We got this Barbie dream house for my daughter's 16th and she absolutely loved it! Her and her friends had the best time especially sitting outside. Jaime was amazing at getting back with me when I had questions. The house is beautiful and very pink!

We surprised our girls with a get away! They had no idea we were staying in a Barbie house. But the looks on their faces when we drove up & walked in was absolutely priceless! Jamie was the best host, super responsive and so caring! I initially told her we were looking for something last minute to end spring break for our daughter who has epilepsy & is very restricted, along with our other daughter who has autism! She immediately responded and to set an environment that was sensory friendly by offering alternate cleaning supply scents and she offered to turn off neon lights incase that was an issue for Peitynns seizures. The attention to possible triggers brought tears to my eyes because… who does that? That was sooo understanding and nice! The attention to detail that she put into this house was truly unique! I know my girls enjoyed it, but I have to admit, my inner child was loving every moment of this weekend! We will definitely be back & are so grateful for the connection made throughout this process! Forever grateful for a wonderful weekend of memories that my girls will remember for a lifetime!

Candi, your review brought the biggest smile (and a few happy tears!) to my face! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was an absolute honor to host your family and help make sure the space felt comfortable, safe, and magical for your sweet girls (and your inner child!). Knowing that y'all made unforgettable memories here means the absolute world to me. You were amazing guests in every way, and you're always welcome back to your home away from home in Galveston!

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Pettiette Rhone

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Jamie, and I love seeing the world, which is why I'm thrilled to host you in Galveston!

My goal is simple: to give you the best, most unique experience possible.

I believe your vacation rental should be a destination, not just a place to sleep!

That's why I poured my heart into our iconic, fully immersive Barbie Beach House. It’s "TikTok loaded" every corner is a perfect backdrop for photos and group memories. I'm always available to ensure your stay runs smoothly!

Why they chose this property

The location is truly unbeatable! I chose this home because it sits at the heart of everything that makes Galveston special. You are just minutes away from the historic charm and excitement of The Strand’s world-class shopping and dining, yet also just a quick, scenic bike ride from the Seawall and the beach.

It is a friendly, walkable neighborhood where the island’s heritage is on full display. I love that you can feel the local pride in every historic home on the block. It’s the perfect home base for guests who want to experience the island like a local, peaceful enough to relax, but close enough to never miss out on the action!

What makes this property unique

What makes us unique? We are Galveston’s premier 'TikTok House.' Designed for the modern traveler who loves a pop of color, our property is a pink-infused paradise featuring curated Barbie-inspired interiors and professional-style lighting. We bought this home with content creators in mind meaning every room has a unique aesthetic, from the 'Glam Room' to the designer back yard area. If you’re looking for a property that looks just as good in photos as it does in person, you’ve found it!
