Why book direct with us

Galveston Beachfront Rentals

Beachfront means exactly that: walk out, and the sand and the Gulf are right there, no streets to cross. Our beachfront homes are split between the gated Grand Beach community near Stewart Beach, where wide first-row lots give you open Gulf views, and the Seascape resort on the Seawall, where condos put you on the beach with resort pools and hot tubs steps away.

We're Anna and Tetiana, a mom-and-daughter team who manage each of these homes ourselves, and a few we own outright. Book direct instead of through Airbnb or VRBO and you skip the guest service fee, saving up to 15 percent on the same dates, with a real host you can reach anytime.

  • Up to 15% off vs Airbnb - no guest service fee, ever.
  • 5-Star Superhost - homes we know and stand behind.
  • Real people, mom & daughter run - reach a host, not a call center.

Not sure which home?

Tell us your dates and group size and we'll point you to the right home and send your best direct rate.

Galveston Beachfront Rentals: common questions

Are these rentals really right on the beach?

Yes. Our beachfront homes are directly on the Gulf, either first-row houses in Grand Beach near Stewart Beach or condos in the Seascape resort on the Seawall, so the sand is steps from your door.

Do your beachfront condos have a pool?

Yes. Our Seascape Seawall condos and the Pointe West resort condo include access to resort pools and hot tubs in addition to the beach.

Which beachfront home is best for a big group?

For large groups on the sand, Grand Beach Retreat (sleeps 16), Sunrise on the Beach (sleeps 17), and Sandy Sea-cret (sleeps 16) are first-row Grand Beach houses built for everyone under one roof.

Is booking a beachfront rental direct cheaper than Airbnb?

Yes. Booking direct with Karas Vacation Rentals avoids the Airbnb and VRBO guest service fee, so the same beachfront home on the same dates costs up to 15 percent less.
