Love this place. Love the little neighborhood. The owner was responsive in minutes for anything we needed. Easy walk to the beach. Clean. Had a great time.
Loved the location of this beach house, and the host was super attentive and friendly! We have small children and the house was kid friendly and very nice!
Beautiful home just steps away from the beach. The house is equipped with everything you need for the beach: beach toys, chairs, etc. The owner is extremely communicative and makes sure you are satisfied with all aspects of the house. We love to do a big family breakfast and the kitchen was perfect to do so! We will definitely be back
Nice location, well maintained property and well stocked property.

Beautiful home, with lots of space, very comfortable beds and feels like home. We will definitely be back. The hone is in a beautiful neighborhood and the check in process was so easy. The manager kept me up to date and gave fabulous instructions with great pictures! We had a blast! Wish we could have stayed longer!
Everything was great with the home and stay. We had only one concern, the cleaning person let two of the guests into the home without knowing who they were.
The house was wonderful! We drove in to celebrate at the beach my youngest’s birthday. Her desire was to hang at the beach all day Saturday, which we did.
The house was close to the beach. It had all the items needed to make a fabulous weekend. We were extremely pleased with the entire home, neighborhood and community. Thank you.

Fantastic property and the hosts are tremendous!
Better than the description, this is a luxury beach house that has everything you need. Very comfortable, and exceptionally equipped, we wanted for nothing. The hosts were incredibly helpful, and much appreciated. We had the time of our lives and look forward to another opportunity to visit Galveston. I recommend this property very highly; it is well worth the price. You will not be sorry, it will make your Galveston trip memorable. Thanks to Mai for all her help.

Great vacation home!
Rang in 2019 here with a group of 11. Found all we needed in the kitchen. Home was new and well decorated. Walk to the beach was easy and convenient. Plenty of parking and porches. Minor issues: instructions for AV equipment would have been useful with 6 remotes in living room. Downstairs bedroom shares bath for the whole floor (main living). Jute rugs had an odd smell.. great to have newer home in Galveston!

Dear Kim,
Thank you so much for your honest review. So glad that you have messaged me when you checked-out that the house worked great. So happy to see that you gave our house 5 stars with beautiful words for the review even there were minor issues.
An issue that caught our attention was the 'odd' smell of the jute rugs. We have stopped by the house immediately to investigate. We believed that 'odd' smell due to the new rug which was bought and replaced not too long ago. We did call and ask about that smell when we started to invest in jute rugs for the beach house. They explained that is naturally normal because the jute was cut fresh, dry and then weaved by hand. Later it was wrapped and shipped. It would take months before it could get to the consumer. The jute was trapped inside the wrapper and could not 'breath'. The smell could not be able to harm you. They said it would disappear later. I hope this helps. Please feel free to email me if you have any additional information to share.
Again, thanks for staying at our beach house and would love to have you and your guests again.

The Seaglass house was a lovely location for our family gathering. It is well located on the East End of Galveston and we enjoyed having the beach to ourselves early in the morning.
The house has plenty of space and the beds were quite comfortable.
The only regret is we were so busy I ran out of time to try out the claw foot tub in the primary bathroom. :) If stairs are an issue there is a bedroom on the first floor off of the kitchen with a bathroom next door.
Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of beach chairs, towels and toys to keep everyone occupied.
We did have a slight issue with the septic system which is typical on an island. Mai & Tom had someone on sight the next day to address the issue, even on a Sunday. Mai was very communicative and informative throughout the visit. Check in and out were easy and simple.
Thank you for a lovely weekend,

nice, clean, about what you'd expect for a higher end rental out of season. Lots of stuff for kids ages 3-12. That's a nice touch for the nicer more expensive rental homes.
The only negative was that the dishwasher didn't work. We were there for 5 days spending Thanksgiving, but we made do. I'd stay there again for sure. Mai was great, very attentive and very personable.
Thank you to Mai and her role in communicating with us to setup this wonderful trip. Highly rated this house and would definitely return for another round. Beautiful house, great service and amenities and nice location to everything.
We loved our location on East Beach in Beachtown! So close to the places we wanted to visit. The beach isn’t crowded and the little neighborhood is super safe.
The house was a nice size for the 7 of us. All adults and 1 child. There was a bedroom/playroom combo that was nice for us.
The kitchen is superbly outfitted. The beds/linens are wonderful too.
The house was super clean and Tom and Mai were so easy to work with!
The rental was perfect for our group of friends looking for a relaxing beach escape. The house itself was beautiful and well stocked (even had a Nespresso!). The location was perfect for us with a short walk to beach (and also tents/chairs for sitting on the sand). Communication was great. Mai was very helpful. Highly recommend this house/location!
The house was absolutely beautiful! The decor was exquisite. Very comfortable!
The house is well maintained and the house was exactly what the photos showed. The property manager gave clear directions from check in to check out. Very kind. The location was beautiful and the house was decorated so beautifully and very detailed. It was perfect and exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend staying at the Seaglass house.
Had a great time! 4 adults and 4 little ones all 3 and under stayed and the home was perfect for us. Short walk to the beach. Nice neighborhood. Tons of beach gear were supplied as well as towels. Toy/playroom was a great bonus! There was construction going on in the neighborhood while we were there but it didn’t bother us.
