Nice Weekend Getaway with Family

Our group of 9 (4 adults, 5 kids) really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect - close enough to get to all the things we wanted without being in the middle of a downtown. Access to the beach was fantastic.Host was quick to respond.

The communication with the host/property owner was very responsive. The house was super clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed to prepare meals. We enjoyed the buggy ride on the beach. Will stay again.

Perfect house

This was our first time renting on the east end and the house is a perfect location. Just a very short walk to the beach and so close to many restaurants ands activities. The beach was nice and quiet and the golf cart was a nice bonus!! The house was very clean and well equipped. Our kids really enjoyed the hot tub and the massage chair. We would definitely love to come back and stay here again!

Quiet island getaway

Steven is a great host and the he house was exactly as expected from the pictures. Clean. Quiet. Away from all the usual beach crowds but, close enough to everything that mattered on the island. Wish I could have stayed longer but, will definitely book with Steven the next time around.

Great family getaway!

We booked this property for a family getaway with our adult children. The property was great with lots of space for us to hang out. Great location near the beach and Seawall. The property owner was very accommodating and responsive to our questions.

Fantastic location!

We had a wonderful stay January and February 2022. The location of this home is fantastic - walkable to the Strand and the Seawall. The house is well set up with everything we needed. The hot tub on the back patio was appreciated, especially on the cooler evenings. The beach is so close and sunrises were epic. Dustin is an amazing host. He responded right away to any requests and made sure that we had all the information we needed. We highly recommend this lovely home as a beach destination in Galveston!

Perfect spot for family

Get the benefit of a beach house on the west island with the convenience of proximity to the city and attractions there. Gate out of back yard to public beach access is a key benefit to this house. We had a great stay. Good layout for kids too with two masters and two kids rooms.

Great House on the Beach

We truly enjoyed our stay for the Thanksgiving holiday. The home is a great layout and had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving meal. We loved the downstairs area and large yard, and what a bonus to be able to walk right out to the beach! The amenities were great - we especially enjoyed having all the tv's and channels available for college football and the seating areas on the porches to enjoy the beach breeze. Dustin had great communication and answered promptly when we had any questions. We definitely plan to book again!

Perfect place!

We rented this property during a family wedding and it I was just perfect. We enjoyed the access to the beach, and plentiful parking for a small gathering of more family. We had plenty of space and hot water for everyone to get ready for big events. Relaxing on the decks, in the hot tub, and in the massage chair was an added and much appreciated bonus. The instructions were detailed and owner responded quickly to a question. The location was perfect- easy access to town without Seawall traffic but a quieter area.

Great location and house

We had never stayed on the East side of the island but this house definitely put this area on our radar for the future. House was clean, had several beach accessories in the garage for the kids and a great yard/set up for the dogs. The house location to the beach and food/attractions was excellent!
