  Perfect house for our family vacation. This was our first trip to Galveston, as both my husband & I are both from the east coast. It was an easy drive from Dallas, less than 4.5 hours, which was a nice change from flying, renting a car, etc. Our kids 4 & 7 LOVED the pirates crow's nest. The house provided everything we could have needed, beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, toys, games, books, etc. The walk to the beach took less than 5 minutes, and the kids never complained once. They even provided a cart to wheel everything there. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. The owner was VERY helpful & accommodating, and always very quick to respond. The house was very clean & well maintained. The listing and photos were very accurate. Palm Beach is not the fanciest beach, but perfect for a quiet family vacation. One night we went to the new pleasure pier in Galveston & our kids had a BLAST riding the rides, which was about a 10-15 minute drive. We will definitely be back!

  I cannot express how much we loved the house. It was full of neat surprises and it was so beautifully decorated and it truly felt like we had gone to Oz. The home is so comfortable and relaxing, and our 7 days flew by in the blink of an eye. The furnishings are top of the line as are all the amenities! The owners could not have been lovelier to work with. My family of five, three boys age 7, 10, and 13 and my husband and I didn't want to leave and we made some wonderful family memories at this home. We can't wait to go back! If a family is searching for a calming, relaxing home, then you have found it.

  The property was attractive and functional. It easily accommodated 5 adults- - we are parents of adult children. Kitchen was well-stocked. Master bedroom was a vacation in itself -- there are fun sink fixtures in both bathrooms! The view from the little porch (lanai), the deck, and the crow's nest was heavenly. We would go back again.

  Wonderful time! House layout lends itself to large gathering, small group breakout areas and/or private alone time nooks. Clear view of beach from master bedroom, living area and porch. All amenities provided. Quiete, residential street without "touristy" feel. Owner personable and accomodating leading up to and during stay. Weather great mix of cool nights and mild days. beaches with just the right balance of people and solitude. Would highly reccommend!

  We couldn't have asked for a better place to take our family of 5. Our kids (ages13, 11, and 2) had perfect accomodations, with the DVD player in their room, a full stock of movies for everyone's taste, and even a bedrail and highchair for our toddler! We really didn't need to bring anything except our clothes, because your home has everything. The beach was just a short walk away and so private that we felt like it was our own personal space. All the furniture and linens are high quality, the kitchen fully stocked with appliances, cooking utensils, etc.. and the beach theme throughout the housemade it even more fun. We are trying to figure out where to put a hanging swing at our house because we loved yours on the lanai so much. I still find myself wanting to sneak out to that space with a book to read to relax and listen to the waves. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and sharing your home - we can't wait to return! :)

  My sisters-in-law and I chose Oz by the Sea from on line and found it to be everything as pictured. Great house, fantastic views, comfortable living areas (the mattresses were exceptional). Katherine was a lovely hostess and receptive to all my calls about various things. The large deck allowed us a great gathering place to laugh and enjoy the great views and the beaches were perfect for those long walks and long talks as we are all from different parts and rarely get to spend some time together. We had great food in town ( Landry's) (a short drive) and a great visit to Moody Museum. There are lots of activities for all ages yet you never have to leave the house as Katherine has provided every creature comfort that one may need. I would recommend this house to all my friends and look forward to our next visit. Thanks, Katherine

  This home was phenomenal. Completely surpassed our expectations. You automatically feel at home when you first walk in. All the extras provided (bed rail, fans, children's seating, easily accessible washer/dryer. etc.) were a fantastic bonus and all the whimsical decorations just added to the fun. Listening to the waves hit the shore at night was the best and most relaxing lullaby I had ever heard. We were there over the long weekend and the beach traffic was low and the people that were there were friendly and fun. We ate all our meals at the table outside on the large deck where we could see, hear and smell the ocean. Our daughter loved going up to the crow's nest and pretending to be a pirate. She had an amazing time. When we arrived back at our house she asked us to go back to "our other home". I would definitely recommend to a family looking for an easy, laid back experience where you don't have to stress out about remembering every little thing to bring as the chances that the items are already there are quite high and if it's not, it's only a few minutes to the store. Katherine answered our emails promptly and was very friendly. I want to thank her for offering such a truly amazing beach house. We are already trying to find out when we will be able to return.
