Gorgeous Bayfront Home with Scenic Water Views, Private Boardwalk + Fishing

Located on the banks of the tranquil bay in the exclusive Galveston Bay Club, this serene and secluded home is a welcome escape from the daily hustle-and-bustle. With three covered porches and sweeping views of the bay waters from nearly every room, you’ll feel all your stress melt away from the moment you arrive. 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

Beach access: A quick 5 minute drive from multiple west-end beaches.

Community Amenities: Guests have access to the boardwalk winding along the water's edge, perfect for sunset strolls and fishing.

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.

Not a 5 bedroom house
It's really a 4 bedroom house, with a closet off of one of the bedrooms with 3 stacked twin beds. Luckily one of our families cancelled at the last minute. Also some basic condiments in the kitchen would be helpful, ie. salt, pepper. Other than that the house was comfortable, peaceful with a beautiful view of the bay.

We stayed here as a little staycation to be close to the beach while I flew in from out of town and was very pleased with the property. Very nicely kept, clean and you can’t beat the view. The manager was always great to communicate with and it was great that we were able to bring our pets.

Could be a great house
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.

Perfect for Families!
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!

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.

BEWARE!!!
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!!
