Beautiful Cozy House! Great location!

We had a wonderful getaway in this beautiful house. It was exactly as described in the listing and had a cozy feel. It was the perfect size for our family. It is so close to the beach, which our kids loved! Thank you for letting us stay in your home, we would love to stay here again!

Beautiful home right by the beach

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the seaside heights home. The decor was beautiful inside and out. You can see the beach from the patio and listen to the waves at night. Then it’s just a short walk to the beach. We’ll definitely be back!

Great family weekend!

We brought our four young kids for a cheerleading competition at Moody Gardens. The house is beautifully renovated and had everything we needed. It is a very short and safe walk to the beach. Our kids slept great in the comfortable beds and loved playing at the beach all day. We had a great experience and would love to come back to this house for another family weekend soon! Thank you for having us!

Great Place to stay

We had a wonderful time.. The house was clean and very well equipped. The wagon and beach umbrella / chairs were great to have and a definite plus. The homeowner was extremely responsive and helpful all the way through process which I very much appreciated. Overall we had a great time!

Great House

What a nice home! Perfect for families - good layout and the best decorated home we've stayed in the Galveston area. We are a family of 4 and it fit our needs perfectly. The home really feels like the owners use it personally - it's very well taken care of. Great floor plan and great decks/furnishings outside. Really takes advantage of the home's orientation to the beach.

What a gem!

Located soooo close to the beach on a quiet street. The kitchen is appointed with more quality and useful items (knives, spatulas, silver, bowls, etc) than any rental we’ve ever used. Great space for eating and cooking. A/C is excellent. Beds are really comfortable. Downstairs patio is really nice and has great air flow because of the angle the hose is set. Great view of the water from the expansive deck. Hosts are very quick with communicating. We hope to be back!

A great get away!

From the moment you drive in, you can almost feel your body relax. The home is tucked away on a cul de sac and is truly beautiful. The set up is perfect for families or friends looking for a time to spend some quality time together. There are so many places to sit outside with views that can't be beat. The home welcomes conversation with a great open concept living room/dining room/kitchen. The beds were so comfy and when you close the door you can cannot hear what is going on in the living space. I loved having the shower downstairs to wash off after the beach as well! The home is located so close to a private part of the beach. It was so nice to be able to spend as short or as long at the beach as we wanted since we were so close! This get away was such an amazing time and a lot of that was due to this wonderful house! Can't wait to be able to come back again next year!

Left Home Early to Move to Hotel

The day prior to our stay I was notified the refrigerator wasn’t working that is would be repaired the day of our arrival or the day after. It wasn’t ideal but we decided it would work. The owners allowed us to us their personal one in the garage. This worked okay except for the rain and having to enter in and out in it to get stuff from the refrigerator. The repair service was set to come on Friday at 9 (our only free day from dance competition). They came around 11 and it took about an hour to fix the refrigerator. With about half of our free day wasted sitting in a rental property the owners agreed to credit us $300 for the inconvenience. Used washer for wash new wash cloths purchased and dirty towels and there were wet towels in the dryer. I finished drying those and set them on the wod of sheets left to the dryer on the bed. Throw blankets in family dirty, one smelt like a wet dog the other had chunks of dark stuff all over it - I had my husband bring some from our home since these were not clean. After the refrigerator started working it had a strong odor of fish and we threw all of our stuff out. Mold around shower in master bathroom and globs of hair was left on the shower wall I had to remove prior to showering I sent all of this to the owners with no response. We had to pay for a professional cleaning service and what we got was terrible. We checked out a day early because we couldn’t take the funk anymore and moved to a hotel.

Perfect Galveston Retreat

This home was better than it even shows! The pictures are beautiful on VRBO and it's just as beautifully in person as it looks. But what you can't see is how cozy and well the home flows . The furniture is all super cozy, not just beautiful. The beds are very comfortable, several kinds of pillows to mix around with if you prefer soft or firm. And the living room is room furniture is really comfortable as well. There is a TV in the living room, bunk bed room and master. We had a pretty rainy trip and didn't mind one bit because the house was so great to be in. The home is very well stocked (towels, bed linens, cleaning supplies, and fully stocked kitchen) and the owners give you a great packing list of what you might need more of. Also, not easily seen through pictures is how close you are to the beach. For views: this house is four homes back, but the way the cul-de-sac is structured, you have clear and open views of the beach from the deck. This was my favorite night time hangout. And the beach is such a short walk (just walk past 3 houses and your feet are in sand). The other amazing thing about this area is the beach wasn't crowded with the public, or even locals. And the beach was very clean-- seaweed pushed back and trashcans available. The neighborhood is very clean and well kept and there's even a small deli & market at the front of the neighborhood to grab any thing forgotten. We felt incredibly safe the entire time. I saw the previous comment about the stove, there are only 2 burners and then there's a grill on the stove. So I'd plan meals accordingly. It was not an issue for us, but we didn't plan elaborate meals that required more than 2 burners. The oven is regular size, there's a microwave and an outdoor grill, so plenty of cooking options. The refrigerator is a good size and held all our food for our family of 6 for a week, and we cooked all meals in. HIGHLY recommend this home!

Nice place for weekend getaway

This is a very nice place with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen which made cooking pretty easy. It also has fantastic access to the beach. One should note that there is no access to a washer and dryer which we didn't realize until we got there (totally my oversight because we have never stayed in a house without access). As a mom of 3 (2 of which are boys), this is pretty high on my list of necessities....so that being said...I think this is a great place for short stays but if staying for a week would have to find a place with laundry facilities.

Family Vacation

Our two grown children and their spouses joined us for a long weekend to celebrate birthdays and our anniversary. The location close to the beach and views from the deck were very nice. We enjoyed eating dinner outside on most evenings. We have many great memories of our visit.
