From the owner: "It was our pleasure having you and your mom stay with us on Mother’s Day, and we look forward to having you back again soon. Thank you for the kind words."
This was absolutely the perfect little beach house! Right on the beach, very cute interior, porch was half covered so you could sit out in the middle of the day, outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off before going inside….Owner was fabulous in helping w/ a missed cleaning before we checked in. Cannot wait to stay here again when we want a quiet, peaceful stay at the beach!
The house has great location, on a short dead-end street, right on the beach with easy access. A great grocery store and diner within walking distance. 15-20 minutes from Galveston proper.

The location was excellent. The views were great. The neighborhood was quiet. The house is needing some minor repairs. It did have air conditioning, but the window units struggled to keep up with the heat and humidity of the day. Overall for a short stay, it was good. If we would have stayed longer, it wouldn't have been adequate.

From the Owner: "Thank you for your valuable feedback. We do have central heat in the house and are considering installing central air as well. Because of the highly corrosive ocean air and our closeness to the beach, central air conditioners do not last very long. So, we are also looking at more easily replaceable, higher cooling capacity window units as an alternative. With continual improvements being made, we are certain that you will find your next stay with us much more pleasant and enjoyable, and we look forward to hosting you again."
It’s a very nice place. There are a lot of good stores nearby. We had a good time while we were there. The beach is great and the views from the deck were amazing.

Cute beach house. Not fancy but great price and location. Perfect for a quick getaway or a long leisurely vacation. Perfect view of the beach and gulf. 10/10 would recommend
Great Little Beachfront Property Exactly As Described
Nice little beach house good for a small family. Reminds me of the lake cabin my aunt and uncle had years ago. Not as large as the neighboring properties but it's facing the same ocean. Very pleasant overall.
Great location for a small group. Perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. Appliances look new and house was neat and clean. Shaded deck with terrific view of the Gulf.

Amazing Ocean Beach View!
We enjoyed our four day stay with the amazing ocean views including easy quick access just steps away from the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch taking in the scenic views. The sound of the waves crashing on to the beach was heaven.
Very nice and clean house. Easy access to the beach. Love the view from the covered deck. Wish the grill would have been there and the washer and dryer would help with wet clothes but overall it was well worth the price and will rent again.
