Skin and Bones are located at the far east end of Galveston Island - 4 large bedrooms with 3.5 baths - newer construction. She's a skin doctor, he's a bone doctor - welcome to Skin & Bones. The home is located in the gated community of The Preserve at Grand Beach Galveston.  Skin and Bones will accommodate up to 10 guests and features two decks for a full view of the East end of Galveston Island.  Guests are a short bike ride away from the historic Strand and all that East Beach has to offer. This beauty has an open floor plan with a large, fenced yard.

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area has great flow where the family may enjoy relaxing, playing games at the large dining table, and meal preparation in this well-appointed modern kitchen.  The fourth bedroom is located on the first level of the home and is two twin bunks (sleeps 4) which has a full bath. The half bath is also located on the first level of the home.  The other three bedrooms are upstairs (2nd floor).  The primary bedroom has a queen bed with an en-suite bath featuring a separate tub and step-in shower and a walk-out deck for morning coffee while guests watch as the ships pull in and out of Galveston harbor.  The second and third bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a jack-and-jill bath.  They are also located on the second floor of the home.  

Come and enjoy something new and different on the East Beach of Galveston.  The Skin and Bones home will delight even the most particular guest! This home has ample entertainment opportunities, close to the beach, and has gorgeous views.  Events, parties, or guests attending prom are prohibited at this home.

THE PRESERVE AT GRAND BEACH

Ryson partners exclusively with Gulf Coast Concierge to make your time on the island unforgettable! Gulf Coast Concierge understands it's the little things that count.

EXTENDED STAYS
Monthly rentals are considered in the off-season - Winter Texans, snowbirds, retirees, corporate stays, medical professionals, university students and plant workers are welcome. Extended stays or monthly rentals require a stay of 30+ nights, and these reservations are tax exempt. This is an immediate savings of 15%! Although most extended stay reservations are between the middle of November through February, extended stays may be considered anytime between Labor Day and Memorial Day. Extended stay reservations may not be placed online, but a Ryson Vacation Planner would love to answer any questions you may have and help you reserve your extended stay.

I would tell them that the beach access is not convenient. There is no gate in the back yard so it’s about a 10 min walk to the beach because you have to go all the way down to the bridge on the other side of the neighborhood or out the front gate and around to the public beach access. Also, only one dishwasher tablet provided for our 4 night stay with 9 guest was not enough.

The home was absolutely beautiful! I wish there were a king bed but made an exception on this house because it was so pleasing to the eye. The ice maker didn’t work (Although they agreed to reimburse me for a bag of ice), dishwasher did a poor job at cleaning the dishes, no iron. One thing that concerned me was that there was only 1 way in and out of the house. In the event of a fire that could be a problem. One of the nicest Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in so far. Second only to one in Dubai.

The stopper on the L sink in the master bedroom would not go down. I would say if you need curtains to block out light, don't stay here. We all woke up early in the morning.

This was our second stay at the property and we loved it as much as the first. Location, access to the beach, and the wonderful house itself make this an ideal Galveston rental!

I loved the various balconies at the location. It wasn't busy, and the few people there were very friendly. Definitely the place to get REST AND RELAXATION!
