Lovely home and kitchen!
My family and I had a great time while staying here. There was an unfortunate tropical storm that derailed our specific plans, but we were glad to have such a nice kitchen and area to spend extra time in. There were a ton of board games (for kids and adults), toys, and books for little kids available. Plenty of towels etc. The kitchen was very well stocked with items and we were able to cook multiple full meals. The elevator was very helpful and worked well. I would recommend this place and would stay again!

Absolutely beautiful home. The layout & flow of the house was everything we didn’t know we wanted! Accommodating to us and my MIL that is elderly with dementia. She lived the house and the location and she, along with my husband and I, was not ready to leave and we are already talking about booking our next trip. We will definitely try to book this house again!

Wonderful experience!
This trip was outstanding! The property was exactly as described. It was in great shape in every way, and everyone from 6 to 86 was perfectly comfortable. Loved that we could all be together, but also take moments out to have some quiet away from the family chaos. Soooo many places to chill - front deck, back deck, entertaining space under the house. We never felt like we were on top of one another, and there were eight of us. Plenty of space for all kinds of activities, and a great kitchen, big enough for all of us to be buzzing around in that space without fights breaking out. LOL Communication with the hosts was exceptional, and they were very generous with their time and their property. Hated to leave!

Beach stay
We were happy with house. I liked the layout however the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Kitchen floor was sticky, food/drink splatters on the wall, dust bunnies everywhere, empty coke bottles under the beds, stains on the sheets etc.

This rental has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Kitchen is fully stocked to serve a large group. Toys and games for toddlers and bigger kids as well as adult games. The entire peninsula had a power outage while here and the owners were in contact with us on repair times. There were even lanterns available in the closet that saved the day! Definitely recommend!

Eight is Enough :)
We had a great time with our adult children at this property. Sufficient room for 8 of us! Loved the open floor plan so that we were all in one room. Very clean property.
Beach access was close enough to walk to for a morning or evening walk. Driving down to the beach was really nice for toting all of our tents, chairs and games.
Would definitely recommend and will contact owner for our next Galveston stay as the check in/out process was super easy.

Sandy Feet was a great location. The area was quiet and the house was GREAT. The lift was a lifesaver for me and my disabled daughter in law. The house had all the essentials needed. The game closet was enjoyed by us all.
