Great spot for a family vacation

This is a great house located next to our favorite beach in Galveston. This house is quiet since it’s far away from the main road and access to the beach is easy. We enjoyed our time here and appreciated the well stocked kitchen and comfortable deck furniture. We would stay here again.

Relaxing and Beautiful Stay!

The beach house was clean, well-stocked, and beautifully maintained. The hosts were responsive and gave great local restaurant recommendations. The beach was quiet, uncrowded, and just a short walk away—plus, having beach gear provided made things super easy. Beds were very comfy too. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!
