This is the cutest place to stay close to the beach! Very clean and comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of cookware and even some extras. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were just right. The hot shower was great at the end of a chilly day. The area was quiet and clean. The walk to the beach was nice and not very far. The beach was surprisingly clean, no trash or debris laying around. Only a short drive to local restaurants and stores and not a bad drive to Galveston. The hosts were hospitable and kept in touch via emails making themselves available if needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and hope to go back someday. 5 Stars
I didn't realize the cabin was on the gulf side when I initially booked but for where it is, it's great! The provided beach toys and cornhole were a huge hit. The loft area ladder is a little scary but my kids loved it. Overall it was very clean and we had everything we needed and more and made a ton of memories! Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Alicia
We’re high school sweethearts who’ve always dreamed of a beach home! Living in The Woodlands and traveling for work, we cherish Gilchrist’s slower pace. With two teens, we’re all about making memories here — from marsh-view mornings to beach strolls at sunset. We hope our cozy home helps you relax, unwind, and create your own special moments by the sea!
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its peaceful, slow pace and stunning natural beauty. The views of the marshlands and Intracoastal Waterway are breathtaking, and we’re just minutes from the beach. The area has newer, updated homes that comfortably accommodate our whole family. It’s less than a two-hour drive from our primary residence, making it a perfect retreat. We love the friendly neighbors and the charm of the sleepy town nearby—with just three stoplights and one grocery store, it’s the kind of quiet escape that’s hard to find.
What makes this property unique
Our home is uniquely situated in a modern, newly built neighborhood with a central pool for relaxing and socializing. Unlike most houses nearby, it has no neighbors directly behind or on one side, offering peaceful, unobstructed views of the beautiful marshlands. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property experiences minimal traffic and noise. Plus, beach access is incredibly convenient—just a 3-minute walk or a 1-minute drive (with a vehicle pass). This combination of privacy, serenity, and proximity to the beach makes our property truly special.
