We were with our older child which allowed us to be close to downtown Galveston and the beach was around the corner. Every place was conveniently located.

Family get away

House was clean. Plenty of room. Close to the Seawall but just far enough away to not be too busy. Definitely recommend.

Great stay!

This was a great house for our family weekend! The interior was really nice and clean, and we enjoyed the beach-themed decor! The only downside was how hot it was inside when we arrived as the thermostat was set at 85. It took a while to get the temp down, but understandably so due to how unbelievably hot it is right now in TX! Thanks for a great stay & memories, Sandy Turtle! 😊

This house was perfect! Our hosts thought of everything, the house was immaculate when we arrived and check in was extremely easy. No problems whatsoever. The house is beautifully decorated; we spotted something new every day. It was in a quiet location, but only minutes away from both the seawall and The Strand district. Even if we had just enjoyed the house the entire week, it would have been a perfect vacation. And our host was very attentive, easy to contact, and replied very quickly to any questions we had. This is perfect for a small family, complete with plenty of toys/games to keep little ones busy.

Hi Chris, thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear the house was a perfect fit for your stay and that you found everything clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. It’s great to know you enjoyed the décor, the easy check-in, and the quiet yet convenient location near both the Seawall and The Strand. We’re especially glad the toys and games helped keep the little ones entertained—that’s exactly what we hope for! It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we appreciate your kind words about our communication. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime for another wonderful stay!

Great Getaway

Very clean and comfortable. Close to all the main attractions but far enough away from the hustle and bustle for peace and quiet and relaxation.
