Graduation Trip

We brought my daughter and a couple of friends to celebrate her graduation with a Beach trip and we had a BLAST. The house was perfect, clean and just far enough from town where we could enjoy the quiet. The owner was available for questions, but our stay was seamless. We will be back!!

Just Relax

This is an exceptional property. Very clean and very well stocked. The owners were very thoughtful in what is provided for your stay. This is a very comfortable property if you are looking to just sit back, relax and enjoy your surroundings. Communication with property manager was always quick and reliable. I look forward to being able to rent this property again Hopefully for a longer stay.

Our stay was very nice over all with only minor areas of improvement, but not enough to do any stars. Communication was great. General cleanliness was great. Location was awesome. Dog friendly for our service dogs and one in training was phenomenal. Only suggestions I would make are having cleaning supplies available on site. We didn't have any dish soap in the kitchen or all purpose cleaner to wipe counters with. We did have a dish washer and cleaning pods, but sometimes dish soap was needed. The place was very clean and well kept. Matresses were on the soft side but the pillows were great! The bathrooms were clean but could have been a little better. Overall, we would stay here again in a heart beat! I highly recommend and love the location.

The host was quick to respond. The house was very spacious and nice, and I loved the decor! Very comfortable seating arrangements. The house had everything we needed. My only suggestion is to bring a few extra towels if you have a big group (we only had 3 people, so it worked out ok) and a wagon for the beach. We were able to purchase a wagon from Academy, but if you don't have one and want to walk to the beach - a wagon is an absolute necessity. The beach was not crowded, and easy to get to. Our stay was in July 2026.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel and Monica Lovasz

Host profile image
We’re a retired military family and have proudly called Texas home for the past 14 years. We have two children—one is in high school and the other recently graduated from university—as well as two friendly German Shepherds who keep life interesting.

Although we both continue to work full-time, we make it a priority to escape to our beach house for a few weeks each year. We love spending time outdoors, whether it’s enjoying nature, relaxing on the beach, or simply appreciating the peaceful coastal lifestyle.

We hope you enjoy your stay and come to love this special place as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

When we were looking for a beach home, this community immediately stood out. It has a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, with many full-time residents alongside families from larger Texas cities, like us, who enjoy spending weekends and vacations here.

We love that it’s peaceful and just a short walk from the beach, while being far enough from the busier areas of Galveston to truly relax. The private community beach and swimming pool are wonderful amenities that make every stay even more enjoyable.

We hope you’ll enjoy the neighborhood and everything it has to offer as much as we do.

What makes this property unique



We wanted to create a place where guests could truly relax and feel at home. Our property combines the comfort of a private retreat with easy access to the beach, making it perfect for families, couples, and friends looking to unwind.

The home is located in a quiet, welcoming community with access to a private beach and swimming pool, away from the crowds but still close enough to enjoy everything Galveston has to offer. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee on the patio, spending the day at the beach, or relaxing after a sunset walk, we hope you’ll find it to be a peaceful getaway.

We take pride in maintaining the home as if it were our own and are always looking for ways to make each guest’s stay comfortable, memorable, and stress-free.
