Peaceful We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—just steps from the sand with stunning sunset views. Can’t wait to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this fabulous house. Plenty of room for our group to enjoy. I especially liked the spacious bathrooms and big walk-in showers! The space is as pictured and described. Everything you need for a wonderful beach vacation.
Although weather had us leaving early, the location and the property itself will hopefully have us coming back to enjoy! The place is beautiful! Hope to return!
This beach house is the perfect blend of coastal charm and comfort. It’s modern yet cozy, with soft, neutral tones that complement the beach's natural beauty. It’s peaceful and has just the right touches to make beautiful memories with your family. We loved every minute here. Highly Recommended!
Beautiful home in a great location. Short walk to the beach in a quiet, adorable neighborhood. The home was very clean and inviting. We loved it and we’ll definitely be back.
The house was very nice and clean. Great layout and sleeping arrangements for 2 families. The location was great and the beach and area was so nice and quiet. Our kids loved all the outdoor areas nearby to run around and throw a ball around, etc. highly recommend!
We celebrated our daughter's sweet 16 birthday at this location with several of her friends and it was perfect! The main living area is very spacious so everyone had room to spread out and be comfortable, play games, etc. Nice balconies for group photos, overall a very well kept beach house. We've used Vrbo many times and this is our second time in a location managed by BeachBox who did a great job communicating and making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back!
My fiancé, some old childhood friends, and I enjoyed a calm trip to Galveston. Home was incredibly spacious and provided adequate kitchen tools to cook meals. The home had board games, many TV’s, and was a short walk from the beach. The neighborhood is quiet and 15 minutes away from Pleasure Pier, only 20 minutes from the port. Overall, I would recommend this listing to my family and friends.
Great location and house was very nice and new as well. This location was right in between the Pier and north end of the island, about 10 minutes to the pier.
Check in was pretty easy with a lock box and home owner provided many things like soap, towels, and beach boys in garage area.
Highly recommend!
The beach house is in a great location right outside the busy part of Galveston but close to everything. The Beach house is very spacious and very clean. The front door was a little tricky to lock and unlock but once the manager explained to us how to do it it was not a problem again. Beds were very comfortable and a lot of room to spread out in living room and kitchen. We will definitely be back here.
The home was beautiful and short walk to the beach access. Newer development with high end vacation homes. Home is decorated nicely and plenty of space for everyone. Short drive to area attractions and restaurants. Property owner / management is quick to respond to any questions or any issues that may come up. Family had a great relaxing stay for a week. I would highly recommend staying at the home if looking for a place in Galveston.
Beautiful home with great location of beach. Had a few issues:Front door was very hard to unlock and also lock. There was a trick to it which could have been given this information before our stay. Fire alarm would not turn off and there was no smoke in the house. Called for assistance twice and took too long to respond so we just removed the batteries. Master bathroom sink and toilet leak water onto floor. Master shower was clogged up so we had to use plunger. There is a piece of dried up gum stuck to the rug next to the bed. Downstairs bath was clogged as well. Pans to cook in were definitely NOT non stick as every one we cooked in, all types of food stuck to the pans. Otherwise, It is definitely a big beautiful home and a great location. There were 8 of us and we enjoyed our stay. Master bed was incredibly comfortable.

The home is in a great location and a quick walk to the beach.
We did have some problems with the oven and had a difficult time getting it to work. When we finally did the smoke alarms started going off. It was very frustrating. Maintenance came out and the knobs on the oven had been replaced but they were not the correct knobs for this particular model. The house decor is beautiful and very inviting but it has definitely been used and needs updating. The house was clean but not cleaned well. It was disappointing that the home accommodated 10 people but they did not have enough bowls or plates. The property managers were helpful and tried to accommodate our needs which was appreciated.
Not sure I would stay at this rental property again.
Very nice place. Good location good neighborhood. But the front door is a big problem. Not only was it very and I mean very hard to open and close. Also because you have to pull so hard on the door to close it the door handle is getting messed up from having to pull so hard to close the door.
You cannot lock it from the inside of the house. Meaning when it is time to go to bed you could not lock the door from the inside of the house. You could lock it with a key from the outside of the house but not from the inside. I told the contact and they put somebody on it that told me that I would figure it out. I have storm doors almost exactly like these at my place I know that the locking mechanism that I wrote about above is messed up.
Had I known about this issue before deciding to stay there. I would have looked around more and picked somewhere else to stay.
Also the back door to the house which is upstairs from the master bedroom has a locking issue as well but was easy to open and close. but you could not lock it from the inside as well.

Wonderful get-a-way
Overall, this is a beautiful property in an upscale beach community. I really want to rate our stay as a 5 star but cannot due to several issues we had with our stay.
1) Beach Box completely failed us, but Manager made it right and took care of us in the end. I would be happy to share details if you want to reach out.
2) Cleanliness of home was less than satisfactory. The air vents in two bedrooms were caked with dirt and we literally had to purchase mold & mildew cleaner for the main bathroom shower stall. Down stairs bath tub had hair residue left in it which looked like the tub may not have drained well when it was cleaned last. Both sofa beds had food particles on the mattresses and we had to clean them before using.
3) Home has damages to walls throughout the home and has a broken mini blind slat in main bathroom. We took pictures of all damages in the event the Property Manager claims these damages occurred during our visit.
Front door obviously has water damage (could be from recent storm) However, door is very difficult to open and close. Door handle is loose and needs to be adjusted.
Having said all of this, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this home, and we were pleased with the amenities offered. (WiFi was down the entire stay due to recent storm! But, gave us all a much needed break from being connected!)
