Huge beach house with private boardwalk and gorgeous bay views

Overlooking the tranquil West Bay, this fresh and bright vacation home has enough luxe square footage for even large groups to feel right at home. With two living areas, a barbeque patio, multiple decks overlooking the bay, and private access to the boardwalk— your entire family will quickly become devoted Baydream Believers. Although you’ll be close to the Seawall, beaches, and historic downtown, Baydream Believer is located in one of the quietest, most idyllic neighborhoods in Galveston.

On the main level, the open living area features high ceilings, recessed lighting, and wood floors. Casual and beachy, the entire room is wide open and ideal for large groups and families. Outside through the glass door is a private oasis overlooking the tranquil bay waters— with plenty of seating and space to lounge.

In the kitchen, stylish shaker cabinets are topped with sparkling marble countertops. There’s tons of storage and space to work here— from brewing the morning coffee to preparing an elaborate dinner for the whole crew. You’ll have everything you need and more. A spacious island has casual bar seating for early morning pancakes or post-beach afternoon snacks. Classic white subway tiles and stainless steel appliances add a chic feel to the space. There’s a half bathroom off the kitchen as well as the master suite with a spacious full bathroom and closet, king-size bed and private access to the first level deck overlooking the bay.

Upstairs, an open lofted living area is a great hangout space. Outside is a soaring third-level deck space with panoramic views of the bay. Four more bedrooms provide plenty of flexible sleeping space. The first and second bedrooms have a king-size bed. A third bedroom has two queen-size beds set side-by-side, and the fourth bedroom is a bunk room with two twin-over-full-size bunks and a twin trundle bed. There’s also a large full bathroom and laundry room.

Located on a quiet, curved lane, Baydream Believer is the peaceful Texas Gulf getaway you’ve been daydreaming about. Enjoy quiet mornings overlooking the bay while you sip your morning coffee. Bring your fishing gear and catch your dinner right from the private boardwalk— then grill it on the barbeque.

When your gang is ready to hit the beach, you’re only a quick drive away from the sugary sands of the Gulf of Mexico. And the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Seawall and historic downtown Galveston are a short hop away. Become a Baydream Believer— and make this stunning waterfront villa your new home-away-from-home on the coast.

Only issue was the strong winds on Sunday and Monday were so strong that the house swayed and moved and the wind caught spots on the exterior that made the loudest whistling and whining noise that it was nearly impossible to sleep at night. Other than that, it was fine.

The house was beautiful and very spacious. Cleanliness was a bit of a concern. It wasn’t super dirty. I just wished they swept, vacuum and mopped the floor a lot better that it was done. Upon arrival I had to do all of that to make sure my baby did not pic up anything off the floors. Outside of the cleaning beautiful place.

Recently stayed in this charming house and loved that it was in such a quiet area. The place was super peaceful, and the view of the water was beautiful. The area was safe and perfect for relaxing walks. The house was very clean and comfortable. It's a great spot if you're looking for a quiet place with nice views.

A little disappointed. The 3 main things we were after was a pool (pool was removed), foose ball table, as pictured in Internet (it was not there) and the view, that was a 10. The place was not clean. bugs in the window, dirt and sand on floors, I swept. Please put at least 2 pitchers for tea. All those glasses (good thing) not one single pitcher. Beds were very comfortable and the view is amazing.

Great views in a quiet cove. The house has everything you need. Great use of space. Everyone had a room. Comfortable beds. Easy access to the city and the beach, without feeling like you are in the middle of everything. The house was clean. The host was responsive and welcoming. Overall, we had a great time!
