Oceanview Beach House - steps from the beach, really close to Galveston. TipSea!

We have the blender you bring the drinks to Feelin’ TipSea, a West Galveston beach house! This 3 bedroom 2 baths quaint beachside home in Spanish Grant is located on a low-traffic lot-perfect for families with kids. It is a short 2 minute walk to the private beach accessible only to the residents and vacationers in Spanish Grant-no vehicle traffic to disturb your relaxing day on the beach and not fighting crowds for a spot on the beach. Feelin’ TipSea can easily sleep up to 10 guests.

The home showcases vaulted stained planked ceilings. The well-appointed living/kitchen provides views to the gulf and is complete with a large island that seats 4 and dining table that seats 8. The main living area on the first floor has ceramic tile and all of the bedrooms have carpet. The second floor bedroom with stained planked ceilings is currently used as a bunk room with 3 sets of bunk beds. The ground floor has a hot/cold shower to rinse the sand away, washer, and dryer. Additional features include WiFi, smart TVs (in living room and bunk room), and board games for family friendly competition.
The horizon views of the Gulf of Mexico can be enjoyed from the deck on the sturdy patio furniture with wine or coffee in hand. The wrap around deck makes for a great sunrise or sunset view point. The ground level has a large picnic table, a charcoal grill, and outdoor lighting that makes a great place to hang out day or night. The ground level storage room contains beach chairs and a wagon full of kids beach toys (buckets, shovels, etc.).
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Very nice space. Perfect set up upstairs for the kids with their own bathroom and shower. Short walk to the beach. Convenient store and Mario’s pizza just down the street. Gave off a very at home feeling so I will definitely like to rent again.

Seconds to beach

This was a great spot. Seconds to the beach and a quick few minutes to the seawall. The place had a ton of room for a bunch of kids to hang out and play upstairs. Good cable TV and wifi. Great little shed downstairs with beach stuff and a full bath. Jeff was super responsive and a nice guy. Thanks for having us!

Family vacation disrupted

Our family vacation started great. The children were excited to sleep in the bunk beds. Little did we know that the room with bunk beds is infested with bedbugs. 3 out of the 6 children were bitten by bed bugs. The youngest being 7 years old. We know for sure it was from our stay in the beach house. We even found one of the bed bugs on the trundle bed. We sent the owner of the house photos with no resolution. The owner simply replied they could be mosquitoes and thanked us for being it to their attention. Mosquitoes don’t leave a trail of bite marks. We are perplexed as to why this house has a 5 star rating. We would have never rented it if we had known our children would be eaten alive every night from bed bugs. Also, we encountered sugar ants in the kitchen. We couldn’t leave any food on the counters. Our goal is to make other families aware. We sincerely hope the home is exterminated and bedding is replaced.

Nice Family House

This house had everything we needed. The outdoor shower was great for the kids! Although a little smaller than other houses we have stayed at, it never seemed to be a problem. The wrap-around porch was so nice to sit on in the evenings with the gulf breeze coming up the street from the gulf. The walk to the beach was short and easy - the beach is right off the end of the road. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great Galveston Getaway!

We loved our stay in Galveston, Check-in, and Check-out-was very easy, Jeff text the first day to make sure we had everything that we needed. I love that if I would have had an issue they were a phone call away. The easy access to the beach was wonderful!! The rain did not stop us. Loved the open concept of the beach house. Plenty of beach chairs and beach toys. We did not take ours out. Thank you again - Jeff and Cheryl thank you for your wonderful hospitality. The Rechners
