Girls Trip

We had a wonderful time! The house is truly directly on the water. Which helped a lot with the senior citizens that were with us along with the ramp leading to the beach. If you enjoy brightly colored rooms with beach decor, this is the house with you. No room, disappointed there was so much to look at and taken. The furnishings in the house had everything that we needed.

So fun!

The house is decorated so cutely! The location can’t be beat. Although some reviews say that there is nothing supplied by the house, we were so pleasantly surprised that there was some toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, beach toys, and other beach equipment. It’s probably been left by other people who have stayed, but it was greatly appreciated! Thank you for a memory making weekend :)

Needs a little love

First, let me start with the good. This is a great location! It’s right on the beach. The house is spacious and comfortably sleeps a large number of people. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The fire pit downstairs is a great perk. Now for the not so good. At first glance, the place seemed clean enough, but it became apparent that it was not really that clean. The bed linens were clean, but the extra blankets smelled terrible. There were roaches in the kitchen. Lots of roaches. I contacted the host and they did respond right away and had the exterminator out the next day. Overall the trip was nice, but we were hosting a birthday party and the bugs and lack of cleanliness made it more stressful than it should have been.

A visit to the beach during a snow storm

While most everything met our expectations, the timing during a winter storm may have complicated things beyond the normal. Due to snow and ice on the ramps and stairs we were confined indoors for almost all the time we were there. A request to clear them so we could safely exit was not attended to, though it was an unusual request I am sure. Also we were without hot water in the kitchen, which otherwise was well accommodated. Heating water on the stove allowed us to take care of cleaning up. Otherwise, I would stay here again if assured there would not be a once in a lifetime weather event.

Fantastic view! Could not have been a better sight to wake up to each morning. The house offers oceanfront views with lots of natural light and windows facing the water. The ramp at the side of the house worked well for our senior dog with arthritic joints. She enjoyed laying on the beach with us! The layout of the house is nice with plenty of beds. The owner was easy to communicate with. The house looks better in person than in pictures, brightly decorated with cheery beachy touches. Pleasantly suprised to find 2 refrigerators/ freezers! We would definitely stay here again and would bring friends next time since we had so much room for our family of 4!

Very nice, very roomy

My family and I stayed for a long weekend for my aunts 85th birthday. Due to her age and a couple others the ramp was a necessity so we really appreciated having that and a roll in shower. The beds were a bit high with the mattress toppers but we took them off and all was good. All in all a very nice stay and the owners were so super helpful and responsive! Only negative is no golf carts on the beach in this area.

FANTASTIC STAY !!! FANTASTIC HOUSE !!

We come to Galveston 2-3 times a year. this was hands down the best rental we have had the pleasure of staying at, and I am kinda picky. We left a condo at the San Luis a day early because it was just not up to par The views can not be beat ! The pictures of the house and the view do not do it justice. The owners are very responsive to any question you might have and are prompt to reply. We can't wait to book it again ! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Nice place on the beach

Can’t beat the location. Right on the beach. I’m sure it is because of all the rain but I highly recommend mosquito repellent. We got attacked multiple times. Can’t really blame that on the property. There were some things missing like a dvd player in the master bedroom and some missing batteries in remotes but we were there for the beach anyways so didn’t matter too much. Would stay again.

Family beach getaway

Everything about the house was perfect. The ramp was a plus for me because I have arthritis and stairs are difficult, so having the ramp made it a lot easier to come and go. The only problem was the wobbly board at the bottom. I had to be extra careful. The deck was really nice with plenty of room to sit and enjoy each other while listening to the rhythm of the surf. The deck chairs were attractive and colorful, but not comfy to sit for too long. But that’s only a minor thing. I particularly liked having such great sleeping options with the separate beds. Most beach rentals are set up for couples, with one bed in each room plus a bunk for kids. The kitchen was nice with plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils, and we were amazed to see two refrigerators!! That’s unheard of! We have rented places where the one fridge barely worked. The AC worked great (again, I remember a few rentals where the AC barely cooled). Our family consisted of me, a 90 year old mom and grandma, my two daughters and one’s partner, and my 27 year old grandson and his girlfriend. Two friends come in for one day to help celebrate my grandson’s birthday, and this house was exactly right. We have rented a beach house every summer for the past 30 years (except for the Covid years) and this is one of the best.
