We rent several houses a year to get away and this was definitely in the top. Communication with the owner was above and beyond and the house was amazing! It was well stocked and very clean. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back!

We stay in galveston very often and find most properties to provide the bear minimum, but not the Turtle Retreat! It was amazing. All the small totes we pack along like seasonings and kcups they had it. The price is worth the stay. Will be back probably everytime we come

Talk about convience! This house has everything you need to relax, have family time and tons of fishing, including a bait shop just down the road. The beds were so comfortable after a long day and night of fishing. The host who has was amazing and very quick responses.This house is generously stocked, all you need to bring is food, drnks, and clothes! We had a blast!

My family just enjoyed an excellent stay at this beautiful house in Jamaica Beach. The owner was very communicative, very helpful, and has a beautiful home. There was plenty of space for my 3 kids to play and lots of great features including a fully fenced upstairs deck with a gate to the stairs. Short trip to the beach, fishing available right downstairs, and a quiet neighborhood. Really enjoyed it, and will definitely be back!

This was one of the cleanest VRBO I have ever visited. This home felt like home and truly had everything you need inside and outside . All I needed was my clothes and toiletries. The owner responded very quickly to questions . I’m definitely renting this property again! My kids were even impressed. Thanks for the great experience!

Dad's getting a little too old (83 yo)to go bay fishing in a boat, so this was the next best thing for him. Lots of fish over the underground Greenlight, we just couldn't get them to bite. Other than that we had a great time with Pop, Watching him do one of the things he loved made this trip so worth it! The bay was perfect and clean, and the bed was very comfy. I can't say enough good things about the host, but I will say she was nothing short of wonderful! We'll be back soon!
