Really nice spacious home! This house had every amenity we needed. A big, well equipped kitchen, and AC that worked, spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The private walk way to the no public beach access, beach was wonderful. On the a busy weekend in June we were 1 of 3 families over about a 300 yard stretch of beach, honestly probably the biggest perk!The parking is a little tight, so just be prepared if bringing multiple cars, and no elevator, so being your muscles :-) all in all a really nice stay and would stay again!

We loved the location. The view of the water and sound of the waves added to our stay! It was very well stocked with all the necessities! The air conditioner worked great and was nice after a long day in the sun! And there was plenty of hot water for a family of nine! We would definitely stay in this beach home again!

This house is everything it is advertised to be! The views from the upper and lower deck are stunning and it’s just a short walk over the bridge to the beach. 3 generations, including 2 toddlers, had a blast! The home is clean and well appointed with lots of kitchen implements. Stackable washer/dryer and games for the adults and kiddos. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay and hope to be back again!

Literally can NOT go wrong with this place

The house, location and hospitality were everything I hoped it would be and more. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were OUTSTANDING but the big surprise was all of the beach gear at our disposal. Everything from kayaking to sand castle building… this place had it all.. I highly recommend this house

perfect weekend getaway!

Great house. The view from the 2 balconies were fantastic. Great place to relax and we had the beach to ourselves. The house was immaculate. Just has advertised...new, clean and spacious. Wasn't expecting a memory foam bed and I had the best night sleep. I would highly recommend this house and I look forward to going back this next summer.

Great property

This is a great place for multi-families. This was our 7th year renting different properties and this was the best yet. We had plenty of space and the beach was quiet so we felt as if we had it all to ourselves. It was clean and had everything we needed. The owner and property manager were awesome and quick to respond with any questions or issues. Thank you! I would highly recommend!

Great place

The house was great. We were told no vehicles were allowed on the beach in front of the house but the beach patrol did nothing about cars driving on the beach. NOT the fault of the property owner. Definitely would stay here again. 3 families: 6 adults & 3 kids. Plenty of space for everyone. Adults all had king beds

Perfect Location - parking meh

The house is amazing! Layout is perfect for multiple families, plenty of room, very clean. The outdoor shower with hot/cold water is a huge bonus. Beds were all comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. There is absolutely nothing bad to say about the house or location. Just one phrase of caution: parking is tight. Two cars are fine, three is ok, but more than that is tight.

Family reunion

The house and view were beautiful. We all enjoyed our stay. We liked the rocking chairs on the main balcony. My only suggestion would be to raise the height of the railing as the bannister was at eye level blocking the view. ( I realize the height of the railing is by code ). Bar stools would also work.

Great Place!

Salt + Light was a blessing! Our family getaway involved 4 generations from age 1 to 86, and this home worked well for everyone! Terrific location! So close to the beach. Comfy beds and big kitchen. Stairs were safe to navigate. Powder room on main floor was perfect. We loved your soaps throughout!😂 Property managers were extremely kind, helpful, and very quick to respond throughout the process from booking to during our stay. We've rented several places in Galveston, and this is definitely a favorite. furniture

Great beach house!

We've been renting beach houses for 30 years and this was, without a doubt, the cleanest! It truly was spotless. We loved the well stocked garage area with the kayaks, boogie boards, coolers and tons of beach toys for our grandddaughter. It's rare to have a rental with nice non-stick pans and very clean dishes. It was nice to have both diahwasher and laundry detergent provided. Another benefit of this house is no motor vehicles can use the section of beach in front of the house.

Beach Gathering

Property was slightly less than expected. While the kitchen is great, beds very comfortable, and there are loads of beach toys and paraphernalia, the porches are not overly comfortable and the cracked deck chairs need replacing. The biggest disappointment was that the advertised car-free beach was anything but. The beautiful views were ruined.

A Family Favorite Four Times and Counting

We’ve stayed at this property four times. Each of these times was just as wonderful as the first. Everything works as expected. The beds are comfy. The living room is fantastic. My SIL and I both got really into smoothies…I brought my own blender, but it went unused because the house had two different blenders that worked fantastically. We also decided to do “sloppy chicken” (like pulled pork, but with chicken) one of our nights. I brought a slow cooker, but again, it went unused because the house had one (no timer) that did the job!All this to say, check the listing to see what appliances the home has. I’m certain if it’s listed, it works as expected. That’s just how well the house is maintained. Can’t wait for next year!

Weekend trip to the beach

Our overall experience was excellent. We phoned the homeowner when we discovered the walkway was partially overgrown. He did his best to get this remedied, but it was a neighboring rental group that took care of the issue. Also, the beds were harder those those to which we are accustomed, so our sleeping experience wasn’t the best. But the new owner was a jewel with whom to work, and responded almost immediately to questions. We couldn’t have asked for kinder landlords for our weekend trip to the beach! We previously rented this house and have always enjoyed the amenities and responses from the homeowners! It is exceedingly well-stocked!
