Friends and family vacation
We booked our trip in the spring. Four of us have been friends for over 50 years. Also my grandaughter and her boyfriend wanted to join us. She was able to celebrate her 20th birthday with us I feel so blessed that she wanted to. The Hook house was perfect for everyone. There was plenty of room inside and out. It was just a short trip to the beach. We enjoyed every minute of the week and the host was very welcoming and answered me back quickly each time I needed to Reach out to her. We had the best time and made some lifetime memories. Beautiful home.

This beach house was by far one of the best I have rented at Pirates Beach. It has every amenity you need. And since it was raining some of the time we played with the games downstairs (corn hole, shuffleboard) and the games inside. I highly recommend this property!

Fabulous Home
We had a fantastic weekend at this property. The check in was a breeze and the host was responsive, attentive and super nice. The home is decorated beautifully and very relaxing. It is an easy walk to the beach and the ground level of the house has lots of activities to keep people busy on a rainy day. The teens in our group especially loved hanging out down there. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, etc, and we were easily able to cook everything we needed. The grill also came in very handy. The mattresses were very comfortable, the layout of the house was great, and everyone had plenty of space. It was a rainy weekend and the giant games closet was also very handy. If we come back to Galveston it will be our go-to rental property for sure. We have nothing negative to report! Thank you for a great, problem free weekend!

Great get away for spring break!
I’ve been to this beach house a couple times and it never disappoints! I’ve been really stressed about college and getting away for a couple days, especially in this house, was much needed! Big thanks to the owner! I will be returning soon!

Home Away From Home
This house feels like home! It’s the only place to stay if you have a family. Its prime location to the beach makes it a quick walk to the water. There’s all the games and beach toys you could ever want! My kids love the outdoor shower and my daughter got really good at Battleship at night. They have this amazing game closet! The beds are the best, I never want to leave them! But the patio for the my morning coffee is worth getting up. Book here and prepare for the vacation of a lifetime!

Great Family and Friend Weekend
We had three families of four with kiddos ranging from 2 to 11. This house had everything we needed to accommodate our stay and make for an easy, breezy weekend. The kids enjoyed the bunk room and the adults enjoyed the comfy living/dining area for catching up and relaxing after a long day. The elevator lift made easy work of transporting items to the main floor. The downstairs outdoor area was a nice reprieve after a hot day at the beach—we had most of our lunches here while taking a beach break. The downstairs shower and bathroom were AMAZING and made everything so much easier to leave the beach at the beach. We would absolutely stay again.

Amazing House and Accommodations
We had the best time on our trip and staying here was the main reason. Beautiful house with every accommodation you could ask for. Very clean, open concept with a big kitchen and really cool outdoor area upstairs and downstairs. Very short walk to the beach and the hosts provided great toys, chairs, games, etc. We will absolutely be back! 6 adults and 3 kids slept comfortably and had plenty of room. The host thought of everything we would need and had it provided (down to labels of where everything was located!) Thank you for an awesome stay!!! See you again soon!

Just bring your clothes and food!
I booked Jimmie Hooks for a family summer vacation for my family of 4, as well as my brother and sister and their family. To start, our hostess Nancy had good communication; first to let us know we could check in early. Yes!! And she made sure we arrived ok and were able to access the property. The home was very clean. We cooked and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed. Oh, and there is a grill outside too! The place had it all. We had 3 small kids and 3 teenagers in our group and there was plenty of entertainment for all. From board games to books etc. We didn't have infants or toddlers in our group but the place was equipped with high chairs, a pack, and plays etc. The same was true when we geared up to head to the beach. All beach amenities are included in the home, tents boogie boards, beach toys, an umbrella, and a cart to pull it all. And btw...the beach was only a 2-minute walk. No need for a car or golf cart. Upon returning from the beach we all relished the outdoor shower that has hot and cold water along with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The bar outside was a nice touch. I felt like we had our own little private party oasis. The neighborhood was very nice and everyone was so friendly smiling and waving as they pass by. We all agreed this was the best beach house to rent for families with children of all ages. Will definitely recommend Jimmie Hooks to my family and friends.

Best Beach House in Galveston
First, the hospitality shown by the owner was seriously exceptional. The communication from the owner (Nancy) was top notch. Nancy was extremely helpful providing information about the property with precise details to aid in making sure my family and I had the best experience possible. I was very grateful for the communication. The property’s location is perfect for beach lovers like myself. Just a 2 minute walk to the beach; not to mention a convenient store, liquor store, and a pizza place all within walking distance. Bottom line, this is the absolute best beach house I have ever stayed in. Beautiful house with everything stocked with what you need to have a fabulous vacation stay with your family. This experience was a 10 out of 10 for me and my family! We will certainly be back!

Excellent beach getaway
We had the greatest time at Jimmy Hooks! The accommodations were spacious and there were so many areas to enjoy and have fun, both kids and adults alike. The walk to the beach was easy and the hosts offered everything you could need - a wagon for toting items, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, sand toys. The list goes on and on, not to mention the indoor amenities - games, books, a fully stocked kitchen. Top it off, the hosts were very friendly and attentive, making sure all went smoothly. We are already excited to go back!

A great holiday was had
We stayed here for Christmas with our college and adult kids and everyone had a wonderful time. The kitchen was perfectly stocked, the beds were comfortable and the overall layout was exactly what we were hoping for. It was an easy walk to the beach and we so appreciated all of the beach items left for our use. We really just needed to bring ourselves and our christmas presents-it was so nice to not have to worry about packing EVERYTHING. We will definitely be back!

Perfect vacation. Beautiful home in a great location. House catered to our every need. Stocked full of everything you need, all the way down to step stools for the little ones to use the potty and wash their hands. Property manager (Nancy) kept us informed and answered any and all questions we had. 10/10 experience, 5 star rating, and zero complaints!

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood
This house was perfect for our large family. The host was in touch before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The house had so many thoughtful touches, especially for those with young children - baby gate on stairs (that weren't in the way if you didn't need them), pack and play, and games. It also had a fully stocked kitchen, canopies and toys for the beach, corn hole and ping pong downstairs. It's closer to the main road than the beach, but it is a very short walk to the beach and I love the Pirates Beach neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect beach rental
We had such a fun spring break in Galveston. This rental was only a short walk to the beach and was the perfect size for 2 families. The host had plenty of toys for the kids and chairs for the adults for the beach and was responsive with any questions we had. Even though the hot tub was not working at the time she made sure we were taking care of and happy. The only complaint is we ended having to go buy paper towels and garage bags before our trip was done because we used all that were given. We will definitely be staying here if we find out way to Galveston again.
