the ultimate location for our extended weekend stay! Immaculate views of the beach, sunrise and sunset! The balcony views of the beach were unobstructed and gorgeous! Property was beautifully decorated and well maintained! Had everything we wanted for a beach getaway! Hosts response was immediate and warming. Location was on point- beach access, private community - very close to restaurants and the strand. Highly recommended!
A wonderful house with excellent views of the ocean. Lots of decks with plenty of sitting for groups and tables. Good grill. Beds were comfortable with quality bedding. All appliances worked and were in good condition. Air conditioning was great. Have nothing but good things to say. We enjoyed our time together!
What a great family trip! The house was beautiful and spacious! The pictures do not do it justice. The location was wonderful. Close to all restaurants and the strand. The view and amenities were wonderful. We hope to get to come back! Yhank you for everything!
This is a great house for a multi generational family or a group of friends! Lots of seating inside and out. Plenty of space to spread out. Convenient to the East end of Galveston. Views are spectacular!!! Will definitely stay here again!
Overall our stay was great. A lot of things were damaged or broken ,but the house was beautiful and well designed for large families.The view was amazing. We noticed mouse droppings on the first morning under the stove and contacted the host. Their response was quick and they sent a cleaner out. There were no more issues and we assumed the previous night storm had brought in a mouse. I would recommend this property.
One of our best rental experiences. Property met/exceeded the listing and associated pictures. Fully equipped from kitchen to bathroom suites to beach fun! Configuration was perfect for our 4 couples and two infants. Had some basic baby needs (pack n’ plays, bassinet, high chair). Beach access is an easy 10 minute walk from the house via private boardwalk. Wagon allows you to haul beach toys/games. Kroger is ~10 mins away to stock up. Owners were very nice/responsive on a couple simple questions we had. Definitely will stay here again.
This was our favorite Galveston beach rental. Very nice house with a good setup for multiple families. Our teenagers loved the upstairs loft area with TV and a ping pong table. Adults all loved the comfy downstairs TV area with large windows looking out onto the beach. It’s in a quiet neighborhood. To get to the beach you walk about 5 minutes down the sidewalk to a wooden bridge with a code and then you’re at the beach. I liked that it felt very private and secure. It was nice to have some spices and condiments and extras like beach towels and beach toys. Definitely a winner of a house!
My husband and I had a large group of teenagers for a birthday weekend at the house. Lots of room to spread out in the house and the upstairs space was perfect for the kids hangout. The pool table got lots of use. I cooked 8 meals for 15 in the kitchen and had everything I needed including things like spices, tinfoil and plastic wrap. The location of the house is great. The kids all enjoyed the nearby pier while the adults had dinner at the porch cafe. Beach access is two houses down. There’s a green space out front of the house perfect for throwing the football around. Plenty of bath towels and even beach towels provided! We used the laundry room - detergent is also provided. The owner is very responsive. A great property perfect for a large group. I’d happily rent it again.

Review
The property itself was large and beautiful. The grill area which, our guests commented looked "slummy and trashy with dirty cushions piled on top of each other". Since the grill and beach chairs were included in the add, it was very disappointing. The grill was rusted and filthy and not fit to barbecue on. The chairs that we expected to be able to take to the beach (as advertised), were rusted out and unususable. This was extremely disappointing since we paid almost 10,000 with taxes and fees for 3 nights! We wound up asking a guest from Montgomery to bring chairs and purchase the rest. There were 13 of us. A big part of renting a beach house is to be able to enjoy the beach. We wound up with 6 chairs for our whole group.
Since the house is large, beautiful and able to sleep 12 comfortably, we would like to visit again when the elevator is installed (2 of us are handicapped), and a new and clean grill is available in a clean and attractive lower patio. It would be nice to sit in a comfortable area while food is grilled.
Otherwise, we ha e to lug barbecued food up 3 flights of stairs.
In addition to resort appropriate beach chairs
I loved this property. The host was very accommodating, polite and considerate. This house had so many amazing details in the furnishings and all that was supplied in the bathrooms and kitchen. I highly recommend this property.
House was the perfect size for our family of 12! Well stocked kitchen and snacks when we arrived. The host was very responsive to our requests. Located in a very safe area. We loved our stay!
Great House for our Beach Blitz soccer tournament!
We had 5 families staying together for the Beach Blitz soccer tournament on East Beach. The house was beautiful, spacious, and the layout was awesome for a large group, plenty of room and more than enough bathrooms, towels, and linens. Thr kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes that allowed us to cook large meals. The private beach was awesome and a short walk to the entrance. We had the best time!
beautiful beach house- like new with all the features you can ask for. Had a great time with my family and my brothers. Also close enough to walk to restaurants and stores or short drive.
This property was one of the best places you could rent. The property was absolutely lovely and couldn’t have had a better location on Galveston Island.
My family stayed in this beautiful home and it had everything they needed, as well as a responsive and kind host! Great view, as well, and well stocked. Thank you!
We had a great time over the Labor Day weekend at this property. The place was spotless and very well stocked for our party of 14 ppl. The owner completely went out of her way to accomadate our last minute request to rent the golf cart. There were a few hiccups, the dryer was not working but it was ok since we were there for only 4 days. It was a holiday weekend so we knew it would be hard to get somene there to fix it. However, The AC thermostat did go out while we were there but the owner had someone there in within a few hours of being notified on a holiday weekend and it was all fixed. Would definatley rent again if the oppurtunity presents itself.
Loved staying at this property! The house is the most beautiful we have ever seen and is so close to the beach. Loved waking up to the view every morning. Would love to stay again, but it's so popular you have to act fast!
My family and I have stayed in several different places throughout the years and this was by far the best so far. Perfect location, amenities and layout. The owners were extremely responsive and understanding of all our needs. I definitely want to go back soon.
