About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Life Saver is charming 3 bedroom house a block and half from the beach.


Imagine this: you and your favorite crew at The Life Saver, a bright, breezy 3-bedroom beach house. Tucked in the exclusive Pirates Beach neighborhood, you’re minutes from top-notch island dining, sights, and good times.

Inside, the open-concept living room and kitchen keep the vibe easy and laid-back. Step out to the covered balcony, where a table, chairs, and two rocking chairs set the scene for morning coffee with a salty breeze and waves as your playlist.

Downstairs, kick back at the rustic Seahorse Saloon, your drink of choice in hand, the game on TV, and plenty of room for great company. A fridge keeps your beverages cold and ice at the ready.

We’ve packed the place with fun: beach chairs, board games, toys, coolers, and a hefty cart to haul it all. Just don’t forget the sunscreen.

The kitchen’s primed for action with a blender, griddle, ice cream maker (salt included), spices, and every pot, pan, and utensil you could want. Linens and bath towels. Covered. After a sun-soaked day, rinse off the sand and saltwater in the outdoor shower.

Your beach escape’s waiting, let’s make it happen!
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Pirates Beach. A water park is available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and balcony

A beach house with good spaces
This beach house has a good layout and good spaces to hangout, including inside and outside. The beach is a short walk. The neighborhood is nice and people are friendly. Convenience store, Waterman restaurant, and State Park are very close.

Family beach trip
This was the perfect place for our family of four. We had plenty of room and everything we needed for a beach trip was supplied. The beach was quiet and plenty far away from the busyness of Seawall Blvd. The host was great to work with and communicated with me very easily. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for us!
We are all very happy with the beach house. About 60 feet out the back and to the left is a short quiet cul-de-sac that runs less than 2 blocks and leads to the beach. Seawall blvd is maybe a 6-minute drive away, and an inexpensive dollar general store is maybe a 3-minute drive from the beach house. There is nothing for us to complain about. Quiet, clean, and comforting! Thank you David!!!

Excellent experience all around!
Our family loved our stay at The Life Saver! We had everything we needed in the bathroom and kitchen and for the beach. The property was clean and well cared for even out to the landscaping. The neighborhood was lovely everywhere. Only a short walk to the beach. David is an excellent communicator. Thanks for a great experience- we plan to come back!

Great house and close to beach
Cozy comfortable beach house in quiet neighborhood. Very close to beach. Suggest bringing own beach towels, few kitchen towels and dish-wand, drinking water. We would of liked some more hand towels and wash clothes in bathroom. The place was well air-conditioned, but We purchased a fan to keep bathroom cool between showers. Bring extra blankets as queen size beds only had sheet. Luckily we were able to use full size blankets from bunk beds. Bring mosquito spray! We enjoyed only being 10-15 min to town with 4 yo, we went to town everyday for activities and dinner.

Beach house
Must be very careful with small children on 2nd floor deck. Enough room between slats on railings for a small child to fall through. House was clean and well stocked but all beds were hard. The downstairs area was not.clean. All chairs were rusted and boogie boards were broken. Bird poop on all furniture and washer/dryer area was a mess. You could tell knob on washer had been repaired with glue and would not stay on. Lost knob several days in but eventually found it in a organizer rack on opposite wall. Texted owner about it and he was not nice about it. Would not recommend this house if you have small children or want to wash your laundry while on vaca.

Last minute weekend get-away
My family of 5 had the best short-notice beach weekend! Weather was great, food was delicious, beach was nice and quiet, and the house felt like home. A few things that made a momma of 3 little boys happy:plenty of beds with clean bedding, clean kitchen and bathroom, washer and dryer, tv channels, dvds, games, all the beach necessities with a wagon to pull them in, and close location of the house from the beach! We made wonderful memories! Thanks David!! ☀️🌊⛱👍😄

Cute, fun rental that was perfect for our family vacation. Short walk to the beach & it wasn’t busy at all. We went every day. Love the outdoor shower to rinse off & the hang out spot underneath. Owner was very accommodating.

The property is well kept and has just about everything you will need to enjoy a beach vacation. The access to the beach is really convenient. It's like the beach is the backyard. I would certainly recommend this property.

Perfect little getaway
This property is just outside Galveston and a block and a half from the beach! We loved the sunny deck off the living room and the bar and patio located underneath. The extra outdoor spaces allowed everyone to spread out and enjoy the space in their own way. There were tons of extras for the beach like toys, wagon, outdoor shower, etc. The neighborhood was quiet and even at night. Nicely equipped kitchen with plastic wear for the kids also. We would definitely choose to stay again!

Great beach time
This property was nice, about a block from the beach. Enjoyed having an outside shower to clean up after beach time. Enjoyed having breakfast on the deck. My kids loved playing card games, puzzles, and reading books after beach time. There is a park for kids about 5 minutes south and shopping about 15 minutes north.

Perfect!
The other reviews are not kidding when they say this rental has everything you could possibly need! This was the most perfect space we could imagine for our family vacation. Close to the beach, clean, and a nice neighborhood. The upper deck is not safe for small children, but that is okay because the lower outdoor area is a perfect place for them to play. We had so much fun at this beautiful house!
