Fantastic Week at Captain's Quarters

My wife and I had another fantastic stay @ Captain's Quarters only a few steps away from Palm Beach. Everything at the house was ideal and as always; a clean, well-stocked, and fabulous vacation home. Great October weather made for a perfect experience!

Great Weekend Retreat

Just stayed here for the weekend and had a great weekend. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed to enjoy ourselves. The location is outstanding as it is very close to the beach and didn't require us to walk across any major roads. This was very helpful since we had two of our grandsons with us. We will visit again!

Relaxing beach vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Just Steps to the Beach. The house was just what we needed and in a great location. It has a nice deck if you like the sun and is a short block from a beautiful beach. Our pup loved it just as much as we did.

Absolutely Awesome House

We loved our stay in Galveston! The house was very clean and the check in process was incredibly easy. The beach was so close! The house was properly stocked and the entertainment options were great when the weather wasn’t cooperating. My family loved the stay and would highly recommend the property!

Great beach spot!

Loved just about everything about this property! The location was great - a quick 2 minute walk down the end of the street to the beach. The place itself has a great porch/deck that wraps all the way around which we enjoyed. Also has everything you would need for a short stay. We would gladly come back to this exact spot again and again.

Wonderful house

We’ve rented several properties over the years and this one has to be the best. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen stuff so you can make your meals. The house is just seven houses away from the beach; which is an easy walk. The beach itself is nice. It wasn’t crowded and no cars are allowed on the beach. The water was warm and the waves are minimal; perfect for swimming with kids.

My wife and I had a great week at Pirates Beach in our "home away from home". The rental was very clean, stocked with all needed supplies, and a truly enjoyable experience! This house is a real gem, only 150 yards from the beach! Thanks Barbara for being a wonderful host.

About the host

Hosted by Darin and Barbara Hilton

Host profile image
We live off the Island but close.We renovated this home in 2012. We love to visit Galveston often and take advantage of all it has to offer through out the year. We consider this our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We love the Palm Beach neighborhood. It is a small community. The beach is awesome here. There is no car or golf cart traffic on the beach. Limited parking makes this community quiet and rarely crowded. Friendly people everywhere!

What makes this property unique

Our house is very comfortable and spacious. The beds are very comfortable. If you want to get out of the sun , you can cool off downstairs. A nice breeze flows through and there is good seating and a swing. A downstairs rain shower/ with hot and cold water is very relaxing. Also a private dressing room and toilet. No need to bring the sand inside.
