Relaxing escape from the city

We enjoyed our stay very much! We wanted to escape from the city and the remote feeling of this house was perfect. The only downside was the wind made the built in blinds in the primary bedroom knock against the glass all night long. It made it virtually impossible to sleep well in that room. We enjoyed being able to watch our kids from the deck while they played on the beach. It was so easy for them to walk down by themselves (ages 5 & 6).

Clean, quiet, off the beaten path

Our host was super helpful and welcoming. House is right on the beach, so sitting on the deck or opening the living room door and listening to the waves is delightful. There is one house next door, but otherwise the house isolated from others. We loved visiting the nearby Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary and seeing LOTS of egrets, spoonbills, and alligators. We also loved driving to the free ferry and visiting Galveston. We chose to kayak Galveston Island State Park. All told, a wonderful experience and a great location for what we were looking for.

Lovely home!

This house is in a great location right on the beach with close proximity to the grocery store and close enough to the ferry that we traveled to Galveston nearly every day. House was well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

We stayed here with my parents and our family dog. It was right on the beach- can't get any closer!- and was exactly as advertised. You can definitely feel the house swaying, but it was really only noticeable on the back porch and wasn't so drastic as to make anyone feel seasick (I was worried it was going to feel like a cruise ship). The house had everything we needed, though a few more cooking basics (pots, pans, bigger bowls for serving) would have been appreciated as we mostly cooked in for dinner. Remember to bring other basics like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, salt/pepper, etc. as nothing is provided. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the beach and our stay!

Great Beach House, Great Owner

We enjoyed our stay at Margenes place. It was clean, perfect location, right on the beach with only one other house next to you. We had an a/c issue and Margene was very easy to talk with and had the issue fixed within a couple of hours. Do not hesitate to book this beach house. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Margene for letting us BORROW your place for a few days and being super responsive to our calls and fixing the issue we had ! Your the best !!!

We had a wonderful week away at this perfect beach house. The house was in a great location, clean and stocked with just what we needed. The beach was wonderful, even though it was cloudy and rainy most of our time there. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves and the rain. We look forward to visiting again soon.
