Breathtaking views

My family loved the house and views from the windows looking at the ocean. So peaceful and relaxing. We could not have asked for a better home. It literally had everything you could think of for a great beach experience.

Tranquil Spot in Galveston!

Our family had a wonderful stay!! The house is nicely stocked for cooking and enjoying the beach. The area is very relaxing and family friendly -- the beach was not crowded during our vacation, and was a short walk from the house. Beautiful ocean views and breeze from the deck. A perfect spot to relax and short drive into town.

Beautiful Beach House

I cant say enough great things about this beach house! Its clean, beautifully decorated, & has all the amenities you need. Its very spacious & has the most beautiful back deck to watch the sunset & rise. Its peaceful with an ocean view. The garage is fully stocked with beach chairs, surf boards, & everything else you can think of that you’s need for the beach. The owner is so kind and accommodating & available to answer any questions during your stay. We have stayed here twice & we can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic Stay at Indian Beach with a beautiful residence!

Gigantic deck providing direct views to the beach. Spacious open concept with unobstructed views from the living room/dining room/kitchen. About 60 feet from the driveway is short pathway directly to beach in less than 2 minutes! This gorgeous place is fully stocked! Everything from all the kitchen accouterments, board games, bath linens, the garage has countless toys from paddle boards to shuffle board, The deck has areas wide open to the sun and areas that provide plenty of shade. Two bedrooms and a large shared bathroom on the main floor and a spacious master bedroom with on-suite is located upstairs. Plenty of room to spread out and plenty of reasons to come together. Every morning we witnessed the sun rise over the Gulf and we were lucky enough to enjoy perfect weather during our stay. Driving into Galveston for tourists stuff and or a proper meal only takes about 10-15 minutes - very easy! Check-in and out was a snap. The owners clearly take pride in the Green House and we are ecstatic about our stay. Bring your sunglasses and suntan lotion and expect to have a wonderful time. We shall return to the Green House!

Perfect location

The house is perfectly located near an ocean access point directly across the street. The home was clean with any amenities you’d need. The house layout is perfect for large families- none of the rooms are too close to each other or directly over another room. The house even came with beach toys, tents, etc! We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

Loved the Indian Beach area

The host company was responsive. Owner was very nice. Property was little more dated than I had expected, but the space was a nice size and close to the beach. We loved how quite and beautiful the sky was at night - stars are amazing in the Indian Beach area. Nice family location just 20 minutes away from all the things to do downtown, and just far enough away to enjoy privacy and beach!

Family Vacation

Debbie's beach house is a great location. It's about 12 miles from Galveston. To get to the beach it is a very short walk, takes about 2 mins.. The beach access is literally one house over in front of your house. Debbie has pretty much everything you need for the beach. The kitchen has everything to prepare your meals with. The grandkids enjoyed staying in the kids bunk room. This place is just as nice as the pictures shows. We really enjoyed our stay at Debbie's beach house. Debbie was awesome in answering any questions that I had. Thank you Debbie for making our vacation awesome.

Relaxing Vacation

This rental property was in a great location. It was quiet and within walking distance of the beach. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and clean. We had plenty of room for our family to hangout during the day and sleep at night. The decorations around the house were beautiful, but with a toddler we had to make sure he didn’t break anything. If we decide to go back to Galveston, we would love to stay here again!

Christmas Family Time

This beach house is so welcoming and homey! My family absolutely LOVED staying here! We had so much fun and loved relaxing on the deck that has great views of the beach and ocean. It only takes a couple of minutes, if that to walk to the beach!!! The beach is so nice, no motor vehicles allowed! =) The beds are very comfortable! I was worried but had no problems sleeping. You truly have everything you need here from towels, games, kitchen ware, and beach toys/chairs. You will NOT be disappointed coming here! We will definitely be back!

Green House stay

It was a great property. Very nice area, very close to beach and very nice ocean view. There were some things that could be improved. There was not enough soap to use dish washer, not enough towels to clean tables , trash bags and toilet paper. At least 1 four pack. . It would be nice to have a coffee pot instead of K cups. We brought this amazing coffee and had really looked forward to drinking coffee outside looking at the ocean and were disappointed when not available.

Beautiful Beachouse with all the Amenities!

Due to Covid, we cancelled our planned vacations this year and opted for a staycation instead. We chose this beach house just a few miles down the road from where we live and yet it felt like we were a million miles away. This was the best vacation get away. The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable. The A/C works great and there are gorgeous views from the kitchen, living room and master bedroom. We also enjoyed the gulf breezes out on the deck and it was so easy to walk out to the beach. The owner keeps their garage fully stocked with everything you will need for the beach and it's easy to load up the wagons and take everything to the beach. Our son even used their surfboard to surf for the first time and loved it! In fact, we had such a good time that we have already booked again for a trip in October. We did have one minor issue and the owner was very quick to respond and fix it. I highly recommend staying here!
