Relaxing and enjoyable stay

The house has great location, on a short dead-end street, right on the beach with easy access. A great grocery store and diner within walking distance. 15-20 minutes from Galveston proper.

Quite getaway

Very nice and clean house. Easy access to the beach. Love the view from the covered deck. Wish the grill would have been there and the washer and dryer would help with wet clothes but overall it was well worth the price and will rent again.

Great little Beach house

Clean and very cute place. it’s older but had a homey feel and was very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Relaxed and enjoyed listening to the waves. I have no complaints at all. Owners responded to our question about the internet very quickly. All was good and I’d stay there again.

On the Beach

Nice little beach house for a couple or small family wanting easy access to the beach. The covered deck is amazing with a great view! Accommodations are older and very basic, for example there is no dishwasher, but we enjoyed our time there. One caveat, the bathtub and bathroom floor are extremely slippery when wet!

Great location, quaint house

House is cute. The location is great. The host was super easy to reach and communication was great. There was an odor that would come and go, I am not sure if it was the house itself, or if it was from the plumbers that were working on something 2 doors down, but the host had maintenance out first thing the next morning to check it out (keep in mind, i was texting the host at 11pm, so the next morning was 100% above and beyond). I am sure the host would fix anything they could if there is a problem. There was a pretty severe storm with high winds and this little house is super sturdy considering it is on stilts and right on the ocean. To the host, i would say thankyou for a lovely stay.

We had a great beach stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The location is perfect for us, with stunning gulf views and direct access to the beach. The hose was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax after a day in the sun.The hose offered a great balance of comfort and convenience, with nice amenities and nearby restaurant and market. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation. We look forward to returning in the future!

This property shines due to the proximity to the beach. The house is quite small and a bit dated but we knew that from the reviews. The porch was the best part - watching and listening to the waves at all times of day with coffee, a book, dinner, etc - BUT the covered portion does leak when it’s raining

Perfect beach cottage!

This was absolutely the perfect little beach house! Right on the beach, very cute interior, porch was half covered so you could sit out in the middle of the day, outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off before going inside….Owner was fabulous in helping w/ a missed cleaning before we checked in. Cannot wait to stay here again when we want a quiet, peaceful stay at the beach!
