We had a great relaxing few days at Yolanda and Doc’s beach house. Very cozy and welcoming with the beautiful views from every room in the house. The close proximity to the beach was a plus! We walked the beach and played in the water. Located outside of Galveston/Seawall proper near Jamaica Beach, this home gives the peace and quiet our family needed with easy access to go back “into the city” for adventures. Yolanda was so accommodating with our traveling timeline. This house is perfect!

Property was as described. Far away from the chaos of the Sea Wall, but also very close to the beach. The house was clean and had lovely decorations. Beds were nice and comfortable. The two decks were amazing for nighttime relaxing and star gazing.
