Beachfront Salty Sandpiper

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

There is no place quite like Galveston Island when it comes to endless beach days and crashing waves. Make your way to Salty Sandpiper, and you will feel like a local in no time, perched right on the sand and within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shops that make this area so special. Enjoy a coveted location on Karankawa Beach, a quiet beach with restricted vehicle access on the sand, leaving it very tranquil. The spacious deck offers plenty of seating and uninterrupted water views, while the yard is ideal for family-friendly games and features a swing-up bar.

Inside, the wall of windows allows ample natural light to fill the entire living area, and everyone will love kicking back on the sectional for movie nights in front of the fireplace. The best homecooked meals can be prepared in the stylish full kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a large prep island with an additional cooktop, fun blue cabinetry, coffee maker, dishwasher, and wine fridge. Everyone can stay connected with the provided high-speed WiFi, and salty swimsuits won't be a worry with the private washer and dryer available.

You will be hard-pressed to find a better getaway here on Galveston Island, so book your stay while this gem lasts!

Awesome!!!

Everything is look like the pictures it was super super nice we had the view of the sea so nice i would definitely come back Just a comment for the owners, one arrives super loaded with things and you can't use the forklift so that unpacking isn't so hard, especially when you have older people who can't carry everything else. It was incredible and we would gladly return.excelent!!!!

Great for little kids

Was amazing to drink my coffee on deck in early mornings while kids played in sand just below. Love the proximity to beach and it was a portion where you can't drive vehicles so the kids were safer. Also, the owners had a ton of sand toys and umbrella and wagon for the beach so we only had to bring our necessities vs all of the normal beach stuff!

The location is perfect! Far enough away from Seawall but close to enough to everything. The house is stunning with large windows and direct beach access. Not enough characters for all the greatness here!

Salty Sandpiper- Amazing!

I didn’t want to take away from the 5 star AMAZING beach house, the owner is so generous to share. Cleanliness was about a 3-4. The owner provides all the sand toys and things needed to have a wonderful day on the beach! Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Would definitely recommend and love to stay again!

Horrible experience

If I could give 0 stars I would. We visited in July, there was a tropical storm that became a hurricane. Obviously the hurricane is an act of nature, it was the way everything was handled. The emergency binder did not have a place for shelter. The flashlights had no batteries, we were stuck there…windows poured in water in the house, we had no electricity and we were flooded in, had to be towed out. We had no way to cook food or keep food cold. We made it two days with no electricity! I communicated the entire time with the management who was not helpful. They would not reimburse us for the days we could not stay with no power or for the towing.

Beach Front

This is a great house. We had 2 families and the layout suited the number of people. The private bridge to the beach was great! Quiet yet a good proximity to restaurants.

Great house! So close to beach, restaurants, and entertainment!

It was so convenient and easy to get to the beach with the private walk way and we loved how all of the rooms were on one floor! We also loved how the house was right next to a grocery store and very close to other great restaurants. We were also thankful for all of the toys and the baby pool was a big hit with our one year old! The private shower was also so convenient. We were able to get the kids cleaned up and free of sand before going back into the house after beach at the beach all day. Very happy with our stay!

Beach sunrises 🌅

Our visit was outstanding. Right on the beach, hose to rinse off sandy feet. Beach is wide open and quiet without any vehicles allowed in this part. A couple of questions about the house - locks, etc. were quickly answered. Would come back again for longer!
