Great house in a nice little neighborhood. The beach is steps away. It is a quiet beach with no car traffic except for the Turtle Patrol that comes by each day. You can walk the beach for miles, and there is a State Park just a few houses down the beach. Loved that you could grill downstairs and still see the ocean - no dunes in between. The house was clean and well stocked. Beds were comfy, central AC worked great. We'll be back!

Loved our stay!

We had a great time visiting Galveston and enjoyed our stay at this property. It is quite literally "on the beach", with a great patio and exceptional view. It's about 15-20 minutes away from the main part of the island, so you are able to get out of the busiest areas and have a more relaxing place to stay with a more private beach to enjoy.
