Ocean’s Gem was a gem indeed.

Ocean’s Gem lived up to its name.  And is just steps from the private beach with no cars driving on it.  We rent a beach house in Galveston every other year. Our kids and grand kids have decided this is our house from now on.  The layout is great, the kitchen is roomy to cook, the beds are comfy.  Ocean’s Gem was clean and comfortable, and we were not ready for our week to end. The only thing that would’ve made it better would be if the deck had a cover to allow more time sitting, reading, and watching the waves and the children playing in the water.  We plan to be back in 2027!!

Excellent property, very accommodating ocean front beach house.

Definitely would recommend this house with very tasteful upgrades. We will be back!

Good place for a family celebration

Beryl blew enough sand up to the house that we had to park on the roadway and walk a bit with our things. Debris on the beach was likely due to Beryl as well. House was nicely laid out w a bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. Fans,and conditioning worked well. Great location!! No idea what the port key was for.

Right on the beach

We really loved this house! Being right on the beach was exactly what we wanted. The living room was comfy for the times we just wanted to chill in front of the TV. Our younger daughters loved the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen was the perfect size and functionality. The only drawback for us was the master bedroom upstairs didn't cool as we would have liked. If the king and queen rooms were switched that would be more preferable for us. We would still consider staying in this house again.

Spring break at the beach

We loved this house that was directly on the beach. The grandkids could freely run to the beach. The deck gave a view of the whole coastline. This was wonderful for a morning break. The house had three bedrooms which worked perfectly for our group. The kitchen was large and we made most of our meals there. We definitely would like to go back.

Retired group of friends from highschool

I did not rate a 5 on the check in as we weren’t given the correct code on the door for check in but a phone call quickly rectified the situation. Had a sink that didn’t drain and someone was sent promptly to fix. Adequate towels for 6 women, beds were comfy but a little short on the toilet paper for 6 women staying 5 days ( we bought more and paper towels as well). Great location and view, house was clean, and pictures were accurate. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

Nice house with limited resources

While this house is nice and front row in Sea Isle, there are some improvements to be made for a better experience while staying here. Cons -It could use a new refrigerator where the door will actually stay closed. We had to put a cooler in front of it our entire stay in order for the door to stay closed and keep our food and drinks cold. Not convenient for large groups staying at this home. -No beach toys accessible to renters - this was a first for us and we have been renting in Galveston for 10+ years. -Bring/buy all the seasonings, foil, plastic wrap and disposable containers as there is nothing left behind here to store leftovers . Again, just a reminder to pack it all if you are going to be cooking. -Slow draining sink in downstairs bath. Pros - The bedrooms are all quite spacious and the upstairs room that sleeps 4 was very comfortable except for the lack of A/C flow. They do have fans in all of the rooms though which I think was very helpful. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the management company quick to respond to messages.
