What a great place! The location was perfect if you are visiting the island! The kitchen was well equipped and we had a great night’s sleep after a long day in the comfy beds! We especially loved the fun décor. Highly recommend this place. Be sure to start your day with coffee on the front porch!

My family enjoyed the stay, everything was perfect. My family and I where there for a dance competition and the rooms where perfect for all of my 3 girls. The home very well cleaned and equipped with everything we need. The host was available to answer and respond to our questions very quickly. My 8 year old daughter cried the last day, she did not want to leave. We have visited the island many times and had never heard or seen Evia community in Galveston. The community gives you an "Old Southern" feel that makes visiting this community unique.

Wonderful Stay!

Our family stayed for a beach vacation and this home was the perfect spot for us. The home itself was clean and had everything we needed, including items for the beach which was very convenient.

Perfect location for our golf tournament at Moody. The house was clean and communication before and during our stay was excellent! They accommodated a noon check out even for the ladies waiting on the tournament to end! The sitting area was nice downstairs for morning coffee and was a quiet area with not much traffic. We look forward booking again in the future.

A lovely property, with quick access to all of the Galveston favorites, but away from all of the craziness at the Seawall! A hidden gem- our family is older but all ages will do well here. We will be back!

Jennifer ! Thank you so much for the kind words! It was great to host you, the bestie and of course your furry friend ! The location is special , just off the path of chaos so you feel relax and quiet but 2 minutes from anything and everything. There is no place like it in Galveston. Thank you for allowing our little family to host you. And we really appreciate all the feedback it helps us strive an become better for the guest we are honored to host.

Charming and Comfortable

The house was so cute and perfect for my family group of five adults. The decor was delightful, the beds were comfortable, the room temperature was refreshing, and the water was hot and plentiful. The hosts were very helpful, suggesting great places to go and eat. We had such a good time and are sure to return.

Great location for Moody Golf

Perfect location for a golf weekend at Moody. The house is clean, and the A/C worked great - everything we wanted for a guy's golf weekend. The house is minutes away from the course. And the proximity to Buffalo Grille made for a nice pre-round breakfast stop.

Great place to stay

The house was great. It’s on a low traffic street right near the bay with great views from the front and back. Front of the house faces east, and back faces west with a great view of the estuary at sunset. Close to Moody Gardens and the beach. The layout of the house was really nice. Great kitchen for cooking, and the deck on the front is really nice. We had a really nice stay, and hope to go back again.
