Great beach retreat
We wanted to slow down after the busy holidays and this property was perfect. It was clean, comfortable beds, and full kitchen. The beach was visible and only 50 yards away, and with no cars on the beach it was a very peaceful place to walk along. We appreciated the host allowing use of their beach chairs and other items. It was a great stay and highly recommend!

Weekend at the beach
We came to Galveston to celebrate our daughters birthday! The house is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive. The location is perfect. The beach wasn’t crowded and just close enough to go into Galveston for food/entertainment without all the hustle and bustle. Thank you for a great weekend at the beach!
