About this property
Dog-Friendly Retreat at Palisade Palms
Savor expansive bay views from the 12th floor of this dog-friendly condo at Palisade Palms. From the balcony, you can watch sailboats, cruise ships, ferries, and seabirds drift by—making it an ideal spot for a quiet morning coffee or evening wind-down.
Palisade Palms is a true Gulf-front (actual beachfront) luxury condominium resort on Galveston Island with direct, step-free access to the sand. Unlike many “beachfront” listings that sit behind Seawall Blvd or require crossing a road, there is no street between the building and the beach. Beach access is via an ADA-approved dune walkover bridge with a compliant width and ADA-compliant grade/incline, making it wheelchair- and stroller-friendly with no steps to traverse. This stretch of beach is also a no-vehicle area (no cars driving/parking on the sand in front of the building), creating a more relaxed, walkable beachfront experience. Guests enjoy resort-style amenities including heated pools, hot tubs, a large fitness center with sauna, tennis/pickleball, basketball, a putting green, and shared lounge/game spaces.
Inside, the open living and dining area features floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony access, providing an uninterrupted connection to the water. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and everything you need to prepare meals, along with seating at a breakfast bar and a dining table for two.
This condo comfortably sleeps up to six guests. The primary bedroom includes a king-size bed, en suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo, and a wall-mounted TV. The second bedroom offers a queen bed, a twin roll-away, and its own TV. A second bathroom with a glass walk-in shower is located just across the hall. The living room is thoughtfully decorated with subtle beach tones and includes a sleeper sofa and large TV—perfect for family movie nights.
Best of all, dogs are welcome (including large breeds), so your whole family can enjoy the beach getaway together. Whether you're lounging on the balcony or relaxing inside, this Palisade Palms unit offers a comfortable and scenic escape.
