Great Spring Break 2025

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time on the deck with great views of the beach and ocean. We walked right out to the beach from the house. Although the instructions said to bring our own shampoo, soap, hand soap, trash bags, toilet paper etc, the house already had all of these items in ample supply. Although the pictures in the listing had furniture that was not current it was not a negative result as the current state was better than the pictures. We would book this place again.

Thanksgiving stay

Our family went to the beach for the Thanksgiving holiday. The location was wonderful. Paul is well prepared for guests and communicated with us proactively and was very responsive to questions. The home was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had almost everything we needed and had nice appliances. The deck overlooking the beach is excellent. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back soon.

Great location, nice house

We had a great stay. The location is amazing, right on the sand. Great deck and nice ground level outdoor area. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of space for our party of 4. Host was very responsive. Our only complaint is that the linens need an upgrade. The sheets and towels have seen better days.

Very nice property and great location right on the beach.

The property owner was super accommodating. My husband has mobility issues and needed an additional handrail to help him get up the steps and the property owner hired it done the same day we got there. The deck furniture was a bonus. Very nice big, tall and sturdy chairs that enabled us to see over the deck railing. It was perfect for us. It was an 11 minute drive into town but well worth it. Our best experience so far.

Relaxing & Rejuvenating Seaside Getaway!

We had a fantastic stay at this beachfront home! The breathtaking ocean views, comfortable accommodations, and the soothing sound of waves made it a truly memorable experience. The host was incredibly hospitable, and the property's proximity to the beach made it a perfect retreat. The loft does not have exceptionally tall ceilings, but our teenager did not mind a retreat that was all his own and there were lots of amazing caution signs! The pizza pans and air bake oven capabilities help you make amazing pizza! A plethora of coffee cups and an option for a Keurig, or a brewed coffee pot started our day off right every day! Also I am not sure where the deck furniture came from but the high chairs help you avoid the railing and are exceptionally and surprisingly comfortable… to top it off there are thick cushions for every chair. I highly recommend this home for a relaxing and rejuvenating seaside getaway.

It’s a fairly small, but well laid out and well maintained first row house. Porches are great and directly overlook the beach about 25 yards away. Plenty of good deck seating. It’s just a 10 minute walk to Galveston State Park.

Palm Beach on the Beach

Everything was clean, good pots and pans we cooked allot. We walked, enjoyed the sunset and sunrise walk to beach perfect. The upstairs twin beds were a bit hard to get to - the ceiling is low and people can not be too tall or over weight it is meant for children or adults not over weight or over 5'7''. Good mattresses!

Amazing Views

The views and easy beach access are the best parts of this property. We visited the beach multiple times a day and were able to take breaks during the hottest parts of the day by walking back to the house. Communication with the host was excellent. He was so kind and was available to answer any questions we had and even sent over a maintenance worker to repair a clogged sink during our stay. The accommodations are ok. The house was mostly clean upon our arrival, except for sand on the floors. It's a beach house, so I understand that it's challenging to keep the floors clean. I just didn't enjoy having sand on my feet for our whole stay. The other issue was bugs. Again, I understand that it's a beach house, and it's hard to keep all the insects out, but having ants crawling all over our laundry was kind of gross. We later found ants in our car as we were driving home. I also saw tiny spiders on the kitchen counters while I was cooking, despite trying to keep a tidy kitchen during our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation and stay, but I would probably not stay at this house again.

Can’t beat staying right on the beach. Really makes the trip so much easier and enjoyable when you can set up for the day right in front of the house. Property was very clean and communication with Paul was easy and prompt. We would certainly come back again.

Loved it!

Paul’s house was exactly as described. It suited us and our friends perfectly. It was clean, well appointed, and comfortable. It had a great and I mean great!, deck and view. We loved the big wooden chairs with cushions and spent a great part of our time sitting with a drink or 2 😉 just gazing at the ocean and the few people and dogs that passed our way. Our little, old dogs liked it too. Of course we made the easy trip to Galveston a few times for some yummy seafood and shopping and we discovered ‘our kind of place’ at Venado’s/ Uncle Buck’s Cantina/Bar, just 2 quick miles west, in Jamaica Beach. There we made friends with locals and had a high old time with them, watching the Astros beat the Yankees, twice!! All while consuming yummy food and margaritas! Didn’t want to leave and we will be back!
