We had a wonderful weekend stay at this beautiful beach house! The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family trip. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach with amazing views and peaceful surroundings.The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we felt right at home from start to finish. We especially appreciated the little touches around the house that made our stay even more comfortable.This was the perfect spot to unwind, spend quality time with family, and enjoy the beach. We would definitely book again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Perfect little beach house!

We just got back from staying here and loved our time. Amy was such a great host and had excellent communication before and throughout our stay. The house was exactly as the pictures showed and the pink exterior made it extra fun. We woke up every morning and enjoyed coffee on the patio with a great view of the ocean. We will definitely be back next year. Thanks again for the great stay!!

This house is fantastic

The house is in a great location, just two houses away from the seaside. It's very convenient to walk to the beach, and you can see the sea from the terrace.The interior of the house has a fresh and modern decor. The amenities are comprehensive, with brand new appliances and a well-equipped kitchen that makes it very convenient to use. I really like it here, and I will definitely consider staying here again the next time I visit.

Perfect Escape

This house is well appointed and inviting. Rosie’s is in fact the perfect beach retreat! The views are exceptional and the water only steps away. This expanse of beach is ideal and we walked miles of it! We also spent many hours on the top deck enjoying the ocean and sunsets. Absolutely gorgeous!We traveled with our adult daughter, but the house is also ideal for families with children. Ample cookware provided for meals at home. The Keurig coffee machine was perfect as were all other appliances. The bedrooms are fun and beach themed. Loved the bright colors and wallpaper! This house is well cared for and VERY clean!Beds were comfy, linens and bath towels were clean and fluffy, additional tower fans were provided, and an abundance of beach towels made everything easier. So many unexpected and thoughtful touches. The gorgeous kitchen island is the perfect place for eating and visiting as a family when not making the most of the exterior dining table. The house is a quick drive from Galveston proper, the ferry, and local restaurants on the peninsula. We had a great time at the Nauti Beaver Hut and Tia Juanita’s. I can’t say enough about this fabulously pink beach house! The only thing that surpasses our love of the house is our appreciation of the owner. Amy is unbelievably thoughtful and accommodating!We can’t wait to return💖💖💖
