“We needed to fit 18 people, including quite a few kids, into an Air BnB, and the setup here was perfect. There are tons of beds, and the kids really enjoyed the bunks. The public gathering areas were spacious. Neighborhood/proximity to beach are fantastic, especially for the price. Kitchen is surprisingly well equipped, especially with small appliances like waffle iron and blender. We had a couple of small issues: the front door lock is peculiar, so be sure to read the posted instructions. You also need to pull it all the way closed while locking. The cleaners appeared to have cut some corners--we found a fair bit of hair, a lost toy, etc., when we moved in. The biggest issue for me was a strong musty smell in some parts of the house. This is typical for Galveston, where hurricanes blow through and soak everything every few years, but it could be an issue for someone with sensitive allergies. All in all, we had a great time and would rent again. The space-location-price were ideal!”

“Great place to stay and very responsive host. Will stay again!”

“Good”

“This was our second time to stay at this, Airbnb. We enjoy the large living area and dining area. It gives room for my large family to have fun together. And there’s plenty of room for everyone to sleep.”

“We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The host was friendly and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!”

“Great place, was perfect for our group. Plenty of space and close to the beach”

“Great house”

“Overall, great experience at the house. Did ran into some issue with AC but it's mechanical and mechanical will break from time to time. Communicate with host and we made things work and they will probably get that fixed.”

“Nice place and location. WiFi didn’t work.”

“We had a great time at this air bnb! Great host and it’s a very big place, would definitely recommend for large groups.”

“This was a fantastic place for our extended family to stay for Memorial Day weekend! We had a great time in the beach house. It had plenty of space for everyone. The living area is spacious and the balconies were enjoyable. The house was very clean, except for the floors. Even upon our arrival, if you walked barefoot, your feet would get quite dirty. Maybe that’s just how it goes with any beach house. A few things to note for anyone staying here in the future/some easy fixes that could be made: - two of the bathrooms are very cramped, so just be prepared for that. The pictures make them look bigger than they are. - only one kitchen towel provided, so bring extras! - no hot pads in the kitchen! - most Airbnbs we’ve stayed at have board games, this one didn’t, so bring your own! - the photos in the listing are slightly outdated, now the house is a pretty blue color. Also, there are newer houses closely surrounding it now. This was a beautiful home! Made lots of memories!”

“Great quick stay in Galveston. Natalie was a great host and helped any issue we were having.”

“Positive: location and house was wonderful, plenty of room Negative: After I checked out I had an issue that wasn't resolved and the feedback I received was lacking in effort for resolution. However, the accommodations were wonderful, this place is great for a large family.”

“The place was great and only need new utensils.”

“We enjoyed our stay here before going on a cruise. Short walk to the beach. The house and the neighborhood feel safe and are very nicely designed. Great house for a large group.”

“Home was super easy to get to. Clean home with plenty of space for everyone in our group. Walk to the beach was short and easy! Would definitely consider staying here again!”

“Amazing place, amazing host”

“We really enjoyed staying at this house in Galveston! It was in a great location and was a beautiful house close to the beach.”

“I absolutely adore everything about this house !!! it’s a less than 10 minute walk from the beach because there’s a private access entrance in the neighborhood you’re staying! If I could give this 4.5 stars, I would the only reason for the four star rating is because out of having 13 beds I didn’t find any of them comfortable enough and chose to sleep on the couch(they weren’t uncomfortable, but the couch was more comfortable.) That being said, the blankets are so nice and comfortable, and the pillows don’t move around in the middle of the night! I felt so incredibly fancy and will absolutely be back again !!!”

“Natalie was very responsive and helpful! We absolutely loved our stay and will be coming back again. The kids loved the space and playing hide in all the rooms. Definitely recommend!”

“We stayed three nights with two families (9 people total) and overall had a great trip. The layout worked well and everyone had their own space. The beach access is excellent and the beach itself was fantastic — clean, easy to get to, and no cars allowed. It’s also close to good restaurants while still being easy to get away from the Spring Break traffic. The house itself could use some updating. The interior feels a bit tired — the sectional couch, mattresses, kitchen cabinets, and linens have seen better days. The A/C was limited to 71°, which made nights a little warm. Homes are very close together, and our neighbors partied late all three nights, so noise carried easily. The house also backs up to the highway, though traffic noise wasn’t too noticeable. Overall it looks like it was once a really nice beach house and just needs some TLC. Even with the issues, we had a great time because the beach and location are excellent.”

“Great location and beach access! Close to just about everything. What more could you ask for? It’s everything you need for a wonderful time at the beach with friends & family.”

“Beautiful spacious house a easy walk to the beach. I would always come back when in town.”

“Great communication and convenient to the beach and the strand”

“Host was proactive in communicating prior to arrival. Home was as described. Great location.”

“Great host who was very responsive”

“My family and I had a great stay. Thank you.”

“Great unit!”

“A beautiful home perfect for our weekend celebrating a friend and her upcoming wedding. We had 16 people and everyone was able to sleep comfortably in this large home. We did not feel cramped at all. Also great access to the beach. The home is beautiful and spacious inside and great for any large gathering.”

“This home was an amazing find for us! The hosts were welcoming, helpful, kind, and quick to respond. The home was beautiful and exactly what we needed during our stay. Any questions/concerns we had were addressed immediately and it made our stay even better. I would definitely recommend the hosts and their home. We had such a great time!”

“this place was very accommodating for my large family. the kitchen was aptly supplied to make meals for a large group. I like how close it was to the beach.”

“Dinner Friday night to lunch Sunday with Saturday beach day. Worked great for our group”

“It was very clean and nice stay very close to the ocean had a great time”

“The house was spacious and beautiful. We stayed with two other families and we had plenty of room. Our kids had so much fun in the house. We hope to come back soon! Natalie was responsive and made us feel very welcome. ☺️”

“House was great, just the right amount of room for everyone. Very close to the beach and a lot of places to enjoy outside on the patio.”

“Great stay”

“Loved the huge home on the beach! It took less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, and it was through a quiet neighborhood. We drove into town to visit restaurants and tourist attractions. But being away from the traffic was a big plus.”

“This house has everything you need for your getaway. It’s just a short walk to the beach. ”

“The property was very nice, plenty of space for a large party. Clean and close proximity to the beach only a three minute walk. Not far from the main Seawall just a 10 minute drive or less depending on traffic.”

“Natalie was an amazing host!! And accumulated perfectly for my family & I’s trip for a family wedding on the beach! Definitely will be back!”

“Whole family was amazed by the house, location, natalie was accommodating immediately and definitely would come back .. only regret is we didnt stay longer”

“My family loved staying in this beautiful beach home. Quick walk to the beach, beautiful home, and beautiful private neighborhood! Natalie was very helpful, always responded promptly. Very clear instructions for checking in and out. I highly recommend this beach house!”

“Nice home, had everything we needed, the bed where disappointing, could have been more comfortable, would stay again.”

“This is our second time in 4 months staying at this property, and it never disappoints. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The house is a short walk to the beach and the neighborhood is always quiet, even during a peak travel week. The house has things like a washer and dryer, high chair, and other useful amenities when traveling with children. There are lots of great restaurants close by as well. We are looking forward to our next stay here already! ”

“Great spot for our friends get away. Perfect for families with kids. Would stay here again.”

“The house size was perfect for our family. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. The only thing that was missing was a pool (LOL) Also on the downside the sofa lounger is very worn, and needs replacing or upholstered to build the cushion up. Lastly there needs to be televisions in all the bedrooms. Kids love to be in their own space to watch or play their games.”

“Natalie was a great host! Very responsive ! And loved her home!”

“Great place and a great value!”
