It was a lovely stay and very comfortable. It would have been great if the cleaning crew had looked over a few things a bit more but we had everything we needed.

Beachfront Hideaway is absolutely gorgeous! The elevator made it possible for me to enjoy the beach view after my ankle surgery. The beach views were stunning from the living room when the wind and cool air kept us off the deck. The road side entrance had a screened porch which we enjoyed very much too. The king bed was remarkably comfortable and the bathing area was spacious and accommodating for my walker. Everything was beautifully decorated and very clean. We would love to come back with our family!

Phenomenal!

Who ever designed this house deserves a some kind of prize! The property is absolutely gorgeous and the layout is beyond perfect. They quite literally thought of EVERYTHING! I have stayed at other beach houses but this one is definitely my favorite so far. We had kids, teens, and adults ranging from 4 yrs old to 75 years old and everyone was super impressed and cannot stop talking about how the property made the whole trip come together. The game room and hot tub kept everyone entertained for hours when we took a beach break.

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful time staying here. Everything was perfect. Having an elevator was absolutely the best as not having to struggle carrying groceries up. The house was nice and clean on arrival. We encountered no issues. The view was fantastic. Will definitely want to stay again.

The Perfect Family Get-Away

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving celebration at the Beachfront Hideaway. The location and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. The home was spacious, beautiful, clean, and very accommodating. We noticed and reported some normal wear and tear maintenance-type issues that should (and probably will) be taken care of. Overall, this was one of the nicest homes we've stayed in, and we plan to make it our Go-To for all of our family vacations on the Bolivar Peninsula. Thanks for providing such a nice place.

Great Stay!

House was great, four bedrooms, each having its own ensuite makes large family gatherings, super easy where no one's fighting over rooms. We had one minor issue with the dishwasher and the company responded within the hour and had someone dispatched out first thing the next morning. Communication was great, the house left us needing anything. Appreciate the notification around what supplies are provided, we brought one medium package of toilet paper and some extra paper towels, and trash bags and had enough to last us all week. Sonic ice machine was a huge hit, we didn't use any of the ice we brought lol

This was our second year in this beautiful home. This year under the new mgmt company. We highly recommend staying in this home under this Mgmt Company. Or any home they manage! You will not be disappointed! They were kind and courteous at every level. The home was beautifully maintained and any questions or issues always answered and addressed very quickly and courteously.

Looks just like the pictures!

This luxury rental was just as the pictures showed; spacious with a beautiful view of the water. The home itself was immaculately cleaned with all of the supplies we needed. The only critique is that the elevator was not working. One of our guests has mobility issues so having no elevator made it difficult for them to access the rental. The property manager was responsive and courteous. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental to any family looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Don’t stay here the front door key pad, swim spa/ hot tub didn’t work. No gas grill just a cheap Weber. Game room hot, bad odor and full of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes would carry you away and host wouldn’t spray the yard. Everything was horrible on the ground floor so we couldn’t enjoy the amenities with our children and grandchildren. 2nd floor mostly good with exception of not very clean and towels smelly after one use. Not being maintained and cleaned very well. No beach towels and master closet locked with no place to hang clothes.

Galveston weekend trip

The instructions for checking in were delivered late, expected to have all of the details 1-2hr before the check in time. The property has a mold issues, an electrical receptacle underneath the living room facing the tv had arcing sings of arcing, not seated properly in the box. The charcoal grill needs some TLC. Everything else was on point and even exited expectations.

Family Retreat

We loved the beachfront Hideaway for our Bolivar Beach Family Retreat 2025! The house is better than the pictures. All of the details have been looked after. The elevator is a fantastic feature, Not sure how we missed it in the listing, and we were thrilled to find the ice maker. The kitchen is dreamy. We found everything to be in great shape, very responsive management and the house is spotless. There are plenty of places to hang out and the gates neighborhood allows us to feel safe with all of the kiddos. We rented a 6 person golf cart and highly recommend doing so. I made bags with reusable water tumblers and beach towels for everyone, and set up a water dispenser downst, this was helpful. My only suggestion is a sign reading 'children must use elevator with an adult ' I made a sign during our stay. Enjoy your stay, this is a perfect hideaway!
