Family weekend
We meet as a family every October to celebrate birthdays and to honor my dad’s memory. We had the best weather this past weekend. Our overall stay was good. The close access to the beach was the best part. The sunset and sunrise every morning and evening are simply beautiful! One of the AC units went out on our 2nd day and although the maintenance person arrived within the hour, it was not repairable. Unfortunately, it was quite uncomfortable in the living area and kitchen the rest of the day and the next morning during breakfast. It’s a beautiful home in a quiet area.

A Perfect Week
Kids (4, ages 12 to 17) were rarely out of the ocean - boogie boarding on boards found at the house; father and son fishing was outstanding - baby hammerhead sharks the most exciting catch though returned to the water; we all enjoyed the evening return of the pelicans each night and watching them dive; sea shelling on the beach netted many hermit crabs (also returned to their watery home; a short walk at the wildlife sanctuary was a bird photo shoot as well as another opportunity for fishing; a visit to the NASA Space Center in Houston was a short drive for an interesting tour; and a final night at the amusement pier topped off the week. We enjoyed many home cooked meals on the grill as well a couple of dinners out. Truly a perfect family week!

Absolutely fantastic!
This house was amazing- everything about it! I can’t say enough & not having to do anything with the linens when we left was a huge bonus- plus they were top notch. So happy with this choice.

Awesome Experience!
The layout of the house is fantastic and so fun. Location is excellent and the house had everything we needed and more! The only bummer for us was the upstairs area the kids all stayed in was really warm and it was in the 60s outside. There wasn’t great airflow despite having a few fans available. We’d still stay again- it was perfect!

Perfect Beach Getaway!
We had a wonderful long weekend with family and friends! The house is located very close to the beach and the hot tub was nice after a long day at the water. The home comfortably fit 5 adults and 6 kiddos. We would definitely stay here again!

Our 28th consecutive summer on the west end! The house was was very conducive for visiting and catching up. Only a short walk to the beach. Despite the high mainland temperatures, on the beach we were very comfortable with a great breeze.

Family Friendly - Right on the Beach
We had a great stay! 3 families with young children on our annual friends trip. The kids room upstairs was perfect. There's a gate attached to the top of the stairs in case you are worried about little ones! The beds and linens were very nice and comfortable. The beach is literally steps away so we didn't have to lug our beach toys very far. The house was beautiful and clean. The beach was not crowded, but not completely empty either. Definitely would recommend this house to other families wanting a relaxing and fun beach experience. Loved it! Only advice for future guests... bring your own beach towels! :-)

Sun Sand Spectacular
This home is just amazing! We had 8 adults and 3 grandchildren from ages 10 to 3 and this gorgeous home has everything! Tons of beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs and board games. The kitchen is equipped with all the small appliances we needed. Not to mention a 2nd refrigerator that made it so easy to load the ice chest each morning before going to the beach! From the design and decor to the wonderful gift basket that has everything you need to get started (trash bag, dish pods, laundry pods) this home is amazing. Oh, and the location!!! Steps from the beach, minutes from liquor and convenience store. Our group will be staying here next year! Big thank you to the property manger Tamera. Your attention to detail is outstanding!

Perfect beach house
This house was the perfect place for three generations of our family to make memories. It is basically on the beach with wonderful views from the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. We spent every evening on the deck or in the hot tub listening to the ocean. Everything we needed for the beach was provided…chairs toys, ice chest, ect. The whole stay was easy and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED our stay here! This beautifully decorated beach house had everything we needed plus more! We met family here in Galveston and there was plenty of room for all 10 of us! We made so many memories and appreciate the owners allowing us to stay in their home. If you are thinking about booking……DO IT!!

Memorial Day family Vacay
Our family of 8 plus my 6 month old granddaughter enjoyed the holiday weekend at this amazing house! We were able to walk right onto a semiprivate beach (limited public access). The house was equipped with much more than was originally advertised. It had pretty much everything we needed… including board games, cell phone chargers, beach chairs and a wagon/cooler to take to the beach! The view from the deck & hot tub was amazing and we spent much of our time just sitting out on the deck watching the waves. We barbecued for dinner one night (again, had everything we needed). Location was nice too (15 minute drive from all the loud tourist areas) but very easy to get to anything you want to see! I’ve already recommended the property to several friends! Loved our trip & the house! Thanks for the memories!

What a wonderful location to have hosted our girls' weekend. For 10 women all in their 30s, there was more than enough accommodations to ensure all of our comfort. Enough cannot be said about the location. It really was a slice of paradise!
