Loved Our Stay!

This is such a beautiful beach house with the perfect location! House is right on the beach with a fenced yard and close to town. Beach felt private in the day and was quiet at night. Beds were comfy and the house was clean. The host was so nice and had great communication. We are hoping to stay there again on our next trip to beautiful Galveston! Five stars for sure!

2nd Stay Just Wonderful

This was our 2nd stay and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Clean and comfortable home, with everything we needed. We are so grateful to be able to bring our dogs and we all love the big fenced yard. The beach was beautiful and quiet the week before Christmas. Close to delicious shrimp and fried mushrooms at Seahorse Grill, and the Festival,of Lights at Moody Gardens. Not too far from the Strand, Opera House, Fishermans Warf, and my favorite Brews Brothers burger! We wish the shower water would get a little hotter, for winter stays especially. Also this time there were pretty bad sticker burrs between outside the gate on the path to the beach - maybe some stepping stones would help. We had a wonderful visit, and will definitely be back!

Beautiful Location

This property is an excellent place for a family vacation. It is small but our family of four was very comfortable there. The deck is large and partially covered and access right on the beach is second to none!!!

Repeated Vacationers.

This was our second time staying at this property. We enjoyed it so much that we've already booked for next July and October. Love how close to the water the house is and how close to everything you need in town, yet it feels like you are far away from everything in a quiet neighborhood. Love the fact that the windows are bare, makes the view of the natural beach and the water amazing. Judy is a great Host.

Location, location, location!

Perfect size house for my husband and myself and two dogs. Fenced yard was great. We spent plenty of time on the beach that was just steps away. The porch and rocking chairs were great to relax and enjoy the view on.

I live in Galveston now, but still have a home where it snows--in KC! I own a dog day care and boarding business in Galveston, so come see us! Judy

Why they chose this property

I am currently the Sunny Beach HOA President, and love our small community, with a sand dune restoration project going.We purchased our little beach bungalow for the great neighborhood, and the proximity to all of the activities and historic district that Galveston offers. Our Beach Retreat is also known by many repeat guests as Athen's Nest and is perfect for that quiet, romantic getaway. Bring family, friends or just come by yourself to enjoy nature and some 'down' time to relax on your own.

What makes this property unique

Our home is great for just staying put and relaxing! We absolutely love to watch the ever changing gulf views. The water is clear blue and flat one day and the next it is choppy with large waves. Our home has unobstructed views and a great place to watch for porpoise, shrimping boats, sailing regattas (they sail right past our home), fabulous birds fly over in various formations, shelling, watching people ride down the beach on horseback, beautiful sunrises over the water plus scenic full moons.

If you're in the mood for more action, head into historic Galveston for fun restaurant dining, visiting the historic Strand, Moody Gardens, sea turtle exhibit, museums, watch the large ships come into port.....a ton of activity to choose from only minutes from our Beach Retreat.

Many remember our Beach Retreat as Athen's Nest and it is perfect for couples and small groups. For larger gatherings, it is perfect to rent with the adjacent Beach Retreat next door (owned by our good neighbor) for additional space. Both homes work perfectly together!
