Fun house for a Galveston stay

Perfect house for a quick weekend getaway for my family to do a little fishing, hang out on the beach, and hit up local restaurants. The house was a comfortable fit for us and had everything we needed. We loved having the deck to hang out together outside (make sure you bring mosquito spray!). Also saw some prior reviews but wanted to mention the AC worked great

We enjoyed our stay at this home very much.

The home was very comfortable and clean. Location was awesome! Just takes a few minutes to get to the beach and all the restaurants and stores. My husband enjoyed fishing off the boat dock and actually caught some fish. Sitting out on the deck was very relaxing and peaceful. We woulld book this home again for a vacation in Galveston.

The best spot in Galveston

This place is quite literally the best spot in Galveston. It's not far from the strand or from the beach and the neighborhood is very inviting and relaxing. The deck is wonder full and the house is great for bigger groups. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Galveston.

Spacious, great location

The house has ample room to accommodate a larger party. We stayed with only 2 adults and 2 kids + our dog. The kids loved having room options! We loved the decks and water location. It’s close to Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, and the beach. Parking is easy. The neighborhood is safe. Recommend for a relaxing getaway.

This place rocked.

We decided last minute to spend time in Galveston to celebrate a family birthday and we’re lucky enough to Hager this place. It was warm, inviting, clean, well landscaped, fantastic back patio area. We were all relaxed when we left. Thank you Gareth for helping us make it a fabulous weekend. Only downside is Chiefs lost … but can’t hold that against them ; ).

Great Rental at a Great Location

This home has a wonderful outdoor space on the water and really, really close to Moody Gardens. We enjoyed our time hanging out in the patio and relaxing in the large living area. A big bonus was the high speed internet that can supported multiple users working remotely.

Lovely weekend getaway

Great location, on a waterway, and very close to Moody Gardens. We enjoyed the lovely indoor and outdoor spaces for our weekend getaway. Everyone spent a lot of time in the backyard oasis. We also took advantage of the extra sitting area in the Master Bedroom to allow two different tv shows to be watched and the upstairs loft office area was quite convenient as well. Nice amenities and great communications throughout the rental process. We would stay here again!

Nice accommodations for spectacular outdoor entertaining

The host was very responsive in communication and we had no trouble accessing the property. The kitchen was very functional and had a nice area to eat and entertain adjoined. The master bedroom has a wonderful view of the deck and water on the back side of the house. The master bedroom also had a really nice bathroom. Overall our stay was nice but there were a few issues with areas that were missed in the cleaning prior to our arrival.

WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD BEDBUG

Ive stayed in Galveston numerous times in several beach homes. This was the worst experience I've ever had renting a beach home. Upon arriving the lawn wasn't maintained like the pictures 2. Dishwasher had the house smelling like something died, with tons of flies all over the place. 3. Upon inspecting the beds, found a bedbug. 4. No curtains and furniture is in need of cleaning and replaced. 4. Food all in the chairs dining room chair's. Owner is not as welcoming as others that we've rented from at all. This was a nightmare! I had to take at least 1 hr trying to kill all of the flies, this was suppose to be a vacation. Paid for 3 nights and only was there for 2hrs at the most after discovering the BEDBUG. NOW IM HAVING A TIME GETTING MY DEPOSIT AND MY RENTAL FEE BACK.

Overall it was a lovely property in a beautiful location! When we checked in, there was trash left (see photos) throughout the house which wasn’t the nicest. But my friends greatly enjoyed the deck and were overall quite comfortable.

House is in a great location (however I’m not sure that short term rental homes are technically allowed in this neighborhood). Loved the upper deck on the water. House was cool in main areas but the bedrooms were a bit warm and we could only adjust temperature for a few hours at time and then it would increase again (so was up twice in the night bumping it back down to a cool enough temp). Everything was nice and clean. Kitchen is gorgeous and plenty of dishes. Beds are all very comfy!!

Very clean home, lovely environment. Only complaints were the appliances.

Over all it was a lovely experience. The outside hangout area was for sure the highlight, right up on the water with multiple spots to relax. My only issue was some of the appliances, the grill was rusted out at the bottom, so we didn’t attempt using it. Then we found some mold of a cutting board, and the upstairs right bedroom lights were out. Though all things that can be fixed, I understand how hectic renting out a property can be. The hosts gave a solution, and offered sending someone over to address the issues. Great communication, very clean place. Would rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
A recent transplant to the Galveston area in 2019, the owner loves the beach and water area and all that Galveston has to offer. So much on this little island it has to offer. Love to share the good times with guests that come to visit!!!

Why they chose this property

We take great care in our home and know that you’ll enjoy your stay, but don’t take our word for it – here are some testimonials from past renters:
‘Gareth’s home was even better than pictured! We loved the outdoor space and couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful place to end the day lounging outside. The home itself is beautiful and spacious with everything you need in the kitchen to cook simple meals.
We would happily stay here over and over again!’
-Josie stayed April 2022
‘This is a beautiful home with a breathtaking back yard and deck area. Was a very quiet neighborhood as well, which was a nice rest after the fun at the seawall. Highly recommend this place!’
-Kris stayed October 2022

What makes this property unique

Staying here will have you close to everything Galveston has to offer, all within a fifteen-minute drive. The home has been recently remodeled, in good condition and provides everything you need for your stay. The back deck and entertainment area is by far a favorite and provides a quiet and amazing oasis for your stay.
