Perfect spot for family vacation

We wanted to be away from the Galveston crowds but close enough to enjoy restaurants and attractions. The house on the beach was perfect! The beach was great and literally steps from the house, so easy to enjoy with the little ones. House setup worked really well for us with three bedrooms and the equipped kitchen. aparticularfavorite

Wonderful Fall Break Family Vacation

It was so great staying right on the beach. Especially for my parents who do not get around easily, they got to enjoy the beach from the comforts of home. House was very comfortable and very well stocked. The owner was very helpful and responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was everything we expected and more. Also, we had several questions when we first arrived and Katie was very responsive in taking care of us. We enjoyed the kitchen, huge windows with 180 degree views of the shoreline, great A/C, ceiling fans, and comfy beds.

Overall great stay

This property is true to pictures and descriptions. We had issues with the lights outside by the pool, but the hosts were prompt in responding and had someone out the next day to look (and fix) them. The 2nd floor does get warm but that was explained to us and it was recommended that we try to not open the outside doors a lot to keep the temp down. Hard to do with kids though. The only other issue we had was that we did see 2 roaches. The pool was definitely an oasis and the best part of our stay. We used the pool everyday! The check out process was super easy and convenient. Overall it was a great stay and I would stay again.

Heavenly!

Stunning views, and OH the crashing waves …So therapeutic! Right on the beach with great fishing & crabbing - literally just steps away! We brought & set up our chairs, horseshoes & cornhole on the bottom level - there is plenty of room! Do bring your own beach chairs if you want to hang out and grill & play on the bottom level. Our stay was 10/10 awesome, from start to finish. Katie was so helpful & accessible. Home was VERY clean, cozy, and had the most comfortable beds & linens ! We are a tall family - all beds were awesome and the bunks accommodated our sons who are both over 6ft comfortably! Plenty of parking as well. All the essentials were on hand … towels - don’t bring any - several bath & beach towels on hand as well as full-size Washer/Dryer, Charcoal grill, cookware, & coffee maker ! Also, plenty of beach toys and lots of boogie boards- literally a stack of them! Everything we needed & more. We look forward to visiting again. Thanks again, Katie, for sharing your beautiful home!

Best house on the Texas Coast

This house was amazing and had everything you could want in a vacation home. The location was perfect and right on the beach. The two younger kids loved being able to walk right onto the beach. We were able to set all of our umbrellas and ice chests out before the massive July 4th crowds showed up. The decks were perfect to listen to the ocean and watch the sunsets. Got to see a couple of big storms roll in as well. This spot is perfect for fishing, but unfortunately they weren’t biting for anyone. I’ve seen videos of people catching massive Reds and Specs here. The inside of the house was very spacious. The beds were some of the best we have ever slept in. The AC was always cold and everything worked great. We went on July 4th weekend which brought record crowds. It got so bad that a few of the beaches on Galveston Island were closed. The location of the house at the end of the block made it a prime location for people to enter and exit the beach from under the house. When we arrived we literally had 20 people sitting on the downstairs deck and blocking the drive way. It was a constant flow of people to and from the beach. Luckily this only lasted for 3 days of our trip. Reading the reviews this was not a normal occurrence. Can’t wait to book again during the off-season with less people.

Thomas, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you loved the house... The location right on the beach, the beautiful sunset views from the decks, and the comfortable space inside. You captured the holiday atmosphere so well... July 4th weekend is a busy time on the coast. Thankfully, the beach and neighborhood return to their usual relaxed pace after that weekend, and it’s typically very peaceful the rest of the year. We’ve added clear signage and reminders to keep the driveway area guest-only, and please don’t hesitate to message us during a stay so we can address anything right away. We’d love to welcome you back... Especially when it’s peaceful and the sunsets are spectacular. Best Regards, Katie Clawson
