The bright and beachy great room is surrounded by large windows that fill the home with natural light. Driftwood-inspired accents and ocean-themed artwork add to the coastal style. Your whole family will love this comfy room for relaxing after a day at the beach or pool, or strolling along the Strand. Glass doors open out to the sun-drenched deck with views of the peaceful neighborhood. You’ll want to sip your coffee out here in the mornings or relax with a glass of wine while you wait for the burgers to be done for dinner.

The sparkling kitchen is bright white with stainless steel appliances. An L-shaped tiered island has bar seating for four people and plenty of counter space for preparing meals and snacks. A classic subway tile backsplash, vintage-inspired pendant lights, and tons of cabinet storage make this kitchen into a streamlined yet stylish workspace.

Just off the living area are two cheerful bedrooms. The first bedroom has a flexible mix of sleeping options— with a king-size bed and two twin-over-twin built-in bunk beds. The attached full bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The second bedroom on this level is the master suite, complete with a king-size bed set against an antique headboard made from a 100-year old Galveston door. The ensuite master bathroom has a tub/shower combo. A convenient laundry nook is also attached to the master bedroom. A third bedroom on the ground level has two full-size beds.

Gather the whole family together in the evenings to prepare some juicy burgers or a fresh catch on the charcoal grill for dinner. The ground level of Sandy Bottom also has a large octagon picnic table, tons of beach lounge chairs, and an outdoor shower. The fully fenced-in yard makes it safe and stress-free for families with four-legged members or small children. When your crew is ready to hit the sand, the Jamaica Beach access point is a quick walk or drive down the lane. And the excitement of the Galveston Strand and Pleasure Pier is never far from your door.

The house was in a perfect location. Literally a 7 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of room to entertain and enjoy family. We will definitely be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Communication and check-in process were a breeze. The location was nice and the neighborhood was quiet. Though after entering, we noticed the house was not completely cleaned; we had to wear shoes because the floors & rug were dirty/sandy. The refrigerator barely worked at all and the kitchen sink had little to no water pressure. Check-in is at 4 to allow time for cleaning, but the cleaners were still there at 5:00. Overall, I wouldn’t rent this location again, but we still made the best of it and enjoyed our stay.
Fence was broken when we got there

Very roomy property with many beds. Nice fenced yard for the dog. Well equipped kitchen but appliances are all very old. Fridge had no shelves left in door and froze some of our food. Stove does not heat evenly anymore. Flooring has spots that are worn to the subfloor. Could use some Kleenex and toilet paper holders. Price was fair.

First of all...3rd bedroom is downstairs in a cubby hole with no bathroom! You are climbing stairs in the middle of the night if you need to potty! The porch has nails sticking up. Part of the rails are hanging. Beds are super hard!

Great Location

Overall we were really pleased about this stay. The location is great and the house had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house was nice for a family. The only downside was that the vacuum didnt work to cleannup sand and some of the light switches didnt seem to work properly.

Galveston get away

Love the location of the house and the convenience of the beach. The owner was very responsive and the rates were great. We had 8 adults and one toddler. The house has plenty of beds but the top bunks are not sturdy enough for adults. Overall it was a great experience but there are some basic maintenance items that could be addressed: Disposal smells of dead fish as soon as you turn the water on. The lights flicker in the secondary bathroom when water is running. The ice maker leaks into the refrigerator and creates standing water on the food. Linens and pillows need to be replaced due to use The bathrooms need to be cleaned better

Excellent, I recommend it.

Communication from the time we rented through the app until the last day was excellent, very friendly and helpful, the property was very clean and comfortable. Things that are beyond the structural that made us love it, which is that we could walk to the beach, have coffee in the morning on the porch, the view is beautiful, definitely pet friendly, they were able to run around downstairs while we spent time with the family, these are things that we value a lot, we will definitely be back next summer😊

Dated and lots of mosquitos

This property is in a convenient location because it’s a short ride across the street to the beach and the corner store has most things and there’s usually a food truck there. The rooms were large and the beds were big and there’s plenty of them. The couch was big too. However, everything is really dated. The bathrooms are tiny and the showers are difficult to operate because the knobs and hardware desperately need to be updated. It’s difficult to adjust the water temperature. We also have small children and they didn’t have a bath stopper to fill the tub so we had to use a washcloth to try to keep the water from draining for a bath. There are swarms of mosquitos - not even an exaggeration and we had to literally bring a small towel and swat around like crazy people and run and rush just to get into the car and still about a half dozen mosquitos would get into the car with us and we would have to kill all of them before we could pull out of the driveway. It’s the worst mosquito encounter I’ve ever had anywhere in Galveston or anywhere ever. When we would pull into the driveway, before we got out of the car you could see them all flying at the windows. We nicknamed this house the mosquito house. The light switches in the living room are a little frustrating because you can’t have the fan on without also having the lights on. And that was annoying at night. There’s also not a water dispenser so we bought bottled. It was generally “fine” but we would not stay here again.
