“Great place to stay. This was our second visit and will always be my first choice when I need a rental on the island. Love the peace and quiet. It is really planned well for anyone needing an accessible place to stay.”

“Really nice place and very accessible if you have limited mobility. It was a quiet peaceful place already, but I loved the shutters/blinds. They kept the bedroom dark and muffled any outside sound. There is a lovely area out back with a pond (tank if you are from around here). I plan to stay again soon.”

“We chose StayBeachBox Vacations Airbnb for our trip to our daughter’s wedding in Galveston. Our host was amazing! She was very responsive to any questions we had. The place was comfortable and spotless. It was just what we needed and reasonably priced. I would recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway.”

“Great place, I will be keeping a record so we can come back again”

“We enjoyed staying here and will continue to stay at this house if it's possible. Very clean and private. We would sit outside every night and enjoy the peace and quiet. Beautiful surroundings. Perfect location.”

“The place was just as described and was close to everything. The owner of the home was very friendly and super accommodating. He took time to offer advice on fishing and restaurants. The response time from BeachBox was very quick, but different than being in contact with an actual owner. Often times, they had to reach out for answers or they sent "pre-written" responses that didn't quite answer my question. This was a nice place for our short stay. Again, really appreciated the owner's help and friendliness while we were there!”

“This was exactly what I needed. I plan on coming back often. Just beauty Beach Nature Acres Quiet Private My favorite”

“We absolutely loved our stay here. Everything was perfect. Thank you very much.”

“The place was spotless, comfortable, close to the beach, and exactly as described in the listing. I loved how many animals and wildlife are in the area. You can see a beautiful horse from the windows! The host was very quick to respond, proactive with check-in instructions, and gave us fantastic local restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!”

“Positive: We enjoyed the place was exactly as the pictures. Location was quite and easy access to seawall. Would book again.”

“Stayed here for a week, just me & my 2 dogs it was so peaceful and lovely. A horse grazed in a fenced field just feet from the front door it was a much needed reset week on the Island.”

“Perfect location being center of everything. Great place to stay for 2 people. Our dog loved the large yard! Communication was exceptional and fast responses! Would stay at this place again!”

“It was awesome,a really nice place!”

“Perfect place for 2 people.”

“Thanks for a wonderful stay for the holidays”

“great location and really close to the beach! a country feel with central lacation”

“We are very appreciative of such a clean and safe home with all the amenities listed and needed. Thanking you. Hopeful to be able to return soon. We enjoyed the peaceful community. The horse was a beautiful neeiighhhbor (lol).”

“Excellent place near the beach, it looks the same as the photos and the best thing for pets is the large yard that is in the place, we enjoyed it a lot and we will be back soon.”

“Excelente ubicación”

“Quaint and met our needs.”

“This stay was great! Everything was seamless and the host was very responsive! They also gave lots a good recommendations that my husband and I found really fun. Our only complaint was the bed was pretty hard and would squeak every time we moved. Other than that it was a great experience! It was located on a beautiful property with a horse right outside the front door!”

“It felt very comfy, really close to the beach! Amazing place to stay”

“We loved our stay! They are pet friendly and 6 minutes from our favorite beach! I love that everything was handicap accessible! We will definitely be back!”

“Nice and quite place, everything was as shown on the pictures, we had a very good time and would recommend it to friends and family, thanks for having us.”

“We really enjoyed our stay, perfect little space for our small family of three. Very clean, and close to the beach, restaurant’s and grocery stores! I do wish they had internet on the tv to stream shows, but it didn’t really matter because we spent most of the time at the beach. Great experience, really made our stay in Galveston wonderful! Highly recommend!”

“The host was very responsive and helped when there was a situation immediately. I will say however the Sofa Sleeper definitely only fits 1 adult or two small children and main bed could squeeze in me and my mom if needed. Other than that we absolutely loved this house and definitely look forward to renting here again.”

“Great place”

“Highly recommend staying here! The hosts are the nicest! And they know all the best spots in the area! I felt very safe there. I loved how close we were to the water, only a 15 min walk, but you could see it from every side of the house. Next time we are in Galveston we will definitely be back!”

“This is my third time staying in this home. It’s so peaceful and quiet.”

“This is a great place to stay. You are within minutes of the beach, the seawall, and good restaurants.”

“Great location and clean house! I would stay again!”

“We had a great two-night stay at this guest house in Galveston! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was easy, and the location was simple to find, which made our trip stress-free. It was the perfect spot for a quick getaway. Would definitely stay here again!”

“Over the stay was nice here compared to their other properties. The home owners lives close and can tell they check in and make sure it’s being cleaned and maintained. We met with them briefly and were enjoyable. Overall a nice place for a quick in town stay. Notice the home is handicap accessible so things are to be extremely short.”

“From a first time experience I’ve learned to ask a few detailed questions next time. I really enjoyed the peace & quit. Needed a mental escape. Beautiful horse just wish I had more time & maybe meet him. A couple things in the home that were not up to par but not a bad experience, I’m grateful for that.”

“The map provided took me to the wrong side of the island”

“First time visit....id come back Positive: Cottage was easy to find ,quiet neighborhood about 15 minute walk to beach access. I liked the raised toilet and was glad to have a kitchen. Husband liked bed better than i did. Own parking spot. I like Galveston. Plenty of things to do, places to eat and beaches to walk upon. Also we missplaced the house key and they were pretty calm about it. We did locate it after a few days. So Phew...We ate at Katies Seafood and the Cajun Greek. Which were both excellent places. Dawns donuts on stewart rd also better than the other places near by. Well cooked not greasy lots of flavor....Overall id come back ...town is busy on the weekends . Galveston has a lot to offer. Negative: I wish that one blanket had been provided. The bed had a sheet and a lovely thin quilt. Only had one towel and one wash cloth each for 7 night stay. Had only one dish towel ended up using extra wash cloth for dishes and had brought my own dish towel. Garbage disposal had rotten fishy smell so i ran lime zest orange zest and a few ice cubes...took me a few days to figure out location of smell. I found the stove a challenge but figured it out. The smoke alarm very sensitive and when you use the oven exhaust fan the air re circulates into the home. Since no soap was provided for dishwasher. We didnt try to use it. Also the metal shutters were over the windows and we were not sure if we were allowed to open them. I think a note with what the owners preferred would have been better approach. The owners seem to live in the attached house and seemed very nice, felt reluctant to ask for anything or inquire...so bad on me i guess. I did take the dishcloth to laundromat when i did a load of laundry. I usually have an extra blanket of sorts in my car. Note the ac/heat worked fine.”

“Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. There were cockroaches throughout the unit, including in the bedroom. When we arrived, there was also a very strong chemical smell, which made it seem like insect spray had just been used right before check-in. The listing was also misleading. I specifically searched for an “entire place,” and the photos showed what appeared to be a standalone home with a large yard and lake. In reality, the unit is part of a duplex/triplex, which is not clearly stated anywhere in the listing. Additionally, the kitchen was missing basic necessities such as a bottle opener, cutting board, dish drying rack, and scissors, which made it difficult to cook or use the space comfortably. Overall, the cleanliness issues and inaccurate listing description made this stay far below expectations.”

“The place is great but the first night it was cold, could not access thermostat, finally someone came out. There were no blankets for the sleeper couch only two sheets in bedding closet. The main bed had just one thin blanket. There was communication issues with host trying to remedy this problem. Finally went to Wal Mart and bought blankets later that night. Other than that the place is really nice. Recommend just hope there are no issues for you.”

“I think they did not describe that the 2nd bed was a couch bed.”
