We had a large family vacation and this house made for the perfect trip! He was quick to respond and very helpful. The location was great! We had four kiddos and they really enjoyed going right down the road to crab hunt at night. We had a great experience here and hope to visit again!

Great stay with the family - 7 people. It was nice that everyone had a bed to sleep in without anyone having to be on the couch. Convenient location for visiting places along the seawall. We would gladly stay here again.

The house shakes at times for no known reason. The beds were comfortable but the bed covers are very thin and worn in 2 of the rooms. The house had an "odd" unpleasant smell for the first day yet it was well cleaned. Overall it was okay. Location was exceptional and so was the host.

The property was good, location great on West End, clean home. Things to improve would be new pans, there was only one and it was heavily worn, new towels and wash rags, very worn and mismatched, new light bulbs our closet light out and rooms were dark and a new TV remote. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Thank you !

My favorite thing about this property was its location. It’s located far enough away from the business of Galveston to give what feels like a private beach experience but close enough to the attractions like the moody center or grocery stores.The home was pet friendly, included a gate on the porch and several locations to wash.I didn’t know there would be an outdoor shower which was very cool. I’d always wanted to try one.We forgot beach toys for our toddler but luckily enough the place had much for us to use.We had fun!
