The Salty Dog is a wonderful vacation home and was exactly as advertised. The few minor issues we brought to the owner’s attention were promptly addressed and did not negatively impact our stay in any way. The home was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. The sunrise views were absolutely unbeatable, and the easy beach access was a great bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend The Salty Dog to others!

Home was as advertised. Right on the beach. Very clean. Wish area below house had been mowed. Underneath the house the lighting did not work. Had a great time with our adult children and toddler grandchild. Beach area was pretty private. Would rent this property again.

The house really had everything you need for living, cooking, cleaning, and beach fun. We stay at a lot of west end beach houses and this is easily one of the most well-equipped I e ever seen. Good layout, great location, and well worth the money. Would absolutely stay here again.

The Salty Dog was exactly as advertised. It was clean, well appointed, and right on the beach. We had a question about check in but had no issue getting in touch with James and getting the information needed. All communication was great. They provided enough paper products and plenty of towels for the house along with kitchen equipment. It was a fantastic stay and we will definitely be back!

House was as described. Communication was excellent. A/C unit was the best we have experienced during a beach vacation in Galveston. Host provided laundry soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, toilet paper (not just a half roll when you arrive) and trash bags. We usually have to bring those items or buy them when we get there. Parking was a bit tricky but we made it work. There is still some work that needs to be done underneath the house but that would not keep me from renting again. Rooms were adequate for our needs and the beach is right out the front door.

This property was everything it said it was. It was clean, well cared for and a great fit for our family. The location was also perfect, on the beach, far enough away from the crowds but close enough to downtown if you want more to do.Our host James was great. Answered all of our questions, very responsive when we had a need and was great to work with. We will definitely consider the Salty Dog for next years trip.

This is a nice property and beachfront location. Pricey considering the small uncovered deck up top and the lack of any kind of deck or concrete foundation below. Definitely lacking if it rains at all as there is no way to sit on the deck due to lack of any cover to speak of. Flooring issues in multiple spots. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.

The laundry was convinient, but the dryer didnt dry very effectively unless you pick the strongest setting. Communication with the host was effective and he walked me through fixing a tripped breaker after a stormy night. Some of the floors are damaged but other than that the stay was quite pleasant.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you had a pleasant stay overall and that communication with our host was effective, especially when assistance was needed after the storm. We’re always happy to help our guests navigate unexpected issues during their stay. We appreciate you bringing the dryer performance and flooring concerns to our attention. We’ll review both items and look into what can be done to improve the dryer’s efficiency and address the damaged flooring. Thank you again for staying with us and for your helpful feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back!

Great place for a family reunion. The house was clean and well-stocked. There was a grocery store just down the road with everything we needed. Highly recommend this property.
