The house is amazing and everyone loved staying at Drift Away. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood with the beach a 3 or 4 minute walk to the beach. It is a short drive to Moody Gardens, downtown Galveston and historic homes. We loved the decor of the house and sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine and listening to ocean. We all agreed (from 12 to 70) that we needed to visit again and stay at Drift Away. Thank you to Eric for being a gracious host.

Had a family get together with our two daughter's families including 5 grandkids aged 9 to 13\. We were all "wowed" when we entered the house. Gorgeous house and so well stocked. So many wonderful things about the house including an elevator (great for bringing boxes, suitcases, etc. up and down to the cars...easier and safer, too), top notch Weber BBQ grill which lit very easily, lots of beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, lots and lots of beach toys for kids, plenty of boogie boards and two carts to haul things to the beach), a kitchen that was stocked better than any of our houses back home, a refrigerator we all want at our houses, comfortable beds, top notch washer/dryer, more TVs than I could count, games, garage space to park 3 cars out of the sun, lots of room within the house and did I mention gorgeous? We had the best time and the house/amenities clearly made our memories sweeter. ##### Bob Y. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy M. 30 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We absolutely loved our Thanksgiving stay at the house - the place is spacious, clean, and the kitchen is fantastic for preparing meals. The balconies are lovely - we enjoyed watching the diving ducks! The elevator was perfect for my elderly parents - it is so hard to find a place with minimal steps in Galveston, and this fits the bill perfectly. The location is so convenient - near grocery stores, restaurants, and Moody Gardens. I would definitely stay here again, and would recommend to friends. ##### Amy M.
