The townhouse was very clean and in a great location. We loved our stay there and will definitely come back! The check-in/check-out process was easy. I wish I was still there!!
Property was perfect for our outing. The 3 full bathrooms, which is unheard of, made it comfortable for everyone!Kitchen was well equipped, clean,….perfectly clean fridge, and great view from the prep - sink area.The property grounds were very well kept and the boardwalk to the beach really was just feet away.But I must say my favorite place was the deck off the living area for both coffee and cocktails.Hosts were great! Thanks for a relaxing “home base” for our weekend in Galveston!
Nice clean home with a short distance to the private beach. 150 yards from the public beach access. Traveled over the 4th and watched lots of fireworks from the beach.
We had a wonderful experience at this property and it’s a perfect place for a Galveston getaway! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, welcoming, and exactly as described in the listing. The home was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay—plenty of kitchen essentials, soft linens, and cozy touches that made it feel like home. Not to mention, the location is just steps away from a gas station with a grocery store that has everything you need! The walk to the beach was short and easily accessible.
We loved the decor. Everything was sparkling clean when we arrived. The short walk to the beach was awesome. You can go play in the water without loading up for the day. We went several times a day to swim and just brought a towel. The swing was a big hit with the kids. Would definitely stay there again
Everything was wonderful! The house was beautiful and so accommodating. The views were beautiful. The kids were excited about the arcade game. We loved it!
The house is exactly like the pictures and not too far of a walk or a very quick drive to the beach. Great for a getaway weekend for friends or family! Can’t wait to come back!
