Willy's Place: 3rd Row Gulf View Home with Updated Interior & Rooftop Sun Deck
Live life at a slower pace at Willy’s Place! Combine the 3rd row Gulf view, rooftop sunning deck, updated furnishings (2023), and short drive to Historic Downtown Galveston and you’ve got yourself the perfect recipe for island relaxation. Bring 10 of your friends or family for an unforgettable getaway!
From the moment you step inside this island oasis, you’ll be greeted by soothing neutrals and rich shades of blues & aquas. The comfy modular sectional is carefully positioned to take advantage of Gulf views, and its storage cubbies hide a full board game library with fun options for all ages. Pull the sections out to create a full-on lounge area that’s perfect for movie nights on the 60” Smart TV – throw blankets & additional pillows provided, just add popcorn!
Nearby you’ll find the large dining table that easily accommodates 8 – 10 for family meals. Beachy woven chairs and a fully stocked set of dishes, glassware and utensils are all ready to serve up your favorite homemade treats, fresh Gulf seafood, or takeout from one of the island’s delicious local eateries.
The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, and serving ware. Stainless steel appliances make cooking a breeze, and the peninsula can be used for serving or casual breakfast dining. Speaking of bright beachy mornings – the espresso bar is fully stocked and ready to put a little pep in your step for a day full of adventure.
Perfect for families traveling together, Willy’s Place features thoughtfully appointed bedrooms with all the features you need for a relaxing beach trip. The king size primary suite boasts plush bedding and plenty of storage space for your vacay wardrobe (though you can pack light and take advantage of the washer & dryer in the home, too!). The en suite full bath features ample storage, a laundry basket, and walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms are found on the other side of this cozy beach house, with a full bath in between. The queen bedroom boasts plenty of pillows, extra throws, a travel crib, and storage space as well. The fun bunk room is a dream come true for the kiddos with 3 twin bunk beds, fascinating fish décor, ocean-themed books, a play table, kid-size ottomans & more.
Outside is where the magic happens! The rooftop deck is a great choice for sunning watching the dolphins surface in the waves. The main level deck is a shaded oasis with a plush outdoor seating area - perfect for unwinding and conversing with your favorite people.

Our stay at the house was great. The only issue was that the bedroom TVs showed "No Signal" on all the various inputs. We called the problem in twice, but nobody came to fix the issue.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Sand and Sea was great, responded to our needs quickly. House was close to the beach.
Overall impression, The house had no curb appeal. It has not been well taken care of, there was bird poop on the balcony railings, paint peeling off, it obviously had not been cleaned before we arrived. The inside was clean, cute and comfortable.
We enjoyed the stay, but would not rent it again.
