This was our second time staying at this house. Everything was perfect. Cleans rooms, plenty of dishes, pots and pans for our group. Fishing off the dock is fun, and the sunsets are beautiful. I love that the house is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston, but plenty close to stores and public beach access. The host quickly responds to messages.

The host was very communicative. The property was great. We were a group of 5 children under 13, a small dog (12 pds) and 6 adults. The view is beautiful. 5 minutes to the beach, 10 minutes to town. Thank you.

Very cool beach style home on the bay! Able to sleep a lot of people. We could have slept our family of 5 in just 1 of the 4 bedrooms.House was very clean and host was extremely responsive. We will definitely be staying if back in the Galveston area.
