We had a fantastic stay! The location was absolutely perfect—the boardwalk to the beach is right beside the home, making it incredibly easy to get to and from the beach. And the beach views were probably our favorite part. They were amazing!The house worked perfectly for our group of eight. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Everything was very clean when we arrived and looked just as it did in the pictures.The host was also great—very responsive and easy to get in touch with whenever we had a question.We had an amazing time in Galveston and made some great memories here. We would absolutely recommend this home, especially for a larger group looking for plenty of space, beautiful views, and easy beach access. We would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves back in Galveston.

Perfect for a family weekend

We loved our little weekend here as we could fit our family (with several kids) in the kitchen and living area and every bedroom had a full bath access! The beach was right there and felt like a private beach! We would definitely recommend and stay here again! The owners were so helpful and accommodating! Great at communicating, too! Thanks for a lovely weekend! Can't wait to come back!

Place was clean. Furnishings are good looking and simple. Proximity to the beach and downtown is great. Any issue we had was promptly taken care of by the management. Would book again. Cons: No elevator, potential construction next door.

Fabulous family weekend!

Mai was an extraordinary virtual host. Communication was outstanding with helpful info at exactly the right times. The home is beautiful with modern décor. It has the essentials, as well as a few games and puzzles. The gulf views were beautifully even on the less-than-perfect weather days.

What a Way to Celebrate your 95th Birthday

Beautiful home with picture perfect view of Gulf. Front row seat to watch ships come and go. Just minutes away from great restaurants, The Strand, anywhere you wanted to go. Highly recommend. Our Hosts were only a text away if we had any questions or needed assistance.

A perfect beach family vacation

This house is beautifully decorated and very clean! We enjoyed the big living area - kitchen, dining and sitting area with the lovely beach view. The 2nd floor patio area was great for hanging out in the shade while watching all the fun out on the beach. The walkway was so handy. We used the first floor area for cooling off and showering after a day at the beach. Having all of the beach equipment at the house-chairs, canopy, wagon- was very helpful. This was our second stay at this house!

New Year- 2021

We (family group of 15) have stayed in Galveston 4 New year's in a row. This is a beautiful property, beautiful views, lacking nothing! Mai and Tom are the best part - answered all questions, easy to work with, checked in on us by phone and Tom even came over on New Year's Day to get our TV working again after a lightning storm so we didn't miss any college football! Mai sent back an item we had left in the closet. House is close to town and all amenities. Beach is close and clean. Perfect!

Another excellent vacation in Galveston

Our family of 10 visits Galveston every other year for a beach vacation. This is the second time we’ve rented from this company. Both of the houses have been fantastic for our family. We found that the descriptions online matched what we found in the houses. Perhaps even more important, the owners are very responsive to any communication regarding the properties. I invariably got a call back within minutes I’m sending a note to the owners. They even called us about an hour after we checked in to confirm that all was in order. We will definitely consider their houses for our next vacation and Another excellent vacation in Galveston.

Perfect

The property was beautiful. We were 8 adults and the place had 2 large couches in the living area and a large dining table. We came to scatter my parents ashes and it was perfect. The house was right on the beach just east of Stewart Beach where my parents spent time when they were young. It was really close to restaurants, the Strand and the Pleasure Pier. We did have an air conditioning issue, but I called Mai. She and her husband called their repair person, then brought over portable air conditioners. The repairman came right after and fixed the issue. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Family Christmas Vacation

This house simply can not get any better. It exceeded every expectation; comfortable beds, great living space, well-equipped kitchen, plenty of linens and towels just to name a few. The location, the beautiful beach and the Gulf view are outstanding. We arrived just before Christmas and just after a very rare hard freeze for Galveston. The freezing wind and the low temperatures froze the water pipes despite every and all precautions taken by Mia and Tom. After many calls for assistance and working for hours trying to resolve the issue themselves, we had water!!!! Their concern and attention and determination to make this a good vacation for my family was incredible and I can never say enough good things. Thank you so very much!
