On the main level, the open living area features high ceilings, recessed lighting, and wood floors. Casual and beachy, the entire room is wide open and ideal for large groups and families. Outside through the glass door is a private oasis overlooking the tranquil bay waters— with plenty of seating and space to lounge.

In the kitchen, stylish shaker cabinets are topped with sparkling marble countertops. There’s tons of storage and space to work here— from brewing the morning coffee to preparing an elaborate dinner for the whole crew. You’ll have everything you need and more. A spacious island has casual bar seating for early morning pancakes or post-beach afternoon snacks. Classic white subway tiles and stainless steel appliances add a chic feel to the space. There’s a half bathroom off the kitchen as well as the master suite with a spacious full bathroom and closet, king-size bed and private access to the first level deck overlooking the bay.

Upstairs, an open lofted living area is a great hangout space. Outside is a soaring third-level deck space with panoramic views of the bay. Four more bedrooms provide plenty of flexible sleeping space. The first and second bedrooms have a king-size bed. A third bedroom has two queen-size beds set side-by-side, and the fourth bedroom is a bunk room with two twin-over-full-size bunks and a twin trundle bed. There’s also a large full bathroom and laundry room.

Located on a quiet, curved lane, Baydream Believer is the peaceful Texas Gulf getaway you’ve been daydreaming about. Enjoy quiet mornings overlooking the bay while you sip your morning coffee. Bring your fishing gear and catch your dinner right from the private boardwalk— then grill it on the barbeque.

When your gang is ready to hit the beach, you’re only a quick drive away from the sugary sands of the Gulf of Mexico. And the dining, shopping, and entertainment of the Seawall and historic downtown Galveston are a short hop away. Become a Baydream Believer— and make this stunning waterfront villa your new home-away-from-home on the coast.
