About this property

only a 2 block walk to a private beach perfect for families

2 block walk only to a private beach Surf Shack is a perfect location. Open floor plan is ideal for entertaining and all rooms on same floor. W/ the lights on the Front deck listening to the waves at night is tranquil. vacant lots on 3 sides offer peace from neighbors. Cornhole, washer boards and horseshoes offer fun for everyone while at the house. Also 2 blocks to an amazing pizza place, large convenient store and liquor store makes for a great location.

All good

Host was very responsive. Older property. Small refrigerator so bring a cooler for your beer and bottled water. Also... might want to bring your own coffee pot...or do what we did and get individual k cups for coffee. Overall, a comfortable place with a great host.

Quaint Place Very Near Beach

We had a great stay in Galveston! The house was clean upon arrival and was super comfortable for our party of 7. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were cozy, we had plenty of hot water, and the a/c worked great! Proximity to the beach was excellent as well!

Great stay!

The property was clean and ready for us. The proprietor was quick to respond to my questions. Property had a nice fenced in area that was common to the deck so we could let the dog out without worrying about him getting free. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach!

Wonderful way to celebrate an engagement!

The house was perfect! Super close to the beach, very quaint, and pet friendly! Our dogs were very welcomed and we loved the dog friendly amenities of the house, like a doggy door and big fenced in yard. This was a great weekend celebrating an engagement with my fiancé and our friends. Made memories that will last a lifetime. The house was clean, the owner was very kind and personable and quick with communication if I needed anything. Overall a place I’d recommend for a small gathering, celebration, and weekend getaway

Short getaway

The property location is great. Short walk to the beach. A canopy is provided to take to the beach which is needed for the hot Texas sun. The rooms were spacious and so were the bathrooms. The place needs a few little updates and a few things repaired but overall it was perfect for us. We had our dogs so the fencing around the yard was great. It wasn’t in the best shape but as long as your dog doesn’t jump up on it, it serves its purpose. The porch was very nice. The bed was comfortable. We only used one of the 3 room so not sure about the other beds.

Outdated and Rundown

Full disclosure- I found this property listed for a very low price and booked it. After I booked the owner demanded I pay double or he would cancel. He will say this review is because I am upset about the. I am not. I felt he had genuinely made a mistake when listing and decided to pay what he asked. Pros-The walk to the beach was very short.The beach is beautiful. We walked all the way down to Jamaica Beach. The Patio on the home is a beautiful place to have coffee.There is an outdoor shower downstairs to rinse off.Cons-The home is very outdated.There are many maintenance and condition issues.The tubs don't drain properly.The smoke detector in one room was missing and wires were hanging out. Mice got into out food.The furniture was old and dirty.The owner is quick to respond. No issues with that. I would have left and asked for a refund if I had paid full price.

Peaceful and a breeze

Checking in was a breeze. The beach was wonderful, within walking distance. There weren’t many people around and we felt like we had the beach to ourself. The house was great. Plenty of porch space. The layout of the house was very open and enjoyable for our family to spend time with each other. Thank you for everything, Sean!

Close to beach in a quiet neighborhood, some cons

Pros: -comfortable beds -big couch in living room -filtered water faucet in kitchen -games (dominos, jenga, cards) available for use -air conditioner works well -quiet neighborhood -ample parking -​easy 5 minute walk to uncrowded beach -beach toys, shade tarp, boogie boards for ​use -outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach -owner​ is polite and responds quickly to messages Cons: -​No washer/dryer (which was an amenity stated in the listing)​. Very disappointing the home was misrepresented in this way! We are a family of 6 including 4 young children and we packed​ minimally assuming we could do laundry. The owner did apologize for the inaccurate listing, but it was still inconvenient. -​Some doors don’t close easily and some swing open due to the slight slant of the house​. -​Limited cooking supplies in the kitchen, limited pots/pans/utensils, many are scratched and/or rusted, no oven mitts, only one small dish towel​. -​The outside of the entire stove/oven gets VERY hot when in use​. -​Dining room area is very small, the table is large and difficult to walk around​. -The house could be a little cleaner (under/behind beds, under toaster, etc). Overall, this house is a good deal for the price with a great location close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. As long as you don't need laundry and aren't looking for 5 star luxury accommodations, you should be fine. The owner is friendly and quick to respond, so that is a plus.
