Wedding weekend
The home was beautiful and the host was attentive. We did have an issue with the downstairs ac and spa not working, but understand that issues may arise from time to time, as with any home, and the host had maintenance out to try and resolve it, unfortunately it was the weekend and parts were hard to come By. Our host, Ashley was wonderful and offered a reasonable solution. With that said, we would definitely stay here again.

So much fun!
My girlfriends & I stayed at the Flamingo House (party of 7) to celebrate a girls weekend. We had so much fun. Ashley made the stay very enjoyable by providing excellent details before, after & during the stay. The house was extremely clean (something I’m picky about, specifically with beach houses.) I have recommended this home to all my friends & colleagues!

Beautiful House and property
We stayed at the Flamingo House at the end of March. The house was very roomy for the 6 Adults and 3 children (ages 7-10) in our group. The kids especially loved the pool, and the adults the hot tube. The property owner was very responsive and friendly with any of our questions. The kitchen was fully stocked with enough plates, silverware, and drinkware; along with have additional spices, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, and garbage bags! The minor negatives were although you can walk to some restaurants, we did end up taking the golf cart and a mini van the majority of the time given the kids wouldnt have walked the .75 miles there and back + accommodating beach stuff. Also the neighborhood is "up and coming" so there is a mix of nicer homes (this is a nicer home) with homes not so well up-kept; we never had an issue though. If you are looking for a rental house close to Pleasure Peir and The Strand with great amenities and a great host, this is the house for you!

Best Galveston Getaway
Absolutely cannot rave enough about how perfect this house was! The layout was ideal for hanging out with friends! The pool was perfection! The huge bedrooms with king beds and gorgeous beach decor was everything we could have hoped for! And the icing on the cake was the pristine golf cart that we used to take to brunch, cruising down the seawall, and shopping on the strand! We will definitely be repeat clients!!!

Great house for a weekend getaway
Very nice house with tons of amenities. We enjoyed the pool/spa in the backyard, as well as the outdoor grill. One of the best things was having access to the 6-seat golf cart to get around town and to the beach. Great communication with the owners. Plan to stay here again next time in Galveston!

Amazing house!
Our family of 9 stayed in the Flamingo House from 12/26/2023 to 12/29/2023. We loved it! We really enjoyed the open concept and beautiful kitchen. We spent a lot of time in the wonderful pool and spa, and had fun riding around in the golf cart. The host, Ashley, was absolutely great, very responsive and kind in all of her communications. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Perfect getaway house!
We had a great time staying at the Flamingo house! The hosts were very easy to communicate with and understanding. The house itself had everything you’d need for a stay (spices, cookware, dish ware, games) and the golf cart was a great way to get around town. Would recommend!
