Fishwife is one of the most striking designer homes near Stewart Beach in Galveston: a five-bedroom beachfront retreat in the gated Grand Beach community, between East Beach and Stewart Beach. From the upper decks the Gulf opens up in a wide panoramic view, and the home was built and furnished to a level you rarely see in a beach rental. This is the house people remember.
The owners love this home, and they trusted our family to manage it. We also know this gated Grand Beach neighborhood better than almost anyone: the head of our own family is the president of its HOA. So you're not booking from a faceless company on the other side of the country, you're staying in a neighborhood we personally help run, and we look after this home as if it were our own.
The detail that sets Fishwife apart: a whole-house generator. If a storm rolls through or the power blinks, your lights, your AC, and your fridge stay on while the rest of the block goes dark. Add the hydraulic elevator and you have a home that works for every generation, from grandparents to toddlers.
Inside
Five bedrooms and five full bathrooms sleep 14, with an open living and kitchen level designed for big groups. High-end finishes throughout, a fully stocked chef's kitchen, and that panoramic Gulf view from the main living space.
Outside
· Beach wagons provided, load up your chairs and umbrellas and roll straight to the sand
· Outdoor chess and plenty of game space for kids and adults
· Wide decks facing the Gulf for sunrise coffee and evening breezes
· Generous parking for large groups and multiple cars
Perfect for
· Large families and multi-generational trips (sleeps 14)
· Groups who want a true high-end, design-forward beach house
· Anyone who wants peace of mind during storm season thanks to the generator
· Special celebrations where the house itself is part of the experience
