Island Breeze | Short Walk to Beach

Welcome to Island Breeze, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath beachside retreat located in the heart of the Pirates Beach Subdivision in sunny Galveston, Texas. Just a short walk from the shoreline, this cozy home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests and offers the perfect combination of comfort and coastal charm for your next family getaway or relaxing escape.

Enjoy the Gulf Coast lifestyle with refreshing sea breezes and relaxing views from the large, partially covered upstairs deck—an ideal spot to sip morning coffee, read in the shade, or soak up the sun. Downstairs, the shaded patio area is designed for outdoor enjoyment, complete with wooden swings, deck chairs, picnic tables, and a large barbecue grill for memorable family cookouts. Plus, you’re only minutes from the beach for endless fun in the sun.

Inside, Island Breeze welcomes you with breezy island decor and comfortable furnishings that make it easy to feel at home. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area keeps everyone connected whether you're cooking meals, enjoying a movie night on the big-screen TV with DirectTV and Blu-ray/DVD player, or simply relaxing after a day at the beach. With three bedrooms—including two with queen beds and a third featuring a pyramid bunk, twin trundle, and an additional twin bed—there’s room for the whole crew. The home also includes family-friendly amenities like a Pack and Play, high chair, and booster seat, along with a thoughtful touch of tropical landscaping featuring hibiscus and palm trees.

What really sets Island Breeze apart is its array of included extras: 4 adult cruiser bikes, 2 children’s bikes, boogie boards, coolers, and beach toys—offered at no additional charge to help you make the most of your island stay.

When you're ready to explore, you're just a 5-minute walk from the beach and a short drive from Galveston's top attractions. Spend the day at Moody Gardens or splash around at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, both less than 10 miles away. Head into town to discover local seafood restaurants, boutique shops, and historic sites along The Strand or visit nearby 61st Street for more dining and entertainment options.

The rental was as advertised and better. Check in/out was straight forward and we were even allowed to check in a little early. Kitchen was well stocked as were the bathrooms. Plenty of washing machine and dish washer tabs were available which can be an issue for rentals. Outside deck was especially nice in that it had a gate to block the stairs which enabled us to let the dog out while remaining contained on the second level. All in all it was a great trip and I would not hesitate to rent Island Breeze again.

Great location in Galveston just a few minute walk from the beach. Quiet neighborhood yet close to everything you'd want to do in town. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need to prepare your own meals and access to the bikes and beach toys was an added bonus we really appreciated.

We love island breeze! We have been coming here every year since we moved to Texas in 2017. It’s cozy, clean and feels like a home away from home. We love the location and they have lots of beach toys for the kids :) Already looking forward to coming back next year!

Great time at the beach

What a great spot for the family to get together. The house is just as advertised easy to find and the beach is right there. We ate at a little local pizza place that was family friendly also. Grilling in the evening as the swings kept the kids rocking. Thank you for having the family get together at your place.

Relaxing, enjoyable stay

Island Breeze is a very comfortable, welcoming house with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with good cookware, cooking utensils, appliances and accessories. The deck has comfortable furnishings, although there is not even a sliver of a view of the Gulf. However, it is a very short walk to the beach. The ground floor/carport area has two nice swings, a grill area and bikes in the garage for guest use. Our family of 4 had a most enjoyable, relaxing stay.

Great location for family

We had an excellent stay! Perfect house for small family. Nice bathrooms and kitchen and a short walk to the beach that was not too crowded. Property management communicated well and maintain the property nicely. Biggest complaint (and it’s minor) is there were no extra trash bags other than the 1 left by the management group and no bags in the bathroom trash cans. Also none of the guest beds had any sheets put on them already so I had to make the beds needed when we arrived after a long travel day. Overall I’d recommend and would love to stay here again if we return to Galveston.

Island Breeze

Beautiful property! Great location for a quick walk to Pirate Beach! Location is great very close to grocery stores and Restaurants. The only negative was wish we would have know to bring toiletries such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags. We also did have an issue with the bedroom TVs being set with a parental block we couldn’t even watch the news. It was a little frustrating and we never got it resolved per Direct TV only the owner could resolve this. We would however recommend this property and will use again!
