The home was very nice and clean. We loved the great view of the ocean. It had everything we needed for our vacation stay. Well stocked Kitchen. We had our two grandkids age 3 and 10 months. The entry door had a safe lock that toddlers cannot unlock . There was plenty of parking for several cars and very close to the beach. It was a great location and I would definitely recommend the home for a family with children!

It was a perfect spot for two friends vacationing with their teenage kids. So close to the beach and yet far enough from the downtown hustle that we felt comfortable allowing our kids to come and go to the beach, even after dark. Havana House is well kept and provisioned. We had a great stay!

Family getaway

We had a great time! The beach house was super clean and cozy! Neighborhood is quiet and the view is great! Love the large porch and very accessible to the beach! So easy with a little toddler, so close to beach that when it was time to nap or done with the heat for her, they could just walk right back up and everyone else could still enjoy the beach! We will stay there again!

Could have been cleaner

House was not cleaned well. White dog hair under the dinning table and human hair in drain of both shower and tub. One slat missing on the upper deck railing. Opening was large enough for a child to fall through. Other than that, the house was very functional and steps from the beach. We really enjoyed our week there.

Havana House is perfect for a family vacation. Everything you need is provided except your swim suit and food! Great view of the ocean just a very short distance away. Bermuda Beach is a wonderful place to vacation. Away from the traffic and crowds of Galveston yet close enough to visit.

Exactly what we needed

I brought 2 kids under 2 and found the property very suited for kids. The furniture is sturdy and there weren't too many decorative elements that needed to be moved to higher surfaces to accommodate crawlers. We had my younger child sleep in a play pen in the living room and my toddler sleep in a bunk. There was a highchair and plastic dishware was available. We did have to move the cleaning supplies from beneath the sink, just for parental peace of mind but we just moved it to the counter and moved it back before we left. My only issue was that the bunk room didn't have a blackout option so my toddler would not nap, but I should have brought my travel blackout window cover. I would rent this place again. 30 second walk to the sandy beach.

Beautiful Beach House

Beautiful home, so well decorated and well supplied! I was sad to see the seaweed on the beach, but that is beyond owners’s control and will recede. We got to see a large sea turtle in the surf - such a thrill!

Great location!

Location of the house is phenomenal. Beautiful views from the living area and steps to the beach. Listing said there were beach chairs available for use, but they were more of a folding camping chair. If I had known that, I would have brought my own beach chairs. Still worked fine, but not what I was expecting. Overall, great experience. Would definitely book again.

Always a great stay at the Havana House

This is our go to rental! Booked 4 times for the Lone Star Rally! We love it here! The distance to Seawall Blvd and the Strand is perfect; great for bikers and vehicles. There is plenty of parking and the view of the beach is stunning! The deck is awesome! Home was very clean which we loved! Contact with Lisa was great! Everything about this rental is wonderful! We will definitely continue with this rental! wonderful!

October Getaway

Enjoyed the view from the porch which was very relaxing. Big, well stocked kitchen, especially the spices. Had Tony Chacheres which we forgot to bring. TV remote in the living room was difficult to use. Bed was comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet except for one night which other renters played loud music until 3 in the morning but other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Great spot right next to beach

Very convenient access to beach, and balcony had a nice unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. Kitchen, laundry, etc. was very well stocked with anything you could think of; plenty of soap, detergent, towels, linens. A/C worked well. Nice location on a quieter part of the island.

Review of Havana House.

Save for the weather (it rained almost every day), the stay was enjoyed by all. When weather did cooperate, the grandkids loved easy access to the beach. House was clean and comfortable, and no problems were encountered (other than the rain). Would definitely stay here again.

Steps to beach

This was the perfect beach house for our family. Lisa was a great host to communicate with and worked through all of the minor kinks after hurricane Beryl tore through Galveston. Everything was clean and easy to use. It was steps to take all of our beach gear to set up on the beach for the day. There are mosquitos everywhere so we did use bug spray often. We highly recommend this place!
