Literally on beach, unobstructed ocean view
The Pearl Wave is literally on the beach with easy access to beach and panoramic unobstructed ocean view! It is the first house from the beach in a quiet residential neighborhood, nothing but beach 270 degrees around our place. The beach access point is only steps away, and the beach access is car free, not a busy car loading/unloading zone. Romantic walks on the beach are right out the door, or run the kids ragged on the beach all day then sit around the great room on the comfortable couch, or relax at the end of a 'beachy' day in your Jacuzzi tub!! Our beach is safer for kids due to no cars allowed on the beach in front of our house all year around!! Large deck on the ground floor and on the main level with plenty of seating and an additional top-floor deck are the perfect setting to enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view and listen to the peaceful sound of the waves. House has plenty of windows with unobstructed ocean views.
With ~ 1900 sqft, the house has an open living/dining area, 3 good-sized bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 1 outdoor hot water shower, sleeping 13 comfortably. Both floors have a high ceiling which is a rare find for beach houses and will give you the breezy feel even inside. The whole first floor has hardwood flooring, the second floor master bedroom has luxury vinyl plank flooring (installed Oct 2021), with hardwood staircase connecting the two floors. No carpet in house!
The master suite on the top floor has its own deck boasting the highest ocean views in the neighborhood. The master suite has a king-sized bed and a twin bed. The master bathroom has a double vanity, walk-in shower, and a jet tub with ocean view.
The downstairs main floor has two spacious bedrooms that are separated by a full bathroom. The living/dining area has an open floor plan with direct ocean views from all nine windows. Kitchen is spacious, with plenty of counter space and a window of direct ocean view. Kitchen connects to the full-size laundry room with a washer and a dryer. The living area opens to a large wood deck with a direct and unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The wood deck is 2/3 covered so that you can enjoy the outdoor breeze and ocean view within the shade for as long as you'd like!
The ground floor has a spacious covered wood deck with a picnic table and an outdoor hot/cold shower shed which also stores beach chairs, toys, canopy, and a Weber 22-inch master-touch charcoal grill for guests to use (bring your own charcoal). The ground floor has easy access to a car-free walking path to the beach; in fact, the beach access is just outside the driveway! The walking path is sandy and does not require you to navigate through grasses. Just come down from the house anytime and you will be right on the beach -- no more hassles of finding beach parking or dragging your beach gears over a long walk!
We provide almost everything you would need to feel like home! All beddings are provided for the beds that you would need -- sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and comforters/quilts -- all beddings are washed between guests. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap, and toilet paper are stocked in the two bathrooms. Four Smart TVs in the house, with Netflix, PrimeVideo, and SlingTV for live streaming of sports and shows. Family-size refrigerator and electric range with convection oven. Two coffee makers, one traditional and one Keurig. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutting boards, non-stick pans of different sizes, baking pans, pyrex baking dishes, cooking utensils, plenty of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, and napkins.
House has exterior cameras on the ground floor for security monitoring. No cameras inside the house.

Super location, close to everything. Property was clean, and owners were helpful and responsive. We were there during very cold and blustery winter weather so we had to find indoor things to do (Moody Gardens was awesome), but we look forward to coming back and staying at this property during warmer months!

Fantastic! Right on the beach!
Perfect location! Twenty steps from the beach with beautiful upper level decks and a huge deck underneath to hang out and grill out. This house is super clean and has everything you need from beach items (except chairs, bring chairs) to kitchen items to extra blankets and plenty of beach towels. Plenty of beds, comfortable furniture and a freezing cold AC. You are far enough from the seawall for a private less crowded beach experience, but just a convenient short drive to the seawall and shops and restaurants. The owner is wonderful. Amazing communication. I left an important personal item by accident and the owner bent over backwards to help me get it back. Thank you!

Perfect place, we'll be back!
The house has a big great room and spacious kitchen where we could cook meals and still be engaged with the family. The house walks right out onto the private beach. Only 10 minutes to the Walmart and 15 minutes from the pier. Great location!
When we arrived, the owners were there still cleaning up from the hurricane. They were very nice and extremely responsive when I had a question.

Amazing views
We checked in exactly one week after the area was hit with a hurricane so we were apprehensive about going. However, our host communicated thier progress regularly and when we arrived they were finishing up what repairs could be made. The house is right on the beach so it made it easy for the adults to sit on the porch and watch the teenagers play on the beach. The hostess was quick to respond to the few minor problems we had and resolved the issues. All of the furniture was in great shape and was accommodating for the 7 of us. Great experience overall.

The Pearl right after tropical storm
Can’t say enough good things about Peggy the host! She refunded a day of our trip due to the tropical storm and kept in constant contact updating us on the conditions, and told us when if was safest to come. Also, her and her husband worked long hours to make the property after for us after the storm. So, like I said, can’t say enough good things about Peggy. On a scale of 1 to 5, she’s a 6! House is literally right on the water, with the high tide Peggy and her husband worked to put down concrete bags to make it safer and cleaned the parking area from the storm surge. So afain, can’t say enough good things about Peggy!

On the beach literally is no exaggeration
Very clean inside and right on beach . Quaint beach house literally on top of the developing dune. It’s about 15 steps from house to beach . Beach is blocked from traffic in older Spanish Grant Beach pocket which puts it very close to Galveston and yet far enough for some quiet beach front . We felt like we had a private beach for most of the time with expansive ocean view. House has a lot of “Character” on the outside and is obviously in battle with the salt air being about 30 yards from the ocean spray but for us added to the ambiance. Check in and check out easy and no hassle . Owner communications were timely , polite and helpfull. Inside everything is open and very clean. Good idea having weather simulated hard wood floors throughout makes for clean and easy look. Owner went to a lot of trouble to put things right where you would need them for comfort and efficiency . Little things like had soap at every sink and all the extras is nice touch . Even though your there for the beach most likely, great work with the tvs - all new smart tvs in all rooms were great touch including massive 86 inch in main room . All worked all easy to use. House has a central ac unit that runs loud and works hard and owner has installed what look like pretty new smaller window unit’s in every room that chill it up pretty good and that with good overhead fans means house is plenty cool . Window units can be noisy if your light sleeper- great beds . All and all great beach house !
