Beautiful Weekend Stay!

This was the perfect weekend getaway with family! The location, the amenities of the property and the cool theme styled interior made for a most excellent stay in Galveston. Andrew was prompt with communication and was very hospitable. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back for another stay!

Sea Isle Stay

We were very pleased with the size and the cleanliness of the property. I just loved all the deck and patio furniture and the beautiful kitchen with the island bar. It was very comfortable in the bedrooms and the living room was decorated with interesting interior decor. We loved our stay and will return soon I hope.

Great house

The house was perfect for our family. We originally had planned to stay in mid July but the hurricane came through and changed our plans. Andrew was excellent at communicating with us during that time and super flexible when we needed to reschedule. The house was in great condition and a perfect getaway for our annual family beach trip.

Awesome Get Away!

This was our fourth time staying on the west side of the beach. We love the area! This house was another one of our favorites. It's a great spot. There was ample room for the family and our furry friends. It was also nice being close to the Marina and the beach while also having access to the pool. Additionally, Andrew is pleasant. He is a great communicator and stays on top of things!

This was a great house to stay in. Nice and cozy. They have a lot of games and puzzles to play with. Big yard to back in the boat and your vehicle. The owners are very nice and willing to help if there is a problem. Would definitely be back.

Excellent property

Needed a quiet getaway to de-stress from all the pandemic stuff. Great property with ALL the comforts of home. We had our Golden Retrievers with us so the HUGE fenced-in yard was a wonderful feature. Property is located about 20 minutes from city of Galveston so you can enjoy the best of all worlds. Whether you want to be around the crowds or just relax in the solitude of this property, you get it all here. We would definitely stay again.

Girls Weekend

Our stay was enjoyable. The place was nicely decorated and had a good vibe. The downstairs rooms had a smell, possibly mildew. It got worse when you were closer to the AC units. If you were in there a while, you grew more acclimated to it, but it is strong. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Very satisfied and would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed out stay and wanted to stay longer. Andrew, our host was always very friendly and helpful. The house was very nice and perfect for our group of 9. We brought all of our food and cooked all meals at the house, which was fully stocked with anything we needed to do so. There were 3 kayaks there that the family had a really good time on in the bay. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend and stay at this property again.

Perfect Galveston Get Away

We had a great stay! We much prefer the quiet, laid back atmosphere of the west side of the island. The neighborhood is located in the perfect spot to enjoy the gulf and bay side. However, it's close enough to visit The Strand or Pier during the day. Lots of board games available in the house, which was great in the evening.The house had plenty of space and we loved having two levels. There was more than plenty of bed space for seven of us (and we had four basketball players with us.) Beds were comfortable. Everyone slept well. Kitchen included everything needed to cook if you want to stay in. There are also plenty of restaurants if you don't. Deck is great for enjoying the sunrise and sunset.It's not beach front, but access is easy by car or golf cart with free parking. Plenty of room to stretch out on the beach as well. We would definitely stay here again!

AWESOME VACA HOME

Home was very clean, beds comfy and all the supplies needed. We had a wonderful week at Andrew's Beach House! And we had all the great coffee we could drink! His "Day of the Dead" coffee is so good!! The house is decorated so "beachy". Being from Oklahoma and not being near the ocean, Andrew had everything we needed to enjoy it. Thanks Andrew!! Hope to come back sometime soon!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Roden

Host profile image
I grew up in Houston and went to West University Elementary, Lanier Middle, and Bellaire High School. I now live in College Station. This is my dream to own a beach house and I want everyone to enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This house is more comfortable than most any other beach rental. I manage the house myself along with a local resident so I’m responsible for the maintenance and upkeep. I concentrate on details of the house for myself not just for renting. You’ve been to rent houses before that the owner hasn’t been to in years so you know what I mean. This is not the Summer Rental movie. I’m constantly making upgrades and updates. I love my tenants that treat the house as their own and make deals to returning tenants.

What makes this property unique

Not directly on water so no worries about kids falling in but they can play in the huge yard and be at the beach or the bay or in minutes. Children’s playground a block away. Location in Sea Isle and 15-20 minutes to Galveston. Walking distance of 2 BLOCKS to beach, bay, marina restaurant, pool, tennis court, basketball court. Quiet and fabulous neighbors!
