This house was perfect for 2 adults and 2 teens. It is so cute and right next to a beach that feels like a private beach since it is off the beaten path. I would 100% rent this one again!

So perfect

The house was perfect for my family! It was exceptionally clean and organized. I loved the labeled cabinets and light switches, having a washer and dryer was priceless as well. The towels were fluffy, the beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook. The beach toys were perfect, being able to rinse off downstairs to keep the home clean was a huge help. The walk to the beach was just a couple of minutes and it is uncrowded and lovely.

Extra Nice and clean, quick walk to the beach--

We loved our stay here. It's a nice little place that's well arranged for a beach trip. The two bedrooms have queen size beds cozied up to a wall, on three sides, a fan, hooks for clothing and a pocket door. The front room has a trundle bed, a vinyl fold down futon, and a small TV. There's lots of outdoor decking and space below the house including an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The place may be on the smaller side, but it's well designed and lives bigger for sure. Also-- when we walked in, everything was exceptionally clean and cozy, better than most hotels. Plenty of towels and condiments and shampoo in case you forgot your own. Lots of hot water for showering--we never ran out. Also, having the little washer/dryer was really nice and we used that more than I thought we would After the first day, we developed a routine of getting up for a short walk on the beach, setting up our beach area (we brought a tent and a large sand-free mat with us) packed everything in the wagon stored under the house, and then we swapped out swimming or lounging around, heading back to the house when we got hungry. The house is on the second block from the beach entrance and we never felt like it was too far or inconvenient to go back and forth. We saw lots of other families doing the same. Everyone in our group generally conked out early, but the one night we watched TV in the main room, there was plenty of choice from both Netflix and other channels. Overall, it was just a really nice, comfortable, peaceful stay. Just what we all needed after this last year. Thank you! We'll definitely stay here again.

Sister Trip

We had a wonderful stay! The beach is about a block and a half Away which was a super short and easy walk for two “elderly” sisters. The beach is great with no cars driving on it in this area. The house was perfect with everything you could need. Comfy beds that would sleep 6 adults and then an additional double futon and sleeper sofa which would sleep 4 more. Everything was super clean and well appointed. There was even a blender and crockpot! Great internet and Roku tv. The perfect place for relaxing at the beach!

Cozy & Convenient

My family (2 adults & 1 toddler) had a great time at this property! It was cozy, convenient, and very child-friendly. It was so nice to be able to walk to and from the beach in a few minutes. My toddler also loved playing on the deck! (We as parents loved that the deck had latched door). The beach was quiet and uncrowded - exactly what we were hoping for.

Excellent stay!

As noted in the listing, this is a great house for a family (especially with young kids). The upper patio has gates that close (so little ones cannot access the stairs), there is a small table and chair set for kids to eat at and they have lots of beach toys. The house is a fairly short walk to the beach. The owners are great hosts and extremely responsive if you have any questions. One of the days was a bit stormy (due to the hurricane that was moving through the Gulf several hours south of Galveston) and the owners sent a message to check in on us. This was our second stay - we will definitely stay here again.

Great place!

This is a great house, especially if you are a family with young children. The house has everything you need for a beach trip and a great outdoor space (both upstairs and downstairs). As parents with young children, we were especially appreciative of the gates that blocked off the two sets of stairs on the deck. The owners responded rapidly to all questions I sent them via the app. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jenny

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married 21+ loving years. We have 2 beautiful teenage daughters. We have been residents of Houston over 40 years. We love road trips & visiting scenic destinations. My husband's most favorite leisure activity is fishing. Wherever we travel, his foremost inquiry is if fishing is available.

Why they chose this property

It has been my husband's dream to fish everyday when he retires. We purchased this house in 2010 after the historic Hurricane Ike. We recently renovated the house with an additional 200 sq ft and expanded the deck. The process took longer than expected, but after all the works completed, we totally LOVE it. My husband can now live his dream even before retiring, which is a wonderful blessing. My most favorite activity is walking along the beautiful clean beach looking out into the open sea. The sunset/sunrise view on the beach is absolutely breathtaking.

What makes this property unique

Our home is in located on the quiet west end of Galveston Island. Guests will be able to enjoy a quiet & relaxing time during their stay at our place. There is no passing through traffic inside the subdivision. Our young guests can safely walk to a semi-private beach within a few minutes.
We also have many nice and friendly neighbors in the subdivision. .
We recently renovated the house converting it from an efficiency into a 2 bedroom house. Although the bedrooms are small, we try to make the space as comfortable as possible for our guests. The newly remodeled home feature a spacious wrap-around deck, which provides even more open area for outdoor activities for all. There is an outdoor shower downstairs which is great during hot summer days.
We wish to welcome guests into our "home away from home". All necessary kitchenware and dinnerware are available for preparing delicious home-cooked meals. Other amenities include Wi-Fi, Roku TV, Netflix, Disney Plus, and local channels, DVDs, games, books and puzzles.
Lastly, we sincerely hope our guests will find the Sand Trout as cozy and comfortable as possible. We certainly have enjoyed all our stay there in Galveston through the years.
