The property was gorgeous! Check in was super easy. David (the property manager) was very kind and communicative. We didn't have any issues. There was plenty of detergent for the washer/dryer and plenty of soap for the dishwasher. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for coming. The general store is a quick 10 min drive from the house. We had everything we needed for a relaxing 4 day get away. The house is far enough removed from the busier neighborhoods that the beach wasn't busy at all. And it's just a 30 second walk from the house. The patio shower made cleanup a breeze. The whole family, including the dogs, had a great time. We will definitely be booking this property again.

David responded quickly to my texts and his check in instructions and house rules were very clear and easy to follow. I appreciated the thoroughness of the instructions. The house was very clean and kitchen utensils, cookware and dishes all well stocked. We truly enjoyed the on-the-beach experience using the deck every day! The house was well decorated and furnished. This location is on our radar for another visit.

We had a wonderful, low-key stay at this beach house. The home was very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The balcony was my favorite spot — perfect for morning coffee and evenings watching the waves. We even spotted dolphins and enjoyed a little people-watching while listening to the ocean. The views were beautiful and truly made it feel like a getaway.Mosquitoes were a nuisance, especially around dusk and when there’s little wind, mainly on the lower level and at the beach. Just come prepared with bug spray and light clothing to cover up.This is a great place to unwind. Pack your clothes, food, and toiletries — everything else is taken care of. Amazing views, relaxing atmosphere, and toes in the sand. We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Time

We had a great time being right on the beach. House was clean and spacious so we weren’t cramped in. Took the ferry to Galveston and a little shopping. Everyone enjoyed the ferry ride. David was on top of things when we had an issue in the kitchen. Really enjoyed staying at Shore Beats Work.
