This property was perfect for our little getaway! Loved the location because it’s near the beach and restaurants and after a long day of exploring the pool in the backyard was amazing! We’d love to stay here again and highly recommend it.
We had such a fun time and the house was perfectly what we needed for a beach getaway. Easy walk to the beach, even for our littles and we all LOVED the pool. Hope to return again next summer!
We had a super fun time! The pool is small but was a great way to cool off after a day at the beach (after you shower off in the outside shower) or shopping at the strand.
The house is comfortable and clean! Also close enough for an easy walk to the sea wall.
The place was beautiful, clean, and had a fun vibe. The pool and backyard were amazing and it was such a close walking distance to the Seawall/beach. The house was stocked with everything we needed and it was nice to have the private guest house. Kelly was a fantastic host - super proactive and responsive. We can't wait to come back!
This place is awesome! Beautifully decorated, comfortable furnishings, extremely clean and modern. We always stay in a hotel but this week decided to go for a whole house for my small team. This house was perfect for us! Will definitely book again. Thanks Kelly!
The house was perfect size for our group. Every couple had their own room and bathroom. There was a small heated pool that was perfect for soaking in the evenings. It was a short walk to the ocean and restaurants. The owner was easy to contact and responded quickly whenever we had a question. We will definitely come back.
We decided to stay here on our trip to NASA. It was a great choice. The drive was easy and the best part was having our own pool! The heat was sweltering and the pool made the entire stay enjoyable. The owners were very responsive. I recommend!!!
This rental was perfect for enjoying my 60th birthday celebration with friends. It was close to the sea wall and the Pleasure Pier and so many great restaurants. The soaking pool/hot tub was perfect for relaxing with cocktails in the evening. The construction next door was much further along than indicated by the pictures in VRBO, so there wasn't any noticeable noise that we could hear. Kelly was a great host....very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.
Enjoyed this adorable house for our last summer hoorah before school starts back up. We came to the area to go to NASA but did not want to stay in Houston. This property was perfect - the beach was truly a super short walk and the pool was made for perfect relaxing evenings. The host was very easy to communicate with, and very responsible to questions. The house was clean and well stocked- we were very happy with our stay.
What a beautiful property! We came here as a getaway in the off-season month of October. The house was comfortable and cozy with lots of windows to let the sun and breeze in. There were tv’s in every room - just a relaxing paradise. We took walks to the seawall which was only two blocks away and ate at local restaurants. There were so many places to eat close to us! Oh and the pool! Such a quiet, intimate space in the middle of such a busy area. Any time I needed to ask a question from the owner, a response was delivered in a timely manner. We would definitely look to stay here again next time we come to Galveston.
