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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie & Jeff Homeowners

Host profile image
We have a large extended family and they're very important to us! We love being with our family & friends so we built this house to accommodate large family gatherings.... We hope you all will love and enjoy being there as much as we do and come back every year with your family! Sincerely, Jeff & Jamie

Why they chose this property

We will continue to be incredibly detailed in our housekeeping procedures, including the deep cleaning of all surfaces and linens during the turnover of each home....Thank you again for your interest in our vacation rental! As mentioned and would like to reiterate that this House is THE BEST RENTAL HOUSE LOCATION IN GALVESTON! Next to Stewart Beach and with all the happenings in Galveston. Unlike most other Rentals in Galveston, they're about 30 miles away isolated on the West end of the Island with a small grocery store & gas station. Not this House! We're near all the happenings of Galveston! Not to mention the 3 Master Bedrooms w/ King Beds and Ocean Views. The open layout of this House is great for entertaining. You won't be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

Occasions such as parties, weddings, receptions are not allowed. We do not rent to prom groups, school or graduation groups, fraternities or sororities with or without adult supervision. Any use of the property for purposes other than family vacations must be addressed with homeowner. Any violation of the above mentioned policies will result in immediate eviction with loss of entire rental amount.
