Welcome to 16607 Mansvelt Road in Galveston Island's Village of Jamaica Beach. This lovely home provides easy beach access. Home to the owners for many years, it is now ready for use as someone's permanent home or a great vacation rental.
As you enter the front gate (seen in the background) you have a wide covered passage between the two garages that lead you to this wonderful downstairs deck just perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
A closer view of the deck and its pergola. The large yard is beyond the deck.
And the outside fun areas include this upper deck as well.
The view from the upper deck shows the yard beyond. So many options for outdoor recreation.
As you enter the front door upstairs, you find this large living/dining combination perfect for get-togethers with family and friends. Notice the fireplace (perfect for winter days) and the built-ins on the left.
A view toward the front door. You will notice that the ceiling is vaulted to help provide a more spacious and comfortable feel.
This view of the dining area shows the connection to the kitchen in the background. These spaces just flow into each other making the home feel more even more spacious.
This pretty kitchen/breakfast room combination, with its multiple windows, is a bright and airy space in which to spend time.

This close up shows how the light cabinets and countertops, the stainless appliances, and the blue subway tile combine to make this a special room.
The primary bedroom is very spacious with enough room for sleeping, sitting, and study areas. The light enters on three sides making this a pleasant and soothing space.
Viewing the room from a corner, you see that this bedroom enjoys its own access to the upstairs deck. On the left is the entrance to ...
... the large en suite primary bathroom. 
Along with the twin sinks, you will enjoy having a jetted tub and a separate shower.

This is the second of the secondary bedrooms. This bedroom enjoys views of the back yard.
And this light and bright bathroom stands between the two secondary bathrooms.
On the ground level is this large grandfathered (as per the sellers) flex room. This view looks toward the interior stairs in the middle. On the left is a door to the bathroom, and on the right is a door into one of the garages and the French doors leading out to the patio.
As you can see, the owners currently use the room as an office plus an exercise room, but in the past have used it as a bedroom for one of their children. This room could also be a ....
... a game room (This photo has been virtually staged) ....
... or the perfect bunk room. (This photo has been virtually staged)
The ground floor bathroom helps add to your options for the flex room.
The home as viewed from the corner of the yard. Imagine a play set here, or even a volleyball net. The options are endless with this yard and home.Jamaica Beach is the location of this wonderful home.
