Wonderful Time

We had a great time being right on the beach. House was clean and spacious so we weren’t cramped in. Took the ferry to Galveston and a little shopping. Everyone enjoyed the ferry ride. David was on top of things when we had an issue in the kitchen. Really enjoyed staying at Shore Beats Work.

Shore Beats Work did not disappoint. Fantastic location right on the beach and a very nice house. Only issue was the mosquitos, but there was even a warning to come prepared with bug spray in the check in instructions! My family had a fantastic time this was just the break we needed. Thank you David!

All in 4 nights and 1/2 day stay!

Great vacation and loved being at beachside nearest to gulf. Semi-Privateness of beach was a plus also. Kids enjoyed beach boards and shell searching. Also ferry to Galveston and attractions there as well as restaurants there in Port Bolivar/Crystal Beach. Groceries handy at the Big Store and Dollar General. Loved seeing Pelicans and Seagulls fly over on the front deck and TVs in evening at bedtime. Kids loved feeding the birds bread and donuts! Comfortable rental and would like to return some day! Also 2 of our party did a fishing tour in gulf and we went on Dolphin Boat Tour with the children in Galveston - great for all!

The property itself was clean and you had most everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. It also passed the clorox wipe test as I always wipe everything down when we check in anywhere and so that was impressive. BUT the sheets.....they smelled clean but they were stained and that is an ick for me. I had a Super 8 flashback from when I was a kid but this is not super 8 pricing so the sheets need an upgrade but otherwise good.

Right on the Beach

Really enjoyed our stay. The house is in perfect condition and as close to the water as reasonably possible. Loved the comfy beds. Watched streaming movies each night on the large TV. Great wifi. Sat on the porch watching the birds and the waves. Will definitely go back!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Upon our arrival, we were blown away by the ocean views in such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The house itself was very clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location was the best part—on the beach, allowing us to enjoy morning shelling and walks on the sand.The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed. If you're looking for the perfect beach getaway, this is the place! I highly recommend this property and we will most definitely be back!
