This house made for a wonderful trip for our family of 5. The quick, walkable access to the beach was so much more relaxing than hopping in a car or having to cross a busy street. We loved breakfasts on the porch each morning.

Thank you for the great feedback! I'm so glad check-in was smooth and that you and your family were comfortable and had plenty of space. Happy to hear you enjoyed the kitchen too! You’re always welcome back for another stay.
This was our fourth year kicking off the summer in this wonderful residence. As always our stay was great. The home is perfectly situated and very clean. The number of rooms/beds is great for our 5 kiddos and there’s plenty of space for them to do their own thing indoors and out. We’re already looking forward to next year’s stay. Thank you to the owners / hosts for a great experience.

Thank you so much for your continued trust and for making our home part of your family’s summer tradition! It truly means a lot to us. We're so glad the space continues to work well for your crew and that everyone—kids included—feels right at home. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another memorable stay!
Our family of 4 loved this cozy home near the beach! One of the most family friendly places we have ever stayed. We don’t have babies, but there were SO many accessories available if you were traveling with an infant - Including a full size crib in the Master bedroom closet. Just perfect! We loved being such a short walk to the ocean and being able to see it from all the windows and balconies. The garage had umbrellas, a wagon and endless beach toys for kiddos. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your family felt so at home and enjoyed the space, the views, and all the beach essentials. We try to make the home as family-friendly and convenient as possible, so it's great to know those little touches made a difference—even if the baby gear wasn’t needed this time! We'd love to welcome you back anytime for another beach getaway.
What a treat! The location to the beach was perfect and the house itself was exactly what our family needed! The beach is as close to a private beach as you can get and most days we were the only ones at the pool! We loved that our area was quiet yet welcoming to a family with young children. Lots of fun things within a 30 minute drive to the east. The communication with the host was quick and easy! We enjoyed a great week in Galveston!

We had a wonderful time! The house was absolutely perfect and the location was wonderful being so close to the beach. It was so helpful that they provided everything we needed for a day at the beach including a wonderful wagon to bring our things. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm thrilled to hear the house and location were a perfect fit for your getaway. I'm especially glad the beach gear and wagon made things easier for your beach days. It was a pleasure hosting you — and we’d love to have you back for a longer stay next time!
We had our elderly parents and our kids and grandkids. The house was well supplied for all ages and was easy walking distance to a pedestrian only beach.
