The hosts are wonderful, kind, and responsive. They really put a lot of love into this property to make it a true home away from home. While the downtown area can be crowded, this is in a quiet neighborhood with a private beach feel. There are miles and miles of beautiful shoreline literally only a minute's walk away. At its busiest, we saw about 15 other people on the beach at any given time. But, if you want night life - a short 20-30 minute drive down the seawall will take you to all of the hot spots downtown.Unlike other properties we've stayed at, they provided hotel-style shampoo, conditioner, makeup wipes, soap, and more. Every amenity one could need is provided. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay will be comfortable. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

The house had everything we needed. It was in a great location and very peaceful. Easy walk to the beach and the gated deck was perfect for having our dog outside to “people and dog watch“. Perfect location if you’re looking for a relaxing place away from the typical tourist traps. We will definitely be back!

Everything was amazing. We go to Galveston every year and the whole family agreed this was 100% the best place we have stayed by far. Easy access to the beach. In a place that’s not too crowded, and the place was nice.

Galveston getaway

The house was clean and just a short walk to the beach. The downstairs shower area was great after playing on the beach, and we were sure appreciative of all the beach items (boogie boards, wagon, chairs, umbrella, etc). We were somewhat disappointed that the grill mentioned was a small George Foreman and we couldn’t even use it outside on the upper deck because none of the outlets would work for us. We also had some issues with the dish washer, but not a big deal. Otherwise the house came stocked with pretty much all basic necessities to cook/shower/clean with. Check-in was easy enough with clear directions. We loved the location and the cleanliness of the beach as well. The drive to all of the main Galveston attractions was reasonable.

We had a great week staying here, before we even arrived, we recieved a message saying the house was ready a few hours early, we had a few questions and the owner answered immediately. The house is in a quiet little neighborhood that is great for morning and evening walks. There was a wagon to use to take things down to the beach. House came fully stocked with everything you would need to cook, just bring your food and drink. The house was perfectly clean and everything was in great shape. We would definitely stay here again.

Really nice house!

We just returned from a 3 night stay with our grandchildren. The house accommodated us perfectly. The king size bed in the master was comfy. The kids utilized the bunk beds in the second bedroom, along with the sofa bed and the rollaway bed, so we took advantage of all the bed options! Everyone slept comfortably. The house is well stocked. We cooked and ate every meal in the house. The downstairs outside shower was well used. In fact, the kids never once took a bath or shower upstairs. As we left the beach every morning and evening, we ran them through the outside shower, then sent them up wrapped in a towel to get dressed. The beach was a short walk and never crowded. The home owner was great with communication and check in/check out was a simple process. We will definitely try to book this house again next time we feel brave and energetic enough to take 4 kiddos on a beach vacation. We all had a fantastic time!

Great Weekend Retreat

Just stayed here for the weekend and had a great weekend. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed to enjoy ourselves. The location is outstanding as it is very close to the beach and didn't require us to walk across any major roads. This was very helpful since we had two of our grandsons with us. We will visit again!
