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.

 Sunset Bungalow... Recent Guest Comments

Excellent Stay at Sunset Bungalow

Guest: Joe & Angie(Borger, Tx)
Date of Stay: 07/05/10 Review Submitted: 07/12/10

Our family had a great time staying at Terry and Jeanne Hudson’s Sunset Bungalow. We enjoyed spectacular sunset & water views from the two huge decks. The listing photos don't do the property justice, you have to see it to believe it. The kids used the lighted boat dock everyday fishing and crabbing. We were just minutes to the Jamaica Beach beach. We will most definitely recommend this property to our friends and family. The house was great and immaculately clean. Everything we needed for a great stay was supplied, all we needed to do when we showed up was unpack our clothes. For the money this was better than any island hotel we could have stayed at.

What a wonderful vacation spot for anyone. The house is so cute and roomy. And it has everything you need! Terry and his wife are willing to help with anything,they showed the kids how to use the crab cages, and even took us on a boat ride.The beach is close by along with a cute little grocery store. We didn't want to leave! Looking forward to coming back next year.

great house!

we stayed the weekend of Sept 17th - 19th, and even though it rained on us and we didn't get to see the sunsets, we had a great time at this house. Very accomodating for our family, 4 siblings and spouses with a couple of grandbabies, the house was very comfortable for all of us. We had a great time fishing off the lighted dock, and having our boat right there was really nice. The house was well stocked, coffee maker, blender, dishes, and a washer and dryer. Also there are movies, books and several board games. And we loved being right on the water, and also loved the wetlands right across the street. Nice place!!!!!!!

Guys' Weekend - Great House, Great View, Great Time

The location is very quiet with great views of the sun setting over the bay and the beach is just down the street. The house is well kept and unique with a great deck and lower area on the canal. We set crab traps (provided at the house) and caught stone and blue crabs just below our deck. We had great meals cooked on the grill and prepared in the well appointed kitchen. The bedrooms were nice as were all the bathrooms. It was a great place for all six of us to stay for a four day weekend of golf and fishing. Things to do: Golf at Moody Gardens (just a few minutes from the beach house) great course. Fishing with Captain Galen (cowboybootsandbathingsuits.com) We all caught trophy-size bull redfish and shark. Go to Woody's - A great bar just down the road built on piers over the beach. great view and open deck to have a cold one on.

Clean and Cozy!

Our family had the best time at this exceptionally clean and cozy beach home. The kids loved the crab cages at the boat dock just outside the door. There was plenty of comfortable seating and beds. Loved the washer and dryer convenience. Because of our numbers (7 adults, 2 kids) we really needed a larger skillet to cook with and a few extra towels, but other than that it was perfect. Thanks Jeannie and Terry for checking in with us during our stay just to make sure all was well. Would absolutely love to stay again.

Our family has stayed in countless galveston & Bolivar beach properties, and this one takes the cake! The accommodations were immaculate, the view amazing and the extra details did not go unnoticed. The book, game and video library was a great touch. We look forward to coming back and can't wait to return with our boat. Thanks so much for making this wonderful home available! Thanks again for the boat ride. SB

We loved the beach house as we (my husband, two small daughters) stayed there to bring in 2010. It is a great layout for a family and entertaining. The beds are very comfortable and the furnishing are very cute. The house was immaculately clean! We entertained a great deal at the house, as we used to live in Galveston and still have family there. The view onto the estuaries is incredible. especially in the mornings and evenings. We rented a golf cart and had loads of fun trolling to the beach and around Jamaica beach. The kids fished in the canal, water a little to cold, but fun none the less. Having rented numerous beach houses on Galveston Island, I would definitely rent this again. The price is right and the house is great! Amalie M, TX

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

It was pretty amazing that I was driving along on the West End & Goggled for "beach rentals" and this place came up and we called. Mr. Hudson was very nice and met us here so we could see Sunset Bungalow. It was as advertised... but, better! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Hudson for making your house available to us on such short notice. We will tell our friends and we'll be back later this summer.

We had a nice family reunion coming in from Dallas, Chicago and Jacksonville. What a perfect place to relax and get together! The house is so pretty and the views are incredible! Our hosts couldn't have been more attentive to our needs- and we were a needy bunch. Thanks for everything and especially the boat tour. John B.

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.
