This house was PERFECT for my mom's 91st bday celebration! It was clean, the weather and the view were spectacular, the beds were comfortable and the living room, dining room and kitchen were very accommodating for both children and adults. There was a good supply of cooking utensils - pans, bowls, cutlery, plates, etc. The very large table in the dining room was a great place for meals, group discussions and games. The ramp made unpacking and packing very manageable. We have rented many houses in Galveston through the years, but this house, by far, is the best one yet! We cannot wait to stay at this house again in the near future.

The location was great, just steps from the beach, and the view was definitely a highlight. The house had plenty of space, and the check-in process was easy. That said, a few things kept it from being a 5-star stay. The cleanliness could have been better (some areas felt overlooked), a few amenities were either outdated or not working as expected, and the house was missing even the most basic essentials — no trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, dish or hand soap, or wash cloths were provided. It wasn’t a bad stay overall, but with a little more attention to detail (and stocking the basics), it could have been much better.

Best thing about the property is proximity to the beach. The ramp was nice. It really needs a deep cleaning and decluttering. It met all our needs though and after we adjusted we had a great time. We’ve stayed in many Galveston beach front properties and this one definitely needs some upgrades.

Absolutely perfect! Located right by the beach, this house was clean and has so much space. If you need anything, Galveston is just a short 15-20 minute drive. The beach was maintained and never crowded. We will for sure be returning. Also, we have to give a shout out to a local pizzeria, the Way West Grill and Pizzeria was fabulous. Located in Jamaica Beach, so not even 7 minutes, this mom and pop restaurant has the best thin crust pizza and the service was amazing. Our daughter had a quesadilla, and let me tell you, that thing was stuffed full of chicken and cheese. So trust us- you won’t regret staying here! Beautiful place, small town feel, right on the water- absolutely best vacation this year.

This house is the best! It is comfy, clean, attractive, plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, etc. and the AC works great! The ramp makes coming, going, loading and unloading super easy. Not many (or maybe not any) have that feature. It is also closer to the beach than most beachfront rentals. My family has rented in Galveston every summer for the past 40 years, and we’ve stayed in just about every type of home imaginable and this is my favorite of all. Also, the beach is not packed with day trippers like most of the locations in this area. That’s a huge plus. The front sliding door was a bit difficult to open and close, but that could happen anywhere.

Wonderful Beach Access!!!
We had a lovely stay! The house looks just like the photos and was very comfortable. Plenty of bedrooms and the windows in the living/dining area had a direct view of the gulf, plus direct access to the beach. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the waves. The owners instructions were easy to follow and they were extremely response when we had a question about working the TV. They followed up with texts and a phone call (TV was working fine - user error working the remote!!!) We would love to come back!

View is unbelieveably peacefully beautiful
House is very nice. Just as shown in photos. It was rainy the 1st couple of days, so we had some mud downstairs to contend with, but doable. Unfortunately, we had a family member become critically ill and had to be admitted to UTMB ICU, so we did not get to spend as much time on the porch as we would have liked, but what we did, was beautiful. Host was great at communication.

We had a wonderful time! The house is truly directly on the water. Which helped a lot with the senior citizens that were with us along with the ramp leading to the beach. If you enjoy brightly colored rooms with beach decor, this is the house with you. No room, disappointed there was so much to look at and taken. The furnishings in the house had everything that we needed.
