The arrival and check in process was seamless. It’s in a great location when it comes to being near the beach and great food options. The house was just as described. Everything we needed was available. It was a great location to stay before boarding the cruise ship. 20 min drive to the port. We would stay here again.

Portions of the beach can be seen from the rental but it is just a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed our time at the beach with a few others there at the end of September. It was wonderful. The house was clean and the A/C worked. Not all rooms have ceiling fans but our smaller party didn't occupy the entire house. The two smaller bathrooms could use a few updates and maintenance along with water pressure. Overall we enjoyed our stay and look forward to rebooking in the future. You will get your exercise with the stairs outside and inside. Currently the house across the street is under construction.

Loved our stay!

The home is well-maintained and big! We also enjoyed having access to a private beach that is no more than a few hundred feet from the home. There is also plenty of parking space for multiple cars, and plenty of beds for a larger group. Loved our stay!

Large family beach house

Check in went fine. Small kitchen. Large burner on range don’t work. Maintenance concerns with dishwasher falling out, one of the spindles on the top porch was cracked, not good for children. Spindles on outside stairs loose, couch in poor shape, kitchen chair and table unstable. Bottom of bath tub seal open and rotting. Laminate floor coming up in kitchen near back door, sharp edges. Nails sticking up on the stairs. For the price, not a good value.

Needs serious updating…

Location was great! Plenty of sleeping space. One pack-n-play crib was new and clean, but the other was old and dirty. The pictures of the house were misleading. The exterior, the bathrooms, the living room furniture, all need repair or replacement.We would not stay here again until these items are updated.

Love the place. Nice, spacious, steps from the quiet Sunny Beach. Great location for what we were looking for. It’s a bit away from the busy part of Galveston and that’s what we were looking for. Will definitely return. One suggestion though, bigger bar of soap would be nice.
