****************

WARNINGS: It is very important to know that All the dunes and bushes on the island are the poisonous snakes’ habitats. This has been known in Galveston for many years. Please stay off the dunes and bushes. Stay on the dune walkover to get to the beach. Always watch your steps when you walk on grasses or the walkover.

BUGS: ants, mosquitoes, chiggers, palmetto bugs, cockroaches, silverfishes, spiders, love bugs, big bugs, small bugs, tiny bugs, and all kinds of bugs are part of Galveston's life. Because we are in the coastal region with wetlands and open ditches surrounding.

To control these pests, the house has been scheduled to be sprayed quarterly and annually by our local pest control company. Per our pest control company, the spraying does not prevent them from crawling or flying in during the open and close of getting in and out of the house. However, if they do get in, they won't survive. You might see them unexpectedly during your stay.

Close the doors immediately after use, turn off the outside lights at the doorways also help to minimize them from getting inside. Because lights attract bugs.
Please do not bring food, snacks, candy into the bedrooms to prevent ants. Please do not leave food crumbs on the floor, inside the house will attract ants, or the ground floor, outside where the picnic tables are, will attract wild animals such as snakes, ants, bugs.

NEW CONSTRUCTION:
The house is in underdeveloped communities. We do not know exactly when new construction will start or how long to expect construction on any house to last. You may reserve a house at a time when there is no construction, but it may begin prior to your arrival.
We regret any inconvenience that may result. We have no control over these situations and are unable to refund you the money.

Fabulous home
Our group of “mermaids” has been gathering on Galveston Island and other locations for 30 years this year. We have always rented on the far west end but decided to try the east end this year. We were so glad we did! The house was absolutely gorgeous! The views of our beautiful gulf were perfection and being so close to the shops and restaurants was really nice. Best of all, Mai was the most accommodating host I think I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond making sure we had a smooth check-in and that we had everything we needed. She responded immediately to our call for a repair on the elevator and followed up to be sure it was working and all was going well. Thank you, Mai for everything! I have a feeling our mermaids will be making their way here again and again.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. We’ve stayed at a few houses in Galveston but this is by far the most spectacular. The house is super clean and well maintained. It feels like visiting a family member’s house rather than a rental. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful Long Weekend in Galveston
“The One” Beach House is amazing. The home is very comfortable with a lot of luxury touches. Our multi generational family really enjoyed the stay at the beach house. The hosts- Mai and Tom were amazing and very responsive. We had a private chef - Jewel that was recommended by the owners and she and her team did an exceptional dinner for us at the house. You will want to stay here, believe me.

Spectacular beachfront getaway
We had the most wonderful stay! Beautiful, spacious luxury home that is great for families with kids of all ages. Mai was very responsive and accommodating, checkin and checkout process was very smooth. Location is prime for access to beach and only a short drive to restaurants/the strand/moody gardens. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!!

Very special Galveston beach home!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful beach house in Galveston. Very clean, right on the beach (exactly as advertised) with AMAZING views! Super close to restaurants, the Strand, shops, etc, but still far enough away to have some peace and quiet from tourists and crowds. The square footage was just about perfect for us. Plenty of room for our family of four (two adults, two munchkins), and our extended family (two grandparents, an uncle, aunt and another munchkin), all staying under the same roof. The open kitchen, dining, and living area was also great for meals we prepared and enjoyed there. We loved the hot tub as well. Nice and clean--and hot! Perhaps the only negative we experienced--no access to the elevator on site. The house has multiple stories and a lot of stairs and lugging all our luggage, groceries, and supplies up into the house, then back down on departure day wasn't much fun. If you have elderly parents or very young kids staying there with you, may want to keep that in mind. Other than that, this place is a SOLID 5 stars. We'd definitely come back again. And we hope to!
