Great Location!!

Awesome views. So close to the beach, made it so easy to make trips with all your items you need for the beach. They had everything you need at the house. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed staying there. If I had anything negative to say, was that the bed was a little to firm for my liking. But I would definitely go back.

Steps away from water, comfortable beds, short drive to town. The host were very responsive and accommodating. Lots of fog/haze during our stay with some glimpses of sun sprinkled in. House is located in front of drive-up public beach access, but you can walk a short distance to where no vehicles can come. We enjoyed our visit!

Galveston Beach vacation

This place is a gem - clean, neat, smells good, everything there that we needed and right on the beach! We spent more time on the veranda looking at the ocean and listening to the surf than we did inside the house. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Checkout was detailed and easy. Showers with good water pressure. A Keurig! Comfortable bed. Flashlights for ghost crab hunting! Thoroughly enjoyed our week stay and highly recommend it to everyone.

Just as seen online

This is a beautiful property and looks just the same in person as online. The views of the beach and sunrise are amazing. It is about 1 minute from property to the beach. The beach is kept very clean by Galveston island personnel. The kitchen, bathrooms and laundry are very well stocked. We wanted for nothing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
