Seaside stay .At this West End vacation home, you'll be within a 5-minute walk of Pirate's Beach and Pirates Beach. Galveston Country Club and Galveston Island State Park Beach are also within 2 miles (3 km).
Relax, rewind and re-energize at Second Wind! Comfortable furnishings, walls of windows with great Gulf views, and perfectly appointed bedrooms make this updated 2nd row Galveston vacation home a great choice for your family’s next dream vacation.
From the moment you pull into the private driveway, you’ll know you picked the right house. Two covered decks provide great views of the Gulf from several different angles, and the shaded patio offers the perfect place for grilling fresh seafood and dining al fresco. Plus, there’s an enclosed outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt water.
Step inside and you’ll find a relaxing white interior with pops of different shades of coral and navy. Natural textures, an electric fireplace, and carefully selected furniture add to the welcoming feel of the open living area. The comfortable seating is great for catching up with your favorite people or grabbing an afternoon nap on an unscheduled day. The nearby dining table easily accommodates 8, plus there’s a bar-height table that could be used for games or 4 more during family mealtimes. The fully equipped kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, storage, and all the pots, pans, utensils and dinnerware you’ll need during your stay.
After a day full of island exploration or fun in the sand & surf, you’ll love having 5 private bedrooms for everyone to retire to. 4 bedrooms are located on the main level of the home, and the final sleeping space is a fun upstairs loft with a full bed and twin bed. Wake up to sunrise over the Gulf in the king-sized primary suite that opens onto the south-facing covered deck. A second bedroom, this one with 2 full beds, also opens out onto the deck. A queen bedroom is also beautifully appointed and ready to welcome you for a vacation lie-in.
Your prime location, only steps from the beach, makes it easy to spend hours beachcombing, surf fishing, or just playing in the water. Looking for some more to do during your island escape? Head into Historic Downtown Galveston and explore the unique history, culture & food scene, or do a little antiquing – you’re only 12 miles away from the heart of the historic district!

Everything was good. We had a small hiccup when we arrived. The AC was not working but they sent a repair man out and he fixed it. Everyone enjoyed the house. It was clean and in a great location

Lone Star Rally
Everything was great. Driveway is a little hard to maneuver with vehicles & motorcycles. Rain caused flooding right in front of the driveway.

This was a very nice remodel and great location to the beach. If I had one recommendation, a downstairs restroom would be a welcomed addition.
