3BR Beach Escape w/ Decks, Games, Views & Firepit

Watch ships pass by, enjoy sunrise and sunset from the deck, and relax just steps from the beach at Lost Salt Surf Shack. Sip your coffee or a cocktail in the shade, unplug from the daily grind, and make some easy memories with family or friends. We’ve got games, a pellet grill, and plenty of flags to fly. You choose which flag to fly, we've got tons.

This home has three bedrooms: a king, a queen, and a room with two twin-over-twin bunks. The spacious living room and fully stocked kitchen make it easy to relax or cook meals. You’ll also have access to a laundry closet. Enjoy the top deck with great views and seating, unwind on the downstairs patio, and find more games, seating, and a firepit in the garage—perfect for evenings together.

You’ll have access to the entire house during your stay, except for any locked closets, which are reserved for owner storage and cleaning supplies. Please also avoid accessing the attic. All other spaces—including bedrooms, living areas, kitchen, patios, and garage—are yours to enjoy.

The best way to reach me is through Airbnb’s messenger, but you’re also welcome to call or text if you need anything during your stay. I’m always happy to help!

Nestled at the western edge of the Bolivar Peninsula, Port Bolivar is a laid‑back coastal community just a short and free ferry ride away from Galveston Island

It features wide open beaches, picturesque Gulf views, and sandy shorelines ideal for beach combing, birding, or casual outings with family and friends

This area is quiet, residential, and casually friendly—perfect for unplugging and enjoying the coastal scenery. Homes here are elevated due to flood risk, offering unmatched water views and a breezy coastal lifestyle
Nearby you’ll find scenic parks like Fort Travis Seashore Park, historic sites, local seafood spots, and easy public access to beaches and marshland trails
In short: It’s a tranquil slice of Gulf‑side living—relaxed, scenic, and refreshingly unhurried.

Getting around Port Bolivar is easy and laid-back. Most guests drive, and there’s plenty of parking at the house. You’re just a quick walk or drive from the beach—golf carts are popular here and are allowed both in the neighborhood and right on the beach. Local shops, restaurants, and the ferry to Galveston are all a short drive away, so you’ll have everything you need within easy reach.
