The property manager was responsive and accommodating. The property itself has the most beautiful views and is only a few steps from the beach. The downstairs living area is large and we appreciated the large dining table for our group of 6. We had an excellent time and would stay here again.

And the house was very nice. The owner was very easy to communicate with and the home is well stocked with a nice yard and balcony. And did we mention the view.

To start with few positives -
The location and view from living room / porch is amazing. It's right on the beach, just few steps away.
The living room and master bedroom was in good condition.
Lots of board games for kids, adults for entertainment.
Parking is enough for 2 cars (it's not covered though). The area on the ground is good, we enjoyed that one with soothing sound of waves.
Now some major concerns we had -
The biggest concern is hygiene - we stayed with children and seeing really big cockroaches in the kitchen area is the worst thing. Not sure if it's getting cleaned properly after every stay.
The house is pretty old including old appliances, old furniture and it needs to be upgraded. Bathrooms are old fashioned too.
There were no supplies for pantry, very limited toiletries (only a single toilet paper roll is not what you expect when you book the house for 8 adults).
The host mentioned the house is for 10, but we thought the max occupancy is 6/7 because of very compact bedrooms upstairs. The queen bed was not comfortable too.
You will feel the house wobbles or moves like a pendulum when someone is walking or climbing the stairs on the second floor.
Unless you're a small group and ready to adjust with the cons, we wouldn't recommend it!

Enjoyed our stay. Owners were super accommodating and quick to respond to our questions. Home was clean, well supplied, and the location was great. A few steps from the water. Location was quiet and pleasant. Will definitely reserve this home again without question.

We had a great time celebrating a 60 & 80 bdays. Well equipped kitchen. The home looked exactly as the pictures. Very comfortable for 8 people and our pooch. 🐶
The deck very nice with beautiful ocean views. Thanks to George our host very accommodating.

Great option to fully enjoy our beautiful Gulf of Mexico! The direct beach access was amazing. Although the beach is public, driving is not allowed on it and there were rarely many other folks nearby. It's only a short drive back into heart of Galveston, but you're far enough out for a feeling of seclusion and privacy. Great property and location!
5.0
This home was perfect for my family of 4 adults and 2 small children. Path to beach was short and convenient — can’t beat the location. Plenty of counter and cabinet space in kitchen…the fridge is spacious and made tons of ice…very functional and well equipped! The owner is very responsive and proactive. Would rent this property again!

Beautiful property with all amenities you would need to relax and enjoy the Gulf Coast. Great parking, quick walk to the beach to enjoy the warm waters, easy to find, with a lot of cute shops to pick up groceries, a quick bite, etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will keep the property in mind if we venture back to the Gulf Coast!
5.0
Very nice property, clean, as advertised and sleeping arrangements and bathrooms met our needs with 6 adults and one child.
The only item that made a little annoyance was the neighbors dogs started to bark between 5 and 6 am every day. This is obviously out of the owner’s control but worth a note.

Our family really enjoyed our week on the beach! The house was very comfortable and clean. Awesome views of the gulf, easy access to the beach, and good, clear communication from the owner. A few more bath towels would've been nice (only 4 provided and there were 6 of us) but we made do. There is a washing machine/dryer conveniently located in the kitchen, just bring with or buy laundry detergent. We shopped downtown on Strand St, personally, I liked the downtown shops over Murdocks (overpriced). We also went to Pleasure Pier, which was nice but we could've done without and saved some money. The beach was wonderful! Not crowded at all. It is about 15-20 minute drive back into town where there is a Walmart/kroger/target. Overall, the property was great! We made ourselves at home and enjoyed a very relaxing week on the beach!!

Nice house. Needs a little work but comfortable. Deck is in need of repairs and not good for little dogs or small kids. Beach view is amazing and a short walk to a fairly private beach. Would stay again.

Our stay was awesome and the location was great. The only issues we had was the blinds didn't work in the main bedroom and several lighting issues in the living room and outside on the upper deck. Overall, it was great and plan to be back.
Thank you!!

Property was in need of TLC. Paint was rusting, peeling in kitchen, no handrail for the last 3-4 steps up to the front door, couldn’t open/close kitchen window …..lots of minor things.
View and beach access were great. Owner was very accessible when I contacted him before our stay.

We stayed for 4 nights, it was great being right by the ocean. My family and our friends really enjoyed it. The owner was great in communicating and resolving a minor issue.
3.0
Stayed 3 nights. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and traveling to town (20 min) for dinner. House is right on the beach - very little traffic on the beach and easy to walk out to. Some traffic on the road that can be heard from the bedrooms, but a sound app covered it up.
The couches in the living room were very comfortable. There are tvs in the downstairs bedroom and the family room. Not sure about the upstairs. Both tvs downstairs have bluray players.
What we liked best about the house were the big windows and the dining table by the windows. The automatic shades were nice. But the home could use some updating and a thorough cleaning.
The listing says three bathrooms but I didn't read it closely enough to see that the 3rd bathroom is an outdoor shower. There is a bedroom downstairs with a king bed and a bathroom and upstairs is a bedroom with 2 bunk beds and a bedroom with a queen bed, with a bathroom in between them.
There is a step down from the kitchen to the living room. It is marked but still easy to trip over - we put a couple chairs against it to remind us of it.
Owner was very easy to contact and replied to a request for more sheets quickly. Be aware that you may be required to sign an additional lease agreement and submit your ID after you have reserved.

We loved our short time here. Very clean. George was helpful on the check-in and check-out process and answered all of our questions. Right on the beach, had everything we needed, small grocery store across the street, great place for our family of 7.

George was very quick with responding to our questions and was very helpful. His home is equipped with all the accommodations you need, it’s close to convenient stores, bait stands, and anything you’ll need. The view is absolutely beautiful to top it off! If you want the all in one Galveston beach experience this is the place to stay!

Greatly enjoyed our stay. Mr. Kane was great although we rarely needed him as the place was in great shape and everything was as stated. Can't beat the view and closeness to the beach - can't get any closer! Beach was quiet and very few people even for spring break. House was perfect for us - kitchen served us well - best pots and pans we have ever had in any VRBO! Easy access to everything - enjoyed one night in town at Fish Tales and the Pleasure Pier but stayed at the house the rest of the time - it was so lovely. We will be back!

This house was most definitely a beach paradise. Well equiped kitchen! The views are amazing! We visted February 1 - 8, 2023 and the beach was almost private. The house is pet friendly and our dogs loved the beach and the deck. There is an outdoor shower and a hose that worked great for getting sand off human and doggy feet. The charcoal grill was very convenient and we grilled burgers several days for lunch. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely beach home.

Although the weather for our trip was forecasted as rain the entire time, we lucked out and had at least some sun every day except the rainy morning we left. The house was perfect for watching the beach and weather, as well as comfortable for relaxing and watching tv. Great beach location, away from city traffic.
5.0
Wow, this house and the owner were all I could have asked for for this short, solo retreat. The house was very clean. The location is 30 seconds from the beach and 15ish minutes from Galveston proper. The view of sunrise was unobscured and I enjoyed the glints of sunsets. I felt safe in the house and on the beach. You’ll need to bring all your own kitchen consumables - salt, sugar, foil, storage containers. You’ll need to bring toilet paper. These items are not provided (the owner provides a comprehensive packing list so there’s no surprise), or left from previous guests. I would like to see a handrail added at the top of the exterior stairs but that’s it, my only complaint. This house is ideal for my wants and needs. I’ll be back.

Very nice house. A little worn in some areas, but that is to be expected with salt air. Owner was easy to work with and gave very good instructions. We couldn't have asked for a better location & access to the beach. You can be inside in the living room & watch your kids play on the beach!
