We had a great beach stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The location is perfect for us, with stunning gulf views and direct access to the beach. The hose was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax after a day in the sun.The hose offered a great balance of comfort and convenience, with nice amenities and nearby restaurant and market. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation. We look forward to returning in the future!

This property shines due to the proximity to the beach. The house is quite small and a bit dated but we knew that from the reviews. The porch was the best part - watching and listening to the waves at all times of day with coffee, a book, dinner, etc - BUT the covered portion does leak when it’s raining

Relaxing and enjoyable stay

The house has great location, on a short dead-end street, right on the beach with easy access. A great grocery store and diner within walking distance. 15-20 minutes from Galveston proper.

Perfect beach cottage!

This was absolutely the perfect little beach house! Right on the beach, very cute interior, porch was half covered so you could sit out in the middle of the day, outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off before going inside….Owner was fabulous in helping w/ a missed cleaning before we checked in. Cannot wait to stay here again when we want a quiet, peaceful stay at the beach!

Amazing Ocean Beach View!

We enjoyed our four day stay with the amazing ocean views including easy quick access just steps away from the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch taking in the scenic views. The sound of the waves crashing on to the beach was heaven.

Great Little Beachfront Property Exactly As Described

Nice little beach house good for a small family. Reminds me of the lake cabin my aunt and uncle had years ago. Not as large as the neighboring properties but it's facing the same ocean. Very pleasant overall.
