Cute house literally steps from the beach! Easy to find. Ocean view was nice, quiet neighborhood great for families.Barbara was great at communicating and answered quickly. Overall we were happy with our stay just a few things need fixing. Front door key code does not always work (maybe needs a new battery), deck had a few pickets missing and needs repair if young children are staying there, housecleaning could be a little better around toilets smelled like strong urine.

The house had everything we needed. It was in a great location and very peaceful. Easy walk to the beach and the gated deck was perfect for having our dog outside to “people and dog watch“. Perfect location if you’re looking for a relaxing place away from the typical tourist traps. We will definitely be back!

Everything was amazing. We go to Galveston every year and the whole family agreed this was 100% the best place we have stayed by far. Easy access to the beach. In a place that’s not too crowded, and the place was nice.

The hosts are wonderful, kind, and responsive. They really put a lot of love into this property to make it a true home away from home. While the downtown area can be crowded, this is in a quiet neighborhood with a private beach feel. There are miles and miles of beautiful shoreline literally only a minute's walk away. At its busiest, we saw about 15 other people on the beach at any given time. But, if you want night life - a short 20-30 minute drive down the seawall will take you to all of the hot spots downtown.Unlike other properties we've stayed at, they provided hotel-style shampoo, conditioner, makeup wipes, soap, and more. Every amenity one could need is provided. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay will be comfortable. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Darin and Barbara Hilton

Host profile image
We live off the Island but close.We renovated this home in 2012. We love to visit Galveston often and take advantage of all it has to offer through out the year. We consider this our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We love the Palm Beach neighborhood. It is a small community. The beach is awesome here. There is no car or golf cart traffic on the beach. Limited parking makes this community quiet and rarely crowded. Friendly people everywhere!

What makes this property unique

Our house is very comfortable and spacious. The beds are very comfortable. If you want to get out of the sun , you can cool off downstairs. A nice breeze flows through and there is good seating and a swing. A downstairs rain shower/ with hot and cold water is very relaxing. Also a private dressing room and toilet. No need to bring the sand inside.
