We had a great time! The house was in a good spot, was clean and had plenty of room. The only drawback was limited parking but we carpooled and it worked out Beth was friendly and answered all my questions. Overall, very nice.

The house was clean and just a short walk to the beach.

Loved staying at this property. The host was amazing, really answered any questions we had. The only thing against the property is that you have to park on the side of the road but other then that the experience was great

Relaxing weekend get away

Before we even arrived the owner stayed in contact with us & was always prompt at answering any questions we had. When we arrived she made sure we had everything ready and the house was just what we needed and more. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave.

Great Place to Stay

We had a little hiccup with check in but the owner was very apologetic and helpful. The house was beautiful and perfect for our 2 families with a varied age group. The closeness to everything was amazing. Was able to walk to the beach with no problem.

Great location and fantastic owner!

The house is located right across the street from the beach and close to several amenities. Beth, the owner, was a great resource to us - even helping lining up transportation when we had rental car issues. Definitely would recommend!

Perfect for large families

I can't express how wonderful this was. We all had such a great time! The fully equipped kitchen, plenty of dishes to go around, plenty of towels, all the extra thoughtful things like shampoo and throw blankets, a grill on the back porch, wow! We will definitely stay again and will recommend to all our friends! Thank you thank you!

Attentive property owner and clean house

Beth was very attentive to our needs and made herself available at all times for us. She had every beach item you would need for the kids! The house was very clean. Both of the showers were in bedrooms so you will have to go through one of the rooms if you dont stay in one with the bathroom in it. We had a large group so that was the ONLY complaint for inside. The location was great, literally walked to the beach every day as it was only 1 block behind seawall. The neighbor tried to be rude and take our parking but Beth handled that for us as well. Overall we enjoyed our time there!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Vanderhoofven

Host profile image
BOI (Born on Island) of Key West who decided to retire/DOI on Galveston island. Very experienced hostess who worked for 5 stat resorts and knows what is important for guests. I am known as a hostess with the mostess and love making my groups vaca as memorial and comfortable that I can. I ADORE Galveston island and look forward to share our island vibes, free tours, free bands and events.

Why they chose this property

LOCATION doesn’t get better on the island. Centrally located on seawall with no need for car ride to get to tourist spots, restaurants, bars, shops. Your group can walk to all, separate and be safe, you are across the street for a huge beach that is not filled with people. Although a local beach we still have lifeguards in season. 5 Restaurants/bars in 1 block, walk to Pleasure Island and trolley on corner that takes you around the island.

What makes this property unique

For me the best benefit of my home is the freedom in the location. If you are outside town/off the island you are looking at 30-1.5 hours to get to Galveston tourist and beach areas, bars, restaurants. I have BEST location because it is safe/local/but right by beach and tourist events/pleasure pier/best restaurants and bars. MANY bars have free bands/entertainment and we often have free events on the beach too.
