Summary:
NEW ADDITION! Welcome to House of Views—a stunning and luxurious beachfront escape where the name says it all. With sweeping water views from every angle, this prime location home offers a private boardwalk that leads straight out onto the soft sand. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, it’s the perfect blend of classy creature comforts and laid-back coastal charm.
The Space:
Inside, House of Views is all about light, flow, and that constant reminder that you are, in fact, at the beach. Expansive windows pull the Gulf into the living spaces, while an open-concept layout keeps everyone connected—whether you’re cooking, lounging, or just pausing to admire the ever-changing sky.
The kitchen is fully equipped and dressed to impress, ready for everything from quick breakfasts before a beach run to full-scale dinners with a salty breeze drifting in. The living area invites you to sink in and stay awhile, with comfortable seating and front-row views of sunrises, sunsets, and the occasional dolphin cameo.
Each bedroom offers a relaxing retreat, while the spacious deck invites you to soak in sunrises, sunsets, and salty breezes.

The Neighborhood:
Stavanger Beach feels like Galveston’s quieter, better-kept secret—a stretch where the soundtrack is more waves and seabirds than crowds and traffic. Located on the far West End, this small neighborhood is known for its tranquil atmosphere and large, modern beach homes. Unlike the bustling Seawall area, this stretch of coastline offers a quiet oasis primarily focused on residential relaxation and family-friendly beach activities.
Getting Around:
While Stavanger Beach itself is a residential area, it is within a short driving distance of major Galveston landmarks:
~ Outdoor Adventure: Galveston Island State Park (approx. 5 miles away) offers hiking, bird watching, and fishing.
~ Family Fun: Tourist favorites like Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Waterpark are about 18 miles to the east.
~ Dining & History: The Strand Historic District, known for its unique shopping and Victorian architecture, is easily accessible for a day trip.
