This is a great house located next to our favorite beach in Galveston. This house is quiet since it’s far away from the main road and access to the beach is easy. We enjoyed our time here and appreciated the well stocked kitchen and comfortable deck furniture. We would stay here again.
This was our second year for a weekend getaway at this home. It's perfectly located for water views, sea breezes and far enough from the highway as to not hear the road noise. It's on the best quiet walkable only beach. They have all sorts of beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc. for guests to use. They also provide an assortment of craft supplies for the littles to use. We had a wonderful weekend.
We had a wonderful time, in such a lovely home. The decor is top notch and the home accommodated adults and children! Communication with the host was excellent. Would definitely book again.
This was our 3rd stay at the Texas Squire. It’s our favorite home we’ve stayed in. The house is lovely and comfortable and has everything we need. We had the beach to ourselves too!
Everything was perfect. Communication was great. The place was clean, beautiful, and comfortable. The area was quiet and peaceful. The beach was low key, even during spring break. There were plenty of beach supplies for all ages.
Great view of Gulf from porch and short walk to the beach. We needed a place for three couples and three of the bedrooms had king/queen sized beds with separate bathrooms. Would certainly stay again.
Loved how well stocked the place was with toys, chairs and everything you need for the beach! The home is well decorated and very comfortable. We want to return and stay longer!
Great property for a quick overnight at the beach. The dogs loved the patio to people watch. The home was beautiful and perfectly appointed. Beautiful sunrise and sunset.
This property is amazing! The house itself is beautiful and the furnishings are perfect. Views of the gulf and the bay, sunrise and sunset! Wonderful decks. Will definitely be staying again!
Property was exactly as listed and more. Extremely clean, beautifully decorated and walking distance to beach which was clutch! Also walking distance to neighborhood pool. Best of both worlds, highly recommend!!
Beautifully decorated property with views from 2 levels of the bay and gulf. The house was well stocked with everything you need. So relaxing. We will definitely be going back.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. It was just like the photos and the descriptions. We loved the views of the oceans from the balcony. And the very short walk to the beach. The beds were so comfortable - we all got great rest. The home was so beautifully decorated and very clean. We had lots of laughs together and enjoyed our time. Thank you!
We spent 3 nights at this lovely home and the only complaint we had is that it was too short! This home is charming and comfortable with beautiful gulf views and easy beach access. Fully stocked with all the things you might need when away from home plus all the beach essentials. We highly recommend this home for your next Galveston getaway:)
The house was beautiful and very clean. We had 4 adults and 2 kids under 2. There is easy access to the beach via the boardwalk crossovers. There were ample beach chairs, umbrellas, wagons and games etc. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms updated and clean. We had a very relaxing weekend stay.
We’re here in Galveston for the Motorcycle Rally. Every year we come to Galveston to participate and enjoy ourselves with the Bike Life community. As always safety is very important and rather than riding back and forth to Houston we trailer our bikes. The Beach house only makes our stay more enjoyable.
The house was very nice. Clean , great location to the beach .
The one thing would be that the carts to take your things to the beach were broken. We ended up carrying our beach stuff .
The purpose of our stay was to enjoy The motorcycle rally as a small group. To be together as a family with the kids and friends. The beach house was gorgeous. It had all the amenities we need and a few we didn’t even know we needed. Overall we all enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again.
Thanks Kim
I'm really late with this review of our stay in July but all at the house was wonderful. (The weather that week not so much.) This was our second year at this house but I noticed no drop off in quality, cleanliness, etc. It's a lovely house that works perfectly for our family of six adults and two children.
