So quaint! Thank you for the great space and perfect location. Everything we needed to play on the beach was in the closet. Coffee on the porch was wonderful. The barbecue grill was nice to have.

Paradise

This little bungalow was exactly what a stay at the beach should be. We loved the huge front deck, the view, the quick walk to the beach. It was super clean and very well stocked with everything we could want for our stay.

Great location, lack of comfort and space

The bedrooms downstairs were very small, very smelly. The kitchen was very small as well, not convenient for families or cooking. The bedrooms upstairs had slanted roof which didnt show on the pics. The bbq pit was very rusted. The beach chairs were also old except for 2 Very small and narrow stairs case to lead upstairs

Really Nice Place

We would definitely book again. Short walk to the beach, like 2 minutes end of the block. All the beach accessories are provided along with wagons to haul it all. Clean place, lots of games provided. Huge deck, we were there a lot. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had most everything we needed. One thing to note-the two ground floor bedrooms were not “connected” to the upstairs inside, only by outside stairs. It was fine for us, but may not be for younger kids by themselves. Really nice owner and easy to get ahold of. Bathrooms were great and lots of hot water. Really enjoyed our weekend!

Awesome place

The host was incredibly kind and really went above and beyond to help accommodate us after Hurricane Beryl blew through and worked to make sure our stay was perfect. Great location, close to the beach and we love that it had a ground level rooms for the older folks who can't easily do stairs and a room of bunks for kids/teens. The deck was perfect for eating and lounging. Great place! We'll be back!

Perfect Property!

This home had everything we needed! Space for teens below. Living space above for everyone to gather to watch movies. And oh. The covered porch was a dream with the breeze coming in!!!! Very few homes have such a large covered porch and this was perfect! Jennifer’s hospitality was spot on with nice touches and excellent communication. Hands down we would stay here again!!!

Cute getaway

This house is in the perfect location. The host also adds little touches to make it feel like a bed and breakfast. Two of the rooms are completely separate from the kitchen, living, and other two rooms. You have to go outside and downstairs to get to the other 2 rooms. Two of the rooms are also all the way upstairs with a narrow staircase. Nothing wrong with it, just for reference purposes.

Thanksgiving Vacation

The property was a perfect location to the ocean in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The house had all the amenities we needed for our family Thanksgiving dinner and enough space to spread out to play games. The porch was wonderful to sit on and relax.

Overall a great place to stay. Didn't realize you had to go through the bedroom with bunk beds to get to one of the other bedrooms as well as a bathroom. We made it work. Would also like to see them leave more towells. Thank you so much. We had a great time.

Great beach house

Very comfortable house with every accommodation and accessory you could need and if they don’t have it, they will get it for you. The owner is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. The house is in a perfect location. Only a very short walk to the beach. We rented golf carts, which made it even easier. We truly enjoyed our long weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Keep Kowalski

Host profile image
Our family has been enjoying Galveston for over 20 years. It has been a dream of ours to own a home near the beach. Our family loves to play volleyball and fly kites on the beach. Our neighbors are an added bonus to this home. Everyone who we have met has been wonderful. I hope you enjoy the relax beach life as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

You know what they say "location, location, location!" We absolutely love this area and wanted a family friendly home that was close to the beach. The house was nicely maintained but we added our own special touches this year. Come see for yourself!

What makes this property unique

This house is designed for 2 families to stay. Both can enjoy the commons area and patio while having their own privacy.
