What Can I Say?

This is the 4th year in a row that our family has stayed at this property and...............it gets better every year! Everything is in order; plenty of supplies, dishes and utensils. The really nice feature is that every bedroom has its own bathroom and it is an easy walk to the beach. It is a quick commute to town for groceries, dining and shops on the Strand. We are planning to spend next summer there again with our family.

Fun Family Fourth of July Vacation

Beautiful spacious home just a short walk to the beach. Loved the awesome deck with amazing views of the Gulf of America! Bedrooms were very comfortable and accommodated our large family with our grand babies. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities for cooking. We enjoyed an amazing Firework show from the beautiful deck. We can wait to come back next year for the 4th of July!

Perfect Beach Stay

Couldn’t have asked for a better house for our beach trip. So much open space for hanging out upstairs. Beds were comfortable and so nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. Well stocked kitchen and the beach supplies really came in handy too.

Great Beach House 4.50/5.00 Stars

Our recent stay at this beach house was exceptional. It exceeded our expectations and stands out as one of the best properties we've rented in Pirates Beach over the past 40 years. The house is well maintained with a great layout. It features two primary bedrooms with king-sized beds that appeared new and were very comfortable. The other two bedrooms each have four bunk beds (full on the bottom, single on top) and attached bathrooms with standing showers. One of the highlights is the multiple decks, including a rooftop deck with spectacular Gulf views. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are located on the top floor and are massive, making it an ideal spot for gatherings and relaxation. A standout feature is that the property is managed directly by the homeowners. The towels and blankets were notably soft and of higher quality than what we've experienced in corporately managed properties. The house was well-stocked with multiple refrigerators, icemakers, coffee makers, and everything you need in the kitchen. The garage was a treasure trove of beach essentials, including chairs, tables, boogie boards, and a wagon for easy transport to the beach. Overall, this beach house provided a wonderful and memorable stay. Its excellent layout, superior amenities, and personal touch of homeowner management set it apart from other rentals in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend this property for a top-tier beach house experience in Pirates Beach.

This is our 3rd time staying at this beach house

We have been pleased every time we have stayed at this beach house. It is within easy walking distance to the beach and it has all the amenities to make it an enjoyable and comfortable stay. A really nice feature is that each of the 4 bedrooms have their own private bathroom. We plan to stay there again next year.

Family Time Fun

Our family had a wonderful time in Pirates Beach. The house was clean and large enough for all of us. The walk to the beach was easy and for those who couldn't walk, parking was available close to the entrance to the beach. Overall, it was a wonderful beach house and we hope to return next summer!

Great place for big grouo

The house was great! Great location. Pretty far from Seawall and shops. But only a bock and 1/2 to the beach. Only complaint... those stairs! You have to be in good shape to climb up and down 32 stairs numerous times. I myself have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis so it was really hard for me. But even those in shape and the teenage boys complained of their legs hurting. Be prepared to exercise! We had a wonderful time in anyway! Thank you for letting stay in your home!

Great Floorplan, Downside Roaches

The house has a great floor plan for families. The location to the beach was wonderful. The house looked and smelled clean, however, there were cockroaches which was a very unpleasant surprise. We would stay there again, but I would bring insect spray.

Perfect house for our group!

The house was perfect for our group of 16. The kitchen is big enough to allow 3 cooks working, or a buffet, and was stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, cutlery and general kitchen supplies like trash bags, dish soap and coffee filters. The living area accommodated all of us playing games and visiting. Loved the balcony for beach breezes and appreciated all the ceiling fans and good a/c in the Texas heat. The stairs were challenging for several of our seniors but we managed. We'd love to do it all again! Thanks for a great house for a big group at a reasonable price.

Our Second Year Staying at this Beach House

This is the second year we have stayed at this beach house. Our family travels from Chicago, San Antonio and Houston to spend a few days together and with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, it is perfect for everyone. The house is well furnished with everything from furniture, great mattresses and plenty of kitchen utensils. The beach is a short walk away. You will want to spend some time in the mornings and sit on their covered balcony, eat breakfast and drink your tea or coffee. You are also relatively close to Galveston, so it is a short drive to restaurants and The Strand. We plan to stay there again next year.
