“My family and I had a lot of fun in this beautiful home! So much fun we had to book an extra day. Host answered all of my questions and was super fast at communicating. The area was comfortable and quiet. All my family loved the pool. We will definitely book this house again.”

The Sugar Shack

“Excelente servicio”

Road Less Traveled

“Very comfy.”

Coconut Cottage

“Had a wonderful experience staying here. Chris is a great host and everything was as listed and more. Very responsive and felt like home from entering to leaving. Will definitely recommend and stay again!”

League Lofts 302

“Amazing communication with the host. Perfect location for all strand/downtown activities. Walkable! Easy walk to seawall for sunrise walk along the gulf. Space was spacious, private & quiet.”

Little Buena Vista

“We liked this place and had a good time. The home could use some maintenance and exterior paint. We brought 12 but I would only recommend 10 at the most and that is if you are ok with only one full bathroom inside. We had to wait a very long time for a shower each evening. But, for a smaller group to be close to the beach for a little cheaper price than right on it, then this place is great for that.”

Big Kahuna

“The home was beautiful and looked just like the pictures! The host also communicated well and responded fast”

League Lofts 302

“The loft was in a great location. Close to the strand and restaurants.”

Gone Coastal

“Will be coming back! Loved the house and the location!”

More About the Area

Galveston, Texas is a charming Southern retreat just 50 miles from Houston. It’s a destination full of art, historic architecture, chic boutiques, ghost legends, and more – all tucked within a quaint Gulf Coast barrier island with 32 miles of beaches.

Given the long, narrow shape of the Island, Galveston has different sections locally referred to as the East End, and the West End. The East End features historic homes dating back to the late 1800’s, along with all of the shops and restaurants on The Strand, the famous Galveston Seawall, and the cruise ship terminal, which is now the largest in the country.

The West End of Galveston Island features classic beach homes built on pilings, with homes along the beach and Galveston Bay. The West End is home to a large number of beach communities, including Beachside Village, Indian Beach, Jamaica Beach, Pirates Beach, Sea Isle and Terramar Beach.

Things To Do
From iconic beaches to historic sights, you’ll find it all in Galveston. Whether you’re traveling with family or in search of a romantic getaway, this laid-back island has the perfect experiences to fit your travel style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Galveston from Houston? 
Galveston is roughly 50 miles southeast of downtown Houston, making it an easy 50 to 75-minute drive depending on traffic. It’s one of the most accessible Gulf Coast destinations from a major Texas city, which is a big part of what makes it such a popular weekend escape.
Yes. BeachBox offers beachfront vacation rentals in Galveston with direct Gulf access, private beach entrances, and unobstructed water views. Most beachfront properties are on the West End, where the shoreline is wider, the crowds are thinner, and the setting feels more like a private retreat. Use the beachfront filter when browsing to see all available options. Browse all of our Galveston beachfront rentals.
Yes. Our East End and downtown homes are the closest to the cruise ship terminal, so they make an easy base the night before or after your sailing. It’s a popular way to turn a cruise into a longer Galveston trip, with time for The Strand and the beach before you board.
It depends on your trip. The East End keeps you close to The Strand, East Beach, Stewart Beach and the Seawall, with historic homes you can walk from. The West End is quieter, with wider beaches and beach communities like Jamaica Beach, Pirates Beach and Sea Isle. BeachBox also has canal and bay-side homes across the island for guests who want dock access right at their door.
Look for a West End beach house or a home with a private pool. The calm bay and canal waters on the west side of the island are great for young swimmers and first-time paddlers, and Stewart Beach has lifeguards and clean facilities. Bigger families can start with our large group beach house rentals, and the amenity filters help you find homes with a private pool, a game room or a fenced yard.
Most of them are. More than 130 of our Galveston homes welcome pets. Check the Pet Policy on each listing for the number of pets allowed and the pet fee, or browse all of our pet-friendly vacation rentals.
