Mermaid Manor 1st row on the beach, dog friendly!

FrankRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Best oasis in Texas!!!!! Amazing spot directly on the beach, breathtaking views from multiple balconies for every guest to enjoy, with open entertaining layout inside for our family game nights. Loved the peacefulness being away from the crowded public beaches and having our private beach access. This was a surprise beach retreat to get grandparents, siblings, & our family all together for a fun/ relaxing beach vacation…. PERFECTION!!!!!! We also loved taking the kids to the Rainforest Cafe, aquarium, and mini golf but also going shopping at the outlet mall. Best part of all was that EVERYONE in our family was able to enjoy being together on vacation, including our dog. He loved running around the beach, jumping into waves, & napping in the sun. Highly recommended!!!!!

Getaway to 3 min walk to beach! 3 bed Sleeps 12

MikeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful visit to Galveston thanks in large part to this wonderful house. It was in a nice, quiet location only a few minutes walk from the beach. The house was very clean and well-stocked - plenty of towels, plenty of cookware and dishes, and a nice assortment of beach items/toys for us and our kids. Definitely recommend to others for the reasons above!

“Sunny San Leon Casita”

KurtisRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My wife and I had a great time here. Beautiful waterfront location that feels tucked off from the rest of the world. Lots of amazing restaurants nearby, and still close enough to Galveston Island and south Houston. Will stay here again if we're ever in the area.

KasediRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I had an incredible stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—just steps away from the ocean! The house itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect. I especially loved the outdoor area, which was great for enjoying the sea breeze. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!

Rami's Hideaway| Surfside Beachfront| 2024 Build

DianaRating, 5 stars6 months ago

It was our first time in Surfside beach and had a lovely time. I loved the location, really has a beautiful view and it's beachfront so we could walk up and down the beach. We did a family vacation including my 5 and 2 year old and my sisters baby. Lots of space for everyone. Beautifully decorated. We would book again!

2 Masters/Fully Furnished/Short Walk to Beach

MorganRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Johnson and Courtney were great hosts. They were very responsive, and were happy to help with any issues we had during our stay. They provided a thoughtful welcome basket for us upon arrival which was a sweet and personal touch. The home was beautiful and the area was peaceful. The clubhouse pool areas were very nice and the kids had a blast spending time by the water. The one downside to this place is location. The area is beautiful and private, but most places for food, groceries, and activities are in Galveston which is a 30+ mins drive to most places. If you are looking for a more private and quiet location, this place is perfect. We enjoyed our time in the area and made lots of great memories as a family during our vacation together.

Charming beach house/ Canal living/Grills/kayaks!

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Our family had a great time staying here and would recommend it to anyone. Everything was spotless and there were plenty of amenities. We did not run out of anything for our stay. It was so much fun being able to spend time on both the upper deck and the doc. It was a fantastic stay and would look for this home to stay in again, as we have family in Galveston and travel often to the island.

Three vibrant yellow high chairs are positioned on a wooden deck, complemented by a heart-shaped decor attached to a purple wall. Large windows allow natural light to brighten the space, offering views of the surroundings.

Purple Palm Luxury Beach House, Views & Local Art

ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The Purple Palm was exactly what we were looking for and so much more. We enjoyed how close it was in proximity to both the beach and the bay. We loved that we also had 24 hour access to the fishing area located within the Terramar Beach community. The host, Brandon, was very responsive and helpful anytime we had any questions. We will definitely be booking with him again the next time we visit the area.
