Lovely stay

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We were there a few weeks after a hurricane so the pool wasn’t in great shape and locked up, which was a little disappointing for my nine year old but understandable. The host was very responsive when I reached out about the grill not working. Overall, great stay.

Last minute Getaway

We planned a last minute vacation for one day before school started and the beach house was perfect for us with the pool right across the street. I could sit on the porch and watch them swim. Loved the house!

I rewarded my family for their help to a vacation on Bolivar and Galveston. My grandchildren got to see the Gulf for the first time. They all had a blast and loved the house. Practically brand new and clean as can be. Great trip. Thank you.

Cute House!

Quiet, small neighborhood just a short walk from the beach. Chelsea was very responsive and accommodating. If you want to spend any time outside, you must not fail to have bug spray.

Weekend Getaway

We loved everything about the house and the area that we were in. We had some fun neighbors that helped us enjoy the experience. The pictures were a little misleading though because I was under the impression that the pool was private, as well as the deck. Unless I overlooked something, it didn’t specify in the listing that this was a community pool so unfortunately, since it was so crowded the whole time we never got to swim. We definitely made the best of the experience though so everything asside from that was great. I definitelyy loved the complementary pods! My friends were soo pleased and greatful for my pick.

Stay at Sand in my Boots

The house was clean and welcoming. Communication was great with host. The storm did cause some damage to community pool so it was not available. The grill needed some repair as it was damaged by water and the corn hole boards were broken. The amenities were nicely stocked and the home was cozy. The location was a nice distance from beach and we enjoyed or stay overall. I would definitely inquire about pool if that is of interest to you. Its part of the community so host has little control over its availability. In this case the storm damaged the pump etc.
