Peaceful stay

Our time here was relaxing and peaceful. The hosts were quick to respond to our questions. It was about a quarter mile walk to the Bay and a half mile to the beach. It was quiet and the stars at night were a sight to behold. I'd stay here again.

You have to give them a try!

This is a new rental we were only their second guests! We spent two nights and absolutely loved their little home! We traveled w a little so the smart tv was perfect for unwinding after a long evening of beaching and trying out the pleasure pier for the first time! The host stayed in contact and the neighbors across the street is just precious ❤️

Would 100% recommend

This house is perfect. When I had a question the owners were quick to reply. The neighborhood is great and away from all the super tourist area which means the beach access that is pretty close isn't over crowded. My husband and I took our 8 yr old and 5 yr old son's, our 8 yr old has severe austism and is easily overwhelmed and this made the fact that the beach access is away from the hustle and bustle even more perfect he was in heaven so if you are looking for a peaceful beautiful getaway I 100% recommend this property.

Galveston get away

We had a few issues with booking the first night, but that was my fault for booking so late. That's where the Host (Krista and Scott) jumped in and save the day. Our host went above and beyond to ensure that all was taking care of during business and after business hours. Ready available for communication and advisement if you needed it. Can't say good enough about these two. The property is very nice and in a central location from the bay or beach. It is a little outside of Galveston but the beaches were not crowded at all and easy access. Definitely will be back soon but not soon enough!!! Thank y'all for an awesome get away from all the hussle!!!

A-C-Sea cottage

The house was clean and supplied with plenty of towels. It is in a very quite neighborhood. My biggest disappointment was the lighting. No lights over the counter/bar/prep area. No lighting at all for outdoors. We had to use flashlights when coming in after dark. The grill was available for use… however it has not been cleaned in a long time.
