“Gorgeous home! We had a wonderful stay!”

“Host was very responsive and checked on us. Home was spacious for our families. The pool is covered which was great for being able to swim anytime of the day without being under the hot sun. The kids spent most of their time here. They also had a good time fishing in the back. Thanks for having us.”

“We really enjoyed our stay. The house was wonderful and access to the beach was amazing. Would stay again.”

“My family and I had the best time! The house is absolutely beautiful. We ended up booking an extra day to enjoy it longer. We will be booking again in the future.”

“We really enjoyed staying at this rental on the canal. It was nicely decorated, comfy beds and enjoyed the pool and fishing off the deck.”

“Loved our stay in the modern, stunning, and cozy home. We were traveling with a large family group from France and everyone was blown away! We all had our own space, perfectly comfortable bed, and for my first time in an Airbnb, a very well stocked kitchen for cooking! We spent mornings and evenings relaxing over meals, in the pool, and fishing and days in downtown Galveston. It truly was one of my top stays and look I forward to coming back again soon! Host was very friendly, attentive, and kind. 10/10 stay!”

“Loved the place! Kids had a great time. Host was very responsive with any questions or issues we had.”

“We had a wonderful stay for an extended weekend after a cruise out of Galveston. House was so nice, we were able to have a great family reunion. Kids had a great time fishing off dock and swimming in the wonderful pool. Beach is very close by, so cool to be able to drive right onto beach, the ice cream man even came by while we enjoyed the ocean and sun. This home was one of our best stays ever.”

“This Moby Dick’s Beach House was a wonderful place for a family get-together. It was clean, as described and we had everything we needed for a long weekend family beach trip. The pool was a wonderful place to cool off after hours at the beach in August. We did have a few issues during our stay that should be noted. The upstairs TVs would not work, we tried troubleshooting but no luck! Donna offered to send out maintenance but as we only had one night left we declined (there was a delay in her response but I also did not call just texted). Would have been a great place for kids to retreat to. In addition, the grills were awful, really not usable. For the price of the home, a nice gas grill or at least a good clean charcoal grill should be available. A couple other little things that were noted and shared but not critical.”

“The house was beautiful and was very clean. It had a well equipped kitchen. We have a large family and there was plenty of room for all of us and the pool was really nice. We had a really good time even if the tropical depression messed up the fishing. We enjoyed being able to dock the boat at the house . All it all the house met all our needs and expectations.

We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back soon!”

“Great home we enjoyed our stay”

“Beautiful house on canal with heated pool ! Beds also very comfy. Not cheap mattresses like some rentals. For our family get together was perfect ! ”

“The house was just as described, perfect spot for a few families to vacation. Super spacious and loved that each room had a bathroom connected. Would definitely come back!”

“This home was truly everything my family and I needed for a meaningful and relaxing weekend together. From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for both comfort and connection. The space was one of our favorite parts! There was more than enough room for everyone to spread out, unwind, and enjoy their own quiet moments, while still having plenty of areas to gather and make memories as a family. Some of us spent time fishing, others enjoyed the pool, and others were relaxing in the living room and kitchen. What we appreciated most was how seamlessly all of those moments could happen at the same time without anyone feeling crowded. The home made it easy to truly relax and just enjoy being together. It’s a beautiful property that created such special memories for us, and we are so grateful for our stay. We would absolutely love to return and will definitely keep this home in mind for future trips.”

“Great property and appointed well”

“Nice big house with plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Great fenced backyard.”

“This house was wonderful. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and also very close to the beach. The pool was wonderful for our kids. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and also the big open kitchen that we could all gather and cook together. We also had enough beds for all of our guests to sleep and they were comfortable. Also, the two refrigerators was a plus.”

“This was amazing for my group and I. Definitely highly recommend”

“Beautiful, clean place for a great price!”

“Great place to stay, excellent host as well.”

“Great place to stay for a family beach trip, will book again.”

“Great house and location! We enjoyed our stay!”

“This is is AMAZING! It’s very spacious and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The beds were extremely comfortable. The location of the house was a great. Took us 3 mins to the beach. The pool was a little chilly but really nice after being in the sun and beach all day, was really nice to come back too. We also utilized the canoes it was a bonus to have there, super fun and was able to allThe houses in the area. The layout of the house was perfect for our family getaway. We can’t wait to stay again. LOVE LOVE LOVE this house. ”

“We stayed here for our annual Galveston family vacation. It was the perfect size and setup for our large family. The covered pool was very thoughtful and the beach is very close—a three minute drive to park on the beach. I look forward to staying here again next year.”

“We really enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive. We would stay there again in the future. It is a beautiful house in a great location.”

“Our family does a family beach week every year around July 4th. This is definitely one of the best we experienced. The photos didn’t do it justice. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and appliances. Definitely looking at this place for next year.”

“Moby Dick is the ideal place for a large family/group to stay when visiting Galveston Island! The pool stays nice and cool in the shade which is a nice way to escape from the summer heat and avoid getting sunburned.”

“The house was wonderful! The kids loved the pool and the beach was close. Donna was a wonderful host, always responding quickly and eager to please us!”

“Beautiful home and very spacious. Home looks just like photos. I would recommend others to stay here.”

“Moby Dicks is a comfortable, modern, and clean beach home. The pool was the main attraction as it is in the shade with seating in both shade and sun so appealing for all. My suggestions to make the home even better would be to replace the outdoor charcoal grill with an easier to use outdoor gas grill. Also, I suggest that the garage be organized with more bins/shelves that are labeled for the pool toys, life jackets, etc.”

“Me encantó nuestra estadía ahí definitivamente lo volvería a repetir”
