The house has great location, on a short dead-end street, right on the beach with easy access. A great grocery store and diner within walking distance. 15-20 minutes from Galveston proper.
It’s a very nice place. There are a lot of good stores nearby. We had a good time while we were there. The beach is great and the views from the deck were amazing.
Cute beach house. Not fancy but great price and location. Perfect for a quick getaway or a long leisurely vacation. Perfect view of the beach and gulf. 10/10 would recommend
Great location for a small group. Perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. Appliances look new and house was neat and clean. Shaded deck with terrific view of the Gulf.
Very nice and clean house. Easy access to the beach. Love the view from the covered deck. Wish the grill would have been there and the washer and dryer would help with wet clothes but overall it was well worth the price and will rent again.
Clean and very cute place. it’s older but had a homey feel and was very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Relaxed and enjoyed listening to the waves. I have no complaints at all. Owners responded to our question about the internet very quickly. All was good and I’d stay there again.
Nice little beach house for a couple or small family wanting easy access to the beach. The covered deck is amazing with a great view! Accommodations are older and very basic, for example there is no dishwasher, but we enjoyed our time there. One caveat, the bathtub and bathroom floor are extremely slippery when wet!
House is cute. The location is great. The host was super easy to reach and communication was great.
There was an odor that would come and go, I am not sure if it was the house itself, or if it was from the plumbers that were working on something 2 doors down, but the host had maintenance out first thing the next morning to check it out (keep in mind, i was texting the host at 11pm, so the next morning was 100% above and beyond). I am sure the host would fix anything they could if there is a problem.
There was a pretty severe storm with high winds and this little house is super sturdy considering it is on stilts and right on the ocean.
To the host, i would say thankyou for a lovely stay.
This was absolutely the perfect little beach house! Right on the beach, very cute interior, porch was half covered so you could sit out in the middle of the day, outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off before going inside….Owner was fabulous in helping w/ a missed cleaning before we checked in. Cannot wait to stay here again when we want a quiet, peaceful stay at the beach!
The location was excellent. The views were great. The neighborhood was quiet. The house is needing some minor repairs. It did have air conditioning, but the window units struggled to keep up with the heat and humidity of the day. Overall for a short stay, it was good. If we would have stayed longer, it wouldn't have been adequate.
