About this property

This perfect little beach getaway will take the stress out of your day and have you heading home relaxed! The home was rebuilt from the studs and has everything need; comfortable furnishings, large covered porch, open kitchen and cool breezes.

I have four children and when I am at the beach I want our stay to be as low maintenance and stress-free as possible. This house has everything you need: laminate floors, well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher, outdoor shower (with hot water) and wi-fi! Bring your bathing suits and sunscreen!

The location is ideal! The house is on the third row, so it is a short stroll to the water. Bermuda Beach is only 10 miles from the Strand, so shopping and restaurants are close by!

Perfect spot close to the beach

This was the perfect place for our little family. All the amenities and quick little walk to the beach. Quick drive to everything we wanted to do. Super helpful check in communication. No problems whatsoever.

Nice Stay

A needed get-a-way in the perfect spot. The only drawback was the threat of Alberto made me nervous and left 4 hours early which I regretted because nothing happened until a couple days later. Otherwise the place was a good find at the last minute. Much needed retreat and definitely recommend as long as the property continues to be maintained. Great location. Clean and modern. Quiet. Easy to book.

Wonderful house

We stayed for an our annual summer vacation. We love the location at Bermuda Beach (ever stayed at this beach for the past 3 summers), it is a quiet neighborhood with phenomenal access to the beach - 3 min walk. The house was cleaned and is full stocked with pots, pans and utensils, just need paper goods (plates, napkins, paper towels) and has towels for the shower and the beach, and a working washer and dryer. There is a grill under the porch, but it looks pretty battered from wind and usage (doesn’t look like it is cleaned often) and a deck box with some beach toys, boogie boards and other beach staples (just check some of the stuff is broken, which is why it was left, if you want to use). The couch and beds were comfortable and showers had ample space to not feel cramped and the porch was great, a total unobstructed view of the ocean from the 3rd row (because the plot in front is empty) We would definitely stay here again if the kids want to visit Galveston again.

Great Stay

My family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. We have a 6, 4 & 3 yo and the house was perfect for us. Location really is so close to the beach— very easy walk (and no long walk over sand dunes like many other areas), & also a short drive to the seawall to venture out for activities and dinner. Would definitely stay here again

Perfect House and Perfect Location!

Absolutely perfect for our family of 4! The location is a quick 2-minute walk from the beach and is a short drive to all of the Galveston attractions. The house has a great porch with ocean views and the outdoor shower is perfect for washing off after the beach. Note: there is no gate on the exterior stairs so if you have little ones like us, you may need be extra cautious on the deck.

Beach Getaway

This house was perfect for our little family. We watched the most beautiful sunrise from the front porch, walked right down it the semi-private beach multiple times, and even had an ice cream truck roll through. The location is phenomenal. The house is equipped with everything you might need and was perfectly clean when we got there. We would definitely stay here again!

Loved the view and open family room and kitchen.

I kept looking for a welcoming book to answer questions about operating TV and Wi-Fi etc. But never found one. Had to contact host each time and that was just inconvenient. Just gave up on the TV. Always appreciate that book that the host provides. It makes everything easier.

Great Family Getaway!

This was such a sweet place that met all of our family’s needs. Not only was the house fully equipped and comfortable, the beach was a tiny walk away! It was a quiet, calm beach that most days we had all to ourselves. The kids are already asking when we can come back again.

Super location , super clean apartment

The house was very clean, very close to the beach (this section was never crowded, even on weekends few people). Furnishings, bathrooms and kitchen were apparently completely renovated, very good kitchen equipment with everything you need. The house is small but nice. We felt very comfortable in it (parents with 13 year old son). A small minus point was the completely dirty barbecue grill under the house, beach trolley and chairs still with garbage from other tenants, the beach utensils (surfboards, chairs and umbrella) almost all broken. So we just bought a new grill ourselves, assembled it, used it twice and then left it perfectly clean for the cleaning staff.

Grandkids first beach trip

We loved this house and will definitely stay here again. It is a very short walk to the beach (maybe half a block). It was clean. The beds were comfortable. The A/C will freeze you out, which is great after a day at the beach. Perfect size for the four of us. I highly recommend this property.

Final Summer Vacation

One final weekend family trip of the summer. The host (Lindsay) was easy to work with and very responsive. The beach cottage was cozy, clean and just right for out getaway. The beach was visible from the porch and was a short walk away (~2 minutes). We appreciated the chairs and toys/games that were also available.

We had an amazing trip to Galveston. House is just as described and soooo close to the beach! I will say that I am glad we had our own chairs because the ones there are old and rusted. All in all we had an amazing time!

Relaxing Getaway

I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The kitchen is well equipped, there are plenty of beach towels available. Also downstairs they had some beach chairs along with boogie boards, and a wagon for your three minute walk to the beach my family and I really enjoyed just hanging out on the front porch and enjoying our evening strolls. Lindsay was very helpful and just a phone call away. I I look forward to coming back to this house in a couple of years.

Family plus some friends

We had a great time! It was myself, my husband, our two teenagers and two of their friends. Check in/Check out could not have been easier. The property owner was extremely responsive. The bunk room was perfect for the four teens. One of the kids brought their X-Box and having a tv in that room was very helpful. We never ran out of hot water, the AC worked without fail and the rooms were insulated well enough that when the kids were loud, my husband and I could watch a movie in the master bedroom. Having the buggy to take supplies to the beach was super helpful even though it was just a short walk. We Instacart-ed groceries... the only thing that would have been helpful is if the kitchen was stocked with basic seasonings. But if that is the ONLY complaint we are doing great! We had an amazing experience... would defiantly return!

Perfect spot in Galveston!

This is the perfect spot to stay in Galveston. Close to a private beach but not too far from restaurants and activities along Seawall Blvd. The house was spotless and the owners have thought of everything you need (kitchen items, beach stuff, comfy couches for movie night, etc). It is technically on the third row but you have a clear view of the ocean because of empty lots (as of June 2023). The porch is the perfect place to enjoy an early coffee or a late glass of wine. The walk to the beach is very short and easy. The beach was not crowded at all. Very quiet and relaxing. We can’t wait to go back!
