Dorado Grande is the rare Galveston beach house where you watch the sun rise over the water on the left side of the home and set on the right - same deck, same day, both shows. It sits in a quiet gated community near Stewart Beach, and it is one of the very few homes on the island with both its own private pool and its own private beach bridge straight to the sand, all in a super amazing location. No shared community walkway, no driving: you step right out of your own backyard and onto the sand.
And when you have had enough sun, your own private pool is waiting in the backyard. This is a true beach escape: four bedrooms, four and a half baths, sleeping up to 13. You're only about 8 minutes (2.5 miles) from the Strand and 9 minutes (2.3 miles) from the cruise terminal, with the island's main attractions close by.
Inside
The second and third floors open into a bright living and kitchen space with panoramic Gulf views. Three spacious king bedrooms each have their own en-suite bath, a bunk room with four twin beds and its own bathroom gives the kids their own space, and pull-out sleepers add room for extra guests. The kitchen is fully stocked with stainless steel appliances, and the wraparound decks keep you in the ocean air from sunrise coffee to sunset wine.
