Escape to Paradise: Stunning Beachfront Getaway on Galveston’s West End

Step into your dream vacation at our gorgeous beachfront retreat, where the gentle sounds of the waves and breathtaking ocean views create the perfect setting for relaxation. Nestled right on the sand, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers an idyllic escape for families, friends, and couples seeking tranquility and adventure in equal measure. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee while watching the sunrise, preparing a meal in the gourmet kitchen, or unwinding on the spacious deck with the Gulf breeze in your hair, every moment here is nothing short of blissful. Let the beauty of the beach wash your worries away as you make cherished memories.

A Private Coastal Haven

Located in the peaceful and private Acapulco Village on Galveston’s serene West End, our beachfront retreat offers stunning views of the Gulf of America, all in a secluded neighborhood perfect for unwinding. With ample space for up to 11 guests (10 in beds and 1 on the living room couch), the home is designed for comfort and connection. The airy, open-concept interior is ideal for gathering together, while the spacious deck provides a front-row seat to the mesmerizing beach views.

Unbeatable Beachfront Views & Relaxation

The remodeled kitchen, with sleek granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, invites you to create memorable meals while staying connected with your group. Enjoy peaceful mornings as the sun rises over the Gulf, filling the home with tranquility. For an extra dose of relaxation, the deck offers uninterrupted views of the beach, where you can soak in the scenery or watch the waves roll in.

Room to Gather & Relax

This home offers plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the beach vibe. The open-concept living area flows seamlessly between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Two large outdoor picnic tables make al fresco dining a breeze, while the large living room provides space for everyone to gather and unwind.

Comfortable Bedrooms & Flexible Layout

With 5 spacious bedrooms, this home is perfect for a large family or group of friends. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while two additional bedrooms and a bathroom are located downstairs, accessible via an outdoor stairway. The downstairs area is perfect for a second family or guests who prefer fewer stairs. Each downstairs bedroom has its own private outdoor entrance, and the bathroom is en-suite to one bedroom, requiring shared access through that room.

Entertainment & Connectivity

Stay connected and entertained with high-speed internet throughout the home, and enjoy streaming apps on the TVs in four of the bedrooms. For some family fun, check out the board games stored in the cabinets, or take advantage of the beach toys, boogie boards, and chairs we provide for your enjoyment.

Beach Essentials & Outdoor Fun

After a fun day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, equipped with both hot and cold water. We also offer storage space for your beach toys and boats, so you have everything you need for a memorable day in the sun.

Pet-Friendly with Ample Outdoor Space

We welcome one well-behaved, housebroken dog (up to 50 pounds) to join your vacation. Please ensure your pet is flea- and tick-free, and follow Galveston County’s leash laws. Dogs must be crated if left unattended and should accompany you when leaving the property. A $20 nightly pet fee applies, and we can discuss exceptions to the one-dog policy with advance notice.

This house was the perfect size for our family. We did have a problem with some loose rails on the deck railing, but the owner was at the house within an hour of reporting the problem and fixed the rails. We had two toddlers, so the quick repairs were appreciated. The house was well stocked, although it was good we brought plastic wear. There is a limited amount of silver wear. Even with our group of big eaters, the pantry was sufficient to hold all our food. We had thunderstorms for most of our stay, but the table upstairs was big enough for us to play cards to pass the time. I was particularly happy to see the gate at the top of the stairs, specifically because we did have toddlers with us. We just had a short walk to the beach. Since there were no houses between us and the beach, the view from the deck was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again.

Pictures are accurate! You are a few steps from the water! Can’t get any closer. We had 8 people for 6 days and were very comfortable. We cooked a lot and kitchen has everything. Nice big fridge. Lots of seasonings, oil, etc. Seating for 10 at 2 tables. Great A/C. Don’t need to bring beach towels or chairs or floats or toys. Lots of games and stuff in the den. Note the downstairs bathroom opens into one of the bedrooms, not Jack and Jill style. Bedrooms downstairs are basically just the beds. No closets or dressers. Stackable W/D works great. We took a pop up tarp for the deck. Be sure to anchor it down!! Great place to stay. Hosts are very available. We had a wonderful time!

We loved the access to the beach. The house was smaller than we expected but we honestly had everything we needed, and our family of 10 fit comfortably. Walmart is close enough for delivery and getting to any of the activities in town is easy! The hosts were so kind and available if needed.

Perfect location!

The location is absolutely perfect! It is within walking distance of the private beach. The large deck that overlooks the beach was nice for hanging out as a family! The property was very clean and there was room enough for our whole family. The hosts thought of everything from sand toys for the kids to use at the beach to beach towels. We would highly recommend staying here.

The location is great. Right on the beach. There are plenty of bath towels, beach towels (located under the large bathroom sinks), beach chairs and toys. We love the layout of the upstairs - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and large family friendly living, dining and kitchen area. Great communication with the hosts. The only negative was the downstairs bedrooms and bath. There was a very strong mold/mildew smell.

Family get away

First day, the cleaner was still there cleaning, 2 hours past check time. Didn’t change the sheets as we saw no linen leaving the house. Rick did compensate us for the lost time, however, after driving 5 hours, this was highly disappointing . The second day, we found mice droppings in pantry and under the kitchen furniture (after it was “cleaned” the day before) and the mice ripped open our food. Rich did come by and put mice traps. We left the food out on the tables, which gave us less space to eat and play games. The carport/ under the deck flooded due to an immense amount of rain and the lack of proper leveling of the ground. There was a hurricane the week prior, so I understand that happens. However, I did specifically ask Rick if everything was good to go for our stay and he assured me it was. It definitely wasn’t. The downstairs smelled like sewage for the next few days. Our family ended up digging ditches manually so the room downstairs didn’t flood (as they were starting to) until Rick came the next day to level out the ground. So the third day, we lived in a construction site. The fourth and fifth days were finally fine was nothing went wrong and we were able to enjoy the house as intended. The house itself offers GREAT space with a perfect location. Towels, toiletries, tvs/streaming, games etc etc were definitely appreciated. We were compensated for these issues which I appreciate but not enough to want to stay again.

The home is very accommodating to needs for a vacation. One thing that would help is if at least one other bedroom had double beds. It's right on the beach which was wonderful since my mother has a hard time walking. The view is fabulous and the balcony/porch is huge. We enjoyed the stay so very much and would use this house again.

Walking to the beach with FAMILY

It was amazing being this close to the beach. We're a large family so we were able to make one trip to the beach with all our gear. The upper level was ideal with enough sitting in the living room, the kitchen was spacious and well equipped, bedrooms/baths were very nice. However, the 2 bedrooms and bath downstairs weren't ideal, but my grown kids made it work. The only thing we had a problem with was the smell of the septic system, so we always had something cooking to make it smell better. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home on the beach.

Great Place!

Great place! It’s kind of hard to find a place with good beach access that’s affordable and has Queen or larger beds in most rooms. This property has it! Three couples all had queen or larger beds, the two kids has their twin beds. The shower downstairs came in clutch to get the salt and sand off and there was a little hose on the top deck to wash all the sand off your feet and shoes once you got upstairs. It’s a short walk around the dune to the perfect spot on the beach. The owners are super responsive but we only had to reach out once! I hope we can book again for our next family vacation!
