Gilchrist House | Gulf Front Luxury Beach House w/Mini Golf, Hot Tub, Firepit + Family Friendly

3 Bedroom House in Gilchrist, Bolivar Peninsula

Located on one of Texas’ premier beaches, Fore Shore is steps from feeling the sand between your toes, basking in the warm seaside sun, and splashing in the sparkling Gulf waters. This spectacular 3-bedroom, 2-bath beachfront home is beautifully styled with a modern coastal theme, has gulf views from every room, wide open social areas, comfortable private bedrooms, fantastic outdoor entertaining spaces including a hot tub & mini golf, and is directly on the water - all making for an unforgettably perfect vacation getaway.

The residence boasts an open designer kitchen with high-end appliances and convenient bar seating that seamlessly transitions to the dining and living areas. Guests will love the breathtaking gulf views and watching the sunset from these rooms, or they can head outside to the adjacent covered deck for an even better view with additional dining options, a seating area, and quick escape to the sand and sea.

Three private bedrooms and two full baths provide plenty of options for any type of group. Bedroom one is a king with a luxury ensuite bathroom and access to a private balcony. Bedroom two features a lovely queen bed, and the third bedroom is styled as a double bunk room – a fun feature that kids always love. The shared full bath has a great shower/tub combo that is ideal for bathing kids after a day of fun in the sun, and these rooms combined with a sleeper sofa in the living room comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests.

Outdoor living at Fore Shore offers endless possibilities for relaxation and fun! A private hot tub in the covered outdoor entertainment court down below is definitely the hot spot to chill day or night. Perfect your putting skills on the 9-hole mini golf course, host a cornhole tournament, nap in the hammock, relax on the porch swing, then prepare the catch of the day on the BBQ grill and serve alfresco in the shady picnic spot. Once the sun goes down, gather at the beachside firepit with Adirondack seating for s’mores and stargazing.

Ample on-site parking, an outdoor shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off after seaside excursions, and convenient laundry machines add to the long list of thoughtful on-property service extras. And be sure to find the hidden stand-up arcade and make the most of all the board games when not at the beach!

Amenity Highlights Include:
- Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi
- Dedicated workspace
- Comprehensive housewares package + standard small appliances
- Fresh linens, towels, and beach towels for every guest
- Beach chairs, gear, and toys
- Central HVAC system to provide year-round ambient comfort

Your vacation continues the moment you step off property where an abundance of sun splashed activities await. A central Bolivar Peninsula location provides easy access to all the area’s famous attractions. Stay local and take advantage of the beach at your doorstep, nearby restaurants, fishing, and watersports or take the Galveston-Bolivar Ferry over to the Island of Galveston for a day of fun at Moody Gardens, the Pleasure Pier, or Schlitterbahn Galveston. After a day of enjoying your favorite outdoor activities, head back to Fore Shore, kick off your shoes, then settle on the deck with a refreshing drink and unwind as the sun sets on the end of an amazing day in paradise.

Summary: Beach house was fabulous. Online pictures matched every room in person. Location was very good if you like seclusion. Just a Ferry Boat ride away from Galveston. We did have a small issue with a ceiling fan not working but management was quick to resolve the issue. I would recommend this Beach house and we will be back next summer.
