Great stay at the Hermosa!

Our stay at the Hermosa was great! Clear view of the beach and there was a pathway right to the beach. In unit washer and dryer was really convenient and host provided laundry detergent. Good amount of towels provided and house was well air conditioned plus fans and window units.

All About BEACH Access and Views

If you want beach access just 50 ft away, this is your place. The Aggie neighbors may keep you awake, so be prepared to call the Sheriff. They are quick to tell them to turn it down. Other than that it was what we expected. This place is for those who want to be outside!! Plenty of space and privacy to enjoy the Gulf!!! Bring extra toilet paper and beach towels, otherwise all stocked up. We enjoyed the Kayaks!!

Weekend Getaway

Very easy walk to beach. Comfortable beds. Beautiful views of ocean from deck with nice Adirondack chairs. Needed more than a steak knife to cut up a watermelon— but other than that the kitchen had what we needed. No place to store snacks and pantry items, but everything worked out ok —we left snacks on counter top. Bedrooms are very bright at night even though there are blinds. Streetlight still came into our room. There are 2 windows in primary bedroom up high towards ceiling that let in a great amount of light making it bright even at night. Surprised at the amount of noise at night and early morning from cars on the main road (house is close to main road). High winds definitely make the house sway and move. We paid $250 pet fee and ended up not taking our dog. I advised host we were not taking our dog and the $250 was not refunded. It says non refundable pet fee but believed that was if we cancelled the whole trip. Be careful of this— if you choose not to take your dog you will not get the $250 back! Very disappointed to lose $250. Host did offer us another night stay, but we could not stay another day. We paid $150 for pier access but ran out of time and host did graciously refund the $150–very happy about that refund. Host was responsive and answered all our questions. Overall the home served our purpose and we enjoyed Galveston very much.

The hermosa house is awesome very clean, very comfortable, All the beds are very comfortable. Maria is prompt in getting back with you. And right out the back door is the beach. Very relaxing, and not far from anything. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We used the fishing pier and Maria gets the deposit back right away. Again we will be staying at Hermosa House next summer.

Was not what was expected. If you don’t plan to be in the house much you’re ok but definitely not a very useful space for 12 people. Had to go buy toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags & ice to keep food cool because the fridge couldn’t keep up. House & everything is definitely out dated & could use an update. For a house ON the beach, be prepared to bring or buy your own beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas,etc. Hopefully all of the things we bought & left will be available for the next guest. Watch fine print for additional fees.

It was just okay

The house wasn't as clean as we expected. We had to clean as soon as we arrived. The furniture is not very comfortable. The home definitely needs a refresh as far as appearance. We really enjoyed the deck and how close we were to the beach.

Location iffy

We arrived after dark and couldn’t find our house. I would suggest that the house numbers be lighted. I thought we were getting a house on the beach. There was one house in front of ours but we still had a good view of the beach. I guess beachfront means the beach is in front of you rather than the way I took it to mean on the beach. But that was a miss interpretation on my part. It was a very short walk to the beach which was good. We were there for my granddaughter’s cheer competition at the convention center and that was the only real inconvenience. The location of the beach house was 14/15 miles from the center which was only bad because we had both morning and evening competition times so we had to make multiple trips back and forth each day. Again I knew the distance to and from but when you have to keep going back and forth it does get a little tiresome. But none of this was any fault of the owner. The kids enjoyed everything so that’s what matters.

Great location

Love the proximity to the beach. Really fabulous. It was well advertised. The beds were extra comfortable too. I wish there was an ability to get some blackout curtains. All rooms were really bright to sleep in. Towels were really nice too - thick and big. The cleanliness was just ok - there was lots of dust on the baseboards and the sinks were quite clogged and throw pillows really seemed to need a good wash but it’s a beach house so you don’t always get folks that stay here full time. Bring outdoor deck furniture. It’s more benches so hard to kick back and watch the beach in a bench. Bring everything for food that you may need. Not much more than salt and pepper but it all worked for our small group for cups, bowls, utensils etc (would have been hard with a bigger group though) Bring everything for bathrooms you will need - soap/shampoo/conditioner etc but did have hairdryer. Cell service is spotty. It’s an island so if you are coming to work I would make sure to bring all your connectivity you need - but her Wi-Fi was quite good and TVs were really nice with Dish TV available.

We are a professional couple with a thirteen-year-old daughter and two dogs living in Dallas TX. We like traveling, music as well as the arts.

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase a beach house in Galveston TX after we bought our first beachfront condo in Seascape back in 2010 and fell in love with the island. We wanted an updated place that's just a few steps away from the beach. And we found it with our "Hermosa" Beach House. The location is perfect!

What makes this property unique

Sea Isle amenities such as pool, tennis court, playground, pier, marina, etc
