There is no place quite like Galveston Island when it comes to endless beach days and crashing waves. Make your way to Salty Sandpiper, and you will feel like a local in no time, perched right on the sand and within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shops that make this area so special. Enjoy a coveted location on Karankawa Beach, a quiet beach with restricted vehicle access on the sand, leaving it very tranquil. The spacious deck offers plenty of seating and uninterrupted water views, while the yard is ideal for family-friendly games and features a swing-up bar.

Inside, the wall of windows allows ample natural light to fill the entire living area, and everyone will love kicking back on the sectional for movie nights in front of the fireplace. The best homecooked meals can be prepared in the stylish full kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a large prep island with an additional cooktop, fun blue cabinetry, coffee maker, dishwasher, and wine fridge. Everyone can stay connected with the provided high-speed WiFi, and salty swimsuits won't be a worry with the private washer and dryer available.

Private walkover to the water! You will be hard-pressed to find a better getaway here on Galveston Island, so book your stay while this gem lasts!

A terrific home - best place to stay on Karankawa Beach. A very spacious home (we had 12 people) with everything you need. A huge dining table for eating, socializing and game playing. Plenty of showers and bathrooms. And of course, right on the beach! Just fantastic!

Overall, a great beach house

The house was great for a beach getaway. However, two things kept me from giving 5 stars. First, the high chair tray was in the bottom of a mop bucket and so gross. I had to scrub it so much before I could feed my baby. Second, i received info beforehand that the keypad on the door didnt work and would need to unlock a lockbox to retrieve physical keys. But when we got there, it was just a simple code to unlock the front door (discovered after searching for the old lock box for 10 minutes).

Awesome!!!

Everything is look like the pictures it was super super nice we had the view of the sea so nice i would definitely come back Just a comment for the owners, one arrives super loaded with things and you can't use the forklift so that unpacking isn't so hard, especially when you have older people who can't carry everything else. It was incredible and we would gladly return.excelent!!!!

Great for little kids

Was amazing to drink my coffee on deck in early mornings while kids played in sand just below. Love the proximity to beach and it was a portion where you can't drive vehicles so the kids were safer. Also, the owners had a ton of sand toys and umbrella and wagon for the beach so we only had to bring our necessities vs all of the normal beach stuff!
