Make the most of your next trip to the Bolivar Peninsula at this lovely, secluded home within walking distance of the beach! Spend your afternoons admiring the view of the bay, relaxing on the furnished decks, and enjoying the summer breezes and sunsets with friends and family. This home is wonderfully secluded in the small town of Gilchrist on the Bolivar Peninsula, across the highway, and within walking distance from the beach. You can easily discover everything this area offers, including local restaurants and shops, the Smith Oaks Sanctuary for some birdwatching, and the community of Crystal Beach 10 miles west. Fun Spot Water Slide is a short drive away, offering amusement for the whole family. Galveston Island makes a great day trip, where you can check out the newest exhibits at Moody Gardens before flying down the water slides at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark.

You'll never want to leave as soon as you enter this beautiful home. Enjoy plenty of indoor and outdoor space for everyone to spread out, large bedrooms with plush beds that ensure a great night's sleep, and a full kitchen where you can prepare your favorite home-cooked meals

Great Family Vacation
We needed a home stay for 11 relatives to stay together. This was a beautiful home, with relaxing views, and close to the beach for fun with the teenagers. Thank you.

The dryer had no ON knob, so it did not work nor did the jetted tub in the master bath, .there was a condom wrapper by the night stand in the loft and hairs on the bed when we got there and there was a wad of toilet paper in the master toilet that was to big to flush and many lightbulbs throughout the house didn’t work..

Great get away
Great experience, maintenance came quickly on a water issue and it was fixed. Great views, further from the beach than I thought, but it is still close. Recommend bringing additional cooking utensils if you plan to cook a lot.

A lot of up and downs
poor lighting, stairs shaky , the fridge not in good shape. The best part was that it was close to the beach. And the whirlpool tub not working. It does have nice outside grill and table. My grandma came and was very hard for her to go up and down the stairs she ended up sleeping on the couch.

The pictures make this s cabin look great. In actuality it's not clean and needs lots of repairs. I was very excited to see this property but I was disappointed. The elevator for luggage almost cut me in half. We talked to property management. They never sent anyone to disable are put signs showing the danger. All they could do is try to play it off that it was my fault. I will never recommend Vacasa to anyone. I hate to write a bad review but it's needed. With a little work it could be great. And hire a new cleaning service cause they do a horrible job.
