And with enough luxurious square footage for family and friends, a barbeque patio, and a private bayside boardwalk— this home is like a Texas Gulf Coast dream come true.
Location: Galveston Bay Club community in Galveston, Texas

No detail has been overlooked in this stately home. The open living and dining spaces have a soothing mix of calming grays, crisp whites, and pops of bright teal. High ceilings, elegant recessed lighting, and tons of natural light add to the airy and spacious feel of the room.
A marble-topped, natural wood island with bar seating, a built-in microwave, and a wine fridge leads into the kitchen. White shaker cabinets and gleaming marble worktops create a luxurious and efficient space to prepare coffee, cocktails, casual lunches, snacks— or a full dinner for the whole crew. Stainless steel appliances and a modern vent hood over the range complete the chic space. Down the hall is a laundry room that leads into a powder room.
There’s one bedroom on the main level that has a king-size bed and an attached full bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms are upstairs. First is the master suite, with a sumptuous king-size bed and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with dramatic tile work. The master suite also has access to a sun-kissed balcony overlooking the bay. The second bedroom has two queen-size beds and an attached full bathroom with a step-in shower, and the third bedroom is a bunk room— with two full-over-full bunks and a triple stack of twin-over-twin bunks built into a cozy nook. The bunk room also has its own private full bathroom. Separate from the house on the ground level is a secondary bunk room with custom built-in triple full bunks.
The epic outdoor spaces at this home will draw you outside again and again— to enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, or sip a glass of wine while a pastel pink sunset lights up the sky above you. The main level deck space has two dining tables for hosting memorable alfresco dinners under the stars with the whole family.
On the ground level, there’s even more lounging and dining space— including a barbeque area with a charcoal grill and picnic tables. A dreamy wood walkway winds its way across the shoreline of West Bay and is easily accessible from the home. You’ll want to take many leisurely strolls down this peaceful pathway and perhaps do a little fishing. And when you want to get sandy, Pirates Beach is a 5-minute drive away.
The premier location of this home means that you’re also close to the dining, shopping, and family-friendly excitement of the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier. Pack up your flip flops and book your next getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast at this picture-perfect, peaceful paradise.

To start off- we were very disappointed in this home. We had stayed a few months ago in a similar size home in Galveston and it was amazing and not available this time, so we tried something different but with similar reviews. The maids hadn't been there when we arrived at check-in at 4pm. They came right after and stayed 35 minutes. The home was dirty, had ants, the couch was torn and had nasty stains- which I used sheets to cover- and the home has a lot of deferred maintenance. There were not enough dishes to cook, plenty to eat off of but the ants kept us from doing that, we had to buy paper goods. No tables to sit at for dinner, etc., except outside but there is plenty of room for tables inside. The mosquitoes were way too bad to sit outside, ( not the owner's fault)- there still needs to be seating for the amount of people that can they advertise can stay, and there was nowhere near that amount. A couch, a chair and 3 barstools were the extent of the inside seating. The home had great reviews which is why we chose it. There is not a 5th bedroom which is what was advertised, and online in their listing to sell the home it is advertised as 4 bedrooms. The 5th is a closet in a bathroom with 3 twin stacked beds that no one can even get on except the bottom one and you are sandwiched between the next one. Do not expect or book this is you need 5 bedrooms. This could be a very nice place to stay if it was cleaned up and furnished properly. The views were great.

This house is set up perfectly for a large group or large family! The multiple back patios face the bay and were our go-to place to hang out. There’s a large room with 4 beds, and then a side room off of that with 3 additional beds that made a great kids room, with multiple master suites for adults! We loved how many bathrooms this house had, no one had to fight over a shower!

Home was very clean and had everything we needed for a quick night sleep before cruising. Plenty of room for the entire family. Large covered deck with views of the bay.

Great communication with the host. The property was as expected. Our family (8 people) stayed here for one night before we left on a cruise out of Galveston. The only issue we found was getting pizza delivered to the house : - ) We were out of range for many restaurants, but finally found one.

Booked the house for beach vacation with extended family. Host was very responsive and great at reaching out with reminders. House is in a great location for the beach without having to deal with big crowds or have to pay for parking.

Before leaving this review I did share these deep concerns with the property owner that made the stay difficult and very unpleasant. We were forced to unplug ALL of the smoke detectors in the entire home the first night due to them going off for over an hour after our 8 children (under the age of 11) were in bed at almost midnight. This included us having to go in the attic! Owner said maintenance would come the next am to address the situation and no one ever came so were left with no smoke detectors our entire stay which is unacceptable. Many plugs throughout the house don’t work. The towel holder in the downstairs bathroom was broken and not attached to the wall. The upstairs bathrooms didn’t have any toilet paper holders at all. It appeared there was maintenance happening with all of the unfinished spots of spackle in the home. There were not efficient supplies in the kitchen like pots and pans and serving bowls to make simple meals. No utensils to cook on the grill. The wine fridge had pieces falling apart and was very dirty and sticky. The dishwasher simply doesn’t work and won’t use a soap pod at all. There were several window screens in the upstairs king room on the bed when we arrived that we had to move and that bed completely sinks into a V when sleeping in it. The bunk bed room had a ton of bugs in the beds which was super concerning! The sofa is falling apart with once section completely exposed so you would have to sit on foam you utilize that section. BEWARE!!

Our family enjoyed our stay. It was clean, had everything we needed, and spent a lot of time on dock fishing. Kids caught several. The only hiccup was that the codes were not sent ahead of time but host responded quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

The location is great, I stayed in this area many times. This house could be a little cleaner but overall it was a wonderful stay. Host was great as well. We plan to be back!!!

This place was on point. We had the privacy that we desired. We were only twenty minutes from beach and restaurant. The mosquitoes were a challenge but that couldn’t be helped. Other then that we loved the place.

My family and I stayed here to celebrate my husband's aunt's birthday. It was absolutely wonderful. There were plenty of rooms, a beautiful main open area with the kitchen and family room. The view from the deck was just wonderful. We had the chance to walk along the boardwalk and fish...it was a great vacation. We appreciated the lower level breezeway to sit and visit and the downstairs bunk room was fantastic if there were enough people in our party to use them. The area would be great for teens. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house in a private neighborhood. The game room was a huge hit with the whole family, providing endless entertainment. The home itself was comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. One of the highlights was the neighborhood boardwalk, perfect for leisurely strolls while admiring the picturesque surroundings. We appreciated the sense of privacy and security the area offered, making our stay even more relaxing. The host was warm and attentive, ensuring a memorable experience. Highly recommend this charming getaway for a rejuvenating break!

We were so excited to stay in this beautiful, spacious house for a three day weekend while our kids went to prom. However, the house has a lot of damage (furniture broken, chipped walls, etc) and the owner was not friendly. He threatened to evict us just hours into our stay because a few moms were dropping off food and taking pictures of their kids before prom. We were such a respectful, honest group and I feel we were watched on their security cameras all weekend and not trusted which led to a less than peaceful stay. The views are beautiful and so is the space, but if you are looking to truly relax, I would NOT recommend. I’m disappointed in how the situation was handled overall and the threats of eviction we received along with the host sending security to threaten eviction as well.

This home is beautiful! There was not a single thing to complain about. We enjoyed the spacious rooms, each room having its own bathroom. The stocked, open kitchen allowed us to conveniently prepare food and conversate with family in the living room. To sit on the patio each morning to witness the breathtaking views were amazing. I recommend this house for your vacation.

This home was spectacular and didn’t disappoint in any aspect. The open floor plan and large sectional in the living room allowed for plenty of space for a large family. Breathtaking views from all decks. Enjoyed watching the dolphins swim by each morning. Excellent fishing all around this area. Our family looks forward to our next stay here. The host was easy to reach and responded in a timely manner. Great rental!

Long Weekend At Lafittes Cove
Overall, we loved the property and the location, and we had a great time. However, the online listing was misleading as it stated that it had a 5th bedroom with bunkbeds. What we realized when we got there was that this was more of a 5 foot wide converted closet with a 3 bed bunkbed stack, giving the top bunk only a feet from the ceiling. The room was useless to us as it was actually part of the 4th bedroom, which meant we had to make other arrangements and some of the kids had to sleep on the floor. We got through it, and had a great time, but I believe the on line add needs to be more clear for future renters.

Great 4th of July weekend with family and friends

Horrible family getaway. A/C was broken downstairs. Kitchen, bedroom, couch and bathroom had roaches
My experience at this property was horrible, we left early due to the excessive heat and the overwhelming smell of pesticides. The A/C was broken downstairs. The roaches would not go away, we killed 10 plus roaches and they kept coming out of the couches, kitchen area, stove, bedroom & refrigerator. We also noticed dead/smushed roaches against the door frames and walls throughout the home. The property manager did not follow up with any issues. I definitely would not recommend this place.
