Fun Spot for Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best time at this place! Loved the fact that it sits on a large beautifully maintained lot with no neighbors on either side. Our balcony views were spectacular for sunrises and sunsets along with excellent views for watching the action on the beach. Excellent location to the Big Store and local eateries. We had 6 adults and 2 kids and dogs. The house was accommodating for all our needs. Can’t wait to rebook for next summer. What an awesome week full of fun memories!!

Great Beach House

Great house and so close to the beach. It rained everyday and having the house so close to the beach was super convenient and it allowed us to still enjoy the beach from the beautiful balconies. The elevator for our luggage was so nice as there is a lot of stairs. Property owner was very accommodating and nice. We will definitely stay here again

Awesome & True to the Listing

Simple wonderful. This property provided our family with one of our best vacations ever. The location is relatively private and insanely close to the beach. Morning and evening views from the balcony were pristine. Owner was very responsive and kind. The house itself was fun, clean and had plenty of room for our family of five. Very enjoyable and true to what the owner has listed.

Perfect ocean view

Check in, location,view,cleanliness. All of those things were perfect. The only thing that was wrong was it showed a smoker in the picture but when we got there it was in the trash rusted. That’s not going to keep me from staying here again. I loved this house. Thank you for letting us stay here.

Fantastic location

When the listing says steps from the beach, it is not kidding! The backyard is the beach and ocean. The location is unmatched, can't say enough. The house is very modern and well-decorated. All supplies for cooking meals in the kitchen. Multiple bedrooms and floors for groups to spread out and still be in the house together. We will definitely be back next year for our event in Galveston again, highly recommend it!

Excellent Location,very well maintained and clean!

Cabinets very well stocked, coffee, marinades and every utensils, pots and pans you need. Ac worked great, plumbing and showers worked perfect and the view of ocean, sound of waves just awesome. We did not want to leave. Their are a lot of beach houses everywhere but I highly recommend this one, very clean when we arrived and the cargo lift a major plus, send all your things up on the lift instead of having to walk it up by stairs!

Perfect vacation location

So close to the beach which is so convenient with kids. Easy to run back if you forgot anything and able to leave up tents to come back in the afternoon and you can see all your belongings from the house. The lift for the heavy luggage was another feature we loved. 3 levels of stairs can be hard with little kids but if they are walking age it’s totally doable. We arrived several days after the hurricane and the owner was very attentive to all our needs/questions with the uncertainty relating to the hurricane. We had all the amenities we needed to stay 4 days comfortably.

A Slice of Heaven

This rental had everything I wanted in beach house. Ocean front property only steps away from the sand on the beach; a lovely porch to watch the sun rise and set; and hearing the crashing waves was a must. The location of the property was not close to other properties on either side, which was really nice, The home was nicely decorated; stocked kitchen ; spacious and comfortable bedrooms; and a Lift for our luggage and groceries. The lift was a real plus for us! Great communication with the owner. I highly recommend this rental if you are seeking a quiet location to relax and unwind. I am planning to return.
