Private Fishing Pier, Panoramic Bay Views, Gated Community

Welcome to Branden's Bayhouse, the ultimate bayfront retreat in Galveston, Texas, where the vibe is as chill as the panoramic views are breathtaking. Nestled in a gated community, this place is all about soaking up the good life with your crew - and yes, that includes your furry friends!

With plenty of room for 12, this contemporary retreat should be an easy “yes!” when it comes to planning your next island getaway.

The open floor plan boasts vaulted ceilings, a massive sectional couch, and a wall of windows that lets in all the bay’s glory. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with shiny stainless steel appliances including a 6-burner gas range, granite countertops, and a big island where you can prep your catch of the day or just hang out with a snack. The dining area, with seating for eight, faces the bay, so you can dine with a view. Plus, there’s a deep, partially covered deck off the main level perfect for dining al fresco or sipping something cool and watching the world float by.

The primary suite is on the main level, featuring a king bed and direct deck access for those morning views you won't want to miss. It’s got a bathroom that’s practically a spa, with a separate tub and shower plus dual sinks. Upstairs, there’s a queen bedroom with its own deck access (because everyone deserves a piece of that view), a full-over-full bunk room with a private deck that’s perfect for the kiddos or a small family, and a room with twin bunks that’s ideal for late-night whispers and giggles.

But that’s not all! This bay house boasts three decks (two partially covered for those who like a bit of shade and one fully covered), central A/C, and enough TVs to keep everyone entertained. The ground level is where you’ll find parking for four cars, a finished patio with a picnic table for casual meals, an enclosed outdoor shower to rinse off the day, and – get this – a private fishing pier with elevated deck. There’s even a boat slip, so bring your gear and get ready for some epic catches.

Branden's Bayhouse isn’t just a place to stay; it’s your new favorite family tradition waiting to happen. Whether you’re here to fish, soak up the bayfront beauty, or just relax with your loved ones (including the four-legged ones), this spot’s got everything you need for that perfect Galveston getaway. So, pack up, head across the causeway, and let the good times roll at Branden's Bayhouse soon.

Best place in Galveston

The property was just as beautiful as described. Very clean and comfortable couch and beds. It was roomy and had a very nice private dock. We normally do a once a year trip to galveston and by far this property was the nicest ever.

Relaxing

Sand N Sea, the property company was great. Had a few issues with the house, Sand N Sea addressed them promptly. The issues on first day were that the sink and shower heads were clogged. They needed repair. Also, hot water went out and needed repair. Finally, the owners still have not fixed the electrical problem on the fishing pier. We booked this house last October and same issue. Had to buy long extension cords to get electricity to the pier lights to night fish. On the positive side, the house is very spacious and plenty of room for our family . Views were spectacular. We were so relaxed that we stayed another night. Family had a very relaxing trip. We rented Kayaks and had a blast. Bring your own outdoor seating, no cushions on the outdoor chairs or lounges. If the owners would give the house some TLC it would receive a 5 star review.
