The soaring three-story facade features classic white picket detail and a generous front porch. The elevated living and dining area is surrounded by loads of large windows that allow the bright Texas sunshine in.



A peninsula island leads into the completely open and vibrant kitchen. A shimmering backsplash the color of sea glass compliments the white shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need— from brewing the morning coffee to preparing an intimate family dinner. Chic metal pendant lights illuminate the gleaming marble-topped workspaces.



Down a short hallway are a laundry room, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The first bedroom on this floor has a queen-size bed with custom built-in twin-size bunk beds. The second bedroom has a king-size bed. The full bathroom can be accessed from the hallway and features a glass-enclosed, step-in shower with spa-like tile details.



Upstairs, the grand master suite has a sumptuous king-size bed and a small sitting area. Glass doors flood the room with natural sunlight and lead out to the sun-kissed private balcony with views of the peaceful neighborhood and the ocean beyond. The master bathroom has a soaking tub and a step-in shower that are surrounded with slabs of gorgeous Carerra marble, and double vanity. A small room off the master suite has a triple stack of twin-size bunk beds. An additional bunk room on this floor has two full-over-queen size bunks, while another full bathroom with a step-in shower can be accessed from the hallway.



On the penthouse level, a private den space has a wet bar with a mosaic tile backsplash and a full-size daybed. The soaring balcony provides sweeping views of the Beachside Village neighborhood and the ocean. Relax at the pub table with a frosty cocktail and take in the magnificent view.



Back downstairs on the main level, the front porch has an outdoor dining table that’s perfect for hosting an alfresco family meal at sunset. A barbeque area below allows you to grill up some juicy burgers or fresh-caught fish with ease. And when your family is ready to hit the beach, the access point is a quick walk down the lane to a lovely, less-crowded beach. This home is also close to the Seawall, the Strand, and Pleasure Pier— so there’s something for everyone.

Great location-Quick walk to the beach

Loved the huge home on the beach! It took less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, and it was through a quiet neighborhood. We drove into town to visit restaurants and tourist attractions. But being away from the traffic was a big plus.

Fabulous Spring Break getaway!

This is our second time in 4 months staying at this property, and it never disappoints. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The house is a short walk to the beach and the neighborhood is always quiet, even during a peak travel week. The house has things like a washer and dryer, high chair, and other useful amenities when traveling with children. There are lots of great restaurants close by as well. We are looking forward to our next stay here already!

Pretty good time!

Gorgeous house, lots of space for everyone, love the decor and vibe of the home, beach was only a short drive away (2 minutes), very peaceful, lots of natural lught, comfy beds, great layout. Our only crituques would be that the 3rd floor door doesnt lock (it was unlocked when we got here), there are no pot holders in the kitchen, no stopper for the bathtub (we bought one and left it for the next group), and no place to put toilet paper. But overall we had a great experience and the house is lovely.

Great house, excellent stay!

This house is wonderful for a beach vacation! We stayed with kids ranging from 1 to 7 - the bunk beds were a huge hit! The house has plenty of space and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach from the house through the beautiful neighborhood. There are lots of great restaurants are close by as well. Will definitely be back to this house for another trip soon!
