Summer Wind, Beachfront with incredible views! 5 miles from Galveston sea wall!

When we arrived the house had not been cleaned from previous renters. House is in need of some attention and much needed updates. We ended up getting another place due to lack of attention on things.

Owner was very attentive on being concerned. But when you plan a vaca for family and ends up in a mess as this its, hard to move 7 people around. I will not rent from a non managed home again. The pictures need to be updated on website. Theres homes everywhere now and the beach is not as shown. Very disappointing. TH

3rd time for us to rent this house on the beach. We loved it! The sunsets, sunrise and just lounging outside with the views is worth it all. Being directly on the beach hearing the roar of the waves, other vacationers on the beach laughter and music- ours and theirs was perfect. Plenty of room inside and out.

Our family of 8 stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the perfect "on the beach" location in this comfortable house. With 4BR and 2.5 baths it was just the right space for us. The multi leveled decks are spacious and breezy. The place shows some age and could use some repairs but it didn't hinder our enjoyment.

Our family reunion was a huge success at this perfect beach house. This was our second year to stay here. With a front row view, the 2 decks made it possible to enjoy watching our grandkids playing in the water from the house. Even inside the house, the large windows spanning the living room and dining area afforded a full view of the beach and waves. The house itself had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We cooked most days there because the fully-equipped kitchen (and large pantry area) made it easy to assemble meals and snacks. The 4 bedrooms were comfortable, but our family spent most days in the living room. A great vacation this year...with a hope of returning again next year!

We just got home from our stay on Surf Drive in Galveston. We loved the house! It is far enough from the main seawall strip to be away from the crowds, yet close enough to be near great restaurants in just a few minutes. It was as if we were the only people on the beach with so few people and the double layer deck was to die for...we are so glad we stayed. You sit on the deck and hardly see the houses around you. The house was clean and plenty of room for the 8 of us.

There were just a couple of things to say as a caution. We felt the kitchen could have used baking pans. We found a pan but it was small and not even a true baking sheet. Also, toiletries were very limited. We ended up buying soap, hand, and shower, and also shampoo. The paint could also be touched up throughout the house. The overall experience was great and this will be on our list when we come back to Galveston. Thank you so much!
