Summer Wind, Beachfront with incredible views! 5 miles from Galveston sea wall!


There is bed space for 10 people. 8 or 9 adults is comfortable. We do allow up to 11, with one on the couch or on the spare mattress that is under the bed. This beachfront home has one of the best views of any home on the West End, yet close to the fun of downtown Galveston. Easy walk to Galveston State Park. Our beach has a private feeling and is very quiet (no cars are allowed to drive on beach thus no worries about the kids/dogs). Once you cross the bridge from the mainland you will find a unique experience. We feel like we are entering a different world when we visit our beachfront island home! This is a pet friendly home with a pet fee of $75 per pet.

COVID-19: The house is ideal for social distancing. The beach is not crowded, there is plenty of outdoor deck space, and I recently upgraded the HVAC with a media filter and a UV air treatment system. Our cleaning company disinfects all touch surfaces (light switches, door knobs, counter tops, etc). If at any time our beach is closed down, the city prohibits short term rentals, or there is a state wide lock-down and you are prevented from using your reservation I will return all money paid. Please stay healthy!

MISC: This home is set back, plenty of beach in front and only small dunes between you and the beach. Please note, the map illustration can make it appear there are lots in front of Summer Wind. If you use a satellite view you will see this is not the case. This is a front row, ocean front home!

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free vacation home features games, surfing/body boarding nearby, and hiking/biking trails nearby. Recreational activities include sailing nearby and windsurfing nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

This beach home is situated in the perfect location for us. First row on the beach and close enough to town to enjoy the best of both worlds. Our host was responsive and accommodating. You will enjoy staying here to soak up the sun and enjoy all the Galveston has to offer.

We had a wonderful time! It was so nice to sleep to the sounds of the ocean and wake up to the sunrise every morning. It was so great being right on the beach and worth every penny. Our dog loved the fenced in decks, so many places to hang out. We would love to stay here again and hopefully we will.

This place was beautiful. We were very pleasantly surprised by the closeness to the oceanfront. My only complaint about this rental are simple fixes. The water upstairs (3rd floor bathroom) did not work. The lock at the front door was difficult. I would suggest that be replaced. I alerted the owner and he was very responsive. We will absolutely be renting this place again.

Beautiful home! We loved our stay (minus the one unpleasant direct neighbor who had fishing poles lined up down the beach the whole week sun up to sun down, but that was just bad luck not the property’s fault). The home had everything we needed

The best thing this property has going for it is the location. I was appreciative that John allowed us to amend our stay and add our pet after the initial booking. Communication was pleasant and timely. The house is right in the beach and has amazing views and convenience to the beach. You can literally walk to the beach directly from the house. However, the cleanliness of the house is not what I’d hoped it would be. There were stains and dirt on the walls and doors and cabinets in the kitchen. It appears in some places that there has been significant water damage that has not been repaired. There was built up dust on the baseboards, return vent, and on general items in the house. The linens seemed clean. This house is superb for location, but looks very used. The kitchen was adequately stocked for cooking, but some pans were dirty and several utensils (knives, pizza cutter) were worn out. The main shower was also laughably tiny, like it belonged in a mobile home or something. I am 5’1 and found it difficult to turn around in. So, overall, great for location and view, but overpriced based on condition of the home.

The downstairs patio is completely covered by the house above...and ALWAYS has plenty of wind. And, the house AC works PERFECTLY! We always had problems in Surfside with ACs that didn't always do their job. This is now our go-to house during the summer. No need to look elsewhere. And you are 10 minutes from Randalls on 61st Street.

We loved this house. The location and views are spectacular. It was a great house for our family. We like to spend a lot of time on the beach. It was better supplied than anywhere we have stayed. Thanks for sharing your house with us. We hope we can return!
