Perfect Beach Stay

Couldn’t have asked for a better house for our beach trip. So much open space for hanging out upstairs. Beds were comfortable and so nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. Well stocked kitchen and the beach supplies really came in handy too.

Fun Family Fourth of July Vacation

Beautiful spacious home just a short walk to the beach. Loved the awesome deck with amazing views of the Gulf of America! Bedrooms were very comfortable and accommodated our large family with our grand babies. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities for cooking. We enjoyed an amazing Firework show from the beautiful deck. We can wait to come back next year for the 4th of July!

This is our 3rd time staying at this beach house

We have been pleased every time we have stayed at this beach house. It is within easy walking distance to the beach and it has all the amenities to make it an enjoyable and comfortable stay. A really nice feature is that each of the 4 bedrooms have their own private bathroom. We plan to stay there again next year.

What Can I Say?

This is the 4th year in a row that our family has stayed at this property and...............it gets better every year! Everything is in order; plenty of supplies, dishes and utensils. The really nice feature is that every bedroom has its own bathroom and it is an easy walk to the beach. It is a quick commute to town for groceries, dining and shops on the Strand. We are planning to spend next summer there again with our family.

Family Time Fun

Our family had a wonderful time in Pirates Beach. The house was clean and large enough for all of us. The walk to the beach was easy and for those who couldn't walk, parking was available close to the entrance to the beach. Overall, it was a wonderful beach house and we hope to return next summer!

Fabulous Repeat!

This was our second visit to this house. Just like the first visit, we had a wonderful time. The house fit our needs perfectly just as it did the first time. We ate every meal on the lovely deck and lounged around afterwards on the comfortable couch and chairs. The spacious living area and kitchen was wonderful for our large family. We enjoy cooking at the beach, and the kitchen is well equipped. We hope to return for a third visit soon!

Our Second Year Staying at this Beach House

This is the second year we have stayed at this beach house. Our family travels from Chicago, San Antonio and Houston to spend a few days together and with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, it is perfect for everyone. The house is well furnished with everything from furniture, great mattresses and plenty of kitchen utensils. The beach is a short walk away. You will want to spend some time in the mornings and sit on their covered balcony, eat breakfast and drink your tea or coffee. You are also relatively close to Galveston, so it is a short drive to restaurants and The Strand. We plan to stay there again next year.

Perfect house for our group!

The house was perfect for our group of 16. The kitchen is big enough to allow 3 cooks working, or a buffet, and was stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, cutlery and general kitchen supplies like trash bags, dish soap and coffee filters. The living area accommodated all of us playing games and visiting. Loved the balcony for beach breezes and appreciated all the ceiling fans and good a/c in the Texas heat. The stairs were challenging for several of our seniors but we managed. We'd love to do it all again! Thanks for a great house for a big group at a reasonable price.
