We loved staying at Jack's home. It was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location is great, just a quick walk across the road to the beach. We took our adult son and his family with 2 children. It was peaceful and relaxing. I loved sitting on the porch and looking at the ocean. I will definitely book again!!

As a large family of 7, with kids ranging from 1-15yrs old, we needed a beach house for our 7 night stay. This place checked everything on our list. Affordable, can sleep 7+, Walking distance to the beach, and a beautiful ocean view. Jake was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall stay was good. There were a few things that proved a little difficult. When we first got there, the keypad to get into the property didn't really work (if there was a "trick" to get it to work, we were not informed of this). Luckily the owner also provides a key in a lock box that we used the whole stay. The door was difficult to open and you had to throw your weight into it to open and close it. The property overall was fairly clean...you could see dirt and grime along baseboards and other random areas...not terrible just not "super clean". One of the towels I used definitely covered me in small black hairs, ick.
We had made plans to cook for 2 meals a day which unfortunately was a major task. The oven, although it feels hot, took more than 3x the amount of time of normal instructions. Spent over 30 min cooking 1 corndog which wasn't all the way cooked and we cooked 1 pan of bacon that took over an hour making us late in the morning. The toaster burns your food to a crisp and is half broken. The microwave and fridge work fine. The dishwasher had no power to it which we notified the owner and he got someone out next day. Once it had power it still wouldn't run a load of dishes no matter what we tried. (Again if there was a weird quirky nuance to know on making it work, we didn't get those instructions). We couldn't get the grill to fire up either (we grill a lot so we feel like it should be pretty easy to figure out but again could be user error).

We celebrated my girlfriend's 21st birthday here last weekend and we had a blast. The place was just the right size for me, her and 2 of her other friends to relax, cook, and sleep comfortably. It is about a 25 minute drive from Galveston City, but we didn't mind as that gave us space to be loud while playing Cards Against Humanity at midnight, LOL. But overall, excellent little house at a decent price between 4 people. Only issue we had was the AC air filter was bent and needed replacing, but that didn't really bother us. I definitely would recommend this place if you want a weekend getaway on the island away from a lot of other people. We will be coming back here whenever we do decide to do another Galveston weekend trip.

The house was perfect for our family and a few extended family members to all be able to stay together. Amenities were as described. Nice towels, comfortable beds. The kids loved playing on the Wii. Quiet neighborhood with very close assess to the beach. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
Jack communicated info about our stay well ahead of time, as well as getting the door code to us ahead of our check-in time. Great host!

Our family loved this house. It was bright and welcoming and comfortable. Our family of 5 had plenty of room and the house had everything we needed for the week. The beach across the street was never crowded!

Awesome mini vaca
Property was amazing and everything was better than expectation. Jack answered any questions we had promptly. Anything needed was at the house. My kids were so happy to be on the deck and eat breakfast while looking at the ocean. They didn’t want to leave. Thanks again for the hospitality.

Perfect get away!
We enjoy the quite neighborhood and the close proximity to the beach. Drive a couple blocks to the beach and park right on the beach. Almost a private beach for the number of people there. Perfect place to look for seashells.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Cute little beach house with everything you need
We spent a long weekend here with 2 adults, 2 young adults and 2 teens. Plenty of space for everyone and nicely decorated. Facilities were clean and updated and lots of extras included like detergent and shampoo! We enjoyed our time here and will return!

This house looks just as it is featured in the listing. It is a couple of rows back from beachfront but due to some missing houses you can see the beach from the front balcony and hear the waves. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Kept all out beach gear in the car until we were ready to go to the beach. Used the close public access and was able to drive right onto the beach and park. The house is tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. Keyless entry didn’t work great but the backup lock box with physical key got us in.

Great location. A few updates needed, door locks, porch lights upstairs didn't, floors needed to be cleaned a little better. Overall we had a blast. Quiet neighborhood. Owner was very responsive to all my questions.

Beautiful and relaxing
Great stay, We loved this place. Property was accommodating to our family of 6 and 1 year old. We were happy to see a high chair available for use. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. Nice view of the Gulf from the front porch. Interior design and decor is very clean with modern beach vibes. Would book again in the future.

Nice overall property but definitely needs a deep clean. Ceiling fan blades were dirty. Pans for cooking were terrible, Closets for hanging clothes were full and stuff just piled up

Cute house in quiet area
Cute house, nice quiet location, comfortable beds. There was no driveway and it rained pretty hard over night so we were a little concerned about the car getting stuck, but it didn’t thankfully. . There were a few deferred maintenance items that could’ve used some attention, but overall it was a cute, cozy little place with easy access to the beach. My kids loved it!

Great Place to stay
This place was perfect for my family. We fit 8 people comfortably. The kids were excited to see that the place had a Wii game system with games. The beach nearby was quite and not crowded like it is near the hotels and the piers. We were able to fish and enjoy the beach. Restaurants and stores are about 15 to 20 minutes away, so be sure to get your groceries before you get there.
The outdoor shower was very useful and the kitchen has everything you will need. There were plenty of blankets and towels. We would definitely return to this beautiful place.

I was hoping this vacation would be more about relaxing and spending time with my kids. Boy did it deliver, the house is located south (?) of the city. No traffic, minimal amount of people on the beach and a quite neighborhood. It has an amazing view of the Gulf and it only took minutes to get there. Jack was so easy to work with, check in amd check out was easy, he even recommended some amazing restaurants! There were six of us that stayed in the house, there was enough room that we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other, everyone had their space. I would definitely recommend this place if you are wanting to get away from the busyness of the city, however you aren’t to far from the city if you want to explore a bit. We are looking forward to another trip and will definitely be booking this house again. Thank you Jack!!
