“Stayed here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday it was amazing and the kayaks were an awesome experience, overall 10/10 would definitely come back again!”

“Excellent location, house was perfect.”

“Everyone loved the house- literally every time someone showed up their first response was “this place is incredible!” My family and I had a great time and everyone wants to make it an annual trip (specifically to this house)”

“Gorgeous beach house!”

“Me encantó el lugar la casa. Realmente la pasamos fenomenal y quedamos con muchos deseos d volver”

“Loved the layout of the house. It was great for our family of 13. The dining room table was great for sitting for all of us for meals & games. Beds were comfy. We all had a wonderful time in the pool & spa & the kayaks & paddle boards were an added bonus! Loved the palapa. Great shade! Note to other guests: Take your soap or body wash for showers as the bar of soap is tiny. Take a blanket if you are cold natured because quilts on beds are thin. A great place to stay for large family!”

“Great place for groups of all sizes. Plenty of space to relax. Pool was nice and the setup was very accommodating for everybody.”

“Our stay was really good. The location was perfect and semi secluded. The amount of space we had was great for our family to relax and not be on top of each other. We had everything we needed till make our stay pleasurable. We will definitely look to book again.”

“The sheets on the bed in captain quarters felt rough and not sure if bedspread had been washed. The overall cleaning was very good and each bathroom was well stocked with toilet paper but not enough towels for our families. The toiletries were very tiny take you body wash shampoo and conditioner. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes silverware utensils and pots. Some seasoning and the outdoor kitchen was stocked. Do take paper towels and trash bags. The hot tub jets were not working and the host did have maintenance come to look at it but had not been given the ok by owner to fix it, the washer & dryer were not working properly so we all had to bring home dirty clothes the maintenance did look at it but still didn’t spin clothes out and took forever to dry. We had all ages and have to say that it had something for everyone except no tv in bedrooms except the master. We did take one for our grands to use in bunk room and it was fine. The property and house is beautiful”

“This house was perfect for our large group. We enjoyed everything it had to offer. I will definitely keep this home in mind for our next trip.”

“great house and great location. our family had a wonderful week and we are looking forward to staying again next summer!”

“Top notch. Great corner canal location with plenty of outdoor space and big pool. Great shade as well. Indoor was beautiful and held our large group easily. Highly recommend this house. Will definitely return.”

“Fabulous place!”

“Stay was great! We had a group of 13 and really enjoyed the ground floor entertainment area. Would stay again. ”

“Beautiful place and quiet area! Host offered lots of recommendations in their digital manual. We had a blast. Home was very clean and had everything we needed.”

“Everything was excellent ”

“The house and amenities were amazing! Pool/hot tub, bar/cabana, and fire pits were incredible and a perfect spot for big groups! We appreciated lots of games and bedrooms! Two minutes to the beach so we had quick and easy access to ocean and sand. Will definitely book again!”

“House is beautiful. Pool and hot tub were excellent. Caught a lot of fish but were pretty small. Actually enjoyed everything but wish pool had been heated. Would definitely recommend!”

“We loved our stay at Livin the Dream! Beautiful house with water on three sides and a glorious pool and hot tub. We loved every second and look forward to returning in the future!”

“This house was beautiful, comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The views from any window of the house were amazing. The pool, hot tub, and arcade games kept the kids occupied and we also enjoyed the kayaks. If we ever get back to Galveston, we'll book this house again. Only suggestion- make firepit kit more easily seen and have directions with it. Didn't find the kit until we were leaving, and it was difficult to shut and lock the Get-away room door. Thank you so much for everything else. Love our time there.”

“The house with absolutely fantastic may this feel welcome and connected if we needed him but the house was so well stocked so we'll put together we didn't really need to bother the host”

“Thanks, it was great”

“The pictures accurately represent the rental and the amenities are great!Had a few questions and the owners responses were quick.Given the opportunity,would not hesitate to rent again.”

“Great place to stay with lots to do. Would definitely book again for a longer period next time.”

“The house is incredible. We had 16 women for our stay and there was plenty of space and no fighting over bathrooms. The outdoor space is unbeatable. There are no extra blankets and only 1 towel per person provided, be prepared for that. Otherwise, the home is incredible, and worth the price. There were even kayaks and paddle boards available for our use. 8 cars can park on site and the beach is easy to get to. You are also right on the water which is very serene, the sunrise and sun set on the decks cannot be beat. Finally, communication was incredible. We had a few questions regarding boat docks and a door that needed maintenance. The maintenance team was out there same day and responses were within minutes on all other inquiries. We would absolutely rent this home again.”

“Excellent stay, responsive and welcoming hosts. Beautiful scenery, came down for a fishing trip with 8 other guys and we all slept comfortably. Will be back next year hopefully!”

“We enjoy weekends over here. Bathroom very clean Big patio Big kitchen We so happy to find the right house we want. Thank you for everything. Hope we can have this house for next vacation.”

“We had a wonderful time at this house, and my fiancé stayed there with his friends the following weekend and had a wondering time as well. There were a few small issues that the host was responsive about and receptive to. This house truly has everything. Make sure you realize the “Getaway Suite” is on the back of the house and has its own door and key lock. Also, do not walk barefoot because the cleaners will not be able to find every fish hook or piece of glass someone might have left on the ground. And perhaps bring a thicker blanket for the beds if you get cold at night. Additionally, the dryer does not work very well. However, the house is beautiful and we WILL be back! We made such incredible memories here and the pool is just perfection!”

“It was an amazing stay will definitely return!”

“happy relax and host is supper nice too with the house and will come back again”

“We had a great time at the StayBeachBox property. There were 14 of us staying at the house for a small family reunion with ages ranging from 7 to 69 yrs old. There was plenty to do at the house for everyone - our highlights were fishing, the pool, kayaking/paddle boarding, the outdoor space, the little arcade machine with classic games, and quick access to the beach! Our stay at Livin’ the Dream - Galveston was fantastic and we’d definitely rent again!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this amazing home. The place was perfect for me, my brothers, and our grown children to get together for quality family time with endless fun in the sun and salt. The accommodations were clean, spacious, and extremely functional. There are communal areas where we could all gather comfortably and enough levels and space that it allowed smaller groups to get together and hang out or for someone wanting a little peace and quiet to get away from the larger group. The host was thorough and responsive. We could not have asked for me and are already considering making it an annual or semi-annual tradition. I highly recommend this amazing oasis on the bay! ”

“3rd summer in a row that we’ve stayed at this property and we love it more each year! So many great memories for the kids and the adults. Love that we are able to do this every year and can’t wait for next years week at Livin’ the Dream!”

“We stayed at Living The Dream in 2022 and again last week. We had all the kids and grandkids and there was plenty of room. I absolutely love this house! The host was amazing, very good at communicating with us. The fishing was amazing and the pool kept everyone happy. I couldn’t wait until we was able to book it again. If you have a large family and looking for a great vacation house, this is it! I would recommend it to everyone! ”

“The property was great for our large family in bedrooms and communal space”

“Nice place to stay”

“Great property, going to book again for next year. Here are my suggestion for future groups….. you don’t need to bring ice, bring “strong” kitchen garbage bags, bring containers for leftovers. There are 3 refrigerators. Don’t need a Bluetooth speaker. And last…. Don’t bring a grill the one here is great. ”

“Great place! We really enjoyed the outside area.”

“Rigtig fint hus med gode muligheder for aktiviteter i huset. Vi har været glade for at bo der.”

“Great house. Tons of space for activities and gatherings amongst our group. The kitchen was spacious and perfect for dinner. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and the kayak/paddleboards. The stay was brief, but StayBeachBox was prompt in responding, provided all necessary information, and they assisted where needed.”

“Great house. Tons of space. Photos accurate. Spacious kitchen with plenty of essentials. Three coffee makers. We enjoyed fishing, the pool and hot tub, and ground floor game room/kitchen/grill and patio. Really wonderful house. The best we have stayed at in JB”

“Great house. Large space for gatherings”

“There are no words to describe how fun and relaxing this property was. It was exactly as described and communication with the host was flawless and incredibly prompt. We felt like there wasn’t a single thing they hadn’t thought of to add to this house in terms of comfort and entertainment. The kayaks were readily available and easy to use. The views from the house were so beautiful and the multiple porches allowed for several different vantage points. The hot tub and pool instructions were clear and easy to use. The property is gated with several grassy areas which allowed our two little dogs to run around and play without us having to worry. We also rented a golf cart, which allowed us to access the stores, restaurants, and beach in the community. We have already booked our next weekend! Thank you for an amazing stay!”

“I enjoyed my stay at this property. Very nice, functional, peaceful property.”

“We had a wonderful stay! The house was immaculately clean, beautiful, and the views from every room in house are amazing. Lots to do, inside and outside. The location was perfect for fishing on the dock and exploring the nearby beach. We loved the hottub, especially when it was cold outside. The yard is fenced, which was convenient for our dogs. It was cozy inside when it snowed with gorgeous views perfect for relaxing and reading a book or playing the games host has provided. Kitchen was well appointed and great for cooking. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and fun getaway! We can't wait to come back. Next time we plan to use the kayaks/paddle boards that are avaible for use. Also, the host was responsive and friendly!”

“Came here for the weekend for my son’s birthday. An amazing time was had. My son loves fishing and he had a blast catching all kinds of fish off the dock. The house is beautiful and located in a perfect spot on the bay. We were able to fish, kayak, swim in the heated pool and just have a great time bonding with family. There was ample space for all 16 of us at the Living the Dream house. I left my bag with my iPad on the dock and didn’t realize until I got home over an hour away. I contacted StayBeachBox and they promptly got in touch with the cleaners and held onto it for me. I highly recommend the house, StayBeachBox and will definitely return!”

“We’ve stayed here since summer 2018. The property has gone through many changes. We’ve adapted over the years.-the grill didn’t work properly for years, but it does now.-hot tub this year wasn’t able to get hot. It’s on the owners app. After much communication, it was never turned on. No communication back.-ice machine in the kitchen has been broken for years. Requires ice to be moved from the downstairs. Not the end of the world but would be a nice fix and inexpensive.-there is no proper key to turn in the fire pits. There used to be, but currently not a way to turn it on.-the stereo that had been outside for years is gone. I bought something to tide us over.Love the house. We’ve stayed there 8 times. Wish items would be addressed if possible. Thank you.”

“My main complaint would be that we had no towels….in a house that sleeps 22 we had maybe two towels per room. We had to use beach towels as well as ask a friend to bring some beach towels from their home. This would be my only complaint. The pool and area near the canal were a great place to hang out.”

“The house was great for our family and friend’s tour of 16 people including toddlers. The House was clean and beautiful had enough bed rooms and each room had beautiful views.Pool was good but only the hot tub was heated the big pool was not heating up.”
