Location and Perks are Tops!
What a great stay! Location is the best! Walking distance to beach, food, parks, everything you could want. The house is well stocked with essentials and the perks of the grill and fire pit made the stay extra special. Our dog loved it and so did we. Phil was so easy to work with and very helpful. I look forward to staying again!!

Thanksgiving Getaway
The property was very clean and well kept. We had the whole backyard to ourselves for the trip and my 4 dogs loved it. Communication with the host was fast and he was quick to address any issues. Overall one of our favorite places we have stayed in. My only negative about the place is being you are so close to the neighbors you can hear everything going on around you.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed the Surf Shack. It’s a small house but very cute and with a nice backyard (which our dog appreciated). Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The house has everything you need including towels, plates/cups, and most importantly GREAT A/C! You’ll be about three city blocks from the Pleasure Pier and seawall, so bring comfy shoes and it’s an easy walk to the beach.

Very nice property
The house and property manager were great. My husband and I were able to walk from the house to the seawall. The location was close to almost everywhere.

Galveston Surf Shack
Property was as described and very clean. Really enjoyed the fenced in yard for our dogs and the fire pit with firewood. Was kinda bummed when internet was totally down for 24 hours, which means no tv service. Location and ease of walking to beach, places to eat and drink where a plus.

Loved it!
Such a great place to stay! It was close to the beach and to so many restaurants. I took my pups with us and I was glad to see that there was a fence around the property for them to be able to run around. Would definitely recommend staying here and will definitely book with him in the future.

Perfect location, 4-5 minute walk to the beach and Pleasure Pier, very clean and nicely appointed house. Major perk was having the washer and dryer available, made packing up and unpacking at home a breeze. Would stay again!

Close to the beach
Close to the beach to enjoy each morning. Being so close to walk, saved money not paying for parking. Plan to use again.

Fun Family Vacation
My In-Laws and my little sister-in-law were visiting from Tennessee. I help them find this rental and we stayed with them for a few days. It was a great property! My husband and I have a pomeranian mix and he loved the backyard. It is only a short walk to the beach and pleasure pier. The owner was very responsive and flexible when my in laws needed to check in early. My family will definitely consider booking here again and maybe booking both units.

This was a GREAT place to stay! It’s walking distance to the beach, restaurants, playground, tennis courts, skate park and a dog park. The house has a nice fenced in backyard with a grill and fire pit. It’s clean and has everything we needed for a nice getaway. The owner was very helpful when needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay
We loved our stay at this house. The fencing was great in the front and back yard. It really helped keep our doggies safe and secure. The BBQ grill was handy and had the basic tools we needed to cook both outside and in the house. It was an easy walk to the beach and central to the sites we like to visit. We would definitely stay here again.
