Hosts and house were great and the view was awesome. The few negatives the hosts cannot do anything about other than maybe a blackout shade to block the neighbors lights in the back bedrooms at night. Weather was cold first few days but warmed up to perfect the rest of our stay. Walking on the beach was great. Unfortunately there were a few people letting their dogs run loose on the beach and not cleaning up after their pets. And some others that were doing doughnuts on the beach in their hotrod cars and trucks.

Awesome views. So close to the beach, made it so easy to make trips with all your items you need for the beach. They had everything you need at the house. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed staying there. If I had anything negative to say, was that the bed was a little to firm for my liking. But I would definitely go back.

Galveston Spring Getaway

We came down to Galveston for a few days of relaxation. We have stayed in the Bermuda Beach neighborhood twice before, but never directly on the beach. Loved the view! The house was clean and inviting. We appreciated the gate on the deck so our little dog was safe. The host was very accommodating. We would definitely consider staying here again.
