We had a large group and the two houses were great. Super clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was awesome. We spent a lot of time at the pool and on The patio watching tv, playing games and eating. The host was very responsive and helpful. Walking distance to the beach I would stay here again. I highly recommend this house.

Thanks, Terri! I'm happy you enjoyed the outdoor space and pool, the walking distance to the beach, and other amenities of this property.
This property has everything you could possibly need for a fabulous beach vacation! You won’t find a cleaner, more organized place to stay. And communication with the property was so professional and efficient. We will be back! Thanks for the great time!

Thank you, Desiree, for your kind words. It means so much to us to provide exceptional accommodations for our guests, and I'm so happy that you loved so many aspects about this property.
Property was clean, spacious and updated, we had 6 adults, 2 children and there was room for more. Upscale laundry and kitchen appliances including a very large refrigerator and any small appliance needed. Covered outdoor grilling area has gas grill, TV, sink, plenty of seating and a full bathroom. Neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance to public and private beach access. Plenty of blankets and bath towels provided, bathrooms have complimentary hair care, body wash and hand soap. Very comfortable beds and furniture, including a large sleeper sofa. Andy was quickly responsive to any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone!

Laurie, we loved hosting you all. Thank you for your kind review -- it means a lot.
A definite 5 stars all around! The Gulf Haven home was perfect for our family of 7 (6 adults, 1 child). It is minutes to the beach, The Strand, Schlitterbahn Water Park, the Seawall, Pleasure Pier, and tons of restaurants.The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a 3rd bathroom downstairs by the pool. The small house has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and a cowboy hot tub outside. We rented both houses and had access to both the pool and hot tub.Both houses were immaculate! The main house has Viking kitchen appliances and a fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, utensils, etc.) for preparing meals. The beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of room to be together in the front room. Andy, our host, was so nice and easy to work with. He responded quickly to any questions we sent him by text. If we vacation in Galveston again, we will be staying at Gulf Haven!

Becky, you all were amazing guests. I’m so happy you loved the property and its proximity to all the great things in Galveston.
Our stay at Andy's property was nothing short of spectacular, making our New Year's celebration truly memorable. Right from the start, Andy was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our diverse group, ranging in age from 1 to 86, felt comfortable and well-cared for.
Every necessity was within reach, making our stay both convenient and enjoyable. The attention to detail in the amenities provided made it feel like a home away from home.
The heated pool was undoubtedly the highlight for our group, especially the kids, who spent most of their time there. It was perfectly heated to 90 degrees, ideal for the cooler winter days. The beds were also comfortable and the guest house was the perfect addition for large group.
We're already looking forward to returning in the summer. This property is a true gem for anyone looking to host a large group. Andy's exceptional hospitality sets it apart. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable stay.
