About this property

The Blue Flamingo | Newly Updated, Near Beach!

With three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, The Blue Flamingo offers a welcome retreat for your next family or friends’ vacation in Galveston.

Less than a mile off the beach, you’ll be close to many area attractions and delicious dining options when you stay at this gorgeous Galveston vacation home. Head on down to Pleasure Pier and enjoy nostalgic thrill rides over the Gulf of Mexico. With rides for all ages and all levels of thrill seeking, it’s sure to be a hit with your group or try your hand at old fashioned midway games and take home a souvenir prize. The Bryan Museum offers a historic look into Texas and the American West. Enjoy casual beachside dining for the whole family at The Spot. Adults will love the ambiance and tropical drinks at Rumshack, a beachfront palapa bar, an excellent sunset spot.

When you pull up to this cheerful Galveston vacation home, you'll find that you can conveniently park two vehicles in the driveway. Open up The Blue Flamingo’s garage door to reveal a ping pong table. You find plenty of beach accessories for your use in the garage including beach chairs, a collapsible wagon and a hard-sided cooler.

The perfect place to relax, The Blue Flamingo has plenty of space for everyone to sprawl out and be entertained. The privacy-fenced backyard gives kids a place to play while you keep an eye on them from the oversized patio furnished with cushioned chairs and a bar counter. Stock the outdoor mini-fridge with cold drinks and snacks and catch a game on the flat screen TV mounted above the bar. Ceiling fans keep you cool in the Texas heat. Enjoy a family cookout in the evening on the BBQ grill...the hanging lights let you stay outside even after the sun has gone down.

Inside, the open floor-plan of the great room, dining area and kitchen keep everyone connected. Grab a board game off the shelf and get ready for family fun. With ample seating including a sofa and oversized bean bag, there is a cozy spot for everyone. A wall-mounted TV streams your Netflix shows or bring your favorite DVDs from home. Free WiFi keeps your laptop or tablet connected; stream music, surf the internet or chat with ease. Prepare hearty breakfasts and quick lunches in the fully-equipped kitchen, stocked with top-of-the-line appliances, cookware and utensils. Grab a stool at the bar counter or have a seat at the dining table with bench seats.

Downstairs, you’ll find a sectional and oversized ottoman in the laid-back family room with private access to the backyard. A flat screen TV and arcade-style basketball make this a fun spot for kids of all ages.

Enjoy a good night’s sleep in one of the three bedrooms upstairs. The primary bedroom is outfitted with a plush king-size bed and flat screen TV for late night viewing. The second bedroom houses a queen-size bed. Kids will love having their own spot...the third bedroom features two twin beds, one having a small trundle and a cozy floor chair. Stocked with plenty of fresh towels, three full bedrooms make it easy for everyone to get ready for the day’s adventures without having to wait. There’s ample space to store all of your belongings at The Blue Flamingo, but feel free to pack light. The stacked washer and dryer make it easy to have clean clothes every day of your stay.

Come explore Galveston and make memories with your favorite people...book The Blue Flamingo today!

No pets!
The house is cute.. but more green than blue. So first, I spent the week before we left trying to determine if we even had a place to stay, which is unacceptable. I made a reservation almost 30 days ahead and then the owners decided not to be pet friendly anymore. No indication to me, just the fact I noticed when my welcoming email arrived a few days before we were to leave. Their house, their rules… but you do NOT change the rules AFTER someone reserves, and stress them out. Lots of little roaches, broken coffee machine, and the second bath has a major backup so doesn’t drain. Front door lock is inconsistent and none of the remotes for tvs have volume control, really? I wanted to love it here, and maybe it was the several days of stress pre trip, never again

Love this house!
I love this house tremendously. It is now my go-to Galveston Beach home. It is so close to the beach which is so convenient plus close to the Strand and Gaido's! Not too far from the Pleasure Pier either. The rooms are roomy and there is plenty of room. I brought my daughter and 3 of her friends and they mostly hung out in the game room which is separated from the house and you don't hear a thing! The master bedroom is glorious and the bed is so comfortable. Plenty of room! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need plus a Keurig. The property owners are amazing and went out of their way to contact me to make sure my stay was going well. Its truly my favorite place to stay in Galveston.
