We had a wonderful time at this beautiful place. So peaceful to sit out on the deck in the morning and drink my coffee and then in the evening have a nice cold drink.
The house is in great location! It’s roomy and the backyard with the deck is so nice!! There was a cat that perched on the back porch whining and acting like it wanted in. I tapped on the window and it ran off.

Amazing stay!
Great place to relax after our busy city visits, was located in a quiet neighbourhood just a short drive to the beach.
The layout suited our family and the outside areas were lovely to relax in and enjoy the lake and sunshine.
Would definitely use again if we visit Galveston in the future.
Short trip to make memories for husband on hospice
Everything was great. We didn’t get to stay our whole trip but would come back again. Some areas were not as clean as I would have liked to see but overall was a great stay.

Great place
House was clean and well stocked i quite neighborhood. Excellent location near Moody Gardens and the beach. A little chilly to enjoy the great outdoor space.
The place was amazing. Really enjoyed staying at this property with my family. We were here for our Granddaughters gymnastics competition. The property was perfect location, only five minutes away from the gymnastics at convention center. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Gareth and Chastidy.

The best spot in Galveston
This place is quite literally the best spot in Galveston. It's not far from the strand or from the beach and the neighborhood is very inviting and relaxing. The deck is wonder full and the house is great for bigger groups. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Galveston.

Great Location and House was Perfect!
Came into town for my daughter's cheer competition. Location couldn't be more perfect.... right around the corner from Moody Garden. Neighborhood is very quiet, and house was warm and welcoming!! we will be staying here again if we have events in Galveston to attend!
Location is close to everything. Home is adequately furnished. Back deck is a quiet spot with a beautiful view to enjoy the evening. We had a full moon on the water! Would stay here again

Wonderful, beautiful views. Nice neighborhood
This home is everything the pictures show plus more. The master bedroom was huge, with a big bathroom with nice jacuzzi style tub with jets and a separate shower. The outside area is even better with 2 decks.
We were in town for a cheer competition at Moody Gardens. This place was perfect, located across the street from Moody Gardens we were able to get back and forth with no issues. We enjoyed our time at the house and the kids were able to some fun outside. The house is very spacious, and we plan to be back next year.
The house has ample room to accommodate a larger party. We stayed with only 2 adults and 2
kids + our dog. The kids loved having room options! We loved the decks and water location. It’s close to Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, and the beach. Parking is easy. The neighborhood is safe. Recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Perfect house on the canal to enjoy the water and relax
We stayed during the week, the house is gorgeous, clean & perfect for a relaxing vacation right on the canal with easy access to the bay. This house has a lovely large master bedroom, with two rooms upstairs with two full beds in each room. We caught a redfish & a few speckled trout right off the dock where we kept our boat during our time there. The location is very quiet & we will definitely come back in the future.
The name of this property is 100% correct. It is an oasis. Check-in was easy, the home is beautiful, and everything we needed was available, from comfortable beds to plenty of towels and coffee. The views from the deck are beautiful - I loved having coffee every morning and watching the fish jump. Would definitely book again!

This place rocked.
We decided last minute to spend time in Galveston to celebrate a family birthday and we’re lucky enough to Hager this place. It was warm, inviting, clean, well landscaped, fantastic back patio area. We were all relaxed when we left. Thank you Gareth for helping us make it a fabulous weekend. Only downside is Chiefs lost … but can’t hold that against them ; ).

Graduation
Beauty on the Water was the perfect vacation house for my family (6 adults) to relax after my daughter's graduation at Moody Gardens Convention Center. It is a very nice house with plenty of space. My only regret is we did not rent it for a longer time.
Fantastic place, wish we had more time to stay, just a quick fishing trip this go around. The house was conveniently located and maintained very well. Only thing I would suggest is to bring your own pillows if you prefer a firm one, and bug spray if you’re going down by the water. ( I had half the blood sucked out of my body!) Other than that, everything was perfect
