Perfect for a Group Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the beach in this beautiful home and John was a fantastic host. Any issues were solely our own fault for not clearly reading the instructions on opening the door and the wifi password, so sorry about that John:). We most enjoyed the big chairs to sit out on the deck and the private quick access to the beach. The house had everything we needed and was as described. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Nice place and a fantastic location

John was very quick to reply and very thorough. The house is nice but not for couples as it has one master suite and the rest of the beds are bunk style so if you have a lot of singles or kids, that would be the ideal situation. Fantastic deck with part of it shaded. Would definitely recommend!

Nantucket Vibes

The house was perfect & had almost everything we needed right down to floss pics! I've stayed at different homes before where they said they had everything & believe me; this home had everything. There was plenty of room & a plus for us was that our parents who are in 70's& 80's didn't have such a hard time going up the stairs. Some are so steep, that it makes it almost impossible. Was far enough out of Galveston that it wasn't crowed at all, but still close enough to everything that you could run to the store or go to the Strand in a very short time. The little bridge was great, not just for easy beach access, but was perfect for family pictures. Looking out over the balcony in the mornings watching the sun come up, the view gave a definite Nantucket vibe . Already booking for next year.

Newly renovated house right on the beach

The home has been newly renovated with fresh paint indoors and out, plus a fantastic master bath with jetted tub and rain head shower. It feels very bright, airy and cheerful. There is ample sleeping space without feeling cramped. Best of all, it's right on the beach with a crossover just off the porch for easy access back and forth all day. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating and will respond immediately to any questions and bend over backwards to make your stay pleasant. I would definitely come back!

Galveston Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this Galveston property. The house is located at a beach access but it doesn't pose any problems for us.We were able to get a safe distance from the cars. We loved the decks and views.Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We did inform him of broken chairs, toys, etc on the bottom deck which were left by others. views. The grill was not usable but we did bring our own. We had a great week here.

Literally on the beach. Amazing sunrises and sunsets.

The beds had been changed from the photos on the listing which caused some initial concerns but was quickly resolved. The home was very convenient for our group and allowed us all the ability to stretch out comfortably. Home owner was very communicative and responsive with me. Only one snapfu with a missing key for the front door shutter; which really had nothing to do with us, but I like to be thorough and make sure I left things as listed/required. Overall, I was happy with our choosing this location.

Multigenerational stay

We were so happy with the location. Not more than a football field from the beach. We went to sleep hearing the waves crash, it was great! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a vacation rental with a better stocked kitchen. The listing mentions sofa beds, but those were quite well-used, the mechanisms were misaligned from overuse, and the mattresses are the 3” older style. Only 2 of the 3 sofa bed mattresses were even usable, the third is falling apart and badly stained. Also, 3 of the four bedrooms list multiple bed options. One of those 3 is set up in a way that makes it best used by kids, not couples, so be aware when booking. You’re not really getting space for 4 adult couples in this 4 bedroom house. The owner was very responsive to communication. There is some paperwork to complete in addition to paying your reservation, and I would like to have had that a little earlier in the process…trying to deal with that after driving 8 hours the first leg was rough. We did appreciate that when we reported a small issue at the house, he had someone get in touch with us to resolve it right away. We were able to make it work, and we loved the memories we made together. The area is quieter than Galveston, but close enough to access the amenities like the amusement park and restaurants.

Sharks, lots of beach traffic, beds not as stated.

The house itself is okay. Great view of the gulf but there is a shark problem due to the fisherman who line up right in front of this house. One morning we counted 17 fisherman in a row right in front of the house. We saw 3 small sharks being caught during our stay. There is drive-up beach access for a very small stretch which is right in front of this house so this is where the fisherman come and lots of cars going in and out. This is obviously not the homeowners fault but keep that in mind when you are renting this house, it might not be a good place for you to stay with children. The reason we chose to rent this particular house was because in addition to the bedrooms, the listing states "We sleep 14 in beds and another 6 in the 3 brand new queen sleeper sofas". On the morning of check-in, we received the check-in instructions and in the info about check-in, it stated that the pull out sofas were broken and that we would have to take the mattresses off and put them on the floor if we wanted to use them. We rented this house because the adults in our party wanted their own beds and we did not want to sleep on the floor. Had we wanted to sleep on the floor we would have rented a much cheaper place. We should have been made aware that the sofas were broken as soon as the owners knew about it and given the option to cancel our reservation, instead we were told the morning of our stay which left us no other option than to go ahead and stay there.
