Fiddler Crab - Walk to Beach, Gulf Views & Decks

Climb the stairs of this light blue, three-story beach house and the day slows down. Sunlight pours through tall arched windows into 1,843 square feet of open living space, ceiling fans turn under a vaulted ceiling, and every level opens onto a deck with a palm tree and a thin line of water on the horizon. Mornings start with coffee on the upper deck. Afternoons belong to the beach, a short walk away, and evenings bring burgers off the gas grill and long dinners around a rustic wood table.

Sleeping Arrangements
Total occupancy: 9 guests
Total beds: 7

Two private bedrooms for the adults and a bunk room for the kids make this layout easy for families and groups of friends, with one king, one queen, and five twin beds across the home.

The light blue bedroom is a coastal retreat with a wood plank headboard, navy pillows, nightstands with lamps, a flat screen TV, and a glass door that opens to the balcony. An ensuite bathroom right off the room makes it a natural pick for a couple who wants a little privacy.

The second private bedroom centers on a wooden sleigh bed dressed in crisp white linens and tropical print pillows, with a matching tall dresser and nightstand, a framed mirror, and a ceiling fan. It suits grandparents or a second couple looking for a calm, bright space to unwind after the beach.

Bedroom 3 is the bunk room kids dream about, with two white twin-over-twin bunk beds, a trundle tucked under one bunk, star print pillows, navy curtains, and a navy dresser. Five twin beds mean cousins, teens, or a gang of friends can all bunk together.

Bathrooms
Three full bathrooms keep beach mornings moving. One feels like a spa in sea glass tones, with seafoam walls, a tiled walk-in shower behind a glass door, a granite vanity, and rolled white towels. Another brings classic beach cottage charm with blue beadboard, a pedestal sink, an oval mirror, and a jetted tub and shower combo behind a seashell curtain, perfect for rinsing off sandy little ones. The ensuite pairs a wood vanity and framed mirror with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower lined in stone look tile.

Living Areas
The living room is the heart of the house, with a soaring vaulted ceiling, tall arched windows, and ceiling fans keeping the air moving. Gray sofas and a sectional gather around a wooden coffee table, wicker armchairs flank a granite-surround fireplace with a wood mantel, and a bean bag chair waits for whoever claims it first. A large TV with a DVD player makes movie night easy, and the open layout keeps everyone connected to the kitchen and dining area.

Kitchen & Dining
Honey wood cabinets, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances fill the open kitchen, lit by pendant lights and an arched window. Four bar stools line the granite peninsula for snacks while dinner cooks on the smooth top range, and a wine rack, wine glasses, blender, and dishwasher make hosting simple. The coffee station is ready for early risers with a coffee maker and a single serve brewer beside the toaster oven. Meals come together at a live-edge style wood dining table with a bench and leather chairs, set beside an arched window and a door straight out to the deck.

Decks & Outdoor Living
Outdoor time is what this house does best. On the upper deck, tall colorful Adirondack chairs line the railing, looking past rooftops and palms to a strip of water on the horizon. The covered deck offers shade, turquoise Adirondack chairs, a striped cushioned outdoor sofa, and a lounge chair facing the green lawn and palm trees. Fire up the stainless gas grill on the sunny deck, then carry plates down to the shaded patio under the home, where an octagonal wooden picnic table and benches are made for long, lazy lunches.

Laundry
A private laundry room with a top load washer and dryer, a utility sink, and storage cabinets makes quick work of beach towels and swimsuits.

The elevator is not available for guest use. A private driveway offers parking for up to four vehicles.

Fiddler Crab sits on a palm-landscaped cul-de-sac in Pirates Beach, a community of raised beach homes on Galveston's West End, with marshland and water behind the neighborhood and the open Gulf just a few streets away. A short walk leads to the beach access and a long, sandy shoreline. Shops and restaurants are nearby, and Galveston favorites like the Historic Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn make easy day trips.

The private driveway holds up to four vehicles. The beach access is a short walk from the house, so you can leave the car parked for beach days and drive into Galveston for the Seawall, the Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn.
