This property was wonderful!! The layout of the house was so well done with room for our large family. Beautiful views out every window and the beach was private and not crowded. We could all tell that the owners of this property had us in mind by leaving plenty of towels, dish soap, and other things.They were also very easy to communicate with.We will hopefully stay here again!

House was beautiful and clean and had a wonderful view of the private beach! House had everything you needed to have the perfect stay! The only issue we had was that we were told the golf cart was in the shop but should be fixed by Friday, the day of our arrival! We never heard anything so I called on the way down and was told it still wasn’t fixed so now we had to rent one to be able to get my 92 year old mother to the beach! It was a 500 expense we didn’t anticipate but we still enjoyed our family vacation and would definitely stay here again! The check in process is easiest we ever had and owners were so easy to communicate with! If you want to stay in a beautiful home with a great view, a gated area that provides extra safety and an overall fantastic vacation this is a great option! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home! David @ Linda Lyons

We had several families meet for a beach week and this house was perfect! The rooms had large beds, there was space for kiddos, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The beach was perfect and so easy to get to! The hosts were kind, informative, and quick to respond. Details like a wagon, high chair, two refrigerators, and beach towels made our stay that much easier. The views and patio time was wonderful. We had terrible mosquitos but it think that’s just Galveston at this time of year. Would definitely stay here again!

Great House for our Beach Blitz soccer tournament!

We had 5 families staying together for the Beach Blitz soccer tournament on East Beach. The house was beautiful, spacious, and the layout was awesome for a large group, plenty of room and more than enough bathrooms, towels, and linens. Thr kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes that allowed us to cook large meals. The private beach was awesome and a short walk to the entrance. We had the best time!
