only a 2 block walk to a private beach perfect for families
2 block walk only to a private beach Surf Shack is a perfect location. Open floor plan is ideal for entertaining and all rooms on same floor. W/ the lights on the Front deck listening to the waves at night is tranquil. vacant lots on 3 sides offer peace from neighbors. Cornhole, washer boards and horseshoes offer fun for everyone while at the house. Also 2 blocks to an amazing pizza place, large convenient store and liquor store makes for a great location.

Loved this house and our time there. The house was perfect for our two families. Loved the deck and outdoor shower. Had a great time and would stay again

Very comfortable beds, well stocked towels and kitchen, very clean, quiet neighborhoodWe did not need it, but there is no laundry equipment as listed...fyiWe would definitely stay here again!
The property is in an absolute perfect location if you want to enjoy a private beach away from the crowds. It was very clean and exactly what was presented online. I plan on renting it again in the future.
Amazing place it was an exactly what we wanted and more! Our family and friends loved it! Rooms were clean and comfortable and ready to sleep in. Place was great all around. When we had issues even though it was late at night the Host responded immediately to help. If I can give this 10 stars I would! Would definitely recommend and come back for another stay!
Checking in was a breeze. The beach was wonderful, within walking distance. There weren’t many people around and we felt like we had the beach to ourself. The house was great. Plenty of porch space. The layout of the house was very open and enjoyable for our family to spend time with each other. Thank you for everything, Sean!
The property was clean and ready for us. The proprietor was quick to respond to my questions. Property had a nice fenced in area that was common to the deck so we could let the dog out without worrying about him getting free. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach!

The house had lots of problems. Stayed only one of our 2 nights.
The house was well kept and clean, there were a variety of appliances in the kitchen available to use, all in working order and well maintained. Sean was quick to respond to questions and gave clear answers. Overall we had a great time!
We had a great stay in Galveston! The house was clean upon arrival and was super comfortable for our party of 7. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were cozy, we had plenty of hot water, and the a/c worked great! Proximity to the beach was excellent as well!
everything was clean and everything that the description
said was there there where out door games the beach was really close and it was an all around fun home to stay in we would definitely return
My family and furry friends enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Host was very responsive. We had everything we needed to cook and clean, sleep, shower. There is also a doggie door. Close to moody gardens, the pier and the local movie theater.
The house was perfect! Super close to the beach, very quaint, and pet friendly! Our dogs were very welcomed and we loved the dog friendly amenities of the house, like a doggy door and big fenced in yard. This was a great weekend celebrating an engagement with my fiancé and our friends. Made memories that will last a lifetime. The house was clean, the owner was very kind and personable and quick with communication if I needed anything. Overall a place I’d recommend for a small gathering, celebration, and weekend getaway
The house was exactly as advertised. Communication was spectacular! We had an issue with the tv, and they immediately set us with someone to fix it.
The house is close enough to the beach to listen to the waves and we loved it!
Such a cute little property in the west side of galv. Home owner was super responsive and nice to talk to. He had games and beach toys located in the closet in the first floor my two kids really enjoyed. 10/10 I’m definitely gonna stay again and refer some friends bc how much we enjoyed our stay.
We had such a wonderful time and having the beach house was great! It was a short walk to a private beach! 🏝️ Our host was very friendly and accommodating. He even allowed us to add an extra day at the last minute as the house wasn’t booked that day. We had 7 of our kids with us ranging from 5 to 21 years old and everyone had a GREAT time. If you’re looking for luxury this may not be your cup of tea, but if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, friendly host, and privacy then we highly recommend! Thanks Sean for a fantastic vacation in your home!
