Perfect Place on Periwinkle

We had plenty of room for our family in this wonderfully decorated, perfectly placed house near the beach. The pictures don’t do it justice, the house is beautiful. The ocean views from the decks were tremendous and the owners provided beach stuff with a wagon for easy hauling. The host was always available for questions and provided detailed information which made planning easy. We will definitely stay there again! Thank you for making our birthday event memorable!

Great location

Overall wonderful place and location! A couple of minor things: Cleaning the microwave and refrigerator could have been better. The toilet seat in the Master bathroom was loose. We could not get one of the garage doors to open. The grill was aged and choose to buy another one and left it for the next guest. These are all minor things just fyi. Would we stay again? Absolutely Also the beautiful fresh flowers and snacks were a very nice touch. Thank you!

Great house and location

Our group of 9 all really enjoyed staying at the house. The house layout worked well for our group and the kitchen and family room area was good for cooking and hanging out. The beach is a very very short walk away. The owner was always quick to reply to questions. You can tell they take pride in the property and think of the details to make the stay more enjoyable for guests. We’ll definitely look to stay here next time we’re back in the area.

This home is everything it says it is in the description and more. We had my wife and I and six young adults. Everyone had plenty of space and the main living area is awesome - very open with lots of places to sit, hang out and play games. Large decks with comfortable seating. All the things you need for the beach, pop up tent for shade, wagon to haul things, boogie boards, plenty of chairs, beach towels etc. Would highly recommend this beach house!!

Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

We stayed at this property with two families including 5 kids under 10 and it was lovely. The house was very well equipped and clean and there was plenty of space for everyone without ever feeling crowded. The outdoor seating areas were particular impressive, with balconies off almost every room with views of the ocean. Proximity to the beach made hauling our crew easy. Hands down our favorite Galveston rental to date and we hope to return soon.
