Beach house was the perfect location for our family vacation! Access to the beach was easy and we loved the huge front porch for viewing sunrise and stars at night. The kitchen had everything we needed for quick meals. Great stay!

Absolutely perfect! Located right by the beach, this house was clean and has so much space. If you need anything, Galveston is just a short 15-20 minute drive. The beach was maintained and never crowded. We will for sure be returning. Also, we have to give a shout out to a local pizzeria, the Way West Grill and Pizzeria was fabulous. Located in Jamaica Beach, so not even 7 minutes, this mom and pop restaurant has the best thin crust pizza and the service was amazing. Our daughter had a quesadilla, and let me tell you, that thing was stuffed full of chicken and cheese. So trust us- you won’t regret staying here! Beautiful place, small town feel, right on the water- absolutely best vacation this year.

This house is the best! It is comfy, clean, attractive, plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, etc. and the AC works great! The ramp makes coming, going, loading and unloading super easy. Not many (or maybe not any) have that feature. It is also closer to the beach than most beachfront rentals. My family has rented in Galveston every summer for the past 40 years, and we’ve stayed in just about every type of home imaginable and this is my favorite of all. Also, the beach is not packed with day trippers like most of the locations in this area. That’s a huge plus. The front sliding door was a bit difficult to open and close, but that could happen anywhere.

No drain plugs in the bathtub.Deck railing missing some boards, outside chairs missing some boards.To much furniture for the size of the living area hard to get around.Needs a GOOD CLEANING!

Wonderful Beach Access!!!

We had a lovely stay! The house looks just like the photos and was very comfortable. Plenty of bedrooms and the windows in the living/dining area had a direct view of the gulf, plus direct access to the beach. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the waves. The owners instructions were easy to follow and they were extremely response when we had a question about working the TV. They followed up with texts and a phone call (TV was working fine - user error working the remote!!!) We would love to come back!

View is unbelieveably peacefully beautiful

House is very nice. Just as shown in photos. It was rainy the 1st couple of days, so we had some mud downstairs to contend with, but doable. Unfortunately, we had a family member become critically ill and had to be admitted to UTMB ICU, so we did not get to spend as much time on the porch as we would have liked, but what we did, was beautiful. Host was great at communication.

We had a wonderful time! The house is truly directly on the water. Which helped a lot with the senior citizens that were with us along with the ramp leading to the beach. If you enjoy brightly colored rooms with beach decor, this is the house with you. No room, disappointed there was so much to look at and taken. The furnishings in the house had everything that we needed.

So fun!

The house is decorated so cutely! The location can’t be beat. Although some reviews say that there is nothing supplied by the house, we were so pleasantly surprised that there was some toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, beach toys, and other beach equipment. It’s probably been left by other people who have stayed, but it was greatly appreciated! Thank you for a memory making weekend :)

Needs a little love

First, let me start with the good. This is a great location! It’s right on the beach. The house is spacious and comfortably sleeps a large number of people. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The fire pit downstairs is a great perk. Now for the not so good. At first glance, the place seemed clean enough, but it became apparent that it was not really that clean. The bed linens were clean, but the extra blankets smelled terrible. There were roaches in the kitchen. Lots of roaches. I contacted the host and they did respond right away and had the exterminator out the next day. Overall the trip was nice, but we were hosting a birthday party and the bugs and lack of cleanliness made it more stressful than it should have been.

A visit to the beach during a snow storm

While most everything met our expectations, the timing during a winter storm may have complicated things beyond the normal. Due to snow and ice on the ramps and stairs we were confined indoors for almost all the time we were there. A request to clear them so we could safely exit was not attended to, though it was an unusual request I am sure. Also we were without hot water in the kitchen, which otherwise was well accommodated. Heating water on the stove allowed us to take care of cleaning up. Otherwise, I would stay here again if assured there would not be a once in a lifetime weather event.
