We loved that there was plenty of seating and outdoor furniture. An awesome space to entertain! Unfortunately, the lever door was so easy for our almost 2 year old grandson to open we spent much of the time chasing and arranging furniture to keep him from getting out the front door fearful of him making it to the stairs. The home was well stocked with all manner of things to cook and prepare a meal easily which made life super easy. The beach toys and chairs accessibility was so great! The additional outdoor showers and huge yard to play in made this one of my favorites! Unfortunately, the full sized beds which we believed the description says Queen were so uncomfortable, my daughter and her family ended up leaving before our trip was over because she couldn’t sleep. Dusty AC vents made me fret a little, but not enough to clean. There were power outages two days in a row. Including the morning we were packing up to leave while we were cooking breakfast. Ended on a sour note for us since we were sweating and packing our car for the tight ride home. All in all…loved the beach!

The house was older than I thought it would be but it was great for us.
My son & dil adopted 4 kids and they had never been to the beach so they got the thrill trip of their lives. They live in western Oklahoma and they enjoyed the beach so much. We went to Rainforest to eat and they had a blast. It was a very good family vacation

This was a lovely beach house with plenty of space and supplies for a fun trip to the beach! A recent storm impacted the internet and the host made sure to call the cable company to get it resolved as fast as possible. This is a great place to stay with a big group, there is also a huge yard!

Great Beach House!
The amount of space at this place is amazing. Great house layout that provides plenty of space to accomodate a large group of people for gathering and sleeping. Very well stocked with dishes, silverware, cookware, etc....
Extra showers and bathroom outside was really nice after the beach. HUGE yard to play any kind of games you want. It was fun to hang out below the house at night time also. The beach is a short 10 minute walk or 1 minute drive. Highly recommend this place!

My family ( kids 3 and 5) stayed here for a full week and enjoyed it so much. Awesome house, kid friendly and so close to a not crowded beach. We brought a wagon and walked back and forth, really wonderful, we enjoyed it so much. The outdoor showers were amazing! Don’t forget bug spray! Mosquitos are awful ( not house specific but it was our first time in Galveston and we didn’t know haha)

First family vacation!
This was the first time we took our whole family on vacation and we had two adults and three kids ranging from 3-13. We loved the spacious and clean house, the ample seating areas outside, the large and airy bedrooms, and the privacy. My kids loved the dance floor outside (though there was some evidence of previous merrymaking gone awry in the form of dried vomit in one area) and we had a dance party. I loved the two porches, and shifted my lounging depending on where the breeze was. Our only complaints were that not all of the light fixtures were functional and we had to improvise on our first night when we cooked in the house and didn't have any oven mitts to get the food out of the oven.

Great House- fun trip
This was a great house. It was clean and had plenty of room for our group of 3 adults and 4 kids. It is close to the beach and away from the crowds in town...but not too far. We went into town almost every evening for dinner. The owner was very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this house. Our only complaint would be that the 2 queen beds were not the most comfortable. If the beds were better it would have been 5 stars. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

I would recommend this house to everyone looking for somewhere to stay in Galveston. It's a gorgeous property and it feels so homey. 5 stars in my book.

Nice stay
We had guests in for a wedding and needed extra sleeping accommodations. This house was a good comfortable and economical choice. Plenty of living space including patio space under the house and lots of extra parking and outdoor play space on big open lot. A little further from the beach than expected but still an easy enough walk.

Prime Location
We stayed during spring break 2017- The house was amazing, had everything that we needed.
We could set on 1 side of the home an see/hear the ocean or set on the other side and see the
bay. It is across the street from beach access but also only about 4-5 miles from Freeport which we enjoyed the beach area there more. I would for sure stay here again

Awesome!
The beach house was very comfortable and relaxing. It has everything you need. The beach was 2 blocks away. Great family environment. I would recommend it and would love to return again. Enjoy! A piece of advice always inspect any property you rent for any damages.

Big house and yard
The house was great, clean, comfortable and oh so quiet. Check in and check out was the smoothest I've ever had. Owners were great with answering any questions we had. Short walk to the beach and the outdoor showers were great for getting the sand off before we came back in. I have already recommended this house to several of my friends and will try to stay here again!

Great home for a vacation!
Our family of 9 comfortably stayed in this clean home. The A/C worked great. The check in and out process was great. The beach is a short drive away. We loved the availability of the outdoor showers and restrooms to keep from tracking sand into the house. The layout of the garage/under the house area allowed us to fellowship comfortably. The yard and decks were great.
