Cozy home with awesome location!

My husband and I, our son and his wife and our two grandchildren stayed three nights over the 4th of July holiday. It was a great stay and we had a wonderful time. I can’t say enough about the private beach location! Added bonus was Stevie, the owner. She checked on us and was willing to do whatever necessary to ensure we had a great stay!

Great Location needs TLC

The location is amazing, you are literally on the beach. You drive on the beach to get to this location. Although, When we pulled up, we almost left immediately. The main support beams for the structure of the house look like they are rotted and about to collapse at any moment. The outside of the cottage looks in really bad shape. My family stayed in the truck and I went up to inspect the house and make sure it wasn't dangerous. The stairs going up are falling off. After inspecting the structure, we decided to go ahead and stay. To be honest we were a bit worried, our entire stay, about the structural integrity of the house. Once inside, the cottage is very cute. The cottage is decorated very well. Very comfortable and cozy. Kitchen is really well stocked with most everything you would need. There was no can opener, which we purchased from dollar general down the street and left at the cottage for future guest. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The couch could use a steam clean. It feels a little grimy and dirty. We had fun playing board games. We couldn't let our toddler on the porch bc she almost fell through the hand rails. Code for hand rails is 3.5" between rails. These are about 12" apart. Maybe adding an additional board horizontally at the bottom would keep little ones from crawling or stumbling off the edge. The views are amazing, highly recommend a cup of coffee or tea on the patio to watch sun rise.

Doesn’t get any better in Galveston

Hands down the best experience we’ve had on the island. We’ve come as a family 2-3 times a year for the last 20 years and this beach house made for one of the most fantastic trips ever. Great host, amazing location, picture perfect views.

great weekend trip. perfect location. the only thing i would recommend to the owner is to make the location of the lockbox a little clearer. we did find it, but it took 5-10 minutes or so. maybe even text a picture of the lockbox location to future renters.

Perfect getaway!

This house is amazing - clean, pretty and fully stocked with anything a guest may need. It has amazing view of the gulf. The house is all glass on the front which meant each bedroom has a gulf view. Bermuda beach is a great location. Close to town, but not in town. The owner was in contact throughout the stay and certainly there for us had we needed her. I am going to go back next year and I highly recommend this property!

Great getaway cottage in an awesome location

This is one of the best equipped vacation homes we've stayed in. It's very comfortable, cute, and the beach is literally at your door. It's an older property (it survived Hurricane Ike) but don't judge a book by its cover. When you are on the deck enjoying the waves crashing feet away from you, or sauteing fresh shrimp in the well equipped kitchen, or lounging on the sofa enjoying the view, it's all good. Excellent hosts and easy departure We'll definitely return. Thinking same time next year. Close enough We will return.
