3-story beach house with incredible ocean views, steps to the beach

Coastal Haven is a classic Texas beach home located on a pristine stretch of Indian Beach. A quiet cul-de-sac and second-row access to the ocean provides a serene backdrop to your holiday by the sea. This sprawling home has three luxurious levels, multiple bedroom suites with private bathrooms, sun-drenched decks, a charcoal grill, an outdoor shower, and a built-in, beach-facing bar. With enough space for 25 of your friends and family, Coastal Haven will put your whole group on cloud nine.

Location: Indian Beach community of Galveston, Texas

Beach access: The community beach access point is just a few houses down, a quick walk away!

Community Amenities: Guests are able to access the Jamaica Beach community pool (open Memorial Day thru Labor Day - $5 per person) and city park, which is a 5-minute drive away.

Rent BeachBox: Looking for beach gear for your Galveston getaway? We have you covered! Beach chairs and tents can be ready at the house upon your arrival. Message us for details and rates.

WIFI: Free high-speed WIFI is available throughout the home.

Cable: We provide Roku with access to Sling TV for live television channels. Guests are welcome to log into their own Amazon Prime, Netflix, or other streaming service apps as well.

Large Groups: We love hosting church groups and large family gatherings, however groups over the size of 16 guests must be approved prior to booking.

Parking: There is room for 6 cars in the driveway.

Party Policy: No parties are allowed at our home. Please look elsewhere if that is the intent of your trip.

Age Requirement: Guests must be 24+ to book.

The main level great room is crisp and bright— with high ceilings and a wall of windows facing the open sea. The bright Texas coast sunshine illuminates the entire space. Two sofas face each other and create a lovely space for conversation and kicking back. Through the sliding glass doors lies the spacious, ocean-facing deck. Off the living area is a half bath, and around the corner is a bright and breezy bedroom with a king-size bed and sliding doors leading out to the deck. A full attached bathroom has a tub/shower combo.

On the third floor, the master suite is massive. Sink down into the luxe king-size bed after a long day on the water. Flowing white curtains frame the large windows that look out over the ocean. The master bathroom has a double vanity and a step-in shower with a glass door and detailed tile work. A second bedroom on the third level has two queen-size beds, access to the deck, and an ensuite half bathroom. A laundry nook lies just around the corner. The third bedroom has two full-over-queen size bunk beds and an attached bathroom with a step-in shower.

Up on the sky-high fourth level, a fun bunk room and hang out space is tucked under the sloped ceiling. Two twin-over-full futons, a futon sofa, and a flatscreen television will be a hit with the kiddos and the video game fans.

On the ground level, a built-in bar faces the Gulf of Mexico and is illuminated by festive pub lights. Mix up a batch of frozen margaritas and settle in at one of the Adirondack-inspired bar stools. Serve some juicy burgers or a fresh catch of the day straight from the charcoal grill, then roast some s’ mores for dessert. For a stress-free beach day, the Indian Beach access point is a quick walk down the lane. And for an afternoon of fun or an evening on the town, Pleasure Pier and the Galveston Strand are a short drive away. Coastal Haven is a grand beach retreat with something for everyone.

Roach haven
We rented this house for a girls trip. Everyone was so excited because it looks so nice in the pictures. Boy, were we disappointed! The bad reviews are accurate. Roaches Short dark hairs and dirt in beds. A booger? in one bed Dust seeping out from under baseboards Floor in foyer soft. Dust poofs out when you step on it. Toilets don’t flush well Curtains do not cover windows Everything in the kitchen was greasy Dirty dishes in cabinets The couches are terribly discolored and stained Looked like dog poop on giant bean bag 3rd story bunk room floor was slanted. A terrifying feeling. Food under the table We are not picky or high maintenance. We don’t care about fancy finishes but this place was very gross.

Not what it could be
The best thing about this house is size and location. My Family and my Brothers family stayed. The house is an old house with cheap updates on the ones that were done. The ice maker had rust in it and did not work, there were no skillets which made it very difficult cook, we had to use pots. The vent hood above the stove was completely disgusting (it’s a cheap item, replace it). The Keurig coffee maker was broken and did not work. We also had to continually sweep because when you walk on the floor some strange dust would come out from the baseboards. No curtains in some areas of the house, one in the downstairs bedroom is about 4ft to short and only covers half the window. The furniture seemed well worn. It is very obvious that the owner is not concerned about the quality of the stay of the renters, and looks like they are doing a little as possible to maintain the home. It could be so much better with very little effort. Between Galveston and Florida I’ve probably stayed in 25+ Rentals. I would have to say that this is in the top three of the worse maintained homes.

Enjoyable Oceanview Family Thanksgiving
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Coastal Haven-BeachBox and greatly appreciate your hospitality preparation for our stay. The home was clean, nice decor, beautiful ocean views with sunrises, with plenty of towels and kitchen inventory. BeachBox host Russell was very responsive to our questions and needs. Maintenance crew was professional, friendly and service calls were timely. We had plenty of living, patio space and ground level seating. We are not new to BeachBox rentals and glad this property met our expectations like other BeachBox locations. The digital guidebook was very helpful with tips for arrival, stay, departure, area info, useful contacts, house rules, just to name a few. Kudos to you and your team for taking pride to use the past reviews as lessons learn to put this property on the road to wonderful reviews and return guest. Thank You James and Linda

Great location, house needs work
Big kitchen & dining area, lots of seating in liv. room. Big enough for 9 people. Newer mini-split A/C unit in penthouse bunk room. Not as pictured on VRBO. No longer an unobstructed gulf view. Couches worn out. Love seat w/torn cushion on the deck, chaise lounges/2 chairs are gone. Deck dining table and chairs are new tho. Washer and dryer are different. Only 2 bar stools, not 4. Microwave is smaller, oven looks different. No screens on any window/patio doors. No potholders, hangers, board games. Broken beanbag toss boards, no bags. No TV or chairs in main bedroom. No desk anywhere in house to set up a computer. Floors had been swept but not washed. No cleaning items besides broom & dustpan which don't work with the grooves between flooring planks. Needs a vacuum. No available closets on the main floor for jackets & shoes. Bunkroom on second floor ran hot with no way to make it cooler. At a minimum we expect working appliances in the kitchen. Previous reviews mentioned the heating element in the oven hanging down. It was still the case; we fixed it ourselves. Ice and water in door of refrigerator didn't work. Cook top & vent hood/fan looked original to the house. Dishwasher wasn't screwed into the cabinet & door latch was broken. Took 3 days to fix, but they did respond when notified, had to wait for a part. Maint. man (D.J.) was very nice, also fixed a bath sink issue. This would be a nice place if appliances and couches were replaced and it was better taken care of.

The pictures that they provide for the home or nothing like what the home looks like. Washer and dryer’s are different beds are all sunken in. Smells like cat litter when you walk in upon arrival that was trash all over garbage was not clean out Coffee maker didn’t work Roaches everywhere had to throw away $300 worth of barbecue Broken window in kitchen, which is very dangerous Floors was not clean Staying sheets crumbs My nephew stepped on a screw that was on the floor and the kids room and hurt his foot Refrigerator does not cool anything Water dispenser in refrigerator does not work Save your money and get a different house because this one is disgusting. It also has demons. It’s haunted

Family Time
The property is in an excellent location, very near the beach. It was clean. This is the first vacation our family has taken since I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. All the curtains were down and rods broken, the air conditioner is broken in the 3rd floor room so 4 beds we needed could not be used, 2 bunk beds were broken and unsafe, the heating element in the oven was hanging down and the oven was not secured in the opening. We did contact owner who had maintenance out, who said the air conditioner is shot, just replace. Following our stay, I reached out for some sort of refund so once many things we're not as advertised and the owner has ghosted us.

Great location but home needs a little love.
Great location, nice beach access unless you have to wall down the street to get over the dune. We got lucky and the people across were not home so we used their makeshift walk over which saved a thousand steps in the heat. The house was in extremely poor condition but it suffices for a few nights. It by no means sleeps 25, more like 8 comfortably. The rest of the beds on the 2nd floor were not usable and the 3rd floor was even worse. The 3rd floor as no AC only a small room one that does nothing to cool down when its above 85 outside. Literally no way to sleep on those bunk beds either. The house was dirty and kind of nasty (but sanitized) if you looked close enough. They have these huge bean bags that when jump on lets out a massive dust cloud...yuck. The manager was helpful and constantly commicating with us via email. I was kind of embarrassed inviting family and will more than likely try somewhere new next time.

Nice big house
The house was nice, and big enough to house all of our friends/family for a few days. Everyone loved coming together on the ground floor to grill and enjoy dinner together. We all had a great time and would like to come back.
