Would absolutely recommend

The property owner was so kind and the quaint but spacious cabin was clean and well stocked! We didn't want to leave but unfortunately, vacations can't last forever. Luckily, the memories we made there will!

Not a Four Bedroom

A true bedroom has a door. The bunk beds have a curtain that separates them from the living room - no door. The current pictures show a bunk bed and a double bed however there are now two sets of bunk beds. Again no door.

great for my family!

My family and I came down for the week and stayed here, it’s pretty close to everything and really quiet neighborhood. I loved the porch and swing and the bedrooms were nice. Only thing you should look out for is when it storms, sometimes the door leaks, but other than that it wasn’t a huge issue and I loved everything else about it.

Fun stay in Galveston, not too far away from Jamaica Beach. However it is about a 20 to 30 minute drive into town But worth the stay if you’re willing to drive

Great house

The house was perfect for our family and friend. The privacy of the downstairs suite was perfect along with the shared family space upstairs. There was a beach access close by, and lots of beach toys to borrow. The outdoor showers were especially convenient after a long day at the beach and we were very happy to see that they even had hot water. Would definitely stay again.

Great house!

I had an awesome time at this rental. I can't say one bad thing about this place. Well, just one thing. The mosquitos. They were HORRIBLE!! But of course, that was no fault of the property owner. Any questions, issues or concerns were responded in a quick manner. I would definitely love to rent this property again. I just wish check in was early in the morning and check out was at least later in the evening so we can enjoy the property longer. But I know that's just the way things are with all rentals.
