Excellent House

Although the bunk beds are not conducive for adult sleeping, there are no complaints with our stay. We extremely enjoyed our stay. The house is conveniently located to the beach, a store and just a short drive to the seawall.

Nice Location

The property was a great location right off the seawall. The pics doesnt do any justice to actually going to the house, it was very homey. We stayed this pass weekend for Lone Star.

Good family vacation

My family and I spend the weekend after Labor day at this house to spend some time away from the daily routine. The house is comfortable and have plenty space for a large family. Kids loved the ocean experience also the house is just within walking distance. We have a good time and we definitely recommend this place.

We had a great time all and all.

We did have a good time there was plenty of room for everyone which was nice. Aswell as a great location. With that being said we felt the price was to high for a property in such disrepair. Master bath had big path of paint peeling from the walls aswell the floor boards aren't even connected to each other properly the railings on the deck are not secure felt if we leaned on them they would fall over ontop of the house having a major ant issue. The host on the other hand where very kind and hospitable over all we might consider this property in the future after some changes are made.

4th of July Vacay

This was our 2nd stay at this house. We really enjoy this house due to it’s location and beach access. It is farther down away from all of the crowds and there beach is just a 5 minute walk and not overly crowded with people. The neighbor hood is nice and quiet as well. Our family had a wonderdul stay!

Family Beach Trip

My family and I wanted to spend the weekend at the beach as our kids love the beach! We wanted to stay in a house instead of a hotel because we were bringing my Mom along with us. The house was perfect for my family of 7! The kids all stayed in the kids room each of the 4 having a bed, my mom had a queen bed, and we had a king bed. The space was perfect! The pictures of the house were exactly what the house looked like. It was in walking distance of the beach which was perfect. We made multiple trips to the beach during out weekend trip. My kids loved being able to walk there at night! I could not of asked for a better place to stay and nicer owner’s to allow us to stay in their home. We are wanting to go back again but stay longer next time!

4th of July family time

We had a family get-together in Galveston with my sisters family for their 40th Anniversary (who stayed at a separate house a couple blocks away). House worked for us (lots of kitchen appliances, utensils, etc, that you don’t normally find at other rentals), walk to the beach was as noted in the notes (of course, we came during the week of the 4th and incurred rain ☔️) - so didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor furniture on the balcony, but did enjoy the use of the grill for the family BBQ’s. Very enjoyable family time!!

Great place!

The location was great and very close to the beach. We rented a golf cart, just to make the commute easier, but it’s easily walkable. The owners were very responsive and had everything we needed. Only criticism was the yard wasn’t mowed, which made the mosquitoes really bad downstairs but other than that, I would highly recommend this place for anyone.
