We enjoyed our stay at this property. We had 7 kids in our group and all had a wonderful time. Proximity to the beach was perfect and the house was a nice size for our group!
The location was the best and the view perfect. The place was very comfortable and modernized. Had everything we needed right where it was needed. Highly reccomend.

Wonderful Views & Beach Access
Such a beautiful beach house with amazing views and easy beach access!
This house was great for our large extended family--fourteen people (the youngest is nine and the oldest are in their seventies) plus a little dog. There was plenty of room and everyone was comfortable. The location was great and beach access was very convenient. Highlights: plenty of pillows and blankets, lots of beach towels, easy parking, smooth check-in/check-out, great views, tons of seating for a large group.
The house was great! The bedrooms were all nicely furnished and plenty of space for us to gather as a group. Location on the beach was wonderful! Communication was excellent.
Property was amazing with so much room, clean and comfortable. Steps away from the waves and beach was quiet and private. Location was still close to shops and attractions. We had a great family get together!

Dream vacation
This is a beautiful property! Balconies are great - watched dolphins play one day! Great location. Close to shopping & restaurants. Steps from your private beach! It's quiet & so relaxing...we definitely plan to return!
Loved the location in relation to getting into Galveston. The house was spacious and well equipped to handle a larger group. Would recommend for future use.
Wry nice, spacious, and clean beach house! Lots of stairs, so be ready for your workout, but worth it when you get up to that view from the living room. Could not get in with the code I was sent, but the host was quick to fix the problem. Definitely recommend this property.
Lovely Beach house, excellent location. Plenty of beds and spacious, open living area.However, several bedroom outlets were not working as well as several televisions. Overall, very pleased with the home and would definitely stay there again.

8 Mile Beach front Home
This house was really great. Closest to town regarding beachfront homes in Galveston. We had 11 people and everyone was comfortable. First rental home we have ever stayed in that the AC worked properly. We will rent again.

Great house for beach location and larger parties
The beach was private and amazingly close to the house! The 2 bedrooms with balcony access are King (with en suite) and queen. Another queen in just next to these other two bedrooms and bunk bed room is on same level. Final bedroom is on Kitchen level and is King.
Awesome location. Great house for fam to enjoy vacay at beach. Direct beach access. No vehicle traffic allowed on beach made for a nice environment. Only caveat is downstairs bathroom tile is very slippery when wet. I would think owner may want change this for liability purposes.

Enjoyed and wanted to stay longer
Loved the views and open floor mat and bedroom layout. Had some real squeaky beds and a bad moldy smell and bedrooms were tight because of bulky furniture. But we did love the balconies and all the seating and parking availability. Having the private beach was so nice but watch out for all the jelly fish!
5/5 for the house, very clean, plenty of towels, right on the beach. 4/5 for the water. It was lukewarm for the majority of the stay. Informed the people in charge through VRBO. Each time someone different responded. Nothing was done with the water. Last night took an icy cold shower. Other than that our stay was very nice.

Not as expected
Location was good. But if raining, forget sitting anywhere outside
This house is great for a family vacation. We had 6 adults. Everyone got there one room and it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Fantastic decks. Great for enjoying the ocean breezes and the local birds. The private beach was wonderful. Just a few steps from the back of the house. Lots of supplies and well cleaned.

Great Location, well stocked and Responsiveness to issues
The location could not be better and accommodations were lovely. We had an issue with water heater and microwave on Christmas Eve. However, there was a service team at the property within an hour or so of my phone call with a new microwave and a solution to the water heater. surprisingly excellent service. We would stay again.
