Our Wedding Day

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!

Peaceful and a breeze

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!

Great stay!

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!

Quaint Place Very Near Beach

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!

Wonderful way to celebrate an engagement!

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

Listen to the waves…

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!

Top 3 vacation

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!
