Best of Tides - Make family memories!

Just 2 blocks from the beach in the quiet and peaceful neighborhood of Pirates Beach. Enjoy the beautiful views of the Gulf from the Master Bedroom deck and Gulf breezes from the screened-in patio. This newer home is a 2-minute walk to the beach and a short drive to all that Galveston has to offer.
Our beach house has 3 outdoor spaces, a large yard, stellar kitchen, and everything your family needs at your home-away-from-home. Cook dinner in the well-equipped kitchen or follow the tips in the Best of Times Beach House guide book and try the locals' favorite restaurants.
Galveston's laid-back island vibe will ensure your family will relax and make memories. Enjoy Schitterbahn and Moody Gardens, both just minutes away. Learn about Galveston's history through the many museums, or shop the eclectic boutiques on the Strand.
The house has everything you need to relax, including an outdoor shower, patio furniture on both decks , a well-stocked kitchen with brand new, top-of-the-line appliances, and TVs.
The well-organized and equipped home is one of the youngest and tallest in Pirates Beach. Our sister property, Best of Times Beach House (VRBO #475376), is right across the street if you want to stay with a larger group.
When you are ready for the beach, it’s a short walk away! Beach toys, and life jackets are provided for fun in the sun.
Our family home is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, but it is non-smoking.
Please, only responsible renters over the age of 28.

Beach Weekend in Pirate’s Beach, Arggg!

Great house and amazing decor. The house has two bedrooms on the first floor and the master bedroom upstairs with an on-suite bath. There is a bonus room on the third floor with two twin beds and a great view of the water. The house has decks on every level with chairs to watch the sun rise. Our favorite spot was the screened in dinner table on the back porch. Thanks again for an amazing weekend.

Great House with a Beautiful Kitchen

The house was exactly as described. The beds were very comfortable. The upper deck had a great view and it was very relaxing up there. The beach was close enough to walk to, but driving was still an option as well. There are two bedrooms upstairs, the master and the twin bed room, and the only way to access the upstairs bedroom is through the master. One of our groups was only coming down the last two nights so it worked out. But it was a bit of a dance to share the bathroom upstairs when both rooms were occupied.

Great Weekend at Best of Tides

My family and I stayed at the property May19-21. Property was clean upon arrival and check-in/access was straight forward. Bedroom layout is nice and kitchen is very large for the size of the house. Beach is a very short walk away and the owners provided some beach toys, a wagon, chairs, etc for use though we didn't use them as we had our own. For our needs, the house was well equipped in terms of appliances and kitchenware and we had no issue preparing meals in the kitchen. I will say that for our family (4 people) the living room was adequate size, however if you pushed to the max occupancy (7 people) it would be very tight. There is also limited indoor dining space options if you all wanted to sit together, but the table in the screened in porch is sufficiently sized for a somewhat larger group. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would stay again in the future.
