We had an excellent stay at this property for our daughter's graduation from UTMB. There was plenty of room in the house for our family and the pool table was a great source of entertainment during down time. The beach is a short walk down the grounds and it is a very nice section of beach for Galveston. The area is quiet, which is important to us. All around nice place and nice area!

Amazing home!

We booked the home for four nights. Very easy to check in. The home was clean, nicely decorated and in a convenient location close to beach. Nicole was a great host. We were missing an item to make coffee and Nicole sent it to us immediately. We would definitely stay there again.

Weekend retreat

I couldn't say enough about this property or owners. This is by far one of the easiest rentals I have had to do. From booking to checking out, everything was so simple. The house is beautiful, and Nicole is very responsive. They provide games, chairs for the beach, a grill, etc... I would definitely choose this house if you are looking for a fun Galveston getaway!

Amazing, updated property close to the Beach!

This property was amazing and exceeded my expectations! I thoroughly enjoyed how clean the property was when we arrived. The elevator was very helpful for hauling luggage to the bedrooms on the third floor. The kitchen was huge and the house was fully stocked with cleaning supplies, towels, and cooking supplies. The two-car garage was beneficial for us and the owner was quick to respond. We enjoyed how this property was close to all the attractions and stores which was a plus for our group. I would definitely recommend this property and glady return!

Amazing Property

We frequently stay at VRBO properties while traveling. This property was amazing! The property is clean and well kept. The entire unit is beautifully decorated, the best we’ve stayed at thus far. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you need. The pool table and games kept us busy in the evenings. We were there during cooler weather so we did not spend much time at the beach. But if you’re there during the warmer season, you will enjoy that this house is literally steps away from the beach. Also, the huge TV was perfect for watching the game. We had an amazing time! Thank you!!

We enjoyed our stay. Family being together is what’s important It would have been nice to know about things that were broken and unusable before an hour before our arrival. The third level master bath being out of order would have been a dealbreaker. The garage door not working was workable. We just parked one vehicle on the street and kept our beach items on the bottom floor instead of in the garage.

Restful Break

Purple Sandcastle is a beautiful property and the layout and beds we super comfortable. My sons loved the pool table and retro video games too! Didnt rate 5 atars only because we found it difficult to open and unlock exit areas and were forced to walk around in the rain to the front porch. And there was no wine opener provided which was a bummer. But other than that- pretty cool house.

Large beautiful home close to beach

We booked this home for a family vacation and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. The home is absolutely gorgeous and in pristine condition! It is a four bedroom, 3 story home with a large open kitchen, huge island which opens to a large open living and dining area complete with a high quality pool table which our kids and grandkids loved. It has two bedrooms with King beds, one bedroom with two queens and a bunk room with 4 single bunks. In addition the home has an elevator which came in very handy when hauling luggage, ice chests, etc. up to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The property is only a short (100 yards or so) walk to the beach and the owners have even provided wagons to haul your stuff as well as beach toys, chairs, etc. In short we can highly rcommend this property for your stay in Galveston.
