"We had one of our best Galveston vacations ever at the Hudson's beach house rental overlooking Galveston Bay.  We had a great time fishing on the private pier.  Aptly named the 'Sunset Bungalow.'"

Galveston is just 45 Miles south of Houston, TX  on the Gulf
of Mexico.  If you live in Chicago (or west), you're closer
than Tampa.  Getting here is easy... it's leaving that's really
difficult.

Party hardy on either of 2 fabulous decks.  Bring your boat and tie up at your private dock including fishing lights for fun nighttime catching.  Trout, redfish, flounder as well as blue and stone crabs are caught right off "Sunset Bungalow's" lighted dock.

Experience a special beach house vacation in Galveston, just as if you were at your own home.  Complete with washer dryer, every family member will have fun with a wide variety of activities including swimming, horse shoes, games, fishing, beach combing and more.  Overlooking the beautiful West Galveston Bay and located in popular Jamaica Beach  (just nine miles west of the Galveston Seawall) you don't have to go far to find good restaurants, grocery store, boat launch, shopping and of course, the un-crowded Jamaica Beach beach.  For other Galveston vacation activities, well known tourist venues like Schlitterbahn and Moody Gardens are a quick drive.

"We had only a few days of vacation and wanted to spend it in a quiet laid-back place with a beautiful view. Wow! We found what we wanted at Terry and Jeanne Hudson’s Sunset Bungalow on Galveston Bay. The immaculate and newly-updated beach house has many luxuries you don’t usually find in an island resort town—very comfortable beds, lots of pillows and towels, bright happy colors, modern appliances and more. But the best part is the incredible, unimpeded view of Galveston Bay. From the spacious (and private) wooden deck, we watched the sun rise and set over the water just a few feet away. At night we could hear the waves gently touching the clean, sandy shore, and we saw the stars shining brightly overhead.  In the morning, we awakened to the sounds of seagulls diving for breakfast. It was a breathtaking experience! We will certainly recommend it to our friends, and we plan to return often to Galveston Island and to the Hudson’s Sunset Bungalow."    D. Booth Irving, TX

There's a lot of great Galveston beach houses, but at our home,  Sunsets  are spectacular from either large canal or street side deck. If you watch closely, you just might see the rare green flash as the sun sets on the horizon.  In fact, visitors often tell us this is one of the best places they've been to watch the sun set.  Imagine late afternoons filled with great memories of one awesome sunset after the other.  Each day presents a different array of colors and hues.  Located close to the natural sea grass and water of Jubilee Bay, you'll be amazed at the natural palette of soft pastels painted right before your eyes.  Sip your favorite beverage with your friends and take some great photographs of the phenomenal sunsets offered just about every day of the year

About the owners:  Jeanne and Terry Hudson are the adventuresome types.  Prone to travel, in December 2000 they took they're beloved sailboat Osprey, and spent a month sailing to St. Thomas US Virgin Islands.  After staying for nearly 8 years, they decided to leave and return to Texas to re-establish important relationships with family and friends.  They loved the laid back atmosphere of the USVI and life in St. Thomas and hoped to find a similar hideaway community.  Two close friends owned weekend homes in Jamaica Beach and after visiting several times, they purchased a home and moved in April 2008 only to be one of thousands affected in September by Hurricane IKE.
