GA1-ST1- Luxury Custom Build - Stunning Ocean View

CASA CARAPACE is a family-friendly luxury beach home that's picture-perfect. This new custom-built home with high-end finishes is located in The Preserve at Grand Beach, the first gated beachfront community on the east end of Galveston with a private neighborhood walk-over accessing the beach. The house has 5 bedrooms, 5½ baths and can sleep groups of up to 12 people. It is loaded with amenities perfect for family gatherings and friends’ groups. Professionally managed by GJC Vacation Homes.

***All guests must be disclosed. Photos only show 12 sleeping arrangements, but the home can accommodate up to 16 guests.
An additional bed fee of $20/roller bed when requested. We have total 4 beds available.

NEW CONSTRUCTION:
The home is located in a developing community. We do not know exactly when new construction will start or how long to expect construction to last on any house. You may reserve a house at a time when there is no construction, however, construction may begin prior to your arrival. We regret any inconvenience that may result. We have no control over these situations and are unable to refund your money.

BUGS:
Ants, mosquitos, cockroaches, silverfishes, spiders, love bugs, big bugs, small bugs, and all kinds of bugs are part of Galveston's life. You might see them unexpectedly during your stay. To control these pests, the house has been and will continue to be sprayed quarterly by our local pest control company. Per our pest control company, the spraying does not prevent them from crawling or flying in during the open and close of getting in and out of the house. However, if they do get in, they won't survive. Do not leave doors open; close doors immediately after use to prevent and minimize bugs from entering the home. Turning off the outside lights at the doorways also helps minimize bugs from getting inside as lights attract bugs and mosquitoes.
Do not bring food, snacks, candy into the bedrooms to prevent ants. Do not leave food crumbs on the floor inside the house that will attract cockroaches and ants, or on the ground floor outside near the grill and tables that will attract bugs, ants, and possibly wild animals such as raccoons or opossums.

DISCLAIMER: There are outdoor cameras surrounding the property.

***Cameras are only placed in all common areas OUTSIDE the property with noise detection. There are cameras in the front door, backyard, driveway, and side of the houses. There are no cameras inside the house. The cameras are in place to ensure the safety of everyone and for liability determination only.

*** Gardeners may visit during your stay. They will respect your space and privacy and will not be bothering you.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Stewart Beach. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.

Family beach trip
This is the perfect property for families. The bunk room is fun and all other rooms had very comfortable king beds. House if very well stocked. Access to the beach was very easy to reach with the wagons provided. Neighborhood was very quiet. We hope to return again!!

Hidden Gem!
This property was amazing! It was just enough off the beaten path that you got quiet, relaxation without the hustle and bustle of the sea wall. Though it was close enough, dining, shopping, and groceries were just a convenient ten minute or less drive. We will absolutely be staying here again!

Lovely
I stayed here with friends, there were 10 of us total. It was great for all the couples to have their own private bathroom and the location was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked so cooking was easy. Would stay here again.
