What Guests Are Saying
“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!”
