Great access to the beach
The decor was cute and colorful. The kitchen was well appointed with new and state of the art appliances. The house was smaller than it appeared in the photos. The primary bath was quite large with a double sink vanity. The only negative was the size of the shower……very small. The neighborhood was disappointing. Older houses mostly. It was quite a long drive into town.

Great beach house!
The house was great. I would actually stay there again. It had great beach access and good amenities. It was clean and the bed was a plus, but we did see small ants here and there. We came right after hurricane Beryl so the mosquitos were crazy ridiculous. The internet didn’t work at times and we lost power at night but everything was resolved quickly and it was expected because of Beryl. It didn’t stop us from having fun. The host was accommodating and responded quickly and we will definitely be back. Great location. Quiet beach. Good for families!

Best stay in 20 years
LA LUZ is a well-designed, well-maintained home. It is the best and most thoughtfully equipped vacation home we have rented in Galveston in more than twenty years of annual visits. Very clean, right on the beach, and the management is proactive. We lost power one afternoon, and Pablo, the property manager, was right on the ball keeping up informed of Centerpoint Power's progress and projected restoration. While we had no children in our group, La Luz is arranged and equipped to fully cater to families with kids. We'll be back.

Great!
This property is in an ideal location - right on the beach and in a great neighborhood - Terramar. A few good restaurants are nearby (within 10 minutes) and the ride to Seawall is easy. We had a group of 4 adults and a couple of kids (grandchildren). We stayed in to cook a number of meals and every kitchen tool, utensil that you could want was found in the cabinets. The house is roomy and cozy with 3 great bedrooms. We spent almost every late afternoon, early evening on the deck just relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the surf, people walking along the beach and……………maybe a drink or two. 😁. We are already talking about another visit and will definitely be back!

Great house! Great host!
This is a really cool house with great decks. This property has incredible views and is located on a private beach. The layout of the house is excellent which was nice since we had a couple of rainy days and it was very comfortable for four adults to hang out inside. The house is well furnished. The host was wonderful! We accidentally scheduled during the big biker rally and he allowed us to move the trip back a week. We had a couple of questions and he is very responsive. He also allowed us to come in early since no one had rented the previous day. We have used VRBO's numerous times and he is the best!

Our stay was very nice. Six nights Oct. 2023. Home is clean, well stocked, has all we needed, and is in excellent condition. All appliances worked. Bed comfortable. Towels in good shape. Plenty of beach equipment in garage. Deck furniture in good shape. A very good beach home, and we have stayed in many. We will stay here again if it is available next time we come to Galveston.

Great location and an engaged manager/owner
We had a great stay here. Compared to other rentals I've stayed in it's clear there's some determined/deliberate care being paid to renters here: the unit is stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc. And the beach location is perfect. It's very close first of all and even better it's right in the middle between public access in either direction - it's just the right location so crowds aren't on top of you. We stayed during a busy holiday weekend and still had wide open space while just a little bit down in either direction (closer to the public access) it was packed.

Great stay
My family and I had a great time at the beach home. We were able to get out on the beach everyday. My kids loved all the toys and chairs that were there. The house was nice but could definitely use some TLC. We also had a bit of an ant problem. The location of the house is great, and we really enjoyed the caged in area for our dog. We felt very secluded on the beach. We also had so much fun exploring area.
