Wonderful beach getaway—highly recommend!We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The views are spectacular, and the proximity to the beach is unbeatable.Here is what made our trip so special:• Amazing Porch: We absolutely loved the porch—it was the perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful views.• Tons of Space: The house is a great size and very cozy. Having so much space for the kids to spread out made our stay incredibly comfortable.• Family & Pet Friendly: The property was welcoming for both our kids and our pets, making for a truly stress-free vacation.• Fun Area: The surrounding area is super fun, and the waves right by the house were a total blast.• Great Comfort: The beds were incredibly comfortable and ensured everyone got a great night's sleep.Note for future guests: The property is currently up for sale and is a little outdated in some areas, but it didn't impact our comfort or the quality of our stay at all.We are so thankful and truly appreciate the opportunity to stay here. We would absolutely love to come back!

This was the perfect beach house and location to celebrate my daughters 19th Birthday weekend. The host Jeff is AMAZING! Very accommodating, prompt and excellent communicator.The beach within a few minutes walk was lovely. Very quiet and calming atmosphere. Having access to direct tv, you tube and HBO Max without having to log in made television watching easy peasy for my family. Just about anything you may need from, kitchen items, regular towels, beach towels and games. In addition it was very clean and the beds were super comfy! I will most definitely secure this property again in the future.

What a perfect little beach house! The layout is great, plenty of space to all gather together, but then three bedrooms to sleep your group. The house was cozy and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and den area. Easy walk to the beach and so nice to listen to the waves from the balcony.

We enjoyed our visit to Galveston! Short walk to the private beach area, super clean house, lots of room for our kids, easy access to clean laundry room, dog friendly and relaxing porch with great views of the Gulf. Host was easy to contact and quick to respond. You won’t be disappointed! Look forward to our return visit in the near future. Thanks again for sharing your beach house!
