Great location
Easy access to the beach and nice decks and below deck patio. I wish we could have had a few more towels for 6 people. You may want to bring a few extra from home. Great house!

Paradise
This was a perfect property for a relaxing family weekend. It is a very short walk to the beach and loved being able to see the ocean from the living area and the porch. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all meals and dishes and glasses and serving bowls were great quality. The beds were comfortable and the decor in the property was all with a beach theme and well done. The property details are accurate and just as described. We will fore sure be back soon. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a great location, the beach is literally steps from the door. We brought our dogs and having the outdoor shower enabled us to bath them to be sure they did not track sand in to the property.

You’ve Found It!
Looking for your perfect vacation spot? You have found it here! The location is perfect, the beach is private, and this home has everything and more. We came down as part of my surgical recovery. I mostly stayed clear of the beach, but my family could not have had a better time. If you must lay low, this home has all the comforts that allow you to do so. We come down every summer, I’m thinking we’ve found the perfect spot to return to year after year. Thank you!!! ☺️

Visiting my Son at A&M Maritime Academy
We were in town to visit my son at the Texas A&M Maritime Academy. The house was ideal for its location to the school, and access to the beach. Several of my sons friends came over and hung out in the spacious yard and accommodations on the deck. We all had a really good time.

Fantastic Property
The property and location were absolutely fantastic! You are literally a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. The layout of the property was also perfect with each bedroom and bathroom located on separate sides of the house. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a perfect vacation. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Fantastic view
The view of the gulf is outstanding. The beach is steps away, and without having to cross a street to get there. Galveston is a 15 to 20 min drive, but well worth the distance to be on the beach. Lots of great restaurants in Galveston, mostly seafood, but also excellent options for those who don't like seafood. We stayed 2 weeks, and did not run out of things to do or see.

Hidden gem
I normally don't leave reviews unless I am really disappointed or really excited and this place truly impressed me. I don't even know where to start. The layout/floorplan is ideal if you have family or small group - two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the opposite sides of the house with large kitchen/dining/living area in the middle. Comfortable furniture and tasteful beachy décor. Huge porch with a perfect view of the ocean. Literally, steps to the beach and the beach is private! The kitchen was stocked with anything you may need - dishes, utensils, cookware, bakeware, even tupperware for leftovers. If you don't plan on cooking, not a problem - Galveston is less than 10 min away, and a few places to go to or order from right around the corner. A lot of games to play indoor and outdoor, beach gear and so much more. Even though the weather did not cooperate very well the house and location made up for it. Definitely booking this place for the next trip to the gulf. Fingers crossed it's available.
