relaxing place near the beach
10 out of 10! We all loved staying at this place It was second row to the beach and had great views of the beach which is what we wanted. The home was clean and they did provide towels and a fully stocked kitchen which was nice so we did not have to bring as much or buy extra stuff we did not really need. The host was super responsive and answered all of our questions on what was good to eat around here, lol. Thanks, we would stay again for sure!

Cozy and close to the beach
My family loved this home. We do not get to come to Galveston often, so finding a cute home so near the beach was a win! You never know what you are going to get, but this home was cute, clean, and made for a relaxing time away from the craziness of the East end of the island. We will be back! Thanks

There is nothing more relaxing than a cool breeze with the sound of seagulls in the distance. Everything was clean, in great shape and very enjoyable. This is a rental that we will keep on our list.

Relaxing family time right near the beach
So happy we found a house near the beach, so much better than a hotel! Loved being right near the beach. Porch was relaxing for us and kids loved the bunk beds. The outdoor shower was also nice so we didn't drag a bunch of sand in. We would definitely stay here again
