Beautiful home on the gulf! It was well stocked and the host left a really nice welcome basket with various amenities. Beautifully decorated and clean. I would highly recommend this property
We loved it!! Every day was spent walking the beach & watching sunrise. It's location was close to downtown area with things to do. Would definitely stay here again
This group of friends does an annual fall trip to Galveston. In our 10 year history this is our very favorite house! It’s the second time for us and even better than the first. The home is spacious, beautiful and well appointed and the beach views are lovely! We especially live the big, well stocked kitchen. We hope to return next year!!!
Beautiful home with amazing views and close to the city! The house is just as it's described and pictured in the listing. All 4 beds were very comfortable along with the furniture in the living room. Will definitely book this property again in the future.
Beautiful house. Well furnished. Great access to beach.Unfortunately there was a new house under construction 5 feet away. As there are no window blinds on that side of the house we had zero privacy in the first floor and were waken at 7am every weekday.floor and firts fllor deck.
Lone Star Motorcycle Rally. Our church motorcycle group of 8 stayed for a long weekend.
This property was amazing! Very clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
All beds were comfortable with private bathrooms.
Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a beach house..
The only thing I would change was the amount of towels and washcloths provided to shower. A few extra per bathroom would enable the women to have enough for hair and body.
Beautiful property and will be back next year for the same event!
Overall, a lovely property in a fun area. The weather did not cooperate for us at all, but that can’t be helped. The house has everything you’d want as a renter. One of the shower curtains appeared to be moldy on the inside, the primary shower floor has very slippery tile but the appliances and ambiance of the nearby beach make up for that. The unfortunate part of our stay (other than the dense fog every day) is that a home being constructed right next door made for horrendous noise, even with the doors closed.
We had a really good time at Osprey Watch. The home is as described and we had everything as if we were at home. Right on the beach and easy to get to. Close to places to go and to eat. Don’t miss Moody Gardens excellent place to go. You’ll enjoy your stay. Owners you have a beautiful home!!
Home was right on the beach, great views, walk to the shore.Well appointed house, great decks, very comfortable.Not far from downtown, restaurants, shopping.
We had a beautiful stay! We used to rent this beach house with another company and when we got the chance to stay here again we jumped at the chance. Everything was better than we ever remembered it. The views were beautiful and the house was cleaner than any other rental we have stayed in. Thanks for a wonderful stay, hope to come back next year!
Our group of 5 ladies had an enjoyable visit at Osprey Watch. We traveled to Galveston for a baby shower nearby.The host answered all our questions and responded to our needs quickly. The house was clean but could use some updating mostly on the outside. There is a house right next door under construction that could cause some issues for some but didn't for our group.
The location on the beach and proximity to town are great. I rented the house next door too and that was how we got to the beach. No direct beach access is not clear in the listing. The house itself is lovely. Plenary of room and amenities. I would rent again.
