Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful home, great location and very helpful communication. We stayed after hurricane beryl, and got constant updates on what was happening with the home and in the area so we knew what to expect upon arrival. I would highly recommend both this place, and any place Camyll takes care of!

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful. Very clean. Host had a basket of snacks for us as well as a 4th of July cake, which was so thoughtful. Multiple porches to hang out and read or just enjoy the outside. Very easy short walk to beach!

Great house and location

Our group of 9 all really enjoyed staying at the house. The house layout worked well for our group and the kitchen and family room area was good for cooking and hanging out. The beach is a very very short walk away. The owner was always quick to reply to questions. You can tell they take pride in the property and think of the details to make the stay more enjoyable for guests. We’ll definitely look to stay here next time we’re back in the area.

Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

We stayed at this property with two families including 5 kids under 10 and it was lovely. The house was very well equipped and clean and there was plenty of space for everyone without ever feeling crowded. The outdoor seating areas were particular impressive, with balconies off almost every room with views of the ocean. Proximity to the beach made hauling our crew easy. Hands down our favorite Galveston rental to date and we hope to return soon.

Family Vaca 2023

This home is everything it says it is in the description and more. We had my wife and I and six young adults. Everyone had plenty of space and the main living area is awesome - very open with lots of places to sit, hang out and play games. Large decks with comfortable seating. All the things you need for the beach, pop up tent for shade, wagon to haul things, boogie boards, plenty of chairs, beach towels etc. Would highly recommend this beach house!!

Great location

Overall wonderful place and location! A couple of minor things: Cleaning the microwave and refrigerator could have been better. The toilet seat in the Master bathroom was loose. We could not get one of the garage doors to open. The grill was aged and choose to buy another one and left it for the next guest. These are all minor things just fyi. Would we stay again? Absolutely Also the beautiful fresh flowers and snacks were a very nice touch. Thank you!
