About this property

Paradise Found | Beachfront, Steps from the Beach!

This beachfront home is located in the close-in west end subdivision of Spanish Grant Galveston. Paradise Found is a roomy two-bedroom, one and a half bath home that will easily accommodate 5 guests. The Spanish Grant subdivision has lovely beaches and guests walk out the front door and directly out to the beach access walk over to the water's edge (over the sand dunes).

Paradise Found has a lovely covered deck area with Adirondack-style seating so guests can watch the sunrise in the morning and dream away the sunny afternoon under the shady cover of the deck. The under part of the house features a closet with a full-size washer and dryer, outdoor heated shower, and large picnic table and charcoal grill.

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area is quaint as can be with cottage-style décor and a charming parasol at the end of the kitchen counter. The living area features a very large television, cable TV/WIFI, and DVD player with Netflix capabilities (bring your own login/password) for guest use. The kitchen features an open bar area for cool drinks while the chef prepares a fresh shrimp dinner for the family!

The primary bedroom has a queen bed and television and en-suite 1/2 bath, 2nd bedroom also has a queen bed plus a twin daybed. The 2nd bedroom also features an extra twin under the daybed for an optional sleeping arrangement. The bedrooms are roomy and comfortable with adequate storage and closet space to stow away suitcases and other vacation gear. Guests who stay at Paradise Found will return year after year for the cottage atmosphere in a beachfront home! Three-night minimum rental is required in the summer season. Four car maximum at this property. As with most beach properties, internet and WIFI can be sporadic with beach wind/weather. No refund for outages.

There are three (3) approved public pedestrian pathways to the beach in Spanish Grant. One is at the end of Spanish Grant Blvd. and the other two are at the east and west ends of Ventura. DO NOT enter the beach at Buena Vista dunes or by cutting through private property to access the beach. Parking is only allowed on the beach side of the road on Buena Vista.


SPANISH GRANT

Spanish Grant is a quaint, cozy, welcoming, friendly, island beach village, established well before the ’90s, located just seven miles West of 61st Street, with just three rows of beach homes and offers multiple pathways to access the beach. The beach in Spanish Grant is not a drive-on beach, which many families with small children prefer.

Great location
The location is excellent. The house was super cute although a little beat up lookin on the outside. I saw a few comments about the beds and I have to agree the beds could use some upgrading. Keep in mind to check galvestons beach conditions to make sure there are no rip current warnings before going in the water, we were unable to the full second day which was a bummer. Overall a great spot thats close to gas stations and not far from town.

Truly Paradise
I appreciate that the description and pictures of this property were accurate and not photo shopped. The house was clean. Towels were fluffy. There were enough products, but we did need to buy toilet paper. The house is literally 30 steps from the beach. The decor was really thoughtful. The bed in the master was an issue. It slopes badly to the center. I was able to get more comfort sleeping corner to corner. The twin bed was not comfortable either. The Murphy bed was nice. The couch is on its last legs, but not uncomfortable. The view from the front areas was great. The blinds in that area do not work well and should probably be replaced. The downstairs washer and dryer are nice and the laundry room is clean.. there are beach chairs and toys in the garage. The garage needs a cleaning. Many things in there are unusable. The chairs we needed were fine. All in all, this is a great place. Without hesitation, I would stay there again. Front row paradise, to be sure.

Property super cute. Great location. Steps from beach. Furniture is horrible! Couch is ripped and you sink to floor. Mattresses and box springs are old and broke or covered in plastic to make you hot and the sheets slide off. Contacted the so called host 3 times. only received 1 reply the day before we left and the answer was wrong

Family Spring break 24'
This home is right on beach front, beautiful deck view of the beach. Calm neighborhood, and calm beach since its mainly used by residents of the neighborhood. The beach is public, so there were some cars parked on the other side of street, but not too bad. The host has many useful items for beach: sand toys, wagon, chairs, fishing poles, and unbrella. House could use some exterior painting.

Perfect few days with sea breezes and waves steps from the beach
Awesome location and house had all the amenities listed. Great that no driving on the beach is allowed at this part of the beach. Quiet and peaceful. Steps from the water is accurate. Deck was shady in the afternoon with cool breeze and comfy furniture to listen to the waves. Outdoor shower greatly appreciated, and there were beach toys in the garage too!

Enjoyable weekend stay
Loved this cozy oceanfront place! Step right out onto the beach, great access especially with little kids. Love the gate that closes on the balcony so littles can’t go down the stairs alone. Super clean. Plenty of bath towels and extra blankets. Kitchen well stocked as far as utensils and pans, appliances (blender/coffee machine/etc) A couple suggestions just from staying at multiple beach houses- have more than 1 dish towel (so maybe supply multiple since they dirty quickly). The washing machine did not work so if those appliances could be checked before stays that way guests know in advance (we packed light thinking we could wash and we could not). I understand things happen and it could happen last minute where the owners don’t know.

great little place but needs a few upgrades
the best thing is you are practically on the beach...just a very, very short walk to the ocean. the decor is so cute and the covered porch was awesome. the furniture is not very comfortable. the beds were not very comfortable. the "gourmet kitchen" was not. no k cup brewer. pots and pans were odd ends. the downstairs shower did not work. dining room chair cushions need replaced. just some things to work on. we really enjoyed the location but didn't get much sleep for tossing and turning trying to get comfortable.

Cozy beach shack on a great beach!
This house was a perfect little place for the three of us to have a very quiet relaxing time. It may not be new and fancy but it was very clean, comfortable and was in a wonderful quiet part of the beach. It was wonderful to wake up to the amazing view and Is steps away from the water. We will definitely try to book this one again when the weather is warmer.

LOCATION not luxury.
Location is the greatest thing about this property. Location, Location, Location. Deck overlooking the beach and right out the door and on the beach was the best. Great light darkening curtains in the master - the 2nd bedroom should have some also for the kids. 1. need an upgrade...very old mattresses with an attempt to upgrade by overlaying with memory foam and covering with plastic. Very uncomfortable and no sleep. 2. little bitty ants were everywhere. Kitchen, living area, bedroom (in the bed), bathroom. 3. the hooks were rust laden....ruined a couple swim suits hanging them up to dry....hang on the wooden chairs. 4. LOTS of beach toys and boogie boards, and very rusty chairs in the storage area. Folks or owners should throw away items that don't work and not leave it to store. Beware of that storage area/garage - may find a critter in there. 5. We didn't have internet/T.V. the 1st day into the 2nd. The cable guy finally came out by 5 after making a call to the rental property. 6. The sliding door need NEW blinds/covering - the louvers are old, they fall off and difficult to open/shut. 7. Did not use washer/dryer - other appliances were good. Overall feel of the property is a 3 star. I can deal with worn floors, furniture, appliances, etc....but the beds and ants were downgrading features. Hope the owners upgrade the property - at least the noted items as mentioned.

Just steps to the beach
The location was the best part of our stay. So nice to walk right down the beach. The house could use some updating. The mattresses are very uncomfortable and the sofa is in bad shape. Could be a very charming place if some updates were made. Overall not a bad stay. Once again, the location is perfect.

Left a night early
This is a very rundown and outdated beach house. No curb appeal, tall grass, and very dinghy interior. Beds were uncomfortable we left a night early. Electrical outlets threw sparks and looked to be 40 years old. Half didn’t work at all. Won’t book again.

Right on the beach!
Good stay, house was in reasonable condition, cleaning could have been a little better, but no big problems of any kind, one bed was very very soft the other very firm. Location and view were absolutely perfect! Garage and hot and cold water shower downstairs were great. About a 15 second walk to the beach, it's right there! Close to all the restaurants and stores in town and the fishing pier. Would definitely stay at this house again.
