Weekend retreat

I couldn't say enough about this property or owners. This is by far one of the easiest rentals I have had to do. From booking to checking out, everything was so simple. The house is beautiful, and Nicole is very responsive. They provide games, chairs for the beach, a grill, etc... I would definitely choose this house if you are looking for a fun Galveston getaway!

Amazing Property

We frequently stay at VRBO properties while traveling. This property was amazing! The property is clean and well kept. The entire unit is beautifully decorated, the best we’ve stayed at thus far. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you need. The pool table and games kept us busy in the evenings. We were there during cooler weather so we did not spend much time at the beach. But if you’re there during the warmer season, you will enjoy that this house is literally steps away from the beach. Also, the huge TV was perfect for watching the game. We had an amazing time! Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Jared

My name is Nicole, and I am a Wife, Mother, Recruiter for oil and gas and have a love for Galveston and beach living. My husband and I purchased this property to give our family a close vacation home for our family. Our three children share our love for the beach, so the private beach is perfect for us!! We are very excited to share our wonderful home with others who love the beach town vibe and who are looking for a safe and relaxing vacation or even staycation.

Why they chose this property

Our beach home is located just steps away from a private beach. No motor vehicles are allowed on the beach, so it is very safe for children and perfect for adult groups to have a safe and relaxing beach experience. Our community keeps our beach clean and its never crazy busy, which allows for a better beach vibe. We are very close to the Seawall and all its attractions. We are 23 minutes away from The Strand, which is a must visit for new Galveston guests.

What makes this property unique

We have a pool table and ping pong topper for adults and kids to play. Our home also has an elevator which makes unloading and loading much easier. The home also has two King bedrooms, one is the Master Bedroom on third level and the other is on the main level with private bathroom.
