Everything was wonderful! The house was beautiful and so accommodating. The views were beautiful. The kids were excited about the arcade game. We loved it!
This was a great house with a fantastic location. There were a lot of activities available in the house for the kids. Kitchen was great and stocked sufficiently for a vacation rental. Beach was great. The house was also super close to a convenient mini grocery store, so no need to drive back to Galveston.
We wanted to slow down after the busy holidays and this property was perfect. It was clean, comfortable beds, and full kitchen. The beach was visible and only 50 yards away, and with no cars on the beach it was a very peaceful place to walk along. We appreciated the host allowing use of their beach chairs and other items. It was a great stay and highly recommend!
Was a perfect little get away with my daughter & granddaughter. Nice grocery store next door & easy walk to private beach. I haven’t had a host that responds so fast & makes check in very easy. Oh.. & my granddaughter loved the arcade game so much she asked for it for Christmas 😂
Forgot the day of the week by the end of the first day
Great place in a fabulous and quiet location. Super easy to get to the beach and perfect views of the ocean. Plenty of supplies provided. Would definitely recommend.
We came to Galveston to celebrate our daughters birthday! The house is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive. The location is perfect. The beach wasn’t crowded and just close enough to go into Galveston for food/entertainment without all the hustle and bustle. Thank you for a great weekend at the beach!
Nice and updated condo. Able to park right by entry. The view of the beach was great and very easy walk to the beach. The evenings were colder and the fireplace was great! We like the puzzles and games as well. There are a few stairs but very manageable. Thanks!
We go to Galveston every fall for a family vacation, and this is our new favorite spot! Our kids LOVED all of the fun extras at this house, and I loved all of the beach toys/wagon that were ready to go for us. It made packing so much easier! The house was adorable, clean, and perfect walking distance to the beach. We would love to come back next year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
This townhouse marks off all the must haves for beach vacation:1. quick, scenic walk to beach with great views 2. fun beach vibes decor with added bonus of arcade games 3. clean, 4. clear quick communication with hosts. 5. Location: quiet beach away from the crowds yet still near the action 6. Well equipped kitchen with all items for meals.
Nice clean home with a short distance to the private beach. 150 yards from the public beach access. Traveled over the 4th and watched lots of fireworks from the beach.
We had a wonderful experience at this property and it’s a perfect place for a Galveston getaway! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, welcoming, and exactly as described in the listing. The home was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay—plenty of kitchen essentials, soft linens, and cozy touches that made it feel like home. Not to mention, the location is just steps away from a gas station with a grocery store that has everything you need! The walk to the beach was short and easily accessible.
