Plan a family reunion you'll always remember at this six-bedroom Galveston home, a spacious, dog-friendly escape with views of the Gulf of Mexico, easy access to the beach, and community amenities that include a shared swimming pool, kiddie pool, pavilion, and laundry facilities.

This multi-level home sits on the west end of Galveston Island in Pointe San Luis, offering generous space for up to 25 guests (including a maximum of 16 adults). Spend lazy days and evenings in the community swimming pool and kiddie pool, walk less than 1,000 feet to reach the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico, and take atmospheric evening strolls through downtown Galveston 23 miles east.

With two separate living areas and 3,000 square feet of interior space, this home allows guests an optimal blend of togetherness and solitude. Come home from the beach to find a football game on the flatscreen cable TV, curl up on one of the leather sofas and browse the free WiFi, or grab a book, a cold drink, and a deck of cards and sit outside on one of several balconies.

When you're not fishing, windsurfing, and building sandcastles on the beach, you can lounge in the sun by the community pool, or take your dog for long walks along the coast (please note that a two-dog limit). Prepare homemade dinners in the full kitchen (with stainless steel appliances), enjoy al fresco meals in the shade on the patio, and gather on the deck for a lovely view of the Gulf at sunset.

Reconnect with your loved ones on the majestic Texas Gulf Coast - plan your getaway to Galveston today!

The property was filthy when we got there. The floors were sandy and sticky, the dishes in the cabinets had crumbs on them, the dishwasher and washer and dryer did not work. The whole house is in a state of disrepair. Trash was overflowing from the garbage cans outside when we checked in to the point that there were maggots by the garbage cans. The grass was long so there were tons of mosquitoes. Some beds that were already made had crumbs in them. There was hardly any toilet paper, dish soap, and paper towels to get us started. To add insult into injury they supplied us with a code to the pool but there was no pool. When we called to inquire on the location of the pool they said a key was required. We were sent on a wild goose chase all over the house looking for the pool key. When we couldn't find it they said one would be brought over and they'd clean the house and empty the trash while they were at it. You know where this is going, nobody showed up to do any of the promised services. The sad thing is that this was probably a good house at some point but neglect has just caused it to be a dump. There were roaches in the kitchen and in one bedroom. I'm surprised this listing is on Expedia, Vacasa, and VRBO. It is a dump but I guess the joke is on me since I was excited to find a reasonably priced vacation home. It should have been free

The good things: plenty of space for my family of 16 and having 4 restrooms also helped. Not immaculate clean but clean enough. The bad: beds are very uncomfortable, a/c upstairs was not working well so kinda hot up there. Needs more pots and pans for cooking. The ones there were very crappy. No cleaning supplies or brooms or mops to clean up while you’re there so take your own. All in all it was just ok. I’ve been in better and I’ve been in worse. You can tell the house is just used for just rental so everything in there is very cheaply made. 3 out of 5 stars for me…..

We loved all the beds in the house. Pet slept our family as we celebrated a 70th birthday. They were minor issues like no broom to sweep up with, not a lot of gas in the grill, and a coffee pot that had seen better days. Luckily, I always travel with a coffee pot. Otherwise, the house was great and served its purpose. We would definitely think about coming back again.

I wanna start by saying I have no idea why there’s some bad reviews. I took a gamble on it and my family & I won BIG. The beach house is ALOT nicer in person. It was clean and very accommodating and spacious. They even provided extra blankets, pillows, and air mattresses. The host didn’t bother us but was attentive, helpful and considerate when I needed help getting checked in. My family had an awesome time and I’m happy that this host made that possible. Thank you so much for hosting your beach house to us. 💜
