This was the perfect beach retreat. It was within walking distance to the beach and a short drive to shops, restaurants and entertainment. This home provided everything you would need for a fun day at the beach as well as a quiet relaxing evening at home. We would definately stay at this place again.

They aren't kidding when they say they have everything you need! Food is about all you need! They have everything you could possibly need or want for the beach. They have games and puzzles along with several beautiful decks if you're staying in. The house is gorgeous and meticulously maintained! They even have a pac-man arcade game on the wall! 20/10!!!!

Staying at "A Wave Away" was a fantastic experience. Our kids declared that if we go back to Galveston this is the only place to stay ( we have gone three times in the last 8 years). We even had inclement weather and our host made sure that we were where is safe while we were out on the Seawall. We'll definitely use this location again when we go back.
