The house was fantastic and the views were amazing! We had a great time walking the beach and relaxing. The kitchen had everything we needed. I loved the upstairs sitting area for our daughters and their friends - this meant we could relax without being disturbed downstairs. The towels and bed linens were fresh and soft and the beds were all comfortable. Will stay again!
Beautiful property, and the host is very responsive. Will stay again.

Best view ever!
We loved this beach house. The proximity to the beach, the view, and the deck are the best!! Will definitely stay here again.
We loved the beach house! Beautiful home and everything was as promised. This was our first time in Galveston and on the beaches of the gulf. The deck on the house was amazing to sit out on and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach and water.
My family and friends had a wonderful time at Life’s a Beach! It was very clean and well appointed. It was so great to be right on the beach!
