Bungalow with guest house and cozy yard just a short walk to the Seawall

Let the good times roll at Galveston Beach Lodge! This mini-compound has space for 15 people spread out over two homes— the main house in front and the guest suite in the back. This bright and vibrant coastal home is seconds away from the dining and excitement of the Seawall while providing plenty of privacy and peace for your whole crew. In between trips to the beach, take a dip in the cowboy soaking pool, relax on the back patio with a cool drink, and grill some dinner on the outdoor barbeque.

Location: Centrally located on Galveston Island, just 3 minutes from Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn.

Beach access: A quick walk or 30 second drive from the beaches at the Seawall.

Private pool: We have above ground pool in the backyard between the Beach Lodge and Guest Suite! The pool has a wraparound deck.

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 5 cars in the driveway.

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

The main house is a charming ranch style dwelling, welcoming you with a bright turquoise door and trim. Inside, the spacious living area flows seamlessly from the front door to the back, perfect for socializing and connecting with your group.

The open kitchen awaits you at the end of the living area, featuring crisp white cabinets and stainless steel appliances with pops of color on the pantry door and dishware. This well-equipped kitchen is sure to be the heart of your gathering, ideal for preparing everything from morning coffee to refreshing afternoon drinks. A convenient laundry room is located nearby.

For a restful retreat, the master bedroom offers a luxurious king-size bed and a private ensuite bathroom. Another bedroom boasts two comfortable queen-size beds and a built-in full-over-full bunk bed, perfect for families. Walking past the kitchen, you'll find two bedrooms. The bedroom on the right has a King bed with a TV, and the bedroom on the left has a queen bed as well as the washing machine and dryer.

Stepping outside, you'll find a great sized pool and wraparound deck, perfect for your family and friends. Behind the pool is a spacious guest house with a charming kitchenette and bar seating across the cobblestone patio. The living area is infused with cheerfulness thanks to a colorful shiplap accent wall, and is equipped with a comfortable pull-out sofa and a flat-screen TV. Behind the living area lies a queen-size bedroom and a full bathroom with a step-in shower. A wooden patio between the main house and guest house offers a perfect spot for sunbathing, grilling, and enjoying meals together.

Galveston Beach Lodge's unique layout, with two connected homes on one level, is ideal for large groups and families with diverse needs, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for in-laws, grandparents, or older children. Additionally, its prime location, steps away from the Seawall, allows for easy access to restaurants, the beach, and other attractions.

2nd stay was even nicer.
2 night stay after cruise. We'd planned to spend one night after our cruise, but extended for a second night. The place is very clean, comfortable and roomy. Our family had a wonderful time together and enjoyed the extra night playing games and having fun. The owner was very understanding when I notified them that I had a little mishap with a kitchen towel and the stove. I offered to replace it or pay

1 night stay, very comfortable and clean
My family took a cruise out of Galveston. 6 adults from different parts of the country met up here the night before. It was our first time meeting my niece's boyfriend so we were happy to have the guesthouse to let tgem have some privacy and allow her bf to have some downtime away from the family if he needed it. The place was well-equipped with comfortable furniture and bedding. There was more than enough room for all of us and plenty of parking for our 2 cars. We enjoyed our stay and stayed there again after our cruise.

Perfect spot for families of all sizes and ages.
This property was fantastic! It was just around the corner from Moody Gardens for a cheer event and just around the corner from the beach. Lots of room for hosting a large family with privacy for sleeping arrangements. Host was easy to connect with. Clean and well stocked with exactly what we needed. We hope to return again some time. Thank you!

Short term stay before cruise
The accommodations were comfy for our group of 13. Great place to stay before leaving for a cruise. The only complaint is that both restrooms in the main house are located in the bedrooms. There is no common restroom so everyone has to leave their bedroom door open for access to the restrooms. Not a big issue. Plenty of parking which is great for a large group.

Comfortable, spacious home
The home felt great, with plenty of space for everyone. I could move around the kitchen with ease. Salt, pepper, and lots of kitchen utensils and containers were provided. I like how the dining room, living room, and kitchen are all open to each other. The bathrooms had soap, lotion, conditioning shampoo, and toilet paper. The pool seems to be about 4 feet deep the whole way, and we had fun swimming and just hanging out on the deck. There’s a nice outdoor shower to clean off after a beach visit. We did have an issue with the dryer not spinning that wasn’t resolved, but it was fine hanging items on the deck to dry in the sun. I swept the floor daily because the tile just picks up sand and dirt, but that’s to be expected. Overall, I would recommend this home. Though we just had our immediate family, you can fit a lot of people in here.

Roaches, broken or dirty equipment, water leaks, terrible customer service
Upon arrival the outside of the home did not reflect advertised pictures of home, the pool was dirty with leaves, dirt, and algae and the television in the guest house had a busted screen. We tried to do our laundry on the first evening and realized the dryer didn’t work, so we spent the entire week having to lay our clothes out around the house to dry. On the second morning of waking up, one of the bedrooms had a large water pocket in the ceiling and water leaking through the window.. we notified management of the dryer and water leak immediately, they did nothing. The water pocket busted open mid morning and continued to leak the entire week making that bedroom unusable. We moved the bed and furniture out of the way to prevent it being ruined. We continued to reach out to management throughout the week to get these issues fixed and they would not respond. Definitely a 0/10 for the 8 of us. We do not recommend this place or beach box rentals.

No Help from owner -Hurricane Cancellation
We canceled our trip due to what was predicted from Hurricane Beryl. Just hours after we canceled, the Mayor of Galveston announced for voluntary evacuation. Flooding of the island was predicted and warnings were throughout area. We were not willing to risk three families safety. Results of development devastation included power outages throughout 70% of the island. Russell Griffin’s response is that we follow cancellation policy (30 day notice). We are now trying to work directly through VRBO to possibly get a reasonable refund. Our VRBO experience in Branson Missouri was amazing for a last minute detour of our trip! The kids enjoyed the sunny, sandy beach at Table Rock Lake! To be continued…

Awesome place to stay
The house was perfect for our family, such a great location. Russel was fabulous and responded right away. He was so accommodating when we arrived early to Galveston and helping us to extend our trip. My only complaint was the shower/water system. There was very little to no water pressure in the master bath and we could not seem to get the water to warm up as well as we could not get the tub to drain properly. The guest house shower also has very little water pressure. We will definitely rebook the property.
