Wonderful Stay

Our family spent 4 days in Galveston at this lovely home and everything was perfect. We spent evenings on the porch, enjoyed ping-pong, pool and Pac-man in the game room and made a great seafood dinner in the well stocked kitchen. Jose and Anna were incredibly responsive and answered any questions we had with such kindness. We will definitely stay here again!

Would stay again!

We all enjoyed our two night stay. Not too far from beachfront just a very short drive. We all enjoyed the new gameroom but one wall unit is not enough to cool for this time of year in Galveston. We bbq'd and had smores enjoying most of the amenities offered. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect for families

I have to say that I’ve stayed at many beach houses and this one by far was the best for families. The game room was perfect for the kids to be entertained. The yard is fenced in so knowing the kids were okay when playing outdoors was a huge bonus. The home was very clean and organized. Having the extras like the wagon, tent canopy, & beach towels for the beach was great. That was less that we needed to pack. The 4th room was the game room which is great for a teen who wants to stay up late or away from the adults. Absolute great experience!

Short Family Get Away

The place was great for our short stay. My three kiddos absolutely loved the gameroom and area to run around in. It was nice to have a fenced in backyard so I didn’t have to worry about my 4-year-old running away. The house had all of the essentials provided, including coffee, shampoo and laundry detergent.I appreciate not having to have that expense. One downside was that we didn’t have access to ice or water from the fridge. We did not bring any drinks with us so as this point wasn’t mention we in the original description. In the Texas heat, I would think that this would be essential to provide. Yet, the host was always good to communicate when we had concerns. One other thing that I would advise is to bring your own beach chairs. The ones provided were greatly torn, dirty and had bird poop in them. The sand toys needed a good going through as well so bringing your own would be advisable. Last, the surface of the place looked clean but as we spent time in the house… dust was piled up in places (… like on picture frames), metal was rusted in places and lights were not working. The house could probably do with a deep clean and touch-up of places. The games needed to be reorganized as well. Overall, it was a good stay.

Senior 2025

I got this place for my son and friends. I listed all of their names and ages. We had 4 cars and one day parents came over to take pics of the boys before we left to San Luis for professional pics and dinner. The ā€œneighborsā€ were complaing that we had 2 extra car & 3 adults there for 45 minutes. also that there were ā€œyoung menā€ on the patio. wow! yes the young men listed and the extra people and cars were immediately gone within minutes after i even explained myself to Jose via text/ what we were doing quickly. I still yet got another message regarding the same issue, so explained myself again via text and had been long gone. When my son and I got there Friday, there were 2 dead frogs at the front door and the whole area smelled like dead animal, so I had to get rid of them myself. The bbq pit is absolutely horrendous & not even 1/2 of the burners work so after 2 hours of trying to start it, bbq burgers and hotdogs I decided to hurry and let them finish cooking in the oven since i had 7 hungry young men to feed. the game room should be aired out completely because it smells like old and rotting moth balls combined w/eggs so we had to do that ourselves so the boys could enjoy it & run to buy some febreze to spray the rest of weekend.

Great location, responsive host

The location is perfect, just a 2 minute drive from the beach and it was so convenient having a corner store on the way. The house was very clean and in great condition. We had some minor issues during our stay and the host was super responsive and attentive. We didn't end up using the game room as much as we thought we would, but the main house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and multiple kids ranging from age 13-1.5 years old. We loved having the gate at the top of the deck for our dogs as well as the very secure fence around the grass. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. My family wants to stay here again next year!
