Seagulls overhead. The steady rhythm of Gulf waves just beyond the deck. Sunrise pours on to the deck as you sip coffee, breathe in salty ocean air, and settle into a stay where everything is already taken care of.

Rest-a-Shore is a true direct beachfront home, with the beach just beyond the deck and uninterrupted Gulf views that define the experience from the moment you arrive.

Step outside to the sight and sound of the ocean, with effortless access that lets you come and go anytime—no packing up, no hassle, just more time on the beach.

Effortless, Fully Stocked Stay
From a chef-grade kitchen and complete coffee station to stocked bathrooms, premium paper goods, baby gear, and beach gear—including chairs, a beach tent, and a wagon to carry it all—everything is thoughtfully provided so you can arrive, settle in, and enjoy from day one.

A Stay That Feels Different

Rest-a-Shore offers a true beachfront setting on Galveston’s West End, where the pace slows and time together comes easily.

Located in Bermuda Beach, you’re just minutes from the Seawall, The Strand, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn—yet far enough removed to enjoy quiet mornings, open space, and a quieter, more private stretch of coastline.

Start your day with coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the Gulf.
Spend long, unhurried beach days just steps from the door.
End the evening with dinner and conversation, the sound of the water always in the background.

Close to everything you want to experience.
Comfortably removed when you’re ready to unwind.

The Space

Rest-a-Shore is an upscale beachfront home designed for families and groups who want space, comfort, and a stay that feels effortless from the moment they arrive. From the moment you arrive, the home is spotless, fully stocked, and ready—so you can settle in immediately and start enjoying your time together.

Elevated coastal interiors that feel warm rather than formal, Smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and a Sonos sound system throughout. Every detail is intentional, creating a space that feels polished, welcoming, and relaxing after a day on the beach.

Outdoor Living - Beachfront

Spend your days on the sand and your evenings on the deck, with the Gulf just steps away and everything set up for easy outdoor living.

Expansive beachfront deck
Open Gulf views with the beach access just steps away
A covered beachfront deck with Tall Adirondack chairs for lingering mornings and sunset watching
Outdoor dining
Gas Grill for beachfront meals
A shaded lower-level gathering space with swing, picnic tables, and ping-pong
Outdoor shower for easy sandy rinse-offs

After a day on the sand, rinse off, grill dinner, and enjoy the evening breeze as the waves roll in.

    This house was very clean and well stocked with fabulous view of the ocean. The kitchen had a big island and very spacious with tons of cooking utensils. The host (Tammy) was very nice and responsive. We enjoyed this beach house so much we have recommended it to our family and friends.

    Absolutely amazing in every way. Beautiful house, in perfect condition, with everything that you could possibly need already there. The location is great, right on a quiet part of the beach. It's honestly hard to think of anything to change to improve it, it's just a perfect vacation setup. We already miss it!

    We’ve been looking forward to this trip for months. The kids were super excited, and the house did not disappoint in the slightest. They had everything we needed, it was well stocked and the extra garage with items was the best! You can see the owners pride in this house and it’s not just another “rental home”. Fantastic location, right where we needed to be.

    This was the most well equipped beach house I’ve stayed in! The kitchen appliances, towels, toiletries and baby supplies (high chair and crib) were all provided and high quality. They also provided a TON of beach accessories. We didn’t need to bring any big bulky items with us. We will rent again!

    We have been coming here for years. The home is beautiful and well maintained. It’s right in the beach so the kids can run back and forth to the house if needed. They have everything you could need inside the home and in the toy garage. We will always return to this property as long as it is available!!! The owner is incredibly nice and helpful!

    The property was exactly and precisely as advertised. Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked, very quiet and peaceful with a very efficient floor plan that made the house seem much larger than the square footage would indicate. When the home is described as Ocean Front, that means OCEAN FRONT. The only way you could be closer to the ocean would be sitting in the water. Our host, Tammy, responded quickly to each and every text we sent. The property definitely deserves five stars and a 10 rating. My wife and I liked it so much that we are rebooking some more time in October.

    Great place - not too big not too small - cozy - very well done and taken care of . Everything is just in the right place for comfort and ease of stay Steps from a non crowded Bermuda Beach. The Hosts are top notch and attended to our minor problem very quickly and happily. Location is just out of town but close enough to enjoy the restaurants and sights without driving miles . And super quiet - we were there on a relatively crowded summer weekend and felt like we were in our own bubble of peace and quiet . Oh and great air conditioning - frosty ! Good beds and comfortable furniture - Sonos for the tunes indoor and out was a nice touch . Covered patio Keeps you cool while you watch the waves and moon / sunset Plenty of beach toys so you don’t have to drag it all down there - Rest - a - Shore is an apt name for this place . We did some resting . We would stay again. Thanks Tammy

    This has been our third stay at this property (we come for a week each summer). It is our go to place now! We love it so much. Everything is so beautiful and clean and it’s right on the beach. I also love the ping pong table to play in the evening when it’s cooler. The outdoor shower is refreshing after being on the beach. Absolutely love it! We will be back.
