Check-in was a breeze with the on-site lockbox. Home was just right for us and the beach and views were wonderful. Couple of minor items but they were quickly addressed. Delightful evenings walking the beach with grandchildren shrieking when finding tiny sand crabs. Followed by restful times in the large hot tub!

Comfy beach house

House was well stocked and comfortable. Although 20 miles from downtown which had its pluses and minuses. We were very pleased at the small grocery store and a few restaurants nearby. You really can't beat being directly on the beach!

Thank you so much for your review! šŸŒ§ļøšŸŒ“ While we can’t control the Galveston weather, we’re thrilled to hear that you still had a fun and enjoyable stay. One of the things we love about this home (and the island) is that there’s still plenty to enjoy—cozy indoor spaces, great views, and time to relax—rain or shine. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and making the most of your trip despite the rain. We’d love the opportunity to host you again next time—hopefully with a little more sunshine waiting for you! ā˜€ļø

Thank you so much for staying at Kokomo! The Tropical Storm did come through and the breaker for the Hot Water Heater did fault. We replaced it and the hot water works; I apologize for the inconvenience and I’m so glad we were able to get it fixed.

Kokomo House

The house felt very warm and welcoming and the views of the ocean are amazing. Check-in was so easy it seamed like I must be forgetting to do something. The location is quite but there are several grocery stores, restaurants and downtown activities just a short drive away. I would highly recommend the Kokomo house to any friends or family who are vacationing in the Galveston area.

Thank you for your thoughtful and honest review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the beachfront location and the stunning views of the beach and ocean—those views truly make this home special. 🌊 We did want to share that the home has undergone updates, including newly remodeled floors, and we are continuing to make improvements to enhance the guest experience. The property is located in a quieter, more private stretch of coastline, which many guests appreciate for a more relaxing beach getaway, while still being within driving distance of Galveston’s attractions. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again and show you the continued updates firsthand.

Great time at Kokomo!

We had a great stay at the Kokomo house! Very clean, plenty of stocked supplies (kitchen, linens, towels, sand toys & other beach supplies, accessories, etc.)... Hot tub & putt putt game was a hit! .. Very short walk to the beach was so nice! .. Very quiet beach. Felt like we practically had it to ourselves. Fast internet. Really enjoyed drinking coffee every morning on the patio with the ocean view! Also, loved watching the moonrises at night. Highly recommended!

Its a beach house

Beautiful views, hot tub was user friendly, the high winds made it hard to use the fire pit. Customer service was amazing, they sent someone out to help with an issue we were having and came to a solution. I would recommend more linens such as wash cloths, more than 1 kit hen towel and pot holder. And a floor towel/mat for both bathrooms.

Memorial Day Fun

Great west end location on an un-busy section of beach. House is far enough from the public entrances so it really feels private. Our teenagers enjoyed the hot tub and putting green. We had an issue with the AC and the owner sent someone the next day. They then replaced the unit and it worked perfectly! House was stocked with everything you could need. Would definitely return!
