Location and Perks are Tops!
What a great stay! Location is the best! Walking distance to beach, food, parks, everything you could want. The house is well stocked with essentials and the perks of the grill and fire pit made the stay extra special. Our dog loved it and so did we. Phil was so easy to work with and very helpful. I look forward to staying again!!

Thanksgiving Getaway
The property was very clean and well kept. We had the whole backyard to ourselves for the trip and my 4 dogs loved it. Communication with the host was fast and he was quick to address any issues. Overall one of our favorite places we have stayed in. My only negative about the place is being you are so close to the neighbors you can hear everything going on around you.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed the Surf Shack. It’s a small house but very cute and with a nice backyard (which our dog appreciated). Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The house has everything you need including towels, plates/cups, and most importantly GREAT A/C! You’ll be about three city blocks from the Pleasure Pier and seawall, so bring comfy shoes and it’s an easy walk to the beach.

The house and property manager were great. My husband and I were able to walk from the house to the seawall. The location was close to almost everywhere.

Galveston Surf Shack
Property was as described and very clean. Really enjoyed the fenced in yard for our dogs and the fire pit with firewood. Was kinda bummed when internet was totally down for 24 hours, which means no tv service. Location and ease of walking to beach, places to eat and drink where a plus.
