NEWLY REMODELED OVERSIZED 2nd row beach house sleeps 14+, 75 yards to the water.

Cheaper than beach first row houses, but only 25 yards further from the beach with an almost identical view and feel (no roads to cross, we're on the beach side of the main road). The wind and ocean spray are there. That magical beachy smell of the ocean.... Our roomy, beachy comfortable 2nd row Gulf of Mexico house with full amenities including a kitchen full of utensils and dishes, a full sized washer and dryer, three large bedrooms down and a giant studio/playroom/room-full-of-4-giant-bunkbeds with a full bath upstairs is just 75 yards to the beach on the beach side of San Luis Pass Road. You can listen to the waves all night! The house has a large kitchen table and a newly remodeled open kitchen so everyone can work together to make dinner.

It has great WiFi with smart TV's (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), ceiling fans, standing fans, good a/c in the summer and warm toasty heating in the winter upstairs and down. The beach is wide, clean and not busy and RIGHT THERE! The sand is soft and fluffy. This is a perfect get away spot about 13 miles west of the end of the Seawall. Also has a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, brand new dishwasher, new retro fridge and new oven/stove. We do our best to keep it stocked with dishes and flatware and cookware, salt/peper, cooking spray, coffee and fixins. We've got dish soap and laundry soap and full sized washer/dryer. We've got an ironing board and iron. We stock toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels. It's got smoke alarms, and a blasting hot and cold outdoor shower. Two new beach-side decks (upper and lower), too! You will love it!

Great place.

We had a really good time at this place. It has lots of space and is literally 75 ft from the beach. You can walk between the houses in front of you down the path and be on the beach in 3 minutes. Everything was as described. I definitely recommend this place. Mike is a great host.

Fun family vaca

Home was just as described and there was room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Nice thing was there was plenty of hot water for all 8 of us to have nice showers. Good communication with owners before we got there. It was a nice quick walk to the beach which was wonderful. Washer, dishwasher worked great, clothes dryer not so good which was disclosed in communication. . Outdoor shower was a terrific addition! The beach was sandy and the water was wet, just as we hoped for! All in all we would recommend this rental to anyone and would love to go back! The SUN KISSED FAMILY

Unfortunately the air in the loft was messed up

There were some issues but I contacted the owner and he is willing to make it right. We did stay there despite the ac upstairs not cooling below 76. It was hot. The downstairs ac was great. There was water dripping in one of the bedrooms onto the windowsill which I also informed the owner.

Third Time Stay

We keep returning to this place! We especially enjoy the balcony view and the breezes from the ocean - although it's second row, the ocean is SO close, you have a clear view of the water, you can hear the waves, there's a path to the beach, and it's close to the West End Marina, which has delicious food. That's why we'll be back in about two weeks!

Nice property, needs more attention

Nice location, spacious and comfortable, not so clean though. We found dead roaches on cabinets and floor upon arrival. The dishes were so dirty we had to wash most of them before using. Found mold on the back of some pillows, which shows they had not been touched or moved for a long time. The towels were also so old and worn out. I understand these are issues that could have be solved pretty easily, had the owner inspected the house quickly before our arrival, and my point is a little more attention on the owner's part will go a long way. On a slightly more serious note, the downstairs AC wouldn't get warm - we put it on 72 and waited for a good 30 minutes before turning it off (the room temperature was 65 at that moment). The heater upstairs got warm almost immediately upon turning on.

Great Getaway for some Beach time!!

Had a great two day stay at this rental in Galveston. Loved that we were so close to the beach, and yet near stores if we ran out of anything. Would definitely recommend this rental, had every appliance and gadget you would need in the kitchen, and the beds were very comfortable. Will definitely be back.

Comfortable Stay with Great Views

### Stay Review We recently stayed at this property and had a wonderful time. The large porch with its great view and sound of the gulf/beach was a highlight, complete with plenty of rocking chairs to relax in. The beach itself was fantastic—clean sand, good waves, and decent water quality, though still with that characteristic Galveston brownish hue. The house was well-suited for our larger group, with plenty of beds and three bathrooms. The washer and dryer were very handy during our stay. We appreciated the access to streaming services on the TVs, though the channel selection could be improved, and one of the TV remotes was unfortunately missing. There were a few minor inconveniences: the shower heads were a bit finicky to use, and per the owner’s instructions, the AC couldn't be set lower than 73°F. While this temperature was comfortable during the day, we prefer to sleep in a cooler environment and would have liked to set it to 70°F. We also found a couple of dead cockroaches on the floor, but given that it’s the middle of the summer in Texas, this was somewhat expected. Despite these minor issues, we found it to be a nice property overall and will definitely consider it for future stays.

Hendrix a vacation 2024

It was our second annual vacation to Galveston. We had a great time. The house is right by the beach way walking distance. The house was large enough for our family the showers were great, never ran out of hot water. Kitchen/livingroom was big enough for all of us to enjoy time together. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep in the bedrooms and upstairs bunk area. Plenty of parking, we had 5 vehicles. The only issue we had was the porch area was a little small for us to all hang out together outside, and the grill was very very small in like what the picture had shown. But, overall a very successful family trip.

Great and spacious beach house

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this beach house, which was in a great location, very close to the beach. Easy to check in, plenty of room for people to spread out, and very communicative host. A few notes: -Sea Isle is about 20 miles from the main part of Galveston so do most of your grocery shopping as you roll into town to minimize how often you need to go into town. -There aren’t too many restaurants in the immediate vicinity so be prepared for that. However, there were two FANTASTIC food trucks literally across the street! One Mexican food and one with burgers and sandwiches. -dog friendly! And my fur pup throughly enjoyed the stay. There’s an outdoor shower that made bathing him after beach days easy. -if it rains, prepare for the area under the carport to flood a little. It drains off quickly enough though. We would definitely rent here again!

Many family celebrations

In one weekend, we celebrated our son's birthday, our daughter-in-law's birthday, Mother's Day, and the gender reveal of our newest granddaughter. Location and this home were perfect for our needs. Everything listed on the property description was accurate, if maybe a bit more "well-used" than expected. We found everything we needed right at home to make this a great weekend. The layout of the house number of bathrooms, well-working AC, and all the other amenities made it a very easy peaceful weekend. In the location, simple, easy walk to the beach with no vehicle traffic was excellent! A great value and a great place to stay. Thanks!

Filthy

Upon arrival we did a walk through to find a completely filthy house. The kitchen had mouse turds in several cabinets and we saw roaches as well. The cookware was substandard. There was only 1 partial roll of toilet paper, in the upstairs bathroom for 3 bathrooms. The floor fans were discusting. The pillows and beds were also filthy. The broom had lots of dirt and hair hanging off it. The grass was about three weeks overdue for mowing and I could not let my grand kids play in it for fear of what might be in it.the upstairs carpet was filthy and needs to be replaced. When it rained we had water come in the upstairs patio door and through one of the bedroom windows. On day 3 we had to throw away a dozen doughnuts we bought that day and other food due to an ant infestation. We had pictures and gave them to the cleaning lady. The owner said he was sending a partial refund but i have not yet received it. I feel it should be a total refund due to complete disrepair and filth. This place is a horrible representation for VRBO i do have pictures but don't see a place to attach them.
