Picture perfect paradise beckons from this fantastic coastal home located on a protected cove in the Galveston Bay. The Cove House is newly renovated with a modern, clean design to provide the ultimate getaway retreat for your staycation, celebration, family getaway, or corporate event.

The home sleeps 12 guests comfortably with four serene private rooms (one king and three queens) and a spacious bunk room with two queen over queen bunk beds. There are 8 mattresses total, for a maximum of 16 guests.

The second-story living space offers relaxing views of the calm bay from the living room, a cozy library nook, media room, dining space, and adjacent spacious kitchen. This open floorplan space was designed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for entertaining guests or kicking up your feet to enjoy a movie on the media room’s 60” TV. The state-of-the-art kitchen is sure to inspire creativity when preparing home-cooked meals or gathering for a quick snack with a view at the gourmet central island.

The first-floor bunk room is the perfect place to hang out after a long day in the sun. The large space is set up with a TV, comfortable seating area, board games and table tennis to challenge friends and family!

Step out into your backyard to enjoy easy access to swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, boating, and sunbathing by the sea. We have bikes, 2 paddle boards, and a kayak for you to enjoy! Life jackets also available.

After a day on the bay, enjoying the waves at the beach, strolling down Pleasure Pier, dining at the island’s most delicious restaurants, and gallivanting around this lively beach town. After enjoying the island, retire to the Cove House for sunset views and refreshments on one of the three back patios overlooking the water.

The home includes free parking, initial supply of linens and towels, washer and dryer, smart TV, central air/heat, starter supply of paper products and detergents, fully-equipped kitchen with dinnerware, flatware, pots, and pans, plus wireless internet service.

The best home we have stayed at!
This property is everything the listing stated and more! We absolutely loved it! The home was clean upon arrival, had everything we needed (kitchen supplies, extra outdoor items such as balls, fishing rods, etc), and plenty of room for all our guests to feel comfortable. Very spacious and the fishing was amazing! We will definitely be booking here again!

This house was perfect for us with the adult teenagers with us, so them having a separate area work out beautifully. The location was great, neighbors were friendly - loved all the animals around that you could see/visit (with permission). The fishing was fantastic.

What a great place to stay!
Our family had a FABULOUS time staying here. The home itself is beautiful with higher end furnishings, and plenty of room to accommodate our entire family. There were plenty of places to sit and socialize, and all of the beds were very comfortable. We had a lot of luck fishing off the pier at night. Lots and lots of trout and a couple of other types of fish, several of which were keepers! We would love to come back again some time in the future.

Beautiful home on the bay
This house was perfect and exactly as described. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The house was well equipped with everything you could need and we appreciated the extra touches like the hampers in all bedrooms, ice maker, games, books, and kitchen supplies. Our family included 13 of us over 4 generations and we never felt crowded. We could all spend time together or have room to spread out and enjoy quiet time. The beach was only a few minutes away. We would definitely recommend to other families and would stay again.

Great Vacation Rental
The property was great for my father's 80th birthday. The house is well decorated and spacious. The beds were very comfortable which I appreciate! We played yard games, hung out in the water, BBQ'd on the back patio and played lots of ping pong! I have already recommended the property to other family memebers!
