This was a last-minute booking for me, and it exceeded my expectations. The property is just a short walk to the beach, making it a great location for a relaxing getaway.One thing that stood out was the patioā€”itā€™s much more spacious than the photos suggest. The comfortable, soft outdoor seating was an added bonus and really enhanced my stay. In fact, the patio furniture deserves an updated spot in the photo gallery because itā€™s a great feature of the property.I stayed downstairs in the queen bedroom, which was comfortable and included a TV. Although my stay was brief, I also noticed a new barbecue grill available for guests to use.The host communicated well throughout my stay and thoughtfully provided hospitality items that did not go unnoticed. As an experienced traveler, I truly appreciated those extra touches.One of my favorite moments was spending Sunday morning on the patio, enjoying a cup of coffee while taking in the ocean view. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to booking this property in the future.

The host was incredibly kind and really went above and beyond to help accommodate us after Hurricane Beryl blew through and worked to make sure our stay was perfect. Great location, close to the beach and we love that it had a ground level rooms for the older folks who can't easily do stairs and a room of bunks for kids/teens. The deck was perfect for eating and lounging. Great place! We'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Keep Kowalski

Host profile image
Our family has been enjoying Galveston for over 20 years. It has been a dream of ours to own a home near the beach. Our family loves to play volleyball and fly kites on the beach. Our neighbors are an added bonus to this home. Everyone who we have met has been wonderful. I hope you enjoy the relax beach life as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

You know what they say "location, location, location!" We absolutely love this area and wanted a family friendly home that was close to the beach. The house was nicely maintained but we added our own special touches this year. Come see for yourself!

What makes this property unique

This house is designed for 2 families to stay. Both can enjoy the commons area and patio while having their own privacy.
