     Welcome to the Mayflower, our second home-away-from-home on Galveston Island we’d like to     
     share with you. Named by our daughter, the Mayflower is a gentle giant that welcomes visitors with 
     a strong calmness.
The spacious Beachfront House gives you a beautiful view and relaxing retreat. 
     Whether your preference is sunbathing on the quiet beach or an early morning jog; wading into 
     West Bay for fishing or crabbing with the grandkids, this is the perfect house for you.

     Situated one house in from the Galveston, Texas, sea shore, our four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 
     central air-conditioned home that sleeps up to 12 people is located far enough away from main 
     streets to offer all the peace and quiet you’ll need in order to hear the ocean’s breaking waves day –
     or night. However, if you choose civilization, you’re minutes away from Galveston’s wonderful 
     attractions and nightlife. Whether with your entire family or on a romantic vacation, you’ll find that 
     Galveston is home to exciting entertainment possibilities.


  just what you're looking for u
  The Mayflower has a private deck on the roof for   
  discreet sunbathing with a perfect view of the surf,
  sand and blue skies.  It is ideal for late night star   
  gazing or an intimate location to get your best 
  tan ever!

 

t  wide open spaces  Here is an opposite-angle view of the living room/dining room and part of the kitchen. If you look carefully above the clock and past the ceiling fans, you can see the Mayflower’s second-floor balcony that overlooks the entire living room, dining room and kitchen areas. The door in the far-left corner opens to a large bedroom with a private bath, king-sized bed and door to an outside deck. 

 words can't describe u This is what    
  it’s all about! Words can’t begin to explain the   
  feeling of a perfect beach retreat. The   
  water, the sand, the sky, good friends and 
  family…this is what keeps most people coming   
  back to The Mayflower year after year.  It’s a   
  magical experience we hope you choose to enjoy!

 

t  great entertaining The Mayflower’s kitchen is bright, airy and open. It is set up for counter-top eating or looks out onto the dining room for easy serving and entertaining. It is fully-equipped with dishes, glasses, microwave, stove, large refrigerator and dishwasher—for easy clean-up. All you need to bring are your favorite foods and beverages and you’re set for a good time!

a private retreat u The large, cozy   
bedroom with king-sized bed on The Mayflower’s   
first floor is surrounded by windows and comes   
equipped with its own spacious bathroom and 
walk-in closet. This private retreat is perfect for 
those who want a bit more peace and quiet and the advantage of a private deck with gorgeous ocean and/or stargazing views! 

 

 

t  a welcome addition The Mayflower’s first-floor bathroom with full shower is one of three bathrooms in this large beach home. It is perfect as an extra amenity so your visitors don’t have to walk through your private room to clean up after a sandy day at the beach!

decked out u The Mayflower has three   
decks that are perfect for lounging, reading,   
entertaining and/or just gazing at the unblocked 
views of the ocean. You’ll find the spacious and 
private decks a great way to enjoy the great 
outdoors right from home. If you’re a romantic, it’ll be exciting to know you can do some fantastic 
stargazing from one of the three decks that lead 
off Mayflower bedrooms.

  

t  queen-sized luxury The bright and spacious bedroom with queen-sized bed located on the Mayflower’s second floor, of course, also has wonderful ocean views! It is attached to a large bathroom that has two entrances so it can be shared by other second-floor guests.

  guest - or private - bathroom u 
  The Mayflower’s second floor bathroom is quite   
  large and is attached, as you can see here, 
  to the second-floor bedroom with the queen-sized 
  bed. This is one of the Mayflower’s three   
  large bathrooms. It doubles as your own   
  private bathroom when you need it to 
  and as a perfect third bathroom for the other 
  guests in the house.
