Beach house vacation rentals in Galveston Bay

We loved staying here and Steve was a great host! There were some plumping issues (something apparently the city has struggled with since the hurricane) but Steve was so responsive and helpful and had it fixed in no time! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a relaxing beach weekend!

This is one of the cutest beach houses on the block. It’s a very short walk to the pier with lots of dining options. The house itself has all the modern amenities like wifi, tv’s in each room and a full kitchen. It’s very cozy with two bedrooms and an open living room. The one bathroom could be coordinated without incident. Highly recommended as the neighborhood is relatively quiet and offers a front deck when relaxing at home.

My family had a wonderful vacation! Everyone said this was their favorite beach trip. The layout of the house was perfect, we loved the huge island in the kitchen for preparing meals and eating, the view from the porch was my favorite part and the house was very clean. Most of the time, we had our own private beach! It was so relaxing.

We have stayed at Terry and Katherine’s place before and as always WE ENJOYED!!! The beach front is awesome. The deck is PERFECT for watching boats, people, but for us, it was the sunrises!! The house isn’t cluttered and there’s lots of room in the living area! They allow my fur baby too which was amazing! The master bedroom was large and bed was comfy!! The kitchen had all we needed and overall we enjoyed their place! Definitely recommend to stay here! You just can’t beat the view!

We really enjoyed our stay at Vincent’s beach house. The beach is literally a few steps outside the front door. All the bedrooms and the livingroom have decks with a nice view of the beach. We stayed during Spring Break. The beach is private access so it was peaceful and was not crowded. The kids loved the hideaway spot at the top floor and made it their own little space. This place has a lot of space. The kitchen is fully equipped with a huge refrigerator. I would definitely stay again.

Haley is a great host! She has been quick to respond to our questions and very accommodating. The house was well equipped, very comfortable, and the proximity to the beach was great! This is definitely on our list of "would do it again".

Melissa’s place had everything we needed. It was so nice to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean or relax in the cozy living room and watch a movie. We enjoyed walking down the beach and ate at The Seahorse Grill several times. I recommend their queso and coconut shrimp.

House is in a great location right on the beach with easy access to and from. Being able to sit out on the deck and listen to the ocean was very peaceful!

We had a very enjoyable 4 days in Taras beautiful home. Tara did a tremendous job she thought of everything that a family would need including the above ground pool/toys /beach. Very clean and relaxing. We felt very comfortable and safe. We will definitely go back.

Great stay for families with kids and teenagers. Lots to do and close to the beach and Pleasure Pier. Lots of common space to hang out and socialize.

We had 75 degree weather and rain for 5 days straight in July. Who would have thought?! Having the hot tub and fire pit really saved the trip for us. We did make it down to the beach each day for a couple hours but it was rainy and cool so we came back and warmed up in the hot tub. House was very clean and had a great selection of beach toys to borrow. Terrible mosquitos, but I think thats normal for the area and the amount of rain. Overall we had a nice time and would return. Thanks Adam for sharing your home.

This was our third time staying at the Flip Flop Inn, and it remains our favorite AirBnB out of many, many that we have stayed at all over the world. We love the decor/atmosphere, and the house is simple and bright, with plenty of room for our two families of four, but still feeling like a simple house that is not stressful to manage while staying there (like some luxury rental homes can feel). The back deck is a very pleasant place to hang out and pass the time.

Highly recommend this house for your Galveston stay especially if you have a large group! Absolutely loved the open floor plan and the front balcony was amazing for the kids to play. The pool was incredible and stocked with so many pool toys for the kids. The beach is super close - even with kids who like to take their time walking - it didn't take us more than 5 minutes and we had toes in the sand! The hosts were the most responsive and helpful that I have ever experienced - you cannot go wrong with this house! We had an incredible time and would absolutely stay here (or in any of their properties) again!

Jonathan was an amazing host even thought some stuff came up, he was 100% responsive and attentive, the house was absolutely beautiful, we will definitely book the place again in the future!

We had a fantastic stay. The pool was great to have and was very private from any neighbors. The home has a lot of great dining options nearby which we enjoyed. The house was beautiful and was a great place for a family vacation.

nice spacious place. relaxing backyard to spend time in. close to restaurants and beach

The rental was great. The owners were super responsive and friendly. The place was just the right size for us and super clean. We spent lots of time on the cozy covered porch and enjoyed the breezy days and evenings. The short walk to the beach was easy and felt safe. We were glad we brought blankets because it got chilly! We would definitely stay again!

The house is gorgeous and it has the most amazing views. Sunrise from the master bedroom windows was the highlight of each morning. The owners were helpful and very responsive - we had one or two small issues at checkin that they handled immediately. We loved the closet of board games! The area is quiet and there is only one grocery store but it had everything we needed. We didn’t go to any local restaurants. A few things to consider: the listing says 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. This is true but one bedroom and bathroom is in an apartment downstairs so it wouldn’t be good for kids. It is a longer walk than it appears to the beach. It was fine for me and the kids but would’ve been way too far for someone with mobility challenges. The kitchen wasn’t as stocked as I had hoped (no real glass wine glasses, only plastic, not a lot of silverware, short supply of spatulas etc). Finally, there were no amenities for the beach, no buckets or shovels, no beach towels, so pack your own.

What i love about surfside how quiet and peaceful it is and the water is clear nothing like the big city like galveston and dirty water and this home was extremely spacious and loved how tall the ceilings were ! They had a playpen and several baby things which was extremely helpful for our stay with our infant ! I would definitely recommend this place to anybody !

Place was beautiful. View is amazing and the spa was great. Has everything you need with extra. Very well stocked.

We had a great stay at Casa Surfside. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Quality appliances and kitchenware that made cooking easy. Plenty of towels and toilet paper. Comfy furniture. Loved all the beach gear and toys for the kids! The location was excellent. Definitely recommend staying here!

The house was perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked and the beach front location can't be beat. Cathy was great to work with and very proactive in her communication. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful space, very nice to hang out with the friends. I saw previous reviews saying the fridge was small, but they must of changed, because it's a full sized fridge with a mini fridge upstairs. Hà was easy to communicate with and helpful. The bbq was charcoal not gas. Rooms were nice, kitchen had plenty of items and a lot of fun random DVDs. The beach is easily accessible, and it was a pleasure to sit on the deck. Nice views

This house exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s clear that the owners put a lot of care into maintaining the property and ensuring guests have a comfortable stay. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a fun family vacation spot, this house is an excellent choice. The host was exceptional—very responsive and friendly. From the moment we booked, they made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth check-in and stay. They were always available to answer any questions.
