The home was lovely, well stocked and just a block and a half from the beach. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and we enjoyed the enclosed driveway area. We were able to set up a rudimentary pickle ball court there. We would stay again and would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic Stay!! Honestly the cleanest house I have ever stayed at in Galveston. There was an issue with the ac and it was fixed within an hour. Loved the fenced yard! Would book with them again!
This beautiful little beachy house was the perfect fit for our quick getaway with family friends! Thank you for sharing it - we loved this home.

Why thank you Katie! We are thrilled you loved our Lollygaggin' beach home! We appreciate the 5-stars, compliments and you being such lovely guests to host! We hope to have you back!
Enjoyed our stay in Galveston as always. The home was very nice and very clean. The beach is about a 10 minute walk. The beds were very comfortable and the A/C worked great. The fenced in yard was a big plus for us since we had our fur babies with us. Wish we were still there.

We're glad the annual Walker trip to Galveston was a successful and comfortable one for your group including the pups! We look forward to having you back again next year! :). Thank you for the 5-stars and being such great guests to host!
Enjoyed our time at Lollygaggin! Would have liked the outdoor TV to have worked. Also the light in garage did not work. Overall it was a great stay. Thank you so much!

We're so glad you enjoyed your time! Thank you for the 5-stars and being such wonderful guests to host. We are not aware of any issues with the TV nor lights, perhaps it was just a switch? Regardless, we will check them out. We hope to have you back again to do a little lollygaggin'!
Me, my wife, and kids loved this property. By the second day they were already calling it home. Each room had its own tv which the kids loved. Perfect for when me and the wife want to wind down after a day of exploring the island. House is very open. We used the fire pit downstairs for s’mores one night. Garage had beach chairs (like 6 of them) so no need to bring yours of staying here. Master bed was super comfortable. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Sounds delightful, thank you for sharing your family's experience Travis! We're so glad you enjoyed your SB time at Lollygaggin'. We would love to have you back!
The home had been recently updated so everything was clean and new. There was actually decent cookware in place too. As stated, six minute walk to beach. We had two other couples join us for part of the day Saturday and there was plenty of room at the big table and bar for everybody to eat. Only a small family sized charcoal grill, so I had to cook everything in three batches. I will definitely come back to this house with the family again.

Thanks so much for the 5-stars, compliments and feedback! We would love to host your family again!
I stayed here in May 2025 with my husband, 1 year old son and my Labrador retriever. We absolutely loved the house! It looked just like the pictures and you could tell it had been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. I had to knock one star off because there is a big safety concern with the deck. Several of the balusters were loose (visibly unattached from the bottom of the deck) and if you tapped them, they fully pushed away from the deck. I couldn’t let my 1 year old walk around on the deck which was a huge bummer. If this issue is resolved, we would stay here again!
Beautiful updated house close to beach and easy drive to Galveston
House was perfect! Even better than pics. Everything looks brand new. Walk to beach was super easy and fenced in upper deck, below deck and yard were fantastic since we had our fur babies with us. House was small but open and didn’t feel crowded at all. We didn’t need them but the double bunks in one of the other rooms seemed extra tall and roomy. Only complaint I have and it wasn’t a problem, was the washer and dryer were super loud and we had to be selective when we did laundry because you couldn’t hear the living room tv. Minor issue. Don’t like doing laundry on vacay anyway…lol. Literally everything else was great! Oh and the primary bed was so comfy we are thinking about buying the same one! We will definitely rent here again
