It's Time for a Happy Ohana! Dog Friendly, Fenced Yard, Short Walk to the Beach
Introducing Happy Ohana, a gorgeous beachside haven where no one has to be left behind (it’s dog friendly!) and memories made are never forgotten! This welcoming Galveston vacation home is a dream come true for families or groups of friends looking for that perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and a dash of seaside magic.
From the moment you step into this bright & airy retreat, you'll feel the worries of the world slip away. The ground level starts your adventure with practicality and fun in mind: parking for four cars, a finished patio for those BBQ evenings, an enclosed outdoor shower to wash off the beach, and a fully fenced yard that means your furry friends can romp in the sun, too.
The main level makes it easy to bring everyone together. An open layout living room, bathed in natural light from a wall of windows, features a large sectional and two recliners perfect for gathering around the TV. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with marble counters, stainless steel appliances, a large island, and a breakfast bar seating 4. The nearby dining table easily seats 6, ensuring meal times are both cozy and communal. And if you need a quiet spot for a bit of work or relaxation, there's an office with a desk and queen sleeper sofa. Not to forget, 2 covered decks extend your living space outdoors, offering fresh air and views.
Head upstairs and you’ll see that Happy Ohana is a firm believer in both comfort and convenience with a wet bar, mini fridge, coffee maker, and lots of storage space for snacks. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering deck access, an indoor seating area, TV, and an en suite bath with a dual vanity and large walk-in shower with a bench. The second king bedroom and a twin bedroom with trundles (sleeps up to 4) share a well-appointed bathroom, ensuring space and privacy for all. And the decks? They’re all covered, making them the perfect spot for morning coffees or evening cocktails.
Happy Ohana doesn't just stop at beautiful interiors and stunning views. So, gather your loved ones, pack your bags, and head to Happy Ohana, where the Gulf meets the sky, laughter fills the air, and every moment is a treasure waiting to be discovered.

Beachside Village 2024
The property was beautiful, new and clean. We didn’t have to do hardly anything. All the beds were made and house linens provided. We only had to bring beach items and food/drinks. It’s an extremely peaceful and quiet community. We loved the closeness of the beach and how private it was. We would definitely recommend bug spray and citronella candles for the patios as the mosquitoes were very bad all day and night. There were also a ton of flies which were not sure why but no mosquitoes or bugs at the beach. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this home as a rental.
