A few days at the beach

Before my husband and I get busy with work for the summer we decided to get away for a few days. We loved the accommodations here at the Blue Whale. Close enough to town for anything we needed yet far enough away. The house upon arrival was very clean, linens were clean and set up very nice. One word to sum it up is perfect! Thanks for sharing your home with us!Hope to be back soon!

The property owner was so kind and the quaint but spacious cabin was clean and well stocked! We didn't want to leave but unfortunately, vacations can't last forever. Luckily, the memories we made there will!

Fun stay in Galveston, not too far away from Jamaica Beach. However it is about a 20 to 30 minute drive into town But worth the stay if you’re willing to drive

great for my family!

My family and I came down for the week and stayed here, it’s pretty close to everything and really quiet neighborhood. I loved the porch and swing and the bedrooms were nice. Only thing you should look out for is when it storms, sometimes the door leaks, but other than that it wasn’t a huge issue and I loved everything else about it.

Great house

The house was perfect for our family and friend. The privacy of the downstairs suite was perfect along with the shared family space upstairs. There was a beach access close by, and lots of beach toys to borrow. The outdoor showers were especially convenient after a long day at the beach and we were very happy to see that they even had hot water. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home with an amazing location. It is way away from the amenities of the osland but thats what we loved about it. Neighborhood was quiet and just minutes to the beach.

Perfect Little Get Away

My family and I decided to take a small vacation for spring break and this house is more than worth the money. We had everything that we needed at our finger tips and we were within driving distance for any other needs. I would definitely reserve this property again for my family of 7 and our fur baby.

Amazing vacation and location!

The property was great. It was clean, in a great location, and just as described. My family loved the home. We had a view of the bay and a small walk to the beach. We enjoyed breakfast together and spent the day out and about and enjoyed family game night each night. We felt welcomed and comfortable. I will recommend to my family and friends and would love to stay at this home in the future. The owner was available and so nice. You cannot go wrong with this listing.
