Nice Getaway
Beautiful home walking distance to Palm Beach. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The patio area is very nice with a picnic table, TV, cornhole, hammock, lounge chairs, etc. Quick drive to downtown Galveston area. The owner was very nice and accomodating!

Great stay
Loved the location of the house and feelings of privacy of the beach. It was a quiet and family friendly area. We loved listening to the ocean from the deck and being able to walk a short distance to get to the beach. Melissa communicated very quickly whenever I had a question. We plan to return for another trip!

Beautiful home
We so enjoyed our trip to Galveston. The home was so wonderful in so many ways. I just loved the decor, cozy and coastal. Location was so great, a short walk to the beach which we enjoyed and was so easy with the wagon provided (toys and boogie boards and chairs to boot)! My girls rode the bikes to the beach daily as well as up and down the road in front of the house. My hubby did have to get some grease for the chains but got em working. We played cornhole everyday while kids napped after beach day! We loved having that! The home, it was so great to have 2 bathrooms, especially traveling with small children and being able to have the tub! My kids loved their bunk beds! We were so exhausted after our adventurous days we watched tv for a bit on the comfy couches and then the beds were heavenly. Softest blankets, my kids wanted to take them home!! Washer and dryer were great as well as everything provided in the pantry. I would return in a heartbeat as well as recommend this home to friends and family. Thanks for everything! Memories to cherish for a lifetime!
