Relaxing and Beautiful Stay!

The beach house was clean, well-stocked, and beautifully maintained. The hosts were responsive and gave great local restaurant recommendations. The beach was quiet, uncrowded, and just a short walk away—plus, having beach gear provided made things super easy. Beds were very comfy too. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

I went with a group of girls, we’re all friends from camp. Almost everybody said they wanted to come back and rent the house again with their own families. It was incredibly well stopped, the hosts are amazing and it was absolutely darling. Could not have asked for more!

great weekend getaway

This was our second year for a weekend getaway at this home. It's perfectly located for water views, sea breezes and far enough from the highway as to not hear the road noise. It's on the best quiet walkable only beach. They have all sorts of beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc. for guests to use. They also provide an assortment of craft supplies for the littles to use. We had a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful

This was a great beach house. It was very comfortable, well furnished and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach and beautiful views from the decks. There were six of our family members and we had a great time. We were all in our 70’s and the only complaint was the outside stairway! It got easier as the week went on. Highly recommend.

Great location with close beach access. The house was very well stocked with almost everything you could think of. All of the family was amazed at how nice everything was. We had a great stay!Note to host: The kitchen faucet has developed a leak and the front lockbox really needs some WD40!

Great spot for a family vacation

This is a great house located next to our favorite beach in Galveston. This house is quiet since it’s far away from the main road and access to the beach is easy. We enjoyed our time here and appreciated the well stocked kitchen and comfortable deck furniture. We would stay here again.

Motorcycle Rally 2024

We’re here in Galveston for the Motorcycle Rally. Every year we come to Galveston to participate and enjoy ourselves with the Bike Life community. As always safety is very important and rather than riding back and forth to Houston we trailer our bikes. The Beach house only makes our stay more enjoyable.
