Ocean’s 16Eleven – Accessible Beach Retreat in Galveston, Texas

Galveston, Texas, United States of America
Wheelchair accessible beach house in Galveston with step-free ramp and garage.

Sleeps up to 8 guests.

Pet-friendly.

Parking.

Just 200 steps from the sand, Ocean’s 16Eleven blends beachside charm with true accessibility. Originally designed for a wheelchair user, this single-level, step-free home makes coastal living easy for everyone — from wheelchair and walker users to families with strollers or curious toddlers.

Please note: the property does not have a roll-in shower, but does have a shower seat positioned over a bathtub for those that can transfer. 

A gently sloped concrete ramp leads from the driveway to the porch, giving seamless access into the house. Inside, all doorways are at least 36 inches wide, and both bathrooms feature fixed grab bars and a shower seat/transfer bench. Every room, from the bedrooms to the dining area, has verified step-free access and doorways wider than 32 inches, reviewed by Airbnb for accuracy.

An open-concept dining space with light blue walls and wood-plank flooring. A rectangular table is covered in a colorful starfish-patterned tablecloth and surrounded by four wooden chairs. In the background, a breakfast bar separates the dining area from a kitchen with bright yellow cabinets.
A functional kitchen featuring bold, sunny-yellow cabinetry and light-colored countertops. It includes white appliances: a microwave, a stove/oven, and a dishwasher. A breakfast bar looks out toward the living area.

The spacious layout comfortably sleeps up to eight adults (or a mix of adults and kids).

 

  • Primary bedroom: King bed, en-suite bath, and an adjoining office with high-speed internet and an external monitor — ideal for remote workers.

  • Second bedroom: Queen bed with wide entry and plush carpeting.

  • Third bedroom: Full bed plus twin bunk — perfect for kids or extended family.

  • Living room: Sleeper sofa, smart TV with streaming services, and plenty of games and books.

A fully equipped kitchen comes stocked with cookware, coffee makers, spices, and a dishwasher. There’s also an in-unit washer and dryer, a fenced yard for pets, and beach gear (wagon, umbrella, chairs, toys) ready for use.

 

Thoughtful Family Touches

Traveling with little ones? You’ll find a mini-crib, toddler cot, baby gates, dinnerware, toys, and even a baby monitor already waiting.

A cozy living area featuring a light blue L-shaped sectional sofa adorned with various blue patterned throw pillows. A vibrant area rug with a large starfish design sits on the wood floor. A teal-colored wooden cabinet sits under a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV.
A wide-angle view from the front door looking into the living and dining areas. The space is bright and airy with light blue walls, high ceilings, and consistent wood-plank flooring throughout.
