A definite 5 stars all around! The Gulf Haven home was perfect for our family of 7 (6 adults, 1 child). It is minutes to the beach, The Strand, Schlitterbahn Water Park, the Seawall, Pleasure Pier, and tons of restaurants.The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a 3rd bathroom downstairs by the pool. The small house has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and a cowboy hot tub outside. We rented both houses and had access to both the pool and hot tub.Both houses were immaculate! The main house has Viking kitchen appliances and a fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, utensils, etc.) for preparing meals. The beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of room to be together in the front room. Andy, our host, was so nice and easy to work with. He responded quickly to any questions we sent him by text. If we vacation in Galveston again, we will be staying at Gulf Haven!

Peaceful oasis

Andy was great! A Dream Stay at Galveston Haven!Our recent stay at Galveston Haven was absolutely perfect in every way imaginable! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were captivated by the charming decor, the pristine cleanliness, and the overwhelming sense of comfort.The house itself is a true gem. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and the kitchen was wonderfully equipped with everything we needed to prepare delicious meals.Galveston Haven is at the top of my list for places to stay when in the area.

Great family vacation spot

We had a large group and the two houses were great. Super clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was awesome. We spent a lot of time at the pool and on The patio watching tv, playing games and eating. The host was very responsive and helpful. Walking distance to the beach I would stay here again. I highly recommend this house.

AWESOME PROPERTY!

Property was clean, spacious and updated, we had 6 adults, 2 children and there was room for more. Upscale laundry and kitchen appliances including a very large refrigerator and any small appliance needed. Covered outdoor grilling area has gas grill, TV, sink, plenty of seating and a full bathroom. Neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance to public and private beach access. Plenty of blankets and bath towels provided, bathrooms have complimentary hair care, body wash and hand soap. Very comfortable beds and furniture, including a large sleeper sofa. Andy was quickly responsive to any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone!

Perfect Start to the New Year

Our stay at Andy's property was nothing short of spectacular, making our New Year's celebration truly memorable. Right from the start, Andy was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our diverse group, ranging in age from 1 to 86, felt comfortable and well-cared for. Every necessity was within reach, making our stay both convenient and enjoyable. The attention to detail in the amenities provided made it feel like a home away from home. The heated pool was undoubtedly the highlight for our group, especially the kids, who spent most of their time there. It was perfectly heated to 90 degrees, ideal for the cooler winter days. The beds were also comfortable and the guest house was the perfect addition for large group. We're already looking forward to returning in the summer. This property is a true gem for anyone looking to host a large group. Andy's exceptional hospitality sets it apart. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable stay.
