About this property

Updated Pet Friendly Beachside Home w/ Open Plan, Equipped Kitchen, Free Wifi

You and your family (pups included!) will love Casa Talara! This welcoming beachside rental in Pirates Beach features a bright & airy open layout, comfortable furnishings, and an easy neighborhood walk to the beach. Easily accommodate up to 8 people and 2 pups - you’ll love calling it home!

Surrounded by walls of windows, the contemporary living area boasts a plush sectional sofa, side chair & pub-height table perfect for card games. The dining table seats 6, and you’ll love indulging in fresh Gulf seafood surrounded by windows overlooking the large palm trees that wrap around one side of this fun beach house. Getting ready for dinner is easy in the fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a tile backsplash.

Everyone will enjoy slow mornings in the large, private bedrooms. The primary queen suite features an en suite bathroom sliding doors that open out onto the large deck. Two more bedrooms feature a full sleigh bed and a pair of twin bunk beds, respectively. Kids and teens will love having their own room, and reliving the excitement of the day while the adults sleep in.

Lots of deck seating and a ground level patio with a picnic table and charcoal grill make family barbecues a breeze. Once you're well-rested and well-fed, it’s time to pack up your beach cart, because the beach is only a 4 block neighborhood walk away!

An honest Review for larger families

The location and communication were great and the check in/out process was simple! Best parts were the porch and the location for sure! Plenty of storage for belongings for a longer stay as well! The overall quality of the home was a little disappointing. Maintenance could be done on the home to make it a bit more hospitable. The hot water heater was not able to accommodate a group of 8 even with showers and washing spread throughout the day. Many cold showers! The lock bock to get the key got suck and we had to work at it to get the key pad to reset so we could get the key back in it for checkout. Also, the floors have a lot of soft spots and separation which was a little concerning but not a hindrance to us enjoying our stay. The only hesitation I’d have to staying with a group again would be the hot water situation!

First Family Vacstion

House was VERY clean... Towels were bagged to know they were fresh. House was very nice and perfect for our group. Just wish they had a king bed. Fenced yard was great for the dogs. I would rent again. they

Rainy weekend beach house

We loved the house and had a great stay. We like the privacy and quiet of Pirates Beach, and this house was best by far that we have rented. It was a close 3 block walk to the beach, and despite being a rainy weekend (November in Galveston...who knew?) The house was very comfortable and conducive to having a relaxing stay.
