Holds 8 · Private Pool, 3BR/2BA Peacock Horse Beach nearby Outside of city Life

Bright and beachy, this upstairs duplex — complete with peacocks and a horse right next door — is the perfect home base for your next Galveston getaway, and for your stay the entire property is yours alone. Pack an extra swimsuit — the backyard pool is private to your group, with no other guests on site, and you're just two miles from the beach. Birdwatchers will love the easy access to the Edward and Helen Oppenheimer Bird Observatory, less than two miles away, with Galveston Island State Park just beyond. And you can get your funnel cake and saltwater taffy fix at the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, around nine miles away.

At home, you'll feel worlds away from the city. Relax with some sweet tea on the balcony and soak up the quiet, countryside pace while the kids play in the shallow pool below — all to yourselves. It's the kind of laid-back, rural escape that makes it easy to slow down and unwind.

Inside, the open, light-filled layout combines the living room, dining area, and a sleek full kitchen. The family chef will love the floating butcher-block island and stainless steel appliances, and the whole gang will love sitting down to meals together at the adjacent dining table. After a day on the beach, bask in the cool of the central AC while the washer/dryer makes quick work of any laundry. Two TVs and free WiFi offer plenty of entertainment, but if the weather's nice — and it probably is — spend the evening back out on the balcony, enjoying the sea breeze. When night falls, three well-appointed bedrooms await.

It's time to start making some Galveston memories — all that's left to do is book.

Good to know: This booking reserves the whole property, with your group staying in the upper unit. The lower unit stays locked and unoccupied for the length of your stay, so the pool, yard and grounds are yours alone — no shared spaces and no other guests. Sleeping space is in the upper unit: three bedrooms for up to 8 guests. Need room for more? The lower unit can be opened up as well, sleeping up to 16 across the whole duplex — just reach out and we'll be happy to arrange it.
