ac unit that runs loud and works hard and owner has installed what look like pretty new smaller window unit’s in every room that chill it up pretty good and that with good overhead fans means house is plenty cool . Window units can be noisy if your light sleeper- great beds . All and all great beach house !

Also appreciated the extra touch in the Bathrooms and Kitchen with Shampoo, Soaps, Coffee etc…

We had a fantastic stay! Absolutely gorgeous location and so clean and nice inside! My husband and I came down for Mardi Gras with 3 other adults and - I'm not going to lie - we were a little concerned at the outside. It is a little weathered and things "look" worn out - but the longer we stayed, the more we realized why. We've stayed in a lot of beach houses on Galveston and the sea spray and wind at this location are ample! This house is constantly getting a dose of the elements, so of course the outside is weathered with the continual salt exposure. Some things outside were a little rusty and swollen. Some of the doors did stick and needed a little help opening/closing. BUT the inside is updated, very pretty, very clean, and comfortable. The upstairs bed was comfortable, the top dock was nice, very stable, and had an amazing view. We had a great time and really enjoyed the immediate beach access. The location is perfect - not too close to the noise of the city, but a short drive to food and entertainment. The address took us right to the property and the instructions from the owner were perfect - no issues accessing the property. If we were to complain about anything, it would be the toilet paper. We bought our own after the first night - the tp provided was the worst possible and should definitely be reconsidered. Other than that non-issue, we would definitely rebook and stay for even longer!

Very scenic views of the beach from decks.

The interior was ok, beds were great The exterior is in bad need of repair. rotting wood on home and deck very prominent. windows single pane so wind, mosture and if it had been summer, heat would have been unbearable. other homes in neighborhood were well kept, this was not. also i had a fall. We arrived around 6 so sun had gone down. there was a swing on the porch you have to walk by. problem was with poor lighting, you could not see the chain bolting the swing to the deck. my foot caught the chain, i fell. injured my knee, my pinky broken, and wrist hurt. we left a day early so i could get home. The beach was amazing, the views from deck amazing. yard area needs cleaned up, stickers all in yard as well. interior was clean. if they dont put some money into the exterior the house is going to rot down. counters, ceiling fans, wall texture, windows all out dated. There was an extreme sewer smell but we opened the doors in the house(2) and smell diminished. Doors didnt close properly and front door was designed to open in, they have it opening out and it is in rotted wood.

We have come down to Galveston the past 4 years, staying in different rentals. This is hands down the best rental we have stayed at.
The exterior has a little superficial wear and tear typical of beach houses. But everything inside is in excellent condition, and as depicted in the listing. It was super clean, smelled good, and they even provided basics like shampoo (and even q tips!) The location is right on the beach, and there are sand/beach toys available for the kids. The owners were quickly accessible when we had a question about the TV.
I highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay and all the amenities provided by the owner. We had enough and more of everything to provide for the family as noted on listing. We will stay again in the future for sure. The location is right on the beach, amazing views and so much easier when traveling with children to go back and forth. The only thing I would recommend is asking the cleaning crew to dust and clean floors bc it’s been a long time and my littles feet were black within 10 min of crawling on floor. Other than that, no complaints at all.

This beach house has the best accommodations we have experienced in Galveston so far! We look forward to staying at this location again. Everything was fully stocked, we wanted for nothing. This house has central air AND window units and fans and made for a very comfortable environment. The ocean view is wonderful, beds are comfortable and it was a great experience!

The place was at a great location and we had a blast. The host also provided beach cabanas, chairs and pull wagon to take things to the beach. The place was clean with lot of good amenities and clean towels, shampoo and vessels provided. The one thing I did not like is the deposit that I was asked to put in of 3000$ which then forced me to buy the insurance. Out side of that, every penny spent was worth it. Thank you for hosting us.

The property is located practically on the beach. It’s pretty amazing. We loved having coffee and drinks overlooking the water while sitting on the patio. We stayed during the week and it was quiet. It was a great stay!

This is the first time grandkids saw the ocean and played on the beach. This house and location was perfect for them to experience what i experienced as a child. We had a blast. Thank you

Great location and so easy to go to the beach! Definitely a great spot. House is a bit older, so the front door and one of the bedroom doors did not close very well. Very windy since the house is beachfront, and we could also feel the house moving in the wind. Just something to be aware of. But overall, cleanliness and location was great. Thanks for our stay.

The house was perfect for our stay. We have 7 kids in varying ages and we were able to comfortably stay and access the beach very easily. The house stayed nice and cool all day. We have stayed at a few other beach houses before and usually they never stay cool enough! It was very easy to keep the sand contained with the washing areas below the house. We would definitely stay here again.

This house is a true gem! It sits right on the beach, there’s no other house closer. Everything about our two-week stay was perfect. Everything was as-advertised—or better! Here are some details:
1) The house was surgically clean.
2) Everything worked.
3) All beach-fun stuff is there— towels, shade awning, beach cart, chairs in all sizes and styles, kids toys, Weber barbecue grill and tools and more.
4) Nice porch chairs, 2 heavy picnic tables (shaded) plus the house is situated (angled) perfectly for viewing the beach and providing shade from the sun.
5) You MUST be aware that you are limited to FOUR cars, at any one time. There is zero option beyond four cars.
6) The kitchen is very well equipped, every single thing we needed was already there. Refrigerator and Freezer was huge and perfect.
7) Wonderful hostess, Peggy.

Perfect location, literally right on the water, the house is nice and clean. Family oriented neighborhood; the beach is nice and clean. We had all we needed to cook, for the beach, for washing, for grilling. The owners are always available and answer emails or texts ASAP. Once again, the outside shower could use some upgrading but is okay. this is the second time we stay at this property and we will come back if possible.
