About Gaard Egeland

'Beach House' as she's known in the family, was purchased to accommodate visits for our ever growing family abroad. As with 'Love Shack' (#225951), 'Beach House' is now available for vacation rentals when not in use by our American-Norwegian brood. We take pride in creating comfortable spaces that foster easy interactions, relaxed living, and lasting memories for our family and now yours.

Gaard Egeland purchased this house in 2010
Why Gaard Egeland chose Galveston

Sunny Beach simply offers the best of both worlds. We love the natural beauty of West End beaches but also appreciate the convenience of quick access to attractions like Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, great restaurants, and The Strand. That's why we insisted on Sunny Beach. A small beach community with an active HOA, Sunny Beach is clean, well maintained, and natural. The many full time residents here take care of each other and always have a friendly wave for our guest. You'll hate to leave as much as we always do.

What makes this house unique

'Beach House' boasts two wonderfully wide, ocean view decks on each level. Spanning the full length of the structure, these decks will beg you to enjoy your coffee outside while watching the sunrise, host an ice cream party for the kids, or step out of the master suite for a glass of wine at sunset. After a fun filled day at the beach, enjoy a tropical indulgence in our outdoor hot/cold shower.

When night falls, it's time to pop the popcorn, snuggle up on the comfy couches, and enjoy a movie or two on our 50' Sony flat screen TV.

I have been to Galveston many times and this was the first time to stay at this property. The owner is incredibly easy to work with and the house is in great shape. The area is very clean and was not crowded on this weekend. It is located close to Moody Gardens and going into town to eat was easy. I highly recommend this home for your beach vacation!
Owner's Response: I am happy you enjoyed our beach house and it's convenient location to shopping and restaurants. Sunny Beach is a great place for families to relax and enjoy the ocean. I appreciate all the compliments and hope to see you again next time you visit the island.
Thank you

Excellent Spring Break

5 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The rental was everything it said it was in the description. The Agent/Landlord (Gaard) was extremely nice and made himself available when we had any questions. My favorite part was getting my deposit back after our stay without having to ask for it. I hate when most Agents just keep your deposit and make up excuses to squeeze you for a few dollars. Nice to know that we where appreciated as tenants and for respecting the property.


Thanks Gaard, We will be in touch for our Summer Trip!
Owner's Response: Thank you for the compliments. I am happy you had a great Spring break vacation and looking forward to seeing you this summer.
