Family Fun

This property was fabulous. It was very well equipped. (except for paper products, only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. And only one roll of paper towel). We could have used some spray cleaner to clean and wipe counters after meals. Overall it was great! Plenty of beach toys and chairs. If you have a big group, stay here.

Drift away

Great property. Beautiful views, quiet neighborhood. Very relaxing The internet TV service in the primary bedroom would occasionally have issues. This was minor, overall it was an excellent experience. Would stay there again.

Pre-Christmas break with the family

My husband and I, our daughter and her husband and three kids took a 3-day visit to Galveston pre-Christmas just to spend quality time together. The house is amazing and everyone loved staying at Drift Away. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood with the beach a 3 or 4 minute walk to the beach. It is a short drive to Moody Gardens, downtown Galveston and historic homes. We loved the decor of the house and sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine and listening to ocean. We all agreed (from 12 to 70) that we needed to visit again and stay at Drift Away. Thank you to Eric for being a gracious host. We loved our stay!!!
