Bella Vista - Steps to Private Beach Family Escape
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!

The location was steps from the beach with a great ocean view from the covered porch. House is older and could use some updates. But for the price? It was perfect. House was clean and equipped. Outside showers were a plus. Two large bathrooms were nice.

Great house and location.
This property made for a great stay on our vacation. It's just steps away from the beach, and about a 15 minute drive from downtown Galveston.

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.

Beautiful ocean view
We really enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean, check in super easy and literally steps from the beach and ocean. Pretty well stocked, you can tell the owners are continuing to fix the place up and they're doing a nice job! Overall, great place to stay and we recommend it!

This beachouse was fantastic! We absolutely loved the location. You are literally right there on the beach. It was so convenient to enjoy the beach and have the house right there to run back and forth for things, or for those who wanted to be in the ac they could still see us at the beach. Really loved the no vehicles on the beach area this home is in. Just made it more private, less busy, safer for the kids and asthetically prettier. The house itself slept so many and all so comfortably, beds were great, with extra ac units in two of the bedrooms, the home stayed ice cold. We will definitely book this house first when available in the future. It was just perfect. The owners were also so so nice and so accommodating with our special requests. Just amazing, thank you for a great weekend for our family.

My family and I enjoyed this property. The house is a cozy retreat with great views. The proximity to the beach was awesome. My husband and I could watch the kids play on the beach from the balcony.

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.

Beautiful and cozy
We loved that it was so close to the beach. The place was small but cozy. I loved all the beach vibes. It was clean and had everything needed. We did find a dead cockroach in one of the rooms and another live one in the bathroom.
We were very comfortable.

Perfect Beachfront Home
This house is a gem steps away from the beach! The location is perfect—just 8 miles from Moody Gardens but far enough away from the tourist-y sea wall. We enjoyed evenings on the patio. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, bathrooms are spacious and the kids loved both bunk rooms. The host had great communication—don’t wait, rent it for your family getaway!

Beach
Property was in the perfect location. No beach crowds, steps from the beach. Home was well appointed. We experienced a little hiccup getting into the property but neighbor helped us and owner was responsive. We would love to come back.

Beautiful beach location
House was everything we expected and more. It’s is a cute house and a great location, literally walking distance from the beach. We loved just sitting outside on the outside patio. House was very clean and had everything we needed in it to cook. Would have liked to have a access to a grill, but other then that it was great!

Great Location
The location of this house is amazing. You are right on a beach which was not crowded at all. The outdoor shower makes cleaning up from your beach time easy. Lots of cooking equipment in kitchen. House is showing some wear and tear.

Wonderful place! Will definitely return.
We just spent 6 days at this wonderful beach house for a family vacation. The house had everything we needed and the views were amazing. A very short 20 second walk to the beach each day made for a very easy beach set up. The host was super gracious and responded promptly to messages and questions. We will definitely be back to Bella Vista. So far my fav beach house yet! Thank you!

Beach weekend
We had a lovely time at this beach house. The location cannot be beat. You are literally steps away from the beach. The beach was not overcrowded at all. We ran into difficulty when checking in because the code was not working to get in. We were quickly able to get in contact with the host to fix this. The house was mostly clean but we found some trash from the previous guest. We could not open the door for the outdoor shower because the latch is broken. Otherwise, the house is nice and we enjoyed our weekend. We would definitely stay there again in the future!

What a Blessing!
Our ladies Galveston trip was Amazing there at the Bella Vista Beach house.. There was plenty of beds and the view of the beach on the deck was breath taking!! The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and pots and pans we needed. Even had a grill too!
Plenty of towels for everyone. Very pleasantly decorated and roomy for our 11 ladies. The walk to the beach from the Bella Vista was not far at all. So convenient to go back to the beach house for lunch or bring lunch to the beach to enjoy. We brought a wagon but did not need it. We did take a cooler with rollers and tent to the beach. Along with chairs and floats. Not far at all if you forget anything. We loved that you didn't have to drive anywhere to go to the beach which saved time and gas. More time on the beach. Will book again!

Great location in Galveston
We visited Palm Beach over Spring Break with 3 teenagers. Although the weather did not cooperate, we enjoyed great walks and runs on the beach and a comfortable living room for watching March Madness. The bathrooms are larger and more updated than those of other beach houses we have stayed in recently. The two bunkbed rooms are cute and fun for kids and teens. The kitchen was pretty well stocked. (I think the only things we would have liked that we could not find were foil and cling wrap.) The location could not have been better. The house is just a few steps from the beach. The porch would be wonderful in warmer weather. Finally, this subdivision, as well as those on either side, have beaches that are not open to traffic. One of my pet peeves in Galveston is that, in many places, you have to share the beach with cars. Not here. Highly recommend.

Summer getaway
We absolutely loved this place. It had everything you needed and more. The close proximity to the beach was AMAZING !!!! We had quite a few little ones and taking them back and forth was a breeze. We will definitely be back. Thanks for an amazing family beach trip!!!
