Perfect for our quick getaway

Great location within a 5-minute walk of the beach and easy access to the downtown strand area. The property is very comfortable, and well-equipped, and was perfect for our party of 6.

The house was fantastic — very clean, spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It's located in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to the seawall, which was a big plus. The host was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. I’d definitely love to come back and stay longer next time!

Great location near the beach

We had a really nice stay. The condo was clean and the property manager was really responsive! The wagon was rusted so you might want to bring your own wagon but otherwise it was a beautiful property. There are two sections so it's easy for 6 people to stay because there are two bathrooms and sections so it didn't feel crowded at all!

Wonderfully appointed, spacious getaway.

This was our second summer to stay here. The house is conveniently located near the beach and not far from the Strand. The house itself is luxurious and comfortable. Will likely rent it again next summer.

Perfect Weekend pre cruise

This is a great property really close to the beach and is the perfect place to stay before a cruise. Super clean and pretty. Three couples fit comfortably and had a lot of fun. Hosts were easy to work with. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Outstanding house in Galveston!

We loved the house and hope to stay here again in the future. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen is lovely with new appliances, and the living room is fantastic with a huge television. The neighborhood is great. There are many restaurants and the beach within walking distance. The owner was easy to work with. It is an amazing house, and we recommend it!

Awesome Home Near the Beach

This home was wonderful and had everything we needed!!! It was close to everywhere we went. It was only a 4-minute drive to the conference we attended and about the same for the places we went to eat! The host was available and answered any questions really fast! If I ever return to Galveston I will be sure to check with the host first because I would love to stay there again!!
