Beautiful beachfront house in Palm Beach on the West End of Galveston. Vista Grande is on the beachfront and has the largest unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico on West Beach. Recently updated in 2006, this is a great place for families or couples looking to relax for the weekend, week or month.
After having fun on the beach all day, you can relax on the deck and watch the beautiful Gulf of Mexico directly in front of you from our spacious deck. We have a BBQ pit to use and cook your catch from the day.
In the evening ,take a dip in the hottub on the deck and sip champagne,enjoy the stars and the relaxing ocean breezes. If a movie is in order, we have TVs, Cable, and DVD players. This is great for entertaining the kids while the parents relax on the deck.
Palm Beach is a quiet community with Pirate's Beach and Pirate's Beach West on either side

From it's quietly beautiful sunrises to breathtaking sunsets, this roomy vacation home offered a wonderful gathering place for our family. We enjoyed the relaxation of the hot tub, walks on the beach at all hours, collecting shells and playing in the surf. Also enjoyable was the frequent formation fly-bys of the natural wildlife. With it's quiet charm and easy access to the city this vacation home on the beach offers something for everyone. Thank you for sharing this small piece of heaven on the beach. We will be back!
We stayed for 2 nights in Vista Grande with our toddler and my parents.
Everybody really enjoyed the house - and the location on the beach is excellent. The deck has no stairs so that's great for small kids. I would definitely consider going back.
we were looking for a vacation with our 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old (not an easy task :) ) But this house was perfect for us. the main deck area with the hot tub on it does not have a staircase the furnishings are nice but not "too nice" that you worry about having toddlers there. The beach is right in front of the house now there are no dunes or grass anymore to walk over. My husband fished off the beach and caught 3-5 fish a day. The kids just loved the beach, we made sand castles all day! The owner (Paul)is very nice and super easy to work with. We will definatley be back many times!!

This home was perfect for our little winter getaway. It was convenient, clean, roomy, and to sit in the hot tub at night stargazing is worth the price alone! There is nothing between you and the beach, where we found a variety of seashells like no where else! Our 6-year-old son was completely content here and so were we.

My wife and I spent a very nice Valentine's Day weekend. A fantastic location, and the beach was in great condition. I'd definately rent again. The beach house was nice, clean, and comfortable. It has a wonderful deck and hot tub overlooking the beach. A really great rental! Very good value for the money.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Galveston Beach. The house has a wonderful location sitting right at the edge of the beach. The deck overlooking the ocean was our favorite spot in the evening for listening to the waves crash and watching the shooting stars overhead. It was a perfect spot for our son to experience the sand and ocean. Thanks for a wonderful holiday weekend.

We had a wonderful time in galveston. When we entered the beach house there was jazz music playing and the place smelled great. This really set a great mood. The hot tub alone was enough to entertain us but we had the beach too!The view from the house is perfect. We have always stayed at a condo, but decide to try a beach house this time. It was a very good decision. The hot tub under the stars at night with the cool breeze blowing is something you just have to experience for yourself! It was GREAT!!! We will be back in this house again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Vista Grande!!!! The views were beautiful! We were worried about being down in Galveston on the 4th of July, but it was perfect. We had a spectacular firework show right over our deck. In the evening the kids had a blast crabbing. The only thing I hated about our trip was we got burned and were not able to enjoy the hot tub. If we go back to Galveston we will definately plan on staying at this house again. I have recommended it to many friends and family!

Well all I can say is thaat it was a great experience. The house fit all of our needs for the week./ The cement underneath was great for the girls to sidewalk chalk. The outdoor shower was a godsend. I loved being so close to the beach and sitting on that fabulous porch every morning and every evening. Thanks again for a great experience. Dina Pierce

My husband and I rented the beach house for a week for my 50th birthday. Some days friends joined us, others days it was just us - great house, great view, great fun!! We played volleyball on the beach and hung out on the deck, went for walks every day. It was the best place for relaxing and enjoying friends. Can't wait to go back. The hot tub was especially nice to enjoy the view, beautiful skies and the shooting stars. The house was bigger and more beautiful than we guessed from just peaking through the windows before we rented.

This beach house is a great place to spend time. Wonderful views, open living space and lots of windows. Since we visited in January, we really enjoyed the gas fireplace too. We plan to rent again in the future!

My husband Jaime, 2 daughters Isabel and Rebecca and I along with my mom Alva and stepdad David, Juanita, Eddie and Deanna all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and even celebrated Deanna's 2nd b-day. The house was spacious and had all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed the view of the ocean from the big windows and the hot tub was great even with the cool weather. The girls enjoyed walking by the beach which was just steps away. The nearby attractions were great such as the Moody Gardens. We'll be back as soon as it gets warm!
Incredible!, November 12, 2007
My mom, my two sisters and I spent two nights at this house right on the beach. Everything was just as described and very nicely appointed. It was a great spot to enjoy God's creation... Thanks for a great experience.

As a two working, parent home with two children living in the city, the stress, and pressure can all be so overwhelming our visit on the Beach Front was just what we needed, the view was mind blowing, making you feel as if you had no worries, the children had more than enough room to enjoy themselves, we had no reason to tour our go out, everything we needed was at the home and beech. We took long walks on the sand during the day and counted stars at night. It was the most peaceful experience I've had yet. The best part about the house, is so easy maintance, so you can spend more of your time enjoying yourself and your family.
Very nice, October 1, 2007

Everyone had a great time. It's so nice to be right on the beach where you can come and go as you please, and not have to deal with traffic.
The house was very nice also. Everything was as stated. Will definitely rent again.
Thankyou!, September 25, 2007

We had an amazing time at your property. The house was perfect and the deck and hot tub were a great feature. The pictures on your page are truley accurate...no bad surprises upon arrival. Thankyou for the amazing time we were able to have at your house. If you fish, this is the place to go because it is near one of the best surf fishing spots on the island (13 mile rd). We caught plenty of fish! We will be renting again!!
