Absolutely adorabe get-away!

We fell in love with this SunSaytional va-ca-get-away! It is such an adorable, fun place. They thought of everything, and we had a blast! The owner is a great guy, and exceeded our expectations. The convience of the location is great. It has a great back yard (totally fenced in) that you can hang out in. Also, the idea of having the Carriage House (over the garage apartment) available, for MORE people.....love, love it! The Carriage House is decorated the same as the main house....adorable! They also told us of all the "PET-FRIENDLY" RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS in the area that our 4 legged son (dog) got to go out to eat with us & stay all day....even walking on the strand & going in the shops. We were blown away. The town of Galveston is VERY pet-friendly, it even has a bakery that you can get home made "doggy bones"!! It was just my husband & I this time, but now we want to book this house every year for our family to come stay, and enjoy Galveston! Being a native Houstonian, we have stayed at MANY Galveston locations. This is HANDS DOWN our VERY FAVORITE EVER! Can't wait to book it again! A MUST SEE!!

We just got home from spending Thanksgiving in this unique and fun house and have nothing but good things to say about the home- and the owners. There is plenty of room to spread out and relax as well as a fully stocked kitchen to prepare pretty much anything you may want to make. The beds are very comfortable, as many others have stated. The location was also really good for this time of year- kind of midway between seawall attractions and the Strand. We walked to the beach every morning and still had time to adventure in town. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We celebrated my parents' 50th anniversary in Galveston and this house accommodated our entire extended family of 11. I will have to be honest, I was worried when driving up to the house because the neighborhood appeared run down; however, once we got inside and closed the door, it didn't matter where we were because the house is very charming!! The description was accurate and the decor was very beachy and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We even grilled in the backyard one night. Loved that the owners have thought of everything...towels, soap, trash bags, laundry detergent, etc. It made it very nice to have a washer / dryer to be able to wash the beach clothes and swim suits. The owners were very accommodating and answered all of my many questions prior to visiting. I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FRIENDS AND WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK MYSELF AGAIN VERY SOON!
Owner response:We were pleased and honored we were able to share our home with you in celebrating your parents 50TH ANNIVERSARY ! Happy you all had a great time. Look forward to you staying again ! Thanks Patrick and Madonna

My family stayed here when my son got married. We rented the house and the carriage house. Both were wonderful. They are decorated so fun! It is within walking distance of many things, which we loved. I loved that we could all hang out and be together for this special weekend. The house easily accomodated all of us. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to stay close to the beach and enjoy lots of close family time. I am so glad I found this property.

Wow, we couldn't have found a more perfect place to stay!!!! We have a very big family that came from different states on different dates. Our friends recommended this place to us and we are so glad that they did, it was PERFECT!!!!! Location, location, location we were in walking distance to everything! We could even hear the beautiful sounds of the ocean. Between the soothing sounds and the awesome mattresses I slept like a baby!! This home had every amentity that one could imagine. Loved all the extra towels, blankets and having a washer and dryer at our disposal. The decorating was gorgeous!!! The colors were so bright and beautiful it lifted my spirits and it was immaculate...cleaner than my home!!! The owners were wonderful to deal with and they were soooo accommodating! The price was right too. The kitchen had more bells and whistles in it than my own kitchen. The carriage house in the back was a lifesaver and it was just as beautifully decorated as the main home. Our kids had their own place to hang out in which allowed us adults to have even more peace and quiet. We loved relaxing on the front porch and visiting with the neighbors. Even got a few good "Texas" recipes. We will recommend this place to our friends and we plan on staying there this summer as well. So, please block our dates NOW!!!!!!! Thank you for making our MUCH needed vacation a slice of paradise!!!! Your new "Yankee" Friends!!!
Owner response:Thank you. Looking forward to having you come back to our wonderful city, and for using Sunsaytional and Funsaytional as your family retreat.

We stayed here for a weekend and had a wonderful time. The place is decorated with bright, fun colors. We had a birthday party here for my daughter and her friends. They had loads of fun. The listing description and photos were accurate. The property was clean and well-maintained. The owner was very helpful in answering all my questions. I would recommend this property to a friend.

Patrick, Thanks for letting us stay at your fabulous house. It is just as you'd picture a beach house. It was so much fun to hang around at the beach and then have a nice house to come back to, instaed of climbing all over each other in a hotel room. You and Madonna did a great job. Thanks again and we left some sand toys and a little boogie board to add to your collection. Bryan, Amy, Bella, Bethie and Nate. Olathe, Kansas

What a fabulous place to stay. The decor is awesome. It is clean, and the kitchen is fully stocked with great dishes, pots and pans, etc. Close to the beach, great restaurants. The kids had a fabulous time at Schlitterbahn. They had never ridden segways. Grat time was had by all. Cathy
