It was a perfect spot for two friends vacationing with their teenage kids. So close to the beach and yet far enough from the downtown hustle that we felt comfortable allowing our kids to come and go to the beach, even after dark. Havana House is well kept and provisioned. We had a great stay!

Havana House is perfect for a family vacation. Everything you need is provided except your swim suit and food! Great view of the ocean just a very short distance away. Bermuda Beach is a wonderful place to vacation. Away from the traffic and crowds of Galveston yet close enough to visit.

Beautiful Beach House

Beautiful home, so well decorated and well supplied! I was sad to see the seaweed on the beach, but that is beyond owners’s control and will recede. We got to see a large sea turtle in the surf - such a thrill!

Review of Havana House.

Save for the weather (it rained almost every day), the stay was enjoyed by all. When weather did cooperate, the grandkids loved easy access to the beach. House was clean and comfortable, and no problems were encountered (other than the rain). Would definitely stay here again.

Could have been cleaner

House was not cleaned well. White dog hair under the dinning table and human hair in drain of both shower and tub. One slat missing on the upper deck railing. Opening was large enough for a child to fall through. Other than that, the house was very functional and steps from the beach. We really enjoyed our week there.

Great spot right next to beach

Very convenient access to beach, and balcony had a nice unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. Kitchen, laundry, etc. was very well stocked with anything you could think of; plenty of soap, detergent, towels, linens. A/C worked well. Nice location on a quieter part of the island.

Great time

We had a great time staying at Havana House. The location was amazing and we could see the ocean from inside and outside on the deck. The kitchen was fully stocked as if someone lived there full time which was very surprising. We will definitely stay again.
