Very clean. Right on the beach, amazing views. Lots of bedrooms, there were 10 of us and we were all comfortable. We cooked our meals in the well stocked kitchen. Lots of beach chairs, toys, and equipment. We will be back!
Clean house on the front row with great views. Plenty of beach toys and chairs for the family. Great location close to restaurants and stores. Would definitely book again.
Spent a long weekend here with our adult kids and grandmother. Three generations. The house was perfect so us. Having beautiful weather helped as well. Those who didnt want to go down to the beach had a beautiful view of the ocean from two side of the home. Large windows and expansive views. The house had a grill which we used. We did not use the beach toys/chairs as we had our own. We would definitely rent the home again for the space alone.
Great house with plenty of room for a large family gathering. We had an awesome trip!!Love the porch off the main room, nice a roomy and plenty of setting for all.
A great place for a vacation. Well furnished from necessities to decor. A great location right on the beach. Hosts quickly responded to all questions, and checked during stay that all was ok. Definitely would recommend.
The house was definitely a 5 star house! Super clean and the best views ever! Kitchen has everything you need and our host Mark was outstanding! We will be staying here for years to come! Highly recommend!
Whispering Waves was the best home we have stayed at! Super clean, on the beach and the house was lovely! Family really enjoyed it and will be booking for next year!
The house was beautiful - great layout and very well maintained. You cannot beat this location - right on the beach and 10 minutes from the main stripe yet in a quiet area.
We really loved the location! Right on the beach and close to town. The home was the perfect size for us. We had 3 adults and 2 kids... everyone had their own room.
Lovely property right on the beach. Great for families and a short drive to all the activities in Galveston. We had a wonderful stay and would book again! Lots of room for a big family.
Your house is beautiful!!! Our stay was perfect!!! The rooms were perfect for our family, the porch was a great place to spend mornings! All the extras you offered made our stay even better!! We hope to stay again next summer!!!
We rented the house for a company meeting/retreat, and it didn't disappoint. Very clean, kitchen has a great variety of supplies which isn't common, and the house was in a great location. Everyone commented on what a perfect place it was for our getaway! Thank you!!
We love this house!!! It is fits our family. All the amenities in the house make our stay even better!!! The location is just what we want!!! It is a beachfront location away from all the crowds. Our kids can play freely like the good old days!!! Mark is very responsive when we have a need or question!!!
We had a wonderful family 3 night get together. The location of the house right on the water was wonderful- it was rainy and cold while we were there in January, but we still got in walks on the beach. The view was amazing. The house was clean and the bedroom layout worked well for us. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.
Wonderful home! Had everything you needed and then some! Absolute best beach location. Every bed was comfortable, all the linens were very nice and the kitchen amenities were fantastic. The split floor plan is perfect for large groups/families
