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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

Good location

The best part about this house was the location. Right on the sand and with a private walkover. I had small children so I liked that the balcony was enclosed, and there were no stairs inside the home. I will complain however that the master bedroom door to the balcony had a broken lock. I submitted a claim with the company and they told me the “local team” would be reaching out. But that never happened. So I had kids staying in a house that was not able to lock at night. This made me very unhappy.

Stick with VRBO

The home and property are very nice. Unfortunately this property is managed by Vacasa. We lost our AC and tried to get Vacasa to help. A day later we've heard nothing. We had to leave early and get a hotel due to the heat.

Miserable

No working fridge, in the living area, for our 5 day stay, the area floods with least amount of rain, we had a 1.5 feet of water in the street, we had to drive out in it,,, and the place was a pigsty, sand on the floors, feathers from pillow cushions everywhere, doors were nasty, a/c filter was caving in due to it was so dirty, cig butts and fish parts on deck, ants everywhere, outside and in, we had maybe 2 days of wifi, the rest of the time it was out! We got nothing but excuses, we have asked for a full refund, and plan to take them to claims court if they dont comply!

Peaceful Ocean Retreat

This was absolutely a wonderful place. The location is about 15 mins from downtown Galveston. Close enough to pop in and enjoy the town but far enough that the beach is so quiet; at times we felt like the only ones on there. The house is literally on the beach and has convenient access to a small convenience mart with groceries and gas. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside. It was well stocked and had everything we could ask for. The beds were so comfortable in every room. There was a closet full of games and beach gear. I can’t say enough good things about this place. You’ll love it, we loved it.

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.
