Grand Beach Retreat

5.0 · Superhost
6 Bedrooms 6.5 Bathrooms Sleeps 16 Beach house

Grand Beach Retreat is the newest home in our collection, finished in February 2026, and it shows in every detail. Six bedrooms, six and a half baths, sleeping up to 16, first-row beachfront in the gated Grand Beach community near Stewart Beach in Galveston. The beach bridge is right beside the house, so the sand is a few steps away.

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 room everyone talks about: a beautifully decorated bunk room with six beds in a playful animal theme. Kids are completely in love with it, and parents love that the children have their own special space while the adults enjoy the panoramic Gulf views from the main living areas.

Inside

Six spacious bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms give every couple or family their own space. The open living, dining, and kitchen level is brand-new and beautifully finished, with wide windows framing the water. A cupola game room with a pool table gives the group a place to gather after the beach.

Outside

· First-row beachfront with the walkover bridge right beside the home

· Panoramic Gulf views from the main decks

· Parking for up to 6 vehicles

· Brand-new construction, never been lived in before 2026

Perfect for

· Large families and multi-family trips (sleeps 16)

· Groups who want the newest, freshest beach house on the block

· Families with kids who will adore the themed bunk room

· Reunions and celebrations that need room for everyone
