Excellent communication. The location was perfect. So clean and comfortable. The view was awesome. The host was very accommodating as we were there for the IRONMAN and we ran over time. I would definitely stay again.

Wonderful! Thank you for booking and please come back, anytime.
We really enjoyed our stay at Salty Air Retreat. The location was perfect and we had a beautiful view of the beach. The house was fully stocked with all the basic necessities plus many extras like coffee, creamer, sugar, several tea ioptions and even provided laundry detergent. My favorite part was sitting out on the deck. You're close enough to the water to see and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I would definitely book again!
Great precruise stay for 2 couples. Comfortable and well-equipped. Loved the balcony; great beach view. Walking distance or short uber ride to conveniences and restaurants. Will stay here again when in Galveston.
Great place! Great location! Bedrooms are downstairs and there’s a comfy open living room and kitchen upstairs. Full bathroom downstairs and a half one upstairs. Very enjoyable.

Comfortable home away from home with thoughtful furnishings and amenities. Convenient to cruiseport and a couple blocks from ocean. Just a few minutes drive to most popular spots. Would definitely return.
Beautiful property looking out over the gulf. Loved waking up sitting outside looking at the water. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for staying at the house. Y’all were great and you left the house in perfect order. Please think of us again if you come back to the Island.
PS - No idea why it’s showing as 4 stars for my review of you. I must have fat thumbed it. Apologies. I can request to have it removed if you would like me to.
Great location just steps away from the beach with restaurants near by. Clean and cute!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin
My wife and I met here on the Island many moons ago and decided it would be a great place to set-up home base and raise a family. We love being around and in the water - when we're not surfing you will probably find us gardening are on a long walk meandering through a quiet Galveston neighborhood.
