Great stay!

We really enjoyed the Surf Shack. It’s a small house but very cute and with a nice backyard (which our dog appreciated). Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The house has everything you need including towels, plates/cups, and most importantly GREAT A/C! You’ll be about three city blocks from the Pleasure Pier and seawall, so bring comfy shoes and it’s an easy walk to the beach.

Very nice property

The house and property manager were great. My husband and I were able to walk from the house to the seawall. The location was close to almost everywhere.

Galveston Surf Shack

Property was as described and very clean. Really enjoyed the fenced in yard for our dogs and the fire pit with firewood. Was kinda bummed when internet was totally down for 24 hours, which means no tv service. Location and ease of walking to beach, places to eat and drink where a plus.
