Beautiful home with amazing views, steps from the beach
We brought our 16 year old son and friends to enjoy the beach for the weekend. This house was perfect for our trip. I used the kitchen quite a bit to cook breakfast and dinner. The layout of the rooms made it nice for the boys to sleep upstairs and hang out while we were sleeping downstairs. The views from the living room and master bedroom are amazing. We enjoyed watching the boys playing on the beach while sitting inside in the comforts of the living room. They played spike ball on the beach as well as frisbee and football. The deck was gorgeous and I enjoyed laying in a chair and reading a book to the sound of the ocean. It got a little windy so I enjoyed going inside to enjoy the views without the wind. There were 2 grocery stores within minutes of this place. It was beautifully decorated with electric shutters. The beds were comfortable. I’ve already looked at the summer schedule to see if we can come back to this place.

Galveston Summer Vacay
As advertised! The first thing you take in are the views of the beach and gulf from the huge bay windows and we were bought in. Very clean and more than enough room for our family. We felt like we had our own private beach with the private walkover bridge. The beach is 30 seconds away! Huge bedrooms & bathrooms w/ great amenities. Only about 25 minutes from Gaido's even during peak traffic! This is a great place for a good sized family getaway.

Very nice vacation home for a family.
Very lovely property. Clean and well stocked. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the deck. Large, but I wish I had noticed that there was no covered area. The sun is just too brutal in summer to have no protection at all. And the furniture is old and falling apart. 3 chairs split and the backs attached to arms gave way while sitting in them. Scary for my 83 year old father. Easy to fix, corrosion happens in the salty air. But they should be replaced before someone falls and gets hurt. Or consider reducing how many tables and chairs are on the deck so that you can see the ocean from the lounge chairs. All the tables block the view!!!!

Found our beach house!
We’ve stayed in this area of the island in several houses over the years but this house is a standout. We will definitely rent it again and my kids are planning on a time to bring their friends along because there is so much room. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever had in a rental. The main rooms have stunning unobstructed views of the water and the deck was a favorite early morning spot for all of us. The kids played board games (they have a huge selection to choose from) at the dining table while we were cooking and relaxing in the living room all while soaking in the amazing views. The hurricane shutters allowed the baby to nap peacefully in a totally dark bedroom in the middle of the day. There was nothing that was an issue in this house. We had a wonderful week.

Amazing family vacation
Ours was a multi-generational family reunion. The house is beautiful with multiple views of the ocean, private access to the beach, and great hospitality spaces in the house. We are already planning to return for our family gathering next year. Five stars all around.
