Location

The Skipper sits in a quieter stretch of Galveston Island — far enough from the bustle to feel like a real escape, close enough to enjoy everything the island offers. Next door — beach days just got easier: • Grocery Store & Gas Station • Restaurant (owner note on door says will re-open soon) Important Distances: • Jamaica Beach: 0.7mi • Moody Gardens & Schlitterbahn Waterpark: ~11 mi • Galveston City (Seawall, dining, nightlife): ~11 mi • Houston Hobby Airport: ~50 mi • Bush Intercontinental Airport: ~80 mi But why go anywhere? The beach across the street is pedestrian-only — no traffic, no noise, just a calm stretch of Gulf Coast sand.

Home truths

• Best for up to 5 adults (plus children). We've hosted many happy parties of six adults, but with one bathroom and our seating layout, up to five adults is the sweet spot. • Single-story home and lower to the ground than most beach houses. The outdoor stairway is open-air but partially covered by the roof overhang. • Limited infant gear — the home is not set up for babies. The house guide has local equipment rental info. • Checkout chores — guests are asked to handle a few light tasks to help us turnover quickly and keep costs down. You can opt out for a small fee we send to our cleaners. • Wi-Fi is provided via cable internet. We can't guarantee third-party signal quality, though it is generally reliable.
