Enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and quietness of the subdivision.
We had the best weekend! Beachside Village is an amazing subdivision with beautiful homes and super easy beach access. The property itself is perfect for family and friends. Property was clean on arrival and equipped/outfitted with everything we needed and more!Just a wonderful time and experience...thanks!
The house was perfect for a family beach stay with a dog. Everyone loved it and we will absolutely stay again. Owner was fantastic as was her property manager. Really a phenomenal place and stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend this amazing place.
This home fit our needs perfectly - a place for all the adults and kids. Everything needed for the beach, boogie boards, cruiser bikes, chairs, etc were provided. Internet worked well too.
We enjoyed our stay at the bluebonnet beach house! The listing manager was very helpful answering questions and ensuring we received updates on the house after the recent hurricane.
The house was beautiful, and the furnishings were clean and comfortable. We definitely recommend staying here!
This was our second year to have the opportunity to stay in this beautiful rental and enjoy all it has to offer. The owner is top notch as well as the property. Perfect fit for our family. If we are able to make it back to Galveston, this will definitely be our go to place!
Wonderful home with great location. House was very clean and had everything you would require to stay home and cook in. Also a charcoal grill outside. Short drive to main attractions in Galveston. Private beach was amazing very clean and a very short stroll. Would recommend. Already planning on going back.
This is the best furnished VRBO we have ever stayed at. Boogie boards, beach towels, kitchen, TP, just everything that you need for a great time only a short distance to the beach. Loads of room, great for our small dogs, just about perfect. THANK YOU!!!
We had a wonderful family vacation! House was great ! It worked well for our family. Short walk to beach. The beach was quiet and not crowded. As far as the house it had all the amenities you need, nicely decorated, great outdoor spaces, very comfortable. Many baby items too :) We definitely would stay here again Thank you for the great memories made!!
Everything was clean. Home was close to stores and beautiful scenery. The ONLY negative was the loud sound the compressor made when the air conditioner came on. We would stay in this same area again!
This is are 2 time staying at this house and we just love cozy relaxing atmosphere this home has. It’s just a few steps to the beach with all the amenities you could ask for chairs a wagon sand toys and much more. The hosts are super nice and ez to contact. We had a problem will we were there and the had someone within a hour to fix it!! Would definitely come a 3rd time 😉
This house was amazing and perfect for our large group. It had all the comforts of home and more, was very clean and beautifully decorated. The owner was very proactive in communicating with us about any questions we had, even before we booked. The beach was only a short walk away, and the downstairs outdoor patio with outdoor shower (with hot water!) was perfect for grilling and gathering. There’s an additional set of stairs indoors that was wonderful for keeping out the bugs and the sand from the other floors. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning!
Great rental with plenty of amenities! So many “extras” here, from games for the grandkids to the welcome bottle of wine for the adults! Owner responded very quickly to a concern we had regarding a baby gate at the stairwell, then resolved it just as quickly! Very much appreciated! Highly recommend this property for your next family vacation!
We had a wonderful time! House was fully stocked with everything imaginable from kitchen spices to toiletries ( ex make up wipes and extra toothbrushes), and beach gear/beach toys. The Host has thought of every detail. Communication with the host was also easy and fast. Would stay again! Thanks again for the wonderful memories!
This property is a perfect location! Not too far from the heart of Galveston but just enough to enjoy the ride and the ocean view. We did have some concerns where our bike trailer could be stored (with other homes allowing them) but we went ahead and parked on Sea Butterfly with plenty of room and within eyesight of the home. This home has such a great vibe and everyone enjoyed the weekend here!
We have stayed at many rental properties in Galveston. This is by far the best. The best in every category… Proximity, cleanliness, host friendliness, and accessibility, and a beautiful property. It just could not have gone more smoothly. There were six of us and plenty of space. Plenty of activities provided by the home and more supplies and we could’ve ever used. I just can’t say enough good about it. We will absolutely be back. We also had dogs on our trip. The property was extremely conducive to traveling with dogs. The fenced in yard was a complete blessing. I would go so far as to say our accommodations made the trip a huge success.
We had 7 in our group plus pups for 6 days. The Host HAS done an EXCELLENT job stocking this house with all you will need - an abundance of beach items, kitchen has more dishware and cookware than needed; and every other often needed item (irons, pack n plays, pillows, indoor games etc.) No "doggie" smell - none at all so a big THANK YOU for allowing pets and keeping the home so odor free! Down side - almost over-providing at the expense of the guest. On main level, neither of the two BRs had usable closet space at all (one was completely blocked by bunk beds and the other was FULL of baby items). None of the BRs had dressers and are on the small side so spending a week having to live out of the suitcases in the little available floor space was not the best. Not a big deal if just staying 1-2 nights but after a 5 nights it gets old. Compounding this, the home has been optimized to allow for 12-14 guests - squeezing Bunks and Trundles into little BRs, completely blocking the deck access in one (that is a NO-NO). With only 1 indoor living area, there really was nowhere to "escape" to. The pantry was so full of dishes and no proper shelving - nowhere to unload groceries. Shades are needed in upper windows to help A/C work. Lower patio is awesome but with 100F+ days it needed ceiling fans. Fridge not as pictured. This is a lovely family home, albeit aged, but is not caliber beach destination that we seek. All that said we had great time and appreciate the Host/home!
The house was so clean and beautiful. My family really enjoyed our stay. It was a short walk to the beach and the garage was well stocked with chairs and toys and just about anything you could want for the beach. Definitely recommend this place!
