First time at the house and will say that it was a great location and place to stay. my family and the three others we traveled with had a great time. the only thing i would ask the homeowner if possible is to get a new grill and a we couldn't get the coffee machine to work (maybe user error) LOL . . . .Beach access was awesome and will definitely book again !

Great house, the king bed in the master was especially comfortable. All the boys and men loved the big leather recliners for sports and F1, kitchen fully stocked, garage fully stocked for everything needed on the beach included a pop up tent and chairs. A few kinks in the door alarm were quickly remedied by very responsive management. Overall, great house, would definitely use again.

Great communication from hosts throughout. This house very comfortably accommodated our large family. The location in Galveston is great. Access to beach excellent. All beds and chairs very comfy. Kitchen allowed for lots of good food prep. Hot tub, grill and elevator were excellent. Overall, really excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The home is gorgeous (what a view!) and in a perfect spot, right next to the beach access, and also close to so much of what Galveston has to offer. Gary or Anna quickly responded to any questions. The house and pictures were spot on with their descriptions. The house was very clean. We’re a group of three retired couples- siblings and their spouses. We came in late September and were able to avoid the crowds. For most of our short stay, we had the beach to ourselves, and it felt so special (Our families grew up in So Cal and it is crowded year round). We also have a family member who has Parkinson’s and mobility issues, and the elevator was also a necessary element when choosing a house. Gary was very helpful in helping us understand how to navigate a residential elevator, which is different than a commercial one. We already have a family member who is thinking about planning another trip with their children and grandchildren- the bunk bed room was fabulous, although we didn’t have little ones to enjoy it on this trip. We highly recommend!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so glad the elevator made the trip easy for everyone, and that you had the beach almost to yourselves in late September. The bunk room will be waiting for the grandkids next time, and if your family ever needs a different size, we have other homes and condos on the island too. - Gary & Anna

Everything was just ideal While we were terrible busy wit parti4es and graduations, there wasn't much time for the beach but a few did test it out.. Not like the coast of Clearwater Florida but just fine for us. Had a party of 40 new MD's and friends and went perfectly. Beautiful full moon and no mosquitoes till 9pm when the 30 somethings vacated. We had such fun..jWish this house was up in the panhandle I'd rent more often Thank ;you for giving us such a special weekend. We now have the 3rd MD in the family . NOT easy, ;;but it works

Congratulations on the new MD in the family! What an achievement. We're glad the house was part of such a special weekend. For future guests, a friendly reminder: the house sleeps up to 16, and we keep it for families and small groups rather than events. For a smaller getaway, our beachfront condos are a great fit too. - Gary & Anna

10/10 vacation home! Very detailed instructions for anything needed for the home along with QR codes. The host was super responsive and so helpful! One of the best beach trips we have ever had bc the home was so great! So many little details that were so appreciated! Extra towels, spices, plastics containers… the list goes on and on. The rooms were so spacious and all bathrooms were fabulous! Even with several families you never felt on top of one another. The first level garage was so nice for storage and the back area/hot tub area was just the best! Pictures really don’t do it justice! You won’t be disappointed!
