“This was my 2nd time staying here. Everything was perfect. We had a very comfortable stay.”

“Loved our stay! Such a cozy spot — clean, comfy, and perfect for a family getaway. The views were beautiful and the vibe was super chill. The host is super friendly. Can’t wait to come back!”

“This place is well recommended it’s so peaceful and the house is gorgeous! I recommend this to people who want to have a mini vacation with family or friends!”

“Jessica responded promptly and kindly. I rent about twice a year in the Galveston area and this was my favorite place so far, I will definitely rent this home again.”

“The house was awesome. Bathroom for each bedroom was great. Beautiful view of the bay. All my questions were answered right away. Would have loved more towels, washcloths, and hand towels. But there is a washer and dryer so we did fine. Was clean and decorated nice. We just loved our time here. Thank you.”

“This house is huge and beautiful. We are a group of six women birders, and the bayside location next to Sportsman Road was ideal. The views of the water and the birds were unobstructed and the sunsets were spectacular. The house was clean, well-stocked and very comfortable. The air conditioning worked well on both floors, which made for pleasant sleeping. Everyone commented that their mattresses were comfy, although the comforters, sheets and towels could use an upgrade. We had a little trouble getting the keys out of the lockbox when we first arrived, but no other issues that required any calls to the host. We appreciated that the light switches were labelled so that we didn’t have to maneuver down dark staircases. Speaking of stairs, guests need to be fit to get into the house and to go up and down all the staircases. This house might not be a good fit for anyone who is mobility-impaired. Otherwise, I highly recommend this lovely home to anyone visiting Galveston.”

“Beautiful house and nice view. Sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. Great location. Not too far from restaurants and stores. Neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. Had a great time and would definitely come back!”

“If you're looking for a place with a beautiful view, yet not right smack in the middle of chaos this is the ideal location. You're close enough to everything, yet far away enough to feel like you're in your own private oasis. We had 12 people in our party ranging from 5-71 years old. The house was perfect for everyone. There was enough space for the kids to play and enough room in the house for everyone to unwind. The kitchen has just about anything you could possibly need to cook or bake. There are plenty of towels, no beach towels though so bring some of those with you. Each twin bed has two pillows and the others have four. There is a built in camping style grill, it works great we were able to grill 11 hamburgers on it at one time. All of the twin beds in the bunk room have their own USB charging outlets and lights. The view from the back deck at sunset is beautiful. My teenage daughter asked me to add that this is a great location for kids, and it's set up perfectly. ”

“Quick access to the beach loved that I do a shower, nice and clean no problems. ”

“Quick access to the beach loved that I do a shower, nice and clean no problems. ”

“The place and the views were beautiful. The amenities, the kitchen pots utensils and everything available was beyond what many other places have. The layout was great. Plenty of room to be private and or social. Loved this place.”

“Jessica was very friendly and my family really enjoyed our stay.”

“Absolutely loved this house. Recommendation automatic lock as opposed to key. The key is hard to turn. Need spare or equal towels to sleeping spaces when maximizing guest counts like we did but we brought extra towels. Loves this place and location!!! Highly recommend”

“We loved our stay here. Everything was just like the pictures and the views could not be beat”

“Great stay and perfect home for our stay.Thank you!”

“A huge thank you Jessica, for hosting my family and I at your serene Bay front property our 3 night stay was an absolute delight. Your home truly felt like a home away from home. it was warm inviting, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The views was stunning and peaceful calming and the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and fun escape. The house itself was spacious spotless and beautifully designed, the 5 bedrooms in 5.5 bathrooms gave our group plenty of space and privacy, every detail was thoughtfully considered, and everything was extremely nice and well-maintained. We couldn't have asked for a better stay! I highly recommend this 5 plus star GEM!!! WILL definitely return!”

“Great place for extended stay.”

“Jessica, you own a beautiful home. Very peaceful and serene. I didn't realize the home was located within a gated community. It was definitely icing on the cake. Me and all the ladies had a blast. I'm founder of a women's group and we gather in Galveston every Mothers Day! Thank you for a magnificent weekend filled with memories! Warm regards,”

“So the house was even more beautiful then the pictures showed. The surroundings were so peaceful and perfect for relaxation. the private access to the bay was perfect too, because we had some storms come in and the beach was restricted due to the weather, but the entire time the bay was calm and cool. The space was perfect for this family of five and we had my parents and grandma come and stay the last night, without anyone feeling cramped. We had access to the internet and our streaming apps, which helped one morning when a crazy storm blew through. It's centrally located and it was only about a 10 minute drive to restaurants and other activities. What was really nice, since we had storms, they had an extra covered staircase leading into the living room and kitchen, so after we bought groceries one night, and it was pouring, we never got wet, getting everyone and everything into the house. This stay was first class in our opinion, and will surely stay again very soon.”

“Been to the area many times, first stay on the Bay side. 1000% recommend! We loved the peaceful neighborhood & beautiful views. Plenty of room for parking & all of our guests. Private bathrooms in every guest room! The daytime view & natural light in the main area was amazing. Easy access to all area attractions with a short drive. Really enjoyed being out of the congestion & hustle & bustle when we were ready to go “home”!”

“Perfect location and beautiful home!”

“Love love loved this house!”

“5 Stars – The Perfect Bayfront Getaway! Our new favorite Airbnb! This bayfront Airbnb on Galveston Bay exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking panoramic views and sunrises over the water. The home was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. There were only three of us, but definitely plan to come back soon with a larger group as there is tons of room inside, on the multiple decks, and surrounding property. Great place for activity - walking, bike riding, and fishing. Caught flounder and redfish on the water directly off the porch during the day and tons of catfish after dark. Tucked away in a private, gated community, the property offered total peace and quiet while still being just a short drive from the best of Galveston’s restaurants and attractions. Host was very friendly and proactive with information. Property was so great we didn’t have any problems but feel they would have addressed any issues quickly.”

“Wow! This place exceeded my expectations! A great place to house multiple families! Every room had their own bathroom! A tucked away gem! Beautiful home with a lot of space. My only complaint would be that they only provided one pack and play and with a home that big you are bound to need more with multiple families. I reached out hoping that they would be willing to invest in another one but they didn’t. So we had to bring several even though we only needed them for one night as we were going on a cruise the remaining week. ”

“Roller dial Knox box has to be exact with the location of all the numbers or it will not work. I use the push button with the black pull down tab, Knox boxes on all my doors. Just easier to operate. Really nice house with lots of beds. Bathrooms were great. Plenty of space for all 14 of us. Super clean as well. Parking was great and it’s easy to locate the house.”

“All of it! The home, the space, the beautiful setting, great location. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! The home had everything we needed and more! Loved how each bedroom had its own private bathroom. ”

“The place was beautiful. We had one minor issue with the washer and Jessica was very responsive; she had someone come out and fix it asap.”

“Our group of four families stayed for a dance competition on the island. The home was immaculate. Everyone had their own bathrooms, plenty of beds for everyone and lots of space to spread out. The neighborhood is quiet and while it feels far from everything, was never really more than 10-15 mins from where we needed to be. We liked being away from the craziness of seawall and crowds. Plenty of parking and room for “stuff”. Would definitely stay again! ”

“This home is beautiful! Very comfy and very clean. We had 10 of us there and we were able to spread out and be comfortable. The views are spectacular and it was very quiet. Jessica was a wonderful host! She was friendly, quick to respond and shared great information. We will definitely be back!!”

“Great place to stay with a great host!”

“The house was very clean and in a great location. I would stay here again.”

“It is always enjoyable. This is the second time our staff has used the house for a retreat. It is a beautiful setting, but as I mentioned, it is just a little far from restaurants, forcing a group to DoorDash. The house is very functional, nicely appointed, and always very clean. The view is spectacular and provides moments of relaxation for the most stressed participants of the group. Jessica was a wonderful help in planning the retreat and stayed on top of any matter. She always provided information in a timely manner from the moment the reservation was made to the moment I notified her we had departed. I highly recommend the place and Jessica as the host. Thank you.”

“Jessica, my travelling companions and i were speechless when we entered the home. It was clean, well appointed, and we felt safe. While we were only there one night, we all agreed that we would all like to return for a longer stay. It's a little far out but Uber and Lyft are accessible and reasonable. Thanks for a beautiful overnighter.”

“We enjoyed our one day stay before our cruise. The home is absolutely beautiful! It’s huge all five bedrooms had a bathroom. We would definitely stay again. Russell’s the host communication was great.”

“The house was perfect for all 16 of us. Jessica always responded right away to our questions. The place was very peaceful and beautiful.”

“Great place to stay with family. Plentiful space and beautiful views! We will be back!”

“Egrets nest was the perfect home for our family to stay while on vacation. The house was very clean. Each room had its own bathroom which was very nice with more than one family staying. There are not many homes in the community that are occupied therefore it was very quiet. The view was beautiful and we actually saw dolphins one morning. There is also a pubic beach less than 5 minutes away I would highly recommended this property ”

“This was an incredible stay for us. This property has such great views of the water and since a lot of the properties haven't been built yet, it felt very private, restful, and peaceful. This is a gated community so it felt safer. The house itself is so spacious and has 5 bedrooms and all of them had attached bathrooms and toilets plus a guest toilet. They did a fantastic job of making the place look real great. The kitchen and living space was great. The kitchen had cookware, utensils, silverware, etc - everything you'd need. Plenty of space in the pantry and fridge for anything you bring. The best place in the mornings and the evenings was the patio that had the great view - there are actually two patios on the 2nd and 3rd floors but we hung out a lot on the 2nd floor patio. Plenty of parking space on the 1st floor. The host was very responsive and had great overall communication. Thank you! We'd absolutely get this space again!”

“Great space and location!”

“My family stayed here for one night prior to boarding a cruise ship. It was a great house; clean, beautiful location, and quiet. It was also close to town. Would 100% recommend!”

“Our stay was absolutely amazing!!! The property was beautiful inside and out. It was so clean and pleasing, made you feel right at home. The price was astonishing for how big and spacious the home is, and right off a lake to, breathtaking. Communication between the property owner was the absolute best. It truly was a wonderful experience and one that I highly recommend. We will definitely come back and have already save it as a favorite.”

“Great place, and super good communication. Very quiet, great views.”

“Perfect setting and condition Will stay here again ”

“Jessica, we had a wonderful weekend in your cozy home! The house was even better than in the photos – clean, spacious, and with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the comfortable beds and the stunning view from the windows. The location is excellent, with everything we needed nearby and beautiful spots for walking. You were very friendly and always ready to help. Thank you for the warm welcome; we’d be happy to return!”

“Very clean, and great location. Easy access to peaceful strolls on waterfront. ”

“This is the second time we've stayed at this location because it's quiet, super clean, furnished nicely and priced right!”

“Exactly as described, beautiful house, wonderful furnishings, and an amazing atmosphere!”

“The home is lovely. Perfect for our annual family mini-vacation. Weather was not cooperating but we did manage to get a few days of fishing/crabbing. Russell was very responsive to minor issues when contacted. Views are spectacular. Lots of space to enjoy the property! ”

“Beautiful view spacious home needs few other things done to be perfect but overall was great staying there”

“Absolutely beautiful! We booked a last minute weekend getaway and couldn’t have found a better place. Plenty of beds/ space. The views were amazing. Host is very responsive. We had zero issues!”

“We had a fantastic stay at Jessica's place with 13 family members. The house was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. The view from the house was absolutely stunning, making our trip even more special. Jessica was a wonderful host. The house was clean, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend staying at Jessica's place!”
