Stayed here with kids and grandkids. The location is an easy walk to the beach. There is plenty of space for energetic kids/grandkids. The kitchen was well equipped and large enough for multiple people to help. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing home for a large, mixed, family. Plenty of room for everyone and comfy beds! The ocean was visible from the balcony, easily walkable to the shore, and included beach toys to boot. Well stocked kitchen. Everyone in our party from 77 to 2 years old was happy to stay there and would again. Warm, welcoming home. Amazing neighborhood!

This was an excellent house for our family’s Christmas. And to my surprise, the house had a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations! It was a very comfortable and roomy house and the little amenities, like coffee and filters was great. It is also in a great location, close to the Strand and the beach. I would definitely stay there again.

Roomy beach house was great for our 3 generation Galveston vacation. So close to the beach that smaller groups could come and go. This is a century old Craftsman house that was updated a few years ago with large public rooms upstairs and downstairs. The fenced backyard was great for 5 little boys. Communication with the owner was good. We would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Ellis

Host profile image
My husband and I have always loved Galveston and have owned property there since 1984. We have been bringing our family here for years and have watched it grow. We never get bored here there is always something going on. It is an amazing island from the historic district to the new Pleasure Pier. Our grandkids also love the island especially Schlitterbahn water park and Moody Gardens.

Why they chose this property

Bought this house so I can sit on my porch and see and hear the ocean. Loved the location near the parade route and lots of restaurants! I also love living behind the seawall.
