Located right across the street from 27 miles of pristine beaches, this elevated, dog-friendly vacation rental is the perfect destination for a restful, relaxing ocean retreat.
This home lies on the secluded Bolivar Peninsula, about 30 miles from Galveston and just outside the small town of Gilchrist. With the sand and surf just a few steps away, you'll have incredible access to one of the most uncrowded stretches of beach on the Texas coast. Fly a kite in the breeze or wade in the warm water to your heart's content! For a change of pace, head east to the Smith Oaks Sanctuary for world-class birdwatching, or catch a free concert at Stingaree Restaurant and Marina.
When you're not exploring the island, you'll love spending your leisure time at this unique, family-friendly retreat. Beautiful hardwood floors create a cool, comfortable place to relax while watching TV or surfing the free WiFi. Pick up some fresh fish from the market and fix yourself a delicious seafood dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, then head downstairs to the covered mezzanine to dine in the open air as the ocean sparkles in the distance. For a small fee, you can even bring your canine friends along to join in the fun too! (Two dogs max, please.)

Summary: The house is a gem with a beautiful view! The 3 bathrooms were a huge plus. The middle deck area is very cool. We had no issues with mosquitoes on any level. I had to contact the management company 4 out of 5 days and some issues were never resolved. Although the listing says there is cable, there is not. There is a blu-ray player that you can stream your Vudu account from (the only platform available), but it consistently freezes up because the Wi-Fi is not good at all. Take a few DVDs to wind down with after an awesome day at the beach. We chose this location to be out of the highly populated area and there were very few people on the beach. Make sure to take beach towels, because even though they are on the listing, they are not included. The repair woman was very nice and fixed everything she could while she was there. Now that they are putting in a new fridge, I would stay here again. A welcome book with house and local information would be a nice addition. If you’re looking for a beautiful home with great front and back views to unplug and spend quality family time, this is the place to go.

Summary: The property was cute inside and out. Great beachfront view. Quick trip by ferry to Galveston. We came at the end of season so it was scarcely populated and we had plenty of room to enjoy the beach and scout the area by jeep!

Summary: Great access to the beach, take bug spray for mosquitoes dusk and dawn if you’re on the ground level. Patio level was awesome!! No bugs and a beautiful 360 view. House level is great too. Had a wonderful time and everything was provided. Big issue was the dishwasher but we reported it so they should fix it so it’s is anchored.
