Weekend trip

We love sea isle. House was clean, near and bright. Kitchen had all the basics but is lacking some small appliances most families use on trips. Hot tub and outdoor area were great.

R&R

We had the best time at this precious spot on the bay. Easy beach access and a great dock to fish off of. Finding a place that lets us bring our pups is always hard and this was just perfect - fun for the whole family. An added bonus was the Marina! What a hidden gem. We can't wait to return!

Super nice stay!

My family of four had a great experience at this property. Very clean and beautifully updated. Communication with staff was very easy and the linens were a very high quality! Nothing worse than scratchy sheets and towels!! I highly recommend this property.

Nice, comfy, home away from home

Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome basket. The house was nicely decorated, clean and well maintained. The communication with the management company was top notch. We did not have any issues. The toilet in the bathroom at the end of the hallway needs to be reset as it emits a sewer smell. We opened the window during our stay to help air it out. There were lots of extra curriculars to use: paddle board, kayak, firepit, swing, hot tub. I felt secure letting my 2 year old run around with the security of the fences/gates. I will absolutely rent this house again as long as its available. The management company was excellent to work with. I will always look for houses they host first. Thank you 979 for a memorable vacation and a nice homey place to stay.

Clean and Roomy

My husband and I were here to relax and it was perfect. Plenty of room. Everything is clean. West End Marina has great food. Pariah’s Coffee House is not too far and makes great lattes and pastries. I will recommend this rental to all!

Family spring break

We had a lovely time. The house is perfect. The kids enjoyed catching crabs off the deck. Only thing the house didn’t have was an ironing board and iron.

Great Spot

Lovely spot in Sea Isle. Far enough West that the beaches aren't excessively crowded, but not so far that the rest of Galveston is a long drive to get to. Very clean place with great atmosphere and lots of comfy spots to lounge around on the deck and below. The outdoor shower was very convenient and the hot tub is very roomy. We also really appreciated the number of gates there were, and the doggie treat that was in the welcome basket! Our dog really enjoyed her stay. Honestly, I really have no complaints about the place at all. I will certainly keep this place in mind for my next Galveston trip.
