What Guests Are Saying
“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. ”
