Surrounded by walls of windows, the contemporary living area boasts a plush sectional sofa, side chair & pub-height table perfect for card games. The dining table seats 6, and you’ll love indulging in fresh Gulf seafood surrounded by windows overlooking the large palm trees that wrap around one side of this fun beach house.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Host was very welcoming, the water in the shower didn’t get that hot. We also had to kill a few bugs while staying there. The fridge didn’t get that cold so we just kept the drinks in a cooler. For the most part it was clean however you can tell the corners don’t get done.

Beach with a dog

Really lovely location convenient to the dog-friendly beach. The rental company was very responsive. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need to cook, too. Had a great time there.

An honest Review for larger families

The location and communication were great and the check in/out process was simple! Best parts were the porch and the location for sure! Plenty of storage for belongings for a longer stay as well! The overall quality of the home was a little disappointing. Maintenance could be done on the home to make it a bit more hospitable. The hot water heater was not able to accommodate a group of 8 even with showers and washing spread throughout the day. Many cold showers! The lock bock to get the key got suck and we had to work at it to get the key pad to reset so we could get the key back in it for checkout. Also, the floors have a lot of soft spots and separation which was a little concerning but not a hindrance to us enjoying our stay. The only hesitation I’d have to staying with a group again would be the hot water situation!

Rainy weekend beach house

We loved the house and had a great stay. We like the privacy and quiet of Pirates Beach, and this house was best by far that we have rented. It was a close 3 block walk to the beach, and despite being a rainy weekend (November in Galveston...who knew?) The house was very comfortable and conducive to having a relaxing stay.
