2nd Row, Ocean Views, Steps to Beach

Welcome to The Skipper, your perfect beach escape! Located just steps from the sand, this second-row home offers stunning ocean views from the spacious deck and living area. Enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the waves or unwind after a day at the beach with a breathtaking sunset.

This comfortable and well-equipped home is perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking for a relaxing coastal getaway.

THE VIEW
it on the deck of our second-row home and watch — and listen to — the sea. From inside, a glance out the living room or dining area windows reveals that same stunning ocean view.

THE BEACH
A short walk across the street brings you to a quiet, pedestrian-only beach. With no cars allowed, finding your perfect spot is effortless. When you return, rinse off at the outdoor shower with both hot and cold water.

THE LOCATION
The Skipper sits just far enough from the city that the beach feels peaceful and uncrowded — yet everything Galveston has to offer is only about 20 minutes away.
Right next door you'll find a grocery store, gas station, and restaurant. The beach, food, and fuel are all within easy walking distance — you may not need your car at all during your stay.

INSIDE
The Skipper features an open-concept layout with the living, kitchen, and dining areas flowing together — great for keeping the group connected whether you're cooking, eating, or relaxing. Ocean views are visible from the windows throughout the living areas. The kitchen is well-stocked and includes a dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, washer and dryer, and more. The primary bedroom features a queen bed and a TV with Roku. The large bedroom has two queen beds.

WI-FI NOTE
We have free WIFI provided by cable Internet. We cannot guarantee the internet signal quality of this 3rd party service even if listed as a furnished amenity in this property description.

We have hosted many parties of six who have enjoyed themselves, but *we* feel with the seating arrangements and single bathroom, that our home is best suited for up to four or five adult sized people, plus children.

Open stairway is outdoors and partially protected by the roof overhang. Our house is lower to the ground than most and is only one floor.

Checkout Requests are in the check-in/check-out information.
