Beautiful beach decor, comfortable beds, great location, nice little street…it was perfect for our family. We come to Galveston every year, and I will definitely want to stay at Sapphire Shells next year! Thank you so much for having us. ##### Leah R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel B. 13 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly as Advertised It’s a very well appointed house that was thoughtfully outfitted with everything you’d need. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The owners text and respond quickly. I have nothing bad to say about the experience. I only have a couple of suggestions: please consider slow closing toilet seats. There were a couple of loud bangs in the night. Lastly, it would be great if you had a step stool for young kids to reach your tall sinks in the bathroom. ##### Daniel B.
