Relaxing Beach Trip

This house made for a wonderful trip for our family of 5. The quick, walkable access to the beach was so much more relaxing than hopping in a car or having to cross a busy street. We loved breakfasts on the porch each morning.

This was our fourth year kicking off the summer in this wonderful residence. As always our stay was great. The home is perfectly situated and very clean. The number of rooms/beds is great for our 5 kiddos and there’s plenty of space for them to do their own thing indoors and out. We’re already looking forward to next year’s stay. Thank you to the owners / hosts for a great experience.

Our family of 4 loved this cozy home near the beach! One of the most family friendly places we have ever stayed. We don’t have babies, but there were SO many accessories available if you were traveling with an infant - Including a full size crib in the Master bedroom closet. Just perfect! We loved being such a short walk to the ocean and being able to see it from all the windows and balconies. The garage had umbrellas, a wagon and endless beach toys for kiddos. We can’t wait to come back!

What a treat! The location to the beach was perfect and the house itself was exactly what our family needed! The beach is as close to a private beach as you can get and most days we were the only ones at the pool! We loved that our area was quiet yet welcoming to a family with young children. Lots of fun things within a 30 minute drive to the east. The communication with the host was quick and easy! We enjoyed a great week in Galveston!
