This is a great house just steps away from the beach! We loved the space for a group and the well equipped kitchen. The beds were also quite comfortable. It was also convenient to Seven Seas Grocery for last minute items. We had a blast during Mardi Gras and exploring the island and hope to be back soon!:)

That’s what we like to hear Timothy! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to host you again soon.
Suggest bringing a wagon to get gear to the beach as the entrance is very near the house, but a little far if you are carrying a cooler, tent and chairs.

The house was beautiful and very clean! LOVED LOVED LOVED it! The view is great from the decks and the bedrooms have doors that open to the porch and you can still hear the waves while dozing in the bed. The beach trail is close and it was wonderful to walk along the beach. We do plan to come back with the family and maybe make it our getaway :)

Pleasant Stay
Very comfortable arrangements, needs a little TLC otherwise very pleasant location and actually to beach.
We spent Christmas there with family. The house was very nice as pictured. It accommodated everyone very well. The beach access is right there which made walking on the beach a breeze. Most restaurants and stores are about 20 mins down the strip. The house is more secluded just others beach houses around. The house could have used more cleaning supplies and rugs. Additionally you will need to bring your own beach things if you don’t want to rent from the house. We were able to get groceries via insta cart but I don’t think many food places deliver out there. Communicating with the house was very simple check in and check out was also not an issue. Overall it was a great Christmas experience

We appreciate your review. Our goal is that every guest would have a 5-star experience and when we fall short, we take that feedback very seriously. We will address the concerns you raised with our team.
The communication with the property manager was so fast and I really appreciated that. We had a large group, so while there was not enough dining area indoors to all eat together, the sleeping accommodations worked out well. The kitchen dishes and silverware was well stocked and we were able to comfortably cook and the best part was the proximity to the beach.

Lovely home! Easy check-in. All amenities in place. Pictures of bedrooms were mostly representative of rooms. Easy walk to beach. The beach felt private. Best part was the comfort of the mattresses- felt very high end.

I rented the house for my mom's 60th birthday. The host was very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The home was amazing and right on the beach. The location was perfect and not too busy. I highly recommend staying here.

Thanks for the 5-star review, Shavonna! So glad you had a great time staying with us.
The home is beautiful, could use a few repairs and could use a new outside grill, but overall, we had a wonderful time. The view was awesome! Quite neighborhood. We had family from Iowa and their children had never been to a beach before, so they had a blast looking for seashells and playing on the beach! Beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!

The best thing about this property is the spectacular view. We enjoyed our stay at the beach house. We loved the view and the short walk to beach. The cabin could use a lil TLC the windows were very dirty and you could not see the beautiful view through the windows. The light fixtures were also very dirty but everything else was pretty clean. I do have to say the beds are very firm throughout the cabin so if you’re use to a plush bed be prepared. Everything is well stocked except there was only 1 kitchen towel? I guess someone must have took them? Overall it was a good experience.

When we arrived it was all dirty and a terrible wet smell, the refrigerator does not cool and the dishwasher does not work, when the cleaning people arrived I told them to change the blankets and they told me that they could not do it that they only change sheets and that the blankets are washed every 2 or 3stays. the house is to old and is really sticky everywhere.

Not as clean as the pictures.
The cleaners were at the house even after we were suppose to be able to check in. The house was dirty and the kitchen items had to be cleaned before use.

2025 Galveston Stay
This house was nice and we enjoyed ourselves. The property management responded instantly when we requested some extra pans and batteries for the remote controls. None of the closets had hangers, and two of the bedrooms upstairs did not have closets or chest of drawers so several family members had to live out of their suitcases. In my opinion the house could use a little TLC. Overall, it was a nice stay and we enjoyed ourselves.
