We had our elderly parents and our kids and grandkids. The house was well supplied for all ages and was easy walking distance to a pedestrian only beach.
This was our first time in the San Luis beach area. Of Galveston.We just loved it! Nice to have your own private beach with easy access from the property. A very quiet and beautiful community. The house. Is beautifully appointed and had all the amenities we needed.Kristin, owner/host was very responded with our questions.
We enjoyed our stay. We wanted a few days to relax and refresh. This property was everything we expected. A quick walk to the beach and we were in our happy place. The house is clean and comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet. Thank you.
This property was exactly what we needed for our family vacation, particularly flying in for the visit. We have two kids under three, and it was SO nice to have a crib, bedrail, baby monitor, high chair, toys (beach and house), cups, plates, and even a potty training seat all available without having to pack it along. Proximity to the beach was perfect too, easy for the toddler to walk. Very quiet during our offseason visit. We would definitely rent again!
This property had exactly what we needed and even what we didn't know we needed! Perfect place to stay with family. Peaceful sceneries and was stocked with items that made our trip even more enjoyable!
This house made for a wonderful trip for our family of 5. The quick, walkable access to the beach was so much more relaxing than hopping in a car or having to cross a busy street. We loved breakfasts on the porch each morning.
Great location, easy thirty min drive from Galveston, quaint neighborhood close to beach, nuce community pool across the street, home has a lot of nice "extras", like home away from home.
WE loved staying in this beach house. Everything was well appointed, decor was nice, kitchen was wll outfitted and the primary mattress was extremely comfortable .No complaints!
This was our fourth year kicking off the summer in this wonderful residence. As always our stay was great. The home is perfectly situated and very clean. The number of rooms/beds is great for our 5 kiddos and there’s plenty of space for them to do their own thing indoors and out. We’re already looking forward to next year’s stay. Thank you to the owners / hosts for a great experience.
Our family of 4 loved this cozy home near the beach! One of the most family friendly places we have ever stayed. We don’t have babies, but there were SO many accessories available if you were traveling with an infant - Including a full size crib in the Master bedroom closet. Just perfect! We loved being such a short walk to the ocean and being able to see it from all the windows and balconies. The garage had umbrellas, a wagon and endless beach toys for kiddos. We can’t wait to come back!
What a treat! The location to the beach was perfect and the house itself was exactly what our family needed! The beach is as close to a private beach as you can get and most days we were the only ones at the pool! We loved that our area was quiet yet welcoming to a family with young children. Lots of fun things within a 30 minute drive to the east. The communication with the host was quick and easy! We enjoyed a great week in Galveston!
