About this house rental

Welcome to **Bella Vista**, your Galveston family beach escape where the sand and Gulf are literally just steps from your door.

**Wake up by the water, make a fresh cup of coffee, and settle onto the deck as the Gulf breeze rolls in and the kids head down to play in the sand.** Spend the day swimming, fishing, relaxing and exploring—knowing home is only steps away whenever you need it.

Tucked away on a quiet private street with access to a **private, vehicle-free beach**, Bella Vista offers the kind of easy beach vacation families dream about. No crossing busy streets, no loading the car with beach gear, and no searching for parking. Grab your chairs, cooler and fishing gear and walk straight to the sand.

And because you're so close, the beach doesn't have to be an all-day production. Head back to the house for lunch, grab another drink, take a break from the sun, let the little ones rest, or pick up something you forgot—then be back with your toes in the sand in minutes.

### Comfortable, Easy Beach Living

Bella Vista is fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for comfortable family and group stays, featuring **3 bedrooms, 2 indoor bathrooms, 7 beds, a pull-out sofa, a spacious living area, and TVs in the living room and primary bedroom.**

The **fully equipped kitchen** has everything you need for mornings at home or family dinners after a day on the beach, including a **Keurig coffee maker, brand-new electric range and oven, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, blender, cookware, dishes, glassware, and everyday kitchen essentials.**

A **full-size washer and dryer** are also available—especially convenient for families and longer stays.

**House linens and bath towels are provided**, including bath towels, hand towels and washcloths. Guests should bring their own beach towels, as beach towels are not provided.

Downstairs, you'll find an **outdoor shower** that's perfect for rinsing off the sand after a day at the beach, along with an **outdoor sink and fish-cleaning area**. If you enjoy surf fishing or wading out for the day's catch, you'll have a convenient place to clean your fish and gear before heading upstairs to cook dinner.

### The Best of Galveston Is Close By

Bella Vista gives you the relaxed atmosphere of Galveston's West End while keeping you close to restaurants, coffee, groceries, golf and some of the island's best attractions.

Spend the morning on the beach, grab coffee and breakfast nearby, play a round at **Moody Gardens Golf Course**, or spend the day exploring **Moody Gardens** and its family attractions.

Nearby you'll find **Waterman's Restaurant & Marina** for seafood, steaks and waterfront sunsets, the beautiful **Evia** neighborhood for coffee and dining, **Seven Seas Grocery** for groceries, fresh food and beach necessities, and plenty of local seafood favorites throughout the West End.

Coffee, breakfast, groceries and everyday essentials are all nearby, making it easy to stock the house or make a quick run without losing half your vacation to errands.

### Explore the Island

When you're ready to venture beyond the beach, **Historic Downtown Galveston and The Strand** are just a short drive away.

Spend an afternoon exploring Galveston's historic streets, local shops and attractions, then stay downtown for dinner, drinks and some of the island's favorite restaurants before heading back to the quieter West End and Bella Vista.

### Your Galveston Beach Escape

Whether you're planning a **family beach vacation, fishing weekend, getaway with friends, or simply a few relaxing days by the Gulf**, Bella Vista gives you the perfect home base to experience Galveston at your own pace.

Days here can be as simple as coffee on the deck, bare feet in the sand, fresh Gulf air and nowhere you need to be—or as full as fishing, golf, Moody Gardens, great food and an evening on The Strand.

**Come for the beach. Stay for the views. Make yourself at home at Bella Vista.**

This place was perfect for what we needed. With 2 young children it was a very short walk to the beach and the front porch had a locking gate so we could let the kids play on the deck. 10/10 would rent again!

Communication with the host was excellent. They responded very quickly to my questions. House was clean and in a great spot. It was perfect if you have small children. If they needed to go to restroom, or take a break from the sun, or whatever else kiddos can think of…you’re literally just steps from the beach. We were there for memorial day and the beach was quiet which was great.

Its a great house a few steps away from the beach and plenty of space for the whole family. It was serene community and the house amenities were just perfect. We didnt find the laundry (downstairs) until a bit too late but its a great feature too. Thank you for making this family vacation a possibility for us.

The location can't be beat! Although some items needed attention (which I shared with the owner), the house was equipped with all the essentials.
