Sandcastle | Beachfront & Private Walkover

Escape to Sandcastle, a breathtaking 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath beachfront getaway tucked into Galveston’s prestigious Sandhill Shores neighborhood. Sleeping up to 10 guests, this beautifully designed coastal retreat is made for families and groups looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy front-row access to the Gulf.

Wake up to the sound of waves and soak in stunning panoramic views through expansive windows that flood the open-concept living space with natural light. The sleek, fully equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking up seafood feasts, while private balconies off the upstairs suites provide a peaceful spot to sip your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the water.

With your own private dune walkover, the beach is just steps from the door—no shoes required. After a day of sun and sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the grill, and gather around the picnic tables on the ground-level patio for a laid-back dinner with the sea breeze as your soundtrack. The private elevator adds a touch of luxury and makes it easy to move between floors with groceries or gear.

Inside, Sandcastle offers the perfect mix of comfort and privacy. The main level features two cozy bedrooms and a full bath, while the second floor boasts two spacious primary suites, each with its own bathroom and private balcony access. With 3.5 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for everyone to get ready and recharge. Just a short drive from Galveston’s top attractions—like Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and the charming Strand Historic District—Sandcastle combines the tranquility of beachfront living with easy access to island fun.

Book your stay at Sandcastle today and treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind beach escape where sun, sand, and seaside memories are just the beginning.

We truly enjoyed our stay...the only complaint is none of our windows, including the ones into the bathrooms had any type of shade, shutter, curtain for privacy or to keep sun out early in the morning. This was an issue for every single one of my guests, including myself. Everything else was wonderful!!

So upon arrival around o'clock Friday evening, the instructions stated that the lockbox for the keys would be at the post by the stairs. I looked around both staircases and couldn't find it. Luckily enough after about a minute or two of looking for the lockbox, my daughter found it posted underneath the house away from the stairs. Along with finding the keys, we noticed that the trash had not been taken care of and flies were everywhere so we couldnt chill underneath the house near the grill area even if we wanted to, but oh well. We got in the house and thought the house looked amazing, but we did find a hugh crack in one of the windows in the downstairs living room that i took a picture of. I also took a picture of two damp towels and two water bottles that were left in the patio chairs upstairs on the 3rd floor, so apparently someone didnt quite do their due diligence in making sure that the house was completed clean. So we never touched the towels until checkout time and i picked them up using another towel. The main major headache of the trip was figuring out how to lock the front and patio doors!! Even with following the instructions on the door seal and calling the after hours help line three different times without NEVER receiving a callback as promised for assistance, it took me about 2 hours to finally figure it out. Also, there was an alarm device in the second bedroom on the 3rd floor that would randomly beeped like crazy and was very annoying.
