Looking for a home with entertaining in mind? The open gourmet style kitchen truly is the heart of this home with an enormous 15 ft island, natural gas cooktop, porcelain tile flooring, and exotic granite countertops. 3 story elevator, pool table, NBA Jam arcade game and board games. 2 King suites (Master and Main level bedroom with king bed with private bathroom), 2 Queen, and 4 Twin Beds (rooms share jack and Jill bathroom). 3 full bathrooms and 1 half.

We provide wagons to transport all your beach items, and your welcome to bring your own. We also have beach chairs and toys for renters to use. We just ask you rinse off the sand from the chairs and replace all items neatly.

The closest beach ramp to our property is a short walk on the green space to the right of our home. That particular ramp has wheelchair access and a landing on the ramp where your able to sit and watch the waves roll in while your family is having fun in the sun.

Our home offers a full stocked kitchen with all the kitchen tools needed to cook every meal at your vacation home. You will need to bring any special items for cooking. We also provide the basic salt and pepper.

I couldn't say enough about this property or owners. This is by far one of the easiest rentals I have had to do. From booking to checking out, everything was so simple. The house is beautiful, and Nicole is very responsive. They provide games, chairs for the beach, a grill, etc... I would definitely choose this house if you are looking for a fun Galveston getaway!

Amazing, updated property close to the Beach!

This property was amazing and exceeded my expectations! I thoroughly enjoyed how clean the property was when we arrived. The elevator was very helpful for hauling luggage to the bedrooms on the third floor. The kitchen was huge and the house was fully stocked with cleaning supplies, towels, and cooking supplies. The two-car garage was beneficial for us and the owner was quick to respond. We enjoyed how this property was close to all the attractions and stores which was a plus for our group. I would definitely recommend this property and glady return!

Amazing Property

We frequently stay at VRBO properties while traveling. This property was amazing! The property is clean and well kept. The entire unit is beautifully decorated, the best we’ve stayed at thus far. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you need. The pool table and games kept us busy in the evenings. We were there during cooler weather so we did not spend much time at the beach. But if you’re there during the warmer season, you will enjoy that this house is literally steps away from the beach. Also, the huge TV was perfect for watching the game. We had an amazing time! Thank you!!

We enjoyed our stay. Family being together is what’s important It would have been nice to know about things that were broken and unusable before an hour before our arrival. The third level master bath being out of order would have been a dealbreaker. The garage door not working was workable. We just parked one vehicle on the street and kept our beach items on the bottom floor instead of in the garage.

Restful Break

Purple Sandcastle is a beautiful property and the layout and beds we super comfortable. My sons loved the pool table and retro video games too! Didnt rate 5 atars only because we found it difficult to open and unlock exit areas and were forced to walk around in the rain to the front porch. And there was no wine opener provided which was a bummer. But other than that- pretty cool house.

Large beautiful home close to beach

We booked this home for a family vacation and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. The home is absolutely gorgeous and in pristine condition! It is a four bedroom, 3 story home with a large open kitchen, huge island which opens to a large open living and dining area complete with a high quality pool table which our kids and grandkids loved. It has two bedrooms with King beds, one bedroom with two queens and a bunk room with 4 single bunks. In addition the home has an elevator which came in very handy when hauling luggage, ice chests, etc. up to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The property is only a short (100 yards or so) walk to the beach and the owners have even provided wagons to haul your stuff as well as beach toys, chairs, etc. In short we can highly rcommend this property for your stay in Galveston.
