This was the perfect location for our family spring break. Centrally located to shopping food and beach access. We never had to travel far and there was so much to do here. The home was well kept and suited our needs. Not only did it have space for everyone to have their own privacy but also accommodated our relaxation times!
Perfect location. Nice comfy house - very spacious. The board and card games kept our kiddos entertained! Comfy beds. All 10 of us had a GREAT TIME! Thank you!

Parking was great and loved the location. We had a great time and any questions were quickly answered. Definitely recommend!
My family of 5 including our dog loved our stay here. Beautiful & comfortable interior caused you feel right at home. Clean, welcoming and charming are just a few words that come to mind. Literally a short walk from the beach. Washer & dryer to get the sand out your shorts. Lovely back yard with seating around fire pit. Jason always had everything code related sent to us before could even ask “what’s the…” From start to finish a real class act.
We loved staying at this house!! Fantastic location - walked to seawall, Bryan Museum and several bars and restaurants. Quick drive to the Strand! Everything was clean and functioning. Jason was extremely welcoming and receptive. Lots of area to spread out and/or gather, and the little back yard patio was wonderful. Will definitely stay here our next trip to Galveston!
Misleading listing. Half of the fixtures were damaged. We were without power for half of the trip. Remotes to fans were all mixed around and didn’t work. Very disappointed and frustrated. Will not be staying at one of these properties again.
Location was perfect, everything was just a few minutes away, beach, stores, restaurants and entertainment. It was a great place for the family with plenty of space for comfort. The bunk bed room was great for the kids and every room had a tv. Small yard that was perfect for dog and the kids to play in. Enjoyed the stay!
Nice house for 4 couples. House was cozy and comfortable. We had trouble with the water heater the first night/day and had to take cold showers (not fun!), but the host was quick to call the plumber and got the issue fixed promptly.
Such a great location and great ambiance for a family vacation! Everything we needed for a family holiday in Galveston and very attentive host. We would definitely stay again.
The house nicely met our needs - kids, 4 grandchildren and our dogs - with the bunkbeds and fenced yard. The location was good too with being 5 minutes or so to the beach and to the Strand. We enjoyed our stay.
Good location, walking distance to the beach. The kids loved all the toys that they for guests to use. There was enough space for 8 of us to be comfortable. We would stay there again.
House was clean spacious and perfectly located, walkable to beach and restaurants. Excellent communication by the hosts as well.Our family of 5 plus dog were very comfortable and would gladly stay there again.
We were able to park a couple of cars in the back of the house, and were able to park our other car in the front. There was also space for additional vehicles if we had had them. The host was on top of things, and made sure to communicate regularly, including after we checked in to make sure everything was okay. I appreciate that. We were able to grill our steaks on the grill that was provided, and the kitchen was very well supplied. We enjoyed our annual stay in Galveston for the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
