The beach house was a great place to stay. The house has all of the amenities plus some. The view and access to the beach can’t get better, it’s literally the front yard. The house and property are very well maintained. The property is in a great location. I will stay there again when visiting Galveston.

Beautiful and quiet vacation spot

The beach house was very easy to find and upon arrival everyone had a smile from ear to ear. The view and the quietness of the location is simply amazing. We found the house very clean and accommodating with a very spacious layout. This is the place to come to for a truly relaxing experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The main upstairs level was excellent. Very clean & the kichtenware was well stocked. Thoroughly enjoyed the main floor! Unfortunately, the downstairs accommodations were unacceptable and even lean towards a health violation. I have pictures of all the mold that I would like to share. This created quite an issue & embarrassment as our guest refused to sleep there.

Gorgeous Getaway

This home was a wonderful place for a week away stay with our teenage and young adult daughters. The apartment downstairs gave our older daughter space and everyone had a comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom. The kitchen is well-stocked and the linens/towels/blankets plentiful throughout. We enjoyed a puzzle and games and simply all being able to be together inside and on the deck. The view and sunrises were lovely.So quiet and a gorgeous, relaxing getaway with the beach just steps away!!

We love that you enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, cozy linens, games, and especially the beautiful sunrises and beachside location. We'd love to welcome you back for another peaceful retreat!

Had a great stay. The view was beautiful and right on the beach just a short walk to get your feet in the sand. I would recommend that you always have something on your feet prior to getting to the beach. My kids and myself got splinters in our feet from the deck and stickers from walking on the grass barefoot. The house and stay was great besides that. The smoke detectors did end up going off due to the batteries were firing but that was a quick fix. I would recommend this property for your family vacation. As of now it’s not the busy season. There is a free parking lot next to the house for the beach I would keep that in mind for the summer months. They are also building on the other side of the house. But overall it was great. The outdoor space and shower was great.

We booked this property over the Christmas holiday week for two families and really liked the proximity to the beach and also the concept of dual living spaces, private grounds and the quiet area of the island that the property seemed to offer. Many things we loved but a few unfortunate details impacted the quality of our stay and this review.The upstairs space is absolutely the primary unit and is mainly well stocked and maintained (4 stars- due to a few small things as well as the heavily stained area rug and mold above windows in the living room.) The downstairs however is in essence a basement (2/3 stars.). The bunks were tricky to use and the living area was damp (with the dehumidifier running 24/7-50% humidity) and pretty void of natural light. We communicated concerns, including photos, regarding ants, spiders, the amount of dust, dirt in the corners of floors/ ceilings and a few areas with evident mold as well as some missing items. The response from the property management company was generic with no acknowledgment of our specific concerns aside from an appreciation for the feedback. It did not instill confidence that there was any intent to deal with those concerns for any future guests.Lastly, the listing notes nearby construction may be on going, important for future guests to understand that there is a very large development going on directly next door. I am sure once built, it will change the vibe of the private/ quiet property. We will book elsewhere.

Hi Allison, thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, dual living spaces, and private feel of the property. We apologize for the issues in the downstairs space and will address your concerns with our team to improve future stays. Regarding the nearby construction, we don’t have control over outside developments, but we note it in the listing so guests are aware. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry it impacted your stay.
