We had a wonderful stay here for five days! We do an annual Galveston Island trip with our entire family and this house was the perfect size. It offered a large living and dinning area where we could all be together to eat and play games. We also loved the location. It's a very quiet and private area, very few people on the beach and everyone was very kind!
We went for morning walks, enjoyed beach days and because of the location, we were able to take breaks at the house for lunch! We also loved the huge patio with tons of furniture so we could all sit outside! The rooms were a great size and loved how many king beds there were! Cold AC with plenty of bathrooms which was a must for us! We'll be back next year!

Our stay at this stunning beachfront home in Galveston was absolutely perfect! The house is right on the beach, offering breathtaking views from almost every room. The large windows throughout the house make the views feel endless, and each room feels like its own private retreat with the sound of the waves just outside.The expansive decks were an absolute highlight. We spent hours on them, enjoying the fresh sea breeze, watching the sunrise with coffee in the morning, and just unwinding with the incredible view of the beach. The lot is huge and very private, providing plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the outdoors in privacy. The neighborhood is great with large well maintained homes and absolutely no cars allowed on the beach(a good thing to check for!)Not only is this home an absolute gem, but Chris, the host, made our experience even better. From the moment we booked, he was incredibly responsive, answering all our questions and providing helpful recommendations for local activities. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his guests’ experience. Any small requests we had were handled promptly and with a friendly attitude, which made our stay even more enjoyable.If you’re looking for a beachfront escape in Galveston with amazing views and a host who goes above and beyond, this is the place to be! We can’t wait to come back next year.

Great location, deck, and house arrangement. AC struggled upstairs, house had ants, and there needs to be basic maintenance of home

The home is in terrible disrepair and is very unclean and unsanitary. No one is taking care of this home nor cleaning it between rentals. It’s disgusting. Furthermore, the air conditioning system did not work. At the time I rented the home the weather was 100 degrees and the upstairs AC was broken and not working. We were not told this ahead of the trip, and then the owner failed to send anyone to repair it for multiple days. This made the entire upstairs of the house unusable. Furthermore, there were used dirty dishes in the kitchen cabinets that no one bothered to wash; missing tiles on the floor; doors hanging off hinges, an infestation of ants and roaches. When these issues were brought to the owners’ attention they did nothing to resolve the problems. The gross and malfunctioning condition of this home ruined this vacation. I have stayed at this home once before and cleanliness, the poor condition and the disrepair were the same. We gave the property owners the benefit of the doubt at that time because we assumed they were just having difficulties. But all the same cleanliness issues and disrepair were still a problem this time. This house is not what is being advertised.

We were not satisfied with our stay here. Pictures in the listing are misleading and must have been taken a while ago. Primary complaints include: NO HOT WATER in the upstairs bathrooms, constant slow drip in laundry room, ants on kitchen counter, dirty cupboards and kitchenware (mold and bugs), non-working electrical outlets, doors off the hinges, loose floor tiles, no broom or vacuum, no beach towels, and not enough bath towels/washcloths. The host, Chris, was responsive in getting us more towels and a broom, but he did not address any of the main issues with the house, including the no hot water. Instead, he offered to buy us a pizza. We asked for a refund but he denied there were any issues before we arrived, even when we sent photos of the problems. This property was not worth the money we paid. We have stayed in other beach front properties in this area that were much cleaner and better stocked. The welcome gift on the counter was a nice enough gesture, but they were all expired snacks by 4 to 10 months. We were not allowed to use the shutters on the window. The trash cans outside were full when we arrived and no one came to move or empty them like the instructions said. The sand toys downstairs were in disarray when we arrived, and there was still trash left from the guests before. Would only recommend this house if the primary issues were fixed or rented at a much lower cost. Overall very disappointing.

Living room and deck are both amazing. Plenty of room for everyone to get together. Beds were very comfortable. Only complaint was there wasn’t an ice maker, but there were 2 refrigerators so we had plenty of room to chill all of the drinks and store ice. Would recommend.

The property was perfectly located , well maintained and very spacious .The beach was barely 50 yards from back porch, non vehicle access and very private .Home provisions were plentiful and house was very clean .However the best part was our host Chris .He was timely in responses and very pleasant to deal with. I recommend this house for many reasons but location on Indian Beach was near enough to Galveston for everything and private /exclusive enough to enjoy the private wave therapy .Kudos Chris.

Wonderful open space to visit and awesome porches with excellent views of the beach. The kitchen and baths need attention to cleaning and re-supplying in the kitchen. Overall, excellent time with the family and excellent location.

We traveled to Galveston for dance nationals. Our group was 5 adults, 4 teenagers ages 14-18 and a 10 year old. We walked in the house and were blown away by how gorgeous the house is and the amazing open living/dining space. Walking out on the back patio we were thrilled by the amazing ocean. The beach is steps away down the private walkway. The kitchen is fully equipped just like home. We cooked most of our meals at the house and were never without a utensil, or pot or pan. Each bedroom was comfortable and met all of our needs. I cannot say enough good things about this house. This house has everything you would need for a great vacation! I will book this house again if we come to Galveston. Also a small grocery store near by pretty well stocked for those last minute needs! Love love loved our stay!

Spent a long Memorial Day 2022 in this spacious and beautiful home right on the Galveston beach. Our family of eight were able to spread out and enjoy the ocean beauty. We could walk right out to the beach every day after having coffee on the massive balcony patio with a nice bench swing. We have rented numerous properties in Galveston and this one by far the best experience we have had. Highly recommended.

This place is perfect. I can’t say enough.great location. Beautiful home, best stocked house I’ve ever rented and I have rented several all over the world. It had everything you needed plenty of dishes pots pans games for kids. Boogie boards. Plenty of towel even beach towel.. I highly recommend this home.
