Amazing vacation home!
We stayed 4 nights…it was the nicest vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. Everything is brand new, top of the line. Beautiful beach decor, comfortable beds, great location, nice little street…it was perfect for our family. We come to Galveston every year, and I will definitely want to stay at Sapphire Shells next year! Thank you so much for having us.

Beautiful Property! 5 Stars
We booked this rental for a last-minute weekend away with friends and were not disappointed. Absolutely beautiful home with everything we could have needed. Great location, just a short walk to the seawall and many restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Exactly as Advertised
It’s a very well appointed house that was thoughtfully outfitted with everything you’d need. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The owners text and respond quickly. I have nothing bad to say about the experience.
I only have a couple of suggestions: please consider slow closing toilet seats. There were a couple of loud bangs in the night. Lastly, it would be great if you had a step stool for young kids to reach your tall sinks in the bathroom.
