On our fourth visit to this home in Galveston in the Pirates Beach neighborhood, we were delighted to find everything as warm and welcoming as always. Susan is a great host and easy to communicate with. The short walk to the beach makes it a great stay.

Take up the advice to bring bug spray. It’s not the property owners issue, but mosquitos were particularly bad this visit. I’m sure due to recent rains. Don’t let it deter you, just have the spray ready :)

Our stay at this Beach House was everything we wanted for our group of 6…bedroom on main floor for grandparents and daughter and family had the upstairs to themselves. The host communicated effectively and the house was beautiful with attractive and cozy decor. All the things we could need for the beach were there…a beach wagon, sand toys, umbrella, beach towels, beach chairs and a place to hose off our sand. The kitchen was superbly stocked with nice dishes and cooking supplies and appliances. Our time at this house was a delightful. I would highly recommend it for your stay in Galveston.

You wanted for nothing, the kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with many more towels than you could possibly use including beach towels. Plenty of laundry detergent to keep up with busy beach days . Always responded quickly with any questions and felt like they really cared about our experience. Shed/garage was full of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and multiple wagons to use. Tons of outdoor deck space and plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy family gatherings. Very close to the beach and never crowded. We will be back!

Close to the Beach was everything we needed to make our trip a memorable experience. One of the best stocked homes we have stayed in. Everything was provided and everything plentiful. The location was perfect, being able to sit on the back deck and watch the ocean waves was very relaxing. Our host met our needs and answered our questions quickly and efficiently. We definitely recommend this property if you are planning on a trip to Galveston Island. You won’t be disappointed.

We appreciated the prompt communication from the owner and clear instructions for check in and check out as well as operation of the Roku. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a lot of seating on multiple decks. It is a short walk to the beach but unfortunately the view is somewhat obstructed by palm trees when you are seated on the back deck. We could hear the waves which was nice.

About the host

The beach house was my home for 10 years when I lived full time on the island. Now I can share it with you. It's my happy house and I hope it will be yours too!

Why they chose this property

My house is located close to the water with great decks, ocean and sunset views, and relaxing sounds of the waves, palm trees and birds. The Pirates Beach family friendly neighborhood is well established with great neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Wraparound uncovered and covered decks with lots of outdoor furniture to allow you and your family to get away from it all and relax.
