We had such an amazing time. The location was perfect. The home was beautiful, but most of all the communication with the Property Manager Pablo was outstanding! I’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and have paid more for accommodations, and have never had the immediate replies and friendliness. Thank you Pablo. We’ll be back and we’ll be looking at one of your other properties on the same street to bring more of our family next time. My son and I went for a 3 night short get away for his birthday and to take our fur babies to swim in the ocean. You can’t beat this location. It’s literally 150 yards from the beach. An easy walk we took several times a day to take in the sun and relax. The home is equipped with everything you need. Everything was in perfect working condition and so cozy. Beds are extremely comfortable, furniture and decor were just the right mixture of beachy, yet classy. Thanks again Pablo. I’ll be in touch after the New Year to plan our next stay.

Our family wanted a relaxing beachfront getaway and that’s exactly what we enjoyed at this rental. My communication with the property manager was exemplary! He was timely in responding when I had questions with my planning process and was helpful getting our plans to work out due to our schedule. I would definitely recommend this rental property.

Great Father’s Day weekend

Lovely beach house with a perfect location—no power/telephone lines running across the view, no cars driving on the beach here—walk right out onto the beach and enjoy! All the amenities in the house and any minor problems quickly addressed by the owner. We all loved it!

Very nice home with a great location and beautiful!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house. The location is perfect for a quick trip to Galveston, yet away from the crowds. The beach in front is pedestrian only and quite clean and the windows give you a beautiful view of the ocean. The home is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is very well stocked. The only downside was that we could not open the doors from the bedrooms to the decks due to rusty door knobs. Pablo was very easy to work with and very responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Great beach house!

The house was great. I would actually stay there again. It had great beach access and good amenities. It was clean and the bed was a plus, but we did see small ants here and there. We came right after hurricane Beryl so the mosquitos were crazy ridiculous. The internet didn’t work at times and we lost power at night but everything was resolved quickly and it was expected because of Beryl. It didn’t stop us from having fun. The host was accommodating and responded quickly and we will definitely be back. Great location. Quiet beach. Good for families!

Best stay in 20 years

LA LUZ is a well-designed, well-maintained home. It is the best and most thoughtfully equipped vacation home we have rented in Galveston in more than twenty years of annual visits. Very clean, right on the beach, and the management is proactive. We lost power one afternoon, and Pablo, the property manager, was right on the ball keeping up informed of Centerpoint Power's progress and projected restoration. While we had no children in our group, La Luz is arranged and equipped to fully cater to families with kids. We'll be back.

House is great, right on the water

This house is great, right on the water so easy to carry all your stuff to the beach. The kitchen has most of the stuff you need to cook and the house has a grill that is great for cooking. I would recommend getting a digital lock so that we don't have to go to town to pick up the key before our stay. I have stayed at other VRBO's that did this and it made getting in and out of the house much easier with the additional guests. I would also recommend keeping more necessities like paper towels, toilet paper, and dish soap.

Fun, Relaxing Beach Front Vacation

My husband and I booked this beach house to get away for four days, the two of us, our two sons, daughter and law and our four year old granddaughter who stayed fully entertained our entire stay. The beach house is beautiful, comfortable, cozy and very clean, and inviting. They thought of everything, extra fans, blankets, pillows, games, hammocks, even sound machines in the bedrooms. There are shutters on the bedroom windows to darken the rooms for great sleep. The layout of the house is perfect. The balconies provide the most beautiful views and give a nice, airy feel with pleasant cool breezes, and the beach is just a short, convenient walk away. It was great to be able to spend time on the beach and not have to pile into the car to go back and forth. We had a great and relaxing stay, and will definitely be returning

Great Space and Home - Even Better Property Manager

Family of 5 - twin 11 year olds and a 7 year old. House fit us well even at 1300 or so square feet. We always look for proximity to the beach with no cars allowed and this was great. House was well positioned about 20 min south of Galveston and didn’t allow any vehicles on the beach which is great. The home had sooo many beach toys for the kids including a bunch of boogie boards which the kids absolutely loved. Grill was brand new. House was oretty clean overall although it doesn’t seem like it gets a ton of activity. There were a few issues during our stay but Pablo, the property manager was absolutely amazing. He had to come out twice, had to get a plumber out once and needed for someone to come out once to fix the storm shutters. All of the work was done promptly and without any interruption to our stay. He made this experience that could have been frustrating an absolute pleasure given his responsiveness. Thanks a ton Pablo for being a great host to our stay. We caught tons of hermit crabs. I caught a lot of fish. A great vacation overall. Thanks a ton.

Great access to the beach

The decor was cute and colorful. The kitchen was well appointed with new and state of the art appliances. The house was smaller than it appeared in the photos. The primary bath was quite large with a double sink vanity. The only negative was the size of the shower……very small. The neighborhood was disappointing. Older houses mostly. It was quite a long drive into town.
