Our trip had several older adults, with the youngest of our group turning 61 this year. We got our exercise in with all the stairs, shopping and restaurants during the morning, then relaxed the rest of the day on the porch that faced the beach. The only problem we ran into was there not being any hand rails for the stairs. Made getting up the stairs on the inside of the house difficult. So we used the outside stairs as long as it wasn't raining. They were slick when it rained. Overall, we had a great time while we were in Galveston.

Location was amazing! House needs updates, no working smoke alarms, some dishes were dirty upon arrival. One of the deck planks on the upper deck is loose so watch your steps. The blinds in the two bedrooms are missing pieces, The washer works but have fun, it says unbalanced every load you do so you’ll be stuck doing laundry longer than you want. The beach view from the house is amazing though! There’s plenty of sand toys and boogie boards in the garage area. We had a great 4 day stay.

The house was just as pictured! I loved the easy access to the beach that was pretty private for the few houses around us. I only had two co

My family and I stayed at this beach house in June 2025. The location great and a very short walk to the beach. The The house was spacious and the view of the ocean from the two covered patios was amazing. However, the house is in overall desperate need of repairs, updating, and refreshing. We had to wash all the bath towels before we felt comforting using them, because they were dingy and looked like they had been quickly washed. Several of the wash clothes were old and had holes in them, and the towels were worn, and very scratchy. We also had to wash many of the dishes, and pots and pans, because they many had food stains on them or were dusty. Also, there was not enough cookware for everyday cooking needs. We had to hang a bath towel over the window in the master bath, because the window did not have blinds, or was tinted or beveled, and it faced the neighbors house. This gave them the ability to look into the bathroom easily when the lights were on at night. This was a serious privacy issue to my wife and I. Further, there was no TV in the guest bedrooms, and the TV remote in the master bedroom was broken, and the old TV came on when it was plugged in. So, we had to unplug it to turn it off. There are many more things I could point out that need to be repaired, replaced, or updated, both inside and outside of the house, but I think you get the picture. Although the location of this beach house is great (earning the 3 rating), I would not rent it again or recommend it, if no repairs, changes, or updating are done.
