Great spot for a family vacation

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.

Awesome place!

Great location with close beach access. The house was very well stocked with almost everything you could think of. All of the family was amazed at how nice everything was. We had a great stay!Note to host: The kitchen faucet has developed a leak and the front lockbox really needs some WD40!

Beautiful

This was a great beach house. It was very comfortable, well furnished and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach and beautiful views from the decks. There were six of our family members and we had a great time. We were all in our 70’s and the only complaint was the outside stairway! It got easier as the week went on. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home and perfect setting

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!
