The Grand View

5.0 · Superhost
5 Bedrooms 4 Bathrooms Sleeps 13 Beach house

The Grand View earns its name. Five bedrooms, four baths, sleeping up to 13, oceanfront in the gated Grand Beach community near Stewart Beach in Galveston, with panoramic Gulf views that stretch from every main deck. It's a home built for big groups who want the water front and center.

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.

Here's what makes The Grand View genuinely special among our homes: the elevator and the private hot tub are included in your rate. In most island homes those are paid add-ons; here they come with the house. Ride the elevator up with your luggage and groceries, then end the day soaking in the hot tub under the stars, no extra charge.

Inside

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms sleep 13, with an added bed and two rollaways so larger groups all have a place. The open living and kitchen level opens to the Gulf view, and the private elevator makes every floor easy to reach.

Outside

· Oceanfront with panoramic Gulf views

· Private hot tub, included in your rate

· Private elevator, included in your rate

Perfect for

· Large families and multi-generational groups (sleeps 13)

· Guests who need an elevator and don't want to pay extra for it

· Anyone who wants a hot tub without the add-on fee

· Groups who want a true oceanfront view, not a partial one

Good to know
