About this house rental

Situated in Galveston Island, this attractive house for $550 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. If you love the sea, and need somewhere to unplug, unwind, and just be you: this is the place. A cheerful beach bungalow, located in far west Galveston in the resort community of Pointe West; the Happy Mullet is a beautiful place to relax and reconnect with your family. From the sparkling sunrise, to the gorgeous sunsets, enjoy spectacular beach views from inside or out on our two large decks. Watch the dolphins play from the outdoor sectional sofas or while you dine alfresco with outdoor seating for 7-8 on the lower balcony. Keep reading for our special amenities: Come on in, kick your shoes off, and relax in the living room on comfy couches. Enjoy a beverage and watch the game on the 55" HDTV, or just soak up the ocean views just outside. Seating for 8 at the solid wood dining table, another 3 at the kitchen bar, and 7-8 on the outdoor table. Plenty of room for delicious dinners or just whiling away the evening assembling a puzzle with the family or playing a rousing game of Monopoly (there are several board games and puzzles in the house). When we visit Galveston, usually we have a gaggle of kids at the house, and sometimes we prefer to cook leisurely, dinners as opposed to going into town. If you do too, the kitchen is fully stocked, including common spices, ingredients, condiments, and cooking utensils: including food processor, rotating waffle maker, crock pot, griddle pans, paella pan, and a small fryer. There's a charcoal grill downstairs, too for the Grillmasters in your group. Caffeine needs are met with a regular coffee maker, a Keurig, and if you’re in need of a cafecito or café con leche: a Cuban stove-top espresso maker. Back to those evenings, when you're downstairs, enjoying adult beverages with your friends: send the kids upstairs to their room. I'm pretty sure they won't fight you on that. The "Kid Room" might even attract some adults. The large suite has two full/twin bunk beds. Luxury "Comfy Sac" bean bags, private balcony, large jacuzzi tub (to clean up those sandy urchins after a day at the beach, or for an adults only soak), 42" HDTV, a Playstation 3, an Atari Flashback 8 with 120 games, and (here's the cool part) a Cabaret style Ms. Pacman arcade game featuring the best of retro including: Dig Dug, Galaga, and many more. Even rainy days are fun with a place like this to hang out. The bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely and clean, with high end furniture and linens.There’s a queen bed on the main floor, a king and queen upstairs (as well as the bunk beds in the kid room). There are four bathrooms, including a double vanity in the kid room, so hopefully that will keep those bathroom lines to a minimum. We'll even provide travel size soaps and shampoo in case you forget. More importantly, this is a beach vacation, right? Well, the beach is literally just steps away. This is a remote beach, so it never gets super crowded. Maybe we're biased, but we think the beaches of West Galveston are prettier than the ones closer to town. The water is cleaner, the beach is kept immaculate, and the vibe is serene. After your day of surf and sun, there is an outdoor shower downstairs where it feels so good to wash off the day. ***RESORT FEE: Please note that you will need to obtain a wristband and access code from the Pointe West Beach Club to take full advantage of the resort facilities (pools, gym, clubhouse game room, Basketball and Pickle ball courts, restaurant and bar). They charge $25 per guest 4 years old and older for the entire length of your stay. This fee will be paid directly to the club upon registration. *** (You will receive an email from the Pointe West POA to prepay the resort fee. The primary guest on your reservation will need to show an ID at the Beach Club Office to pick up the wristbands and parking passes.) *** Fees increased to $25/per person in 2023. The fee is not mandatory. If you do not plan to use the pools and other amenities during your stay, you do not have to purchase the wristbands.*** Bikes and helmets included. Mix of (4) smaller kid bikes plus (4) big kid/adult bikes some with training wheels. We share our great backpack beach chairs too.

We really enjoyed our time here as a family. The house was beautiful and comfortable with a lot of thoughtful attention to detail. We spent a lot of time on the beach and relaxing on the two balconies that overlook the Gulf. Highly recommend.

This place was fantastic, exactly as advertised! I appreciated the little details that make a stay better because you are sharing the owners' actual home: Power strips by the bed, fully stocked kitchen tools, nice sheets, tasteful decor, good coffee maker, Netflix login, etc. We also got the passes for amenities. Worth it! The community is very welcoming to renters. Sometimes owners resent interlopers at their pool or bar, but not Pointe West! The staff and people were warm and friendly and everywhere we biked or walked we got hellos and smiles. The restaurant meals by Chef Ernie were surprisingly delicious. Beware of the bird-sized mosquitos! Oh my goodness, swarms of them everywhere waiting to suck your blood!! Buy deep woods off with 25% deet and wear your anti-vampire talismans. Lovely place, lovely hosts, beautiful beach. Thank you!!

The area is very nice. We had a bit of a problem with mosquitoes. Not sure why. Not really the house’s fault. The kitchen was nice except for the oven, which hopefully was fixed. There was some creative guess work. The arrangements of the rooms we found different. The room with the master bath has 2 sets of bunk beds. But it worked for 3 days.

This was our family’s third stay at the Happy Mullet. We keep coming back because the house always exceeds expectations. The view, outdoor spaces, cleanliness, furniture, decor, amenities and neighborhood can’t be beat. The owners are very responsive and friendly. The entire family loves it!

We hope to return to the Happy Mullet. *Great proximity to the beach. Just a short walk over the dunes to nice sandy beach. There's a sand bar that made it great for shallow water play. The water was clear and blue (for Galveston). *Extremely well-equipped property saved us from hauling our own chairs, umbrella, wagon, crib and high-chair, and much, much more. The hosts showed great attention to details in providing almost everything for guests. *Very quiet neighborhood and beach area in September. The beach was nearly empty most of the week. *Good floor plan for 6 adults and a toddler but could have easily accommodated more kids in the fun bunk room. *We loved the spacious porches and spent lots of time outside. *Host was quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. Dan was a pleasure to work with throughout the process!

For 17 years, our girls group has rented a home in Galveston each year. Happy Mullet was comfortable and well stocked to meet all our needs. The owners were great and very responsive. Couldn’t ask for a better weekend. Thanks Vivian and Dan!
