Hurricane Ike has caused significant damage to the neighborhood. Luckily, Southern Comfort faired well with damage mainly limited to the area below the house. We have replaced the garage and the outdoor shower. There was some damage to the kitchen floor, so we went ahead and replaced the kitchen floor and the countertops, so the pictures shown are a bit outdated.

Come experience Southern Comfort's incredible views and relax to the sound of the surf. Enjoy the views from nearly every room in the house. Hang out on the main deck (with sun in the morning, shade in the afternoon), or the side deck (shade in the morning, sun in the afternoon).

Prefer the beach? You are just a short walk away. When you are finished with the beach, clean up in the outdoor hot/cold shower.

Enjoy your privacy? Southern Comfort is located between a private cul-de-sac to the West and an open lot extending to the beach to the East.

The newly refurbished decks will provide parents a piece of mind, with a latching gate at the top of the stairs and closely placed balusters to avoid injury.

We have spent to past two years updating Southern Comfort to make it as enjoyable as possible. With new furniture in the family room, new carpet and window coverings throughout, updated fixtures and bathrooms, new roof and new exterior paint, this beach house is truly our pride and joy.

So come and experience a relaxing vacation at what is sure to become your favorite beach house.

    • We stayed at Southern Comfort for 7 days in March, 2009 - family of five, with kids aged 11, 8, and 3. Galveston was still recovering from Hurricane Ike but we decided to go ahead with our stay after a chat with the owners. We are thoroughly glad that we did so. The people were friendly, the beach house was great, the beach itself was not crowded, the restaurants in the area were excellent. We visited Moody Gardens, the Schlitterbahn Waterpark (a definite destination for kids), Johnson Space Centre, etc. Joe's Crab Shack is a great informal seafood place and a goldmine for unique t-shirt souvenirs. The owners of Southern Comfort were extremely helpful and the place itself was wonderful - great taste in music and movies as well. One can still tell that the Hurricane blew through last fall but the clean-up is well underway. The whole family was glad that we went ahead with our stay at Southern Comfort. We hope to be back.

    • The house is great. Well stocked and roomy. The view is great, and getting to the beach is just a short walk. The beach is nice, as it is not crowded like the public beaches. The outside shower has warm water which is nice on a cool day. I would definitely like to return.

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Southern Comfort and look forward to returning! The house is an easy walk to the beach and has gorgeous views throughout. Kitchen stocked with dishes, utensils, and good cookware - we cooked dinner everynight and had everything we needed. The owners are as pleasant as the house.

    • We really enjoyed our weekend getaway at Southern Comfort. The house is nicely furnished and maintained and has the latest in TVs, DVDs and CD players for those times when it's too hot or rainy outside. The beach is very close, and seems cleaner and less crowded than the larger developments. We even enjoyed the porch swing in the cool shade under the house. There was always something to do.

    • The house was clean and very accommodating. Just a stones throw from the beach with a great view of the gulf. Plenty of room for a family with kids. Well stocked with all the necessities. The owners are as great as the house itself.

    • Southern Comfort is a great home base, located on the west end. We all enjoyed the beach, which was not at all crowded. The home is comfortable and well cared for. It lacks for nothing, right down to the hammock in the shade.

    • We really liked staying at Southern Comfort! It is a lovely, cozy home with relaxing views of the beach. This was our first time, but we felt so at home. Our two boys didn't want to leave! It was hard to go home and we look forward to returning soon.
