Every detail of this picture-perfect beach house is designed to evoke a sense of serenity and seaside bliss.
"We have stayed at many different places along the coast, and this one is by far our FAVORITE. The house is so thoroughly and thoughtfully furnished, very spacious and well suited for a large family. We had access to everything we needed. The location is ideal. Quiet cul de sac with direct access to the beach … it feels like a private beach. The hot tub was a huge hit … as well as the awesome game console/coffee table. Hours of fun for all ages in our family." – Allison
Nestled along the Gulf Coast, this 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath beach house is a coastal haven sprawling over 2,250 square feet. Boasting direct beach access, it welcomes beachgoers, sunbathers, families and friends with the promise of relaxation from the moment they arrive. Providing the comforts of home, it "takes you awave” to a world of relaxation, just a few steps away from the ocean waves and sandy shore beneath your feet.

“Take Me Awave was the perfect getaway for our family! The house was roomy, nicely appointed and comfortable. The walk to the beach was quick and easy thanks to the dune walkover just outside the home. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals ... We loved the different sitting areas on the deck and enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset each day. The kids loved the digital game board in the family room, as well!” – Lori

Our group of sisters and friends fell in love with Take Me Awave. The Gulf views, big hot tub, clean and spacious rooms, glorious showers, comfy beds & bedding, gourmet kitchen -- all of it! Not to mention access to Galveston's food, entertainment & shopping! Oh, and don't miss the Galveston/Bolivar Ferry -- we saw more dolphins than we could count. Jason & Danielle provided everything we needed for a perfect week at the beach. We'll be back!

Perfect! We loved everything about it!! The house was beautiful. The kids looooved that coffee table with the games in it. It was just a short walk to the beach. There was no seaweed and blue water made it extra nice. I have nothing but great things to say about the home . My daughter left 3 very expensive pillows behind, and although we only got one back, they kept trying to resolve the issue and always responded promptly to my questions. If we had gotten them all back, I would give them 6 stars, but as it was no fault of theirs, I am happy to give them a 5 star review.

What a great house. We enjoyed our stay very much. It was very clean, well stocked, comfy beds, kitchen had everything. The location was ideal. With a 14 year old dog and an 84 year old mother, the ramp was a necessity and gave us all easy stress free access to the house without stairs. Two main floor bedrooms were also appreciated. I would definitely book again.

Amazing house with gorgeous beach views
We had an amazing 1 week stay at this gorgeous beach house! It was comfortable, spacious, clean and have every little detail already thought of and taken care of. Well stocked with everything you need! Parking right out front, and a boardwalk right at your doorstep to get to the beach. The garden has a fenced in yard for the dogs - which was perfect. The grass is beautifully maintained and no sharp burrs for their paws. Gorgeous deck, plenty of seating. Quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend staying here!!
