great for my family!
My family and I came down for the week and stayed here, it’s pretty close to everything and really quiet neighborhood. I loved the porch and swing and the bedrooms were nice. Only thing you should look out for is when it storms, sometimes the door leaks, but other than that it wasn’t a huge issue and I loved everything else about it.

Fun stay in Galveston, not too far away from Jamaica Beach. However it is about a 20 to 30 minute drive into town But worth the stay if you’re willing to drive

Great house
The house was perfect for our family and friend. The privacy of the downstairs suite was perfect along with the shared family space upstairs. There was a beach access close by, and lots of beach toys to borrow. The outdoor showers were especially convenient after a long day at the beach and we were very happy to see that they even had hot water. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Little Get Away
My family and I decided to take a small vacation for spring break and this house is more than worth the money. We had everything that we needed at our finger tips and we were within driving distance for any other needs. I would definitely reserve this property again for my family of 7 and our fur baby.

Amazing vacation and location!
The property was great. It was clean, in a great location, and just as described. My family loved the home. We had a view of the bay and a small walk to the beach. We enjoyed breakfast together and spent the day out and about and enjoyed family game night each night. We felt welcomed and comfortable. I will recommend to my family and friends and would love to stay at this home in the future. The owner was available and so nice. You cannot go wrong with this listing.

50th Anniversary Family Vacation
Spending vacation with family is the ultimate enjoyment! House had comfortable sleeping arrangements and kitchen was pretty much equipped. We did add for future guests a blender and large pot (for seafood boils). A lot of time was enjoying the ground floor lanai. Very very relaxing area and a hop across the boulevard to public beach access. Perfect! The evening treks to the beach was perfect way to end the day.

Beach House 🏖
We had so much fun! The house was super cute and we loved the themes. Could say the floors were a bit dirty so bring house shoes. But that was the only thing. Everything was amazing, fun, and great place to make memories! For sure going back to the houses. Might make it a regular thing 🤔😂

mid-holiday escape with sons and their GFS
this was great for privacy--three enclosed bedrooms--and hanging out together; short walk to pretty beach; grill and well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. some suggestions: add paper towels, curtain or screen for twin bed nook. no recycllng bins? most people prefer this. i meant to take mine home, but one of my kids threw into garbage and i did not realize. add utility scissors. we had a lovely stay and wish you the best of future listings. maybe my inauguration of the Whale will lead to future stays! Happy holidays. and thanks

Property w/potential but.......
Overall, property presented differently than what we found when we checked in. Property owner was communicative but concerns not addressed. Mold in many ceiling vents. Island lights flickered at high position. Internet/TV not working. Smoke detectors located in dresser drawer in kitchen. We were informed of water damage to roof w/repairs prior to arrival. No evidence seen. AC filter obviously not cleaned recently & AC plugged into strip not the wall. Owner stated took over property in Jan and we were 2nd guest to stay. He said property in process of repairs but this VRBO user under impression that said repairs (not storm related) need to be completed prior to listing this property. Owner did refund 20% of total charge. This guest is disappointed with this amount and feel all but the cleaning fee should have been refunded for the numerous (and admitted) issues. Pictures of black mold spots in kitchen ceiling vents clearly show a potential health issue, not including the safety issues with non functional smoke detectors and AC electric supply.
