Perfect family stay!

This house was beautifully styled and had top of the line appliances. The outdoor area was fabulous with lots of seating, a tv, and heated pool. It was a very relaxing vibe. I would love to stay here again! We had everything we needed and the location was great.

Perfect Island Getaway

My coworkers and I used this property for a few days and it was perfect! Clean, plenty of amenities and you can beat the location - only a few blocks from the Seawall! Andy the host was fantastic and was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this for anyone traveling into town and looking for a great option with proximity to the beach and just a short drive to the Strand.

AMAZING!!!!

Amazing doesn't begin to describe our entire experience with our Host Andy C and the rental property. Everything was over the top fabulous.....and don't even get me started on the pool and outside entertainment area! I'm surprised we ever left the rental to go explore Galveston Island. This rental does not disappoint and is exactly as shown in the pictures and more so! Again, it was exceptional!!!

WOW!!!

We booked a weekend birthday get away with family and Gulf Haven was such a treat for everyone! The pictures do not accurately show how beautiful this home truly is. The attention to detail felt like a 5 star resort! Andy was so quick to respond and even had a birthday cake delivered to the house. To list every amenity this house has would be impossible!! Our favorite things besides the pooI, were the Viking appliance, pottery barn linens, outdoor living area, and the beach wagon full of everything for the beach. I hate to share how amazing this house is but gate keeping this adorable gem would be a crime.

50th BD Celebration

The house is beautifully done, inside and out. Living room and kitchen are amazing, Viking appliances and comfortable seating for everyone. We only used the rear bedroom with attached bath. The matress is heaven!! The backyard is why i choose this house. Its an outdoor living room with a roof and the pool! Large sectional couch with a firepit and TV. Also, seating, bar, fridge and sink plus a full bath. My motorcycle fit through the front doors and you can lock them OR leave them open so Doordash can deliver pizza to you in the pool. I was celebrating my 50th and my wife and I loved this house. The weather turned cold on us on the 3rd night and i swam until the air temp was below 45. When it rained you can still enjoy being outside. Will come back next year for Lone Star Rally.

Best Rental

I stay in rental houses about a dozen times per year and this is my favorite I’ve ever stayed in. The beds, linens, towels were all so nice. They have thought of everything you could want. I will stay here again.

Short Great Stay!

The property was beautiful and in perfect condition. We stayed one night to leave from the cruise port the next day for my wedding. Andy was a great host and responded back promptly to answer any questions. With the anxiety and excitement over the wedding we didn’t realize check out was at 10. We reached out to Andy and he was understanding and appreciated the communication. I wish we would have planned a longer stay to really enjoy such a beautiful place.
