This place is very modern, close to the beach, and well-equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils and beach gear, including wagons, beach chairs, and kids’ toys. We stayed here for the second year in a row and can highly recommend both the place and its host. Communication with Larry was easy—he responded very quickly.

I am hard to please yet this property blew my mind. This is a new build with two very powerful ac units. Clean, well appointed (every glass cup and cooking implement a full-time household could need), all of the beach stuff, except sand castle toys, and much closer than a so-called short walk to the beach--also there is a boardwalk, instead of stairs for easy access. It is also about a 6 minute drive to all of the kid stuff we wanted to do like go karts, mini golf, and the movie theater. I know people often state in a review that they will be back, but seriously we will be back. I think that this would be a nice place to host Thanksgiving, as our house is not as nice as this rental, or to just pop in in the summer like we did.

Excellent Beach Vacation

The property is very clean and exactly as described. The walk to the beach is very short and easy. The property has wagons, chairs, beach towels, coolers, and everything you need to enjoy the beach. This property is very close to local restaurants, while still being in a quiet and safe little neighborhood. Definitely would stay here again!

Beach Time with Grandsons

This was a perfect beachhouse. Just a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted with dishes, pots and pans, knives and any device you would need. The linens were new, fluffy and fresh. Close to Galveston yet quiet. Will definitely come back if invited!

Well-appointed beach house, but technicalities challenge

My family of 6 enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. It was well-equipped kitchen-wise, laundry room, bedrooms, baths. My only gripes are minor for most people: very late check-in at 5pm, which combined w 11am checkout, makes it feel like I lost a day of decompression time and instead started my trip w high stress levels trying to quickly get set up in home, put away groceries, do meal prep for evening activities, refresh, etc. It seems a cleaning service that can finish earlier in the day is an imp consideration for a rental situation. My only other minor gripe is the excessive extra paperwork (4 page doc) before trip, along w lots of reading notes to figure out how to lock, unlock, garbages, etc. Homeowners forget it's already a challenge to get a family prepared for a trip, please don't compound the challenges w excessive technicalities. Otherwise, beautiful home w lovely furnishings made me feel like I was at my own 2nd home!
