This house was perfect for our large group! Our ages ranged from 8 months to 85 years old, and everyone had a great time. Just a heads up — the pool area could be a bit risky for young children, but that’s clearly noted in the listing, so we came prepared. Kitchen was solid, but if you’re cooking for a big group, bring some of your own kitchen stuff (no blender, for example). Overall a great stay.

We had a fantastic time this past weekend. There were 12 women - celebrating our 17th Summer to do a weekend “Gal’s Trip” and your place was perfect! Plenty of room to spread out. Having the second kitchen/fridge was extremely handy, since we did a lot of our own cooking. The outdoor area was IDEAL for hanging out and catching up! I would definitely recommend this place to larger groups.

I'd had this listing in my vacation folder for Galveston for a few years. I finally got the chance to rent this for the weekend and it did not disappoint! It is so spacious for a family group you never feel like you're on top of each other. The host have done an amazing job of supplying everything you'll need for your stay. The back patio is the gem of house our family had so much fun in the pool, fishing, and all the water amenities (pedal boat, paddle boards). I don't want to leave out the game room. The pool table, foosball it was a great space for the family to hang inside. The host are probably the best communicators I've ever rented from, getting back to me for the big and small things so quickly.

Gary & Rebecca were amazing hosts. The pictures do not do the property full justice, as it is much more beautiful in person. The kids were fully entertained for the five days from the wonderful pool to the fully equipped games room. The sunsets are awe inspiring and the waterfront such a tranquil setting. Gary & Rebecca were amazing with any questions and provided a stunning welcoming to the home with music, lights, wine and snacks. It really felt like they cared about making sure we enjoyed ourselves and we certainly did. I highly recommend this home, we will be back some day!

We were a group of 14 women fresh off a cruise ship and unable to drive home due to inclement weather. The hosts were wonderfully accommodating including supplying 2 cases of water because they were concerned we wouldn’t be able to find any in the stores since all of Galveston was preparing for the cold weather. The house has a wonderfully quirky decor and suited us perfectly. Can’t say enough good things about our experience.
