Beach house with 2 decks and patio, ocean views

Near the shores of Terramar Beach, nestled in a secluded coastal neighborhood away from town, sits this Texas beach home with peekaboo views of the Gulf of Mexico. Delight in the salt air and gentle ocean breezes from two spacious decks. You’ll be close to the beautiful Texas beach— while still enjoying the peace of a private community. With sleeping space for 16 people, an outdoor shower, and a charcoal grill, this home has room for everyone in your group to relax and re-charge by the sea.

Location: Terramar Beach community of Galveston, Texas

Beach access: The Terramar beach access point is a 30-second car ride or 3-4 minute walk away.

Community Amenities: Guests have access to the Terramar beach community pool— open Memorial Day thru Labor Day— and the boat launch and marina with the provided keys.

Rent BeachBox: Looking for beach gear for your Galveston getaway? We have you covered! Beach chairs and tents can be ready at the house upon your arrival. Message us for details and rates.

WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.

Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.

Pet policy: Up to 3 pets are welcome in our home with a $25 fee per pet. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if you’re planning on bringing your furry friend!

Parking: There is room for up to 6 cars in the driveway.

Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.

There’s ample parking for six cars in the driveway. Head up the steps and into the open, two-story living area. A sectional sofa faces a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the bright blue sky and the ocean views beyond.

The spacious kitchen has a peninsula bar with seating for four, plus additional seating for your group at the dining table. It’s a great space to linger in the mornings over mugs of coffee and warm blueberry muffins. Or even better, take your coffee outside and watch the pastel pink sunrise over the ocean waves.

The main level has two spacious bedrooms, each with king-size beds— making this home ideal for couples traveling together. A convenient laundry room and a full bathroom that can be accessed from the hallway are also on this level.

At the top of the staircase is a lofted lounging space with a kitchenette— complete with a second refrigerator for extra food storage— that looks out over the main level living area. It’s an ideal spot for kids or teens to find their own space, and the sofa pulls out to a full-size bed. Head outside through the glass door and onto the third-level deck space, with panoramic views of the quiet neighborhood and the ocean beyond. There are two additional bedrooms on this level— each with a queen-size bed and charming, triple-stacked twin-size bunk beds that the kiddos will adore. Who’s gonna get that top bunk? Each bunk room also has its own large vanity and closet space that leads to a shared jack-and-jill bathroom.

When your group is ready to hit the beach, the sandy shoreline of Terramar Beach is only a quick drive, bike, or walk away. Simply slip on your flip flops, throw your beach towel over your shoulder, and go. Guests of this home also have access to a sparkling community pool that’s open from Memorial Day to Labor Day and a boat launch.

Great Communication, but Property Needs Significant Improvements
The property managers were a highlight of this stay—they communicated well and were easy to work with. Unfortunately, the property itself fell short of expectations in several ways: • Unsafe Flooring: Buckling and cracked vinyl floors posed a safety hazard. • Non-Functional WiFi: The provided WiFi did not work, making it highly inconvenient. • Dirty Kitchen: Cabinets were grimy, the stove was unusable due to uneven burners, and basic condiments like salt and pepper were missing. • Laundry Room Issues: Non-functional lights made the laundry room hard to use at night. • Shower Problems: Poor water pressure, a malfunctioning tub faucet valve, and visible mold detracted from the bathroom experience. • Uncomfortable Mattresses: Worn, uneven mattresses made sleeping difficult. • Unusable Grill: The outdoor grill was dirty and uninviting. • Structural Concerns: The house swayed slightly, which was unsettling. Despite the excellent communication, the state of the property made the stay less enjoyable than we had hoped. While we made the best of our family time, I hope the host uses this feedback to improve for future guests.

Overall Good
We enjoyed our stay here. Location was awesome, being able to see the ocean waves from the porch! The house was clean and ready for us. The host was great with all communications and available to answer every question that we had! We really appreciated that SO much! There were 2 downsides to the property for us. One is that we couldn't get the AC below 71 degrees, which made it warm and uncomfortable at night. During the day 71 is just fine. The other downside is that the property itself needs a lot updating/maintenance (I'm talking floors, door jams, paint, etc). The couches were stained and had some weird covers on them (not like the pictures where they look nice and new, but at least they were clean covers). I did, however, really appreciate the nice, newer appliances (microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker). We enjoyed the firepit and the easy walk to the beach! Overall, a pretty good place to stay.

Good and not so good
First, working with Russell at the property management company was great. He was very responsive and checked in via email during our stay. The property itself was just okay. It does need alot of maintenance. As stated in the other reviews, the floors are worn and the fan in the living room wouldn't turn on. A lot of the lights wouldn't turn on either. The ice maker didnt work, the drawers in the kitchen didnt slide open easily and every burner on the stove was tilted so everything you cooked slid out of the pan. Outside on the porch there was a broken chair with screws sticking out of it ( not good with kids around) and none of the porch lights worked. We had 8 adults and five children but there were only 8 bath towels in the whole house. More were supposed to be dropped off but they never showed up. Given there are so many other short term rentals available in the area, I wouldn't choose this property for my next stay.

Clean and plenty of room
Positives: Plenty of room/ Kitchen really well stocked with plenty of glasses/plates & utensils etc and /comfortable beds/Walking distance to the beach. Negatives: large ceiling fan in family room didn’t work but the A/C made up for it and kept it cool. The porch lights didn’t work, the front stove eye was so slanted we had to hold on to the pan to keep it from sliding off. The shower door in the upstairs bath wouldn’t stay closed and the floor would get wet with every shower. The grill was old and nasty. There was a window broken upstairs (probably from the recent hurricane.BUT- all in all we enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time!

Great house for family
This house was great for family! Size was perfect! Location was great! We had such a great time ! Just a few suggestions. Downstairs shower needs to be fixed. Water pressure great but didn’t come out of shower head properly. Laundry room doors need to be fixed so they can close. Mattress on pullout couch was so thin we couldn’t sleep on it without using other mattress as a pad. Those are very small things compared to the rest of this house. So great!! Would definitely come back!!!

This home is beautiful however the AC would barely keep up. We couldn’t change the thermostat lower than 70 because it was locked- Many times the upstairs was hotter than outside. Sleeping 75+ degrees and the downstairs main living room fan was not working. We had to purchase multiple fans to keep as cool as possible but did not sleep well. Bring fans!

Great Beach House!
We loved our stay in this 4-bedroom Beach Home about 24 mins from Galveston.Easy check-in!Both balconies have ocean view.The 2 primary bedrooms both have king-sized beds.One mattress was super firm--great for back after a long day!The pictures are slightly different than what is there now.Living room furniture is worn but comfortable, and the flooring in downstairs living area has been repaired and doesn't quite fit the repaired space.Pics show the house has a dog run, which it does not.Kitchen has LOTS of dishes, flatware, cups, mugs, steak knives, bakeware, pots & pans, and small electrics!!!Way more than I was expecting!Coffee is provided! Also, there is a full-size refrigerator upstairs--very convenient!The upstairs shower is BEAUTIFUL. Nicer than pics! The beds were all very sturdy, and light switches were marked.Washer and dryer are large capacity.Kitchen counter and cabinet space were AMAZING!Public beach is directly across from the neighborhood entrance.You can easily walk.We drove and parked on the beach.We backed the car up to the shoreline and set up the canopy and beach chairs.Incredible day at the beach!!The shower on the bottom level of the home is super convenient and there is a garden hose for rinsing off all of the sand before heading upstairs to the house.The BBQ pit and outdoor firepit were a nice touch and the host maintained EXCELLENT communication!!Plenty of towels and the home was VERY clean!We would stay here again! Definitely recommend!

Necessity’s
I turned a hose on under a house and the water main pvc pipe burst and starting leaking water. Noticed the water about to flood the yard. Took off the top cover to turn water off and empty the residual water sitting in the box to see what was wrong. We turned the water on for a second to see where the leak was and the whole fitting cracked. Had no running water, toilets, or showers for a day and a half, we had to go to a friends house to use toilets and shower. It was overall clean when we first got there, but a broken drawer in the kitchen and the floor being all tore up. I don’t recommend staying here unless it’s for a night max. Not very well maintained.
