Great place to stay
This was the perfect place for us. Best equipped house I’ve ever stayed in. The only negative was the fridge smelled like fish. We will definitely book again

Fabulous Home
We had a fantastic weekend at this property. The check in was a breeze and the host was responsive, attentive and super nice. The home is decorated beautifully and very relaxing. It is an easy walk to the beach and the ground level of the house has lots of activities to keep people busy on a rainy day. The teens in our group especially loved hanging out down there. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, etc, and we were easily able to cook everything we needed. The grill also came in very handy. The mattresses were very comfortable, the layout of the house was great, and everyone had plenty of space. It was a rainy weekend and the giant games closet was also very handy. If we come back to Galveston it will be our go-to rental property for sure. We have nothing negative to report! Thank you for a great, problem free weekend!

Home Away From Home
This house feels like home! It’s the only place to stay if you have a family. Its prime location to the beach makes it a quick walk to the water. There’s all the games and beach toys you could ever want! My kids love the outdoor shower and my daughter got really good at Battleship at night. They have this amazing game closet! The beds are the best, I never want to leave them! But the patio for the my morning coffee is worth getting up. Book here and prepare for the vacation of a lifetime!

Just bring your clothes and food!
I booked Jimmie Hooks for a family summer vacation for my family of 4, as well as my brother and sister and their family. To start, our hostess Nancy had good communication; first to let us know we could check in early. Yes!! And she made sure we arrived ok and were able to access the property. The home was very clean. We cooked and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed. Oh, and there is a grill outside too! The place had it all. We had 3 small kids and 3 teenagers in our group and there was plenty of entertainment for all. From board games to books etc. We didn't have infants or toddlers in our group but the place was equipped with high chairs, a pack, and plays etc. The same was true when we geared up to head to the beach. All beach amenities are included in the home, tents boogie boards, beach toys, an umbrella, and a cart to pull it all. And btw...the beach was only a 2-minute walk. No need for a car or golf cart. Upon returning from the beach we all relished the outdoor shower that has hot and cold water along with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The bar outside was a nice touch. I felt like we had our own little private party oasis. The neighborhood was very nice and everyone was so friendly smiling and waving as they pass by. We all agreed this was the best beach house to rent for families with children of all ages. Will definitely recommend Jimmie Hooks to my family and friends.

Best Beach House in Galveston
First, the hospitality shown by the owner was seriously exceptional. The communication from the owner (Nancy) was top notch. Nancy was extremely helpful providing information about the property with precise details to aid in making sure my family and I had the best experience possible. I was very grateful for the communication. The property’s location is perfect for beach lovers like myself. Just a 2 minute walk to the beach; not to mention a convenient store, liquor store, and a pizza place all within walking distance. Bottom line, this is the absolute best beach house I have ever stayed in. Beautiful house with everything stocked with what you need to have a fabulous vacation stay with your family. This experience was a 10 out of 10 for me and my family! We will certainly be back!

Excellent beach getaway
We had the greatest time at Jimmy Hooks! The accommodations were spacious and there were so many areas to enjoy and have fun, both kids and adults alike. The walk to the beach was easy and the hosts offered everything you could need - a wagon for toting items, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, sand toys. The list goes on and on, not to mention the indoor amenities - games, books, a fully stocked kitchen. Top it off, the hosts were very friendly and attentive, making sure all went smoothly. We are already excited to go back!
