An observatory deck with amazing Gulf views gives this 3BR/2BA beach bungalow serious wow factor.

Christmas in Galveston
Great place and better than the pictures. The upper deck was awesome to sit and enjoy the coast. Parking was easy and close to the Strand plus on the Seawall. Shower was Hot and comfortable beds! Bunk bed mattresses could use an upgrade for older teens. Overall 5 Stars!

Nice place to stay during the 1/2 Iron Man.
We enjoyed the place, I have severe allergies to Pot ( Marijuana), unfortunately there was a lot of it in the air nearby. The hose was in good proximity to the ocean and sea wall. Theviews were nice. Very Respectfully, Michelle Landefeld

Best Weekend Ever
We stayed for a girls weekend celebrating one's 50th bday. It was perfect. The upper deck was how we started and finished each day. It was so relaxing. The house was so cute. We even enjoyed the games they provided. Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance including the beach. We are already planning on coming back in the summer.

Great Location, Great Vacation
This was the perfect place to stay near the beach with uninterrupted views of the ocean from the top balcony. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the dishes and appliances we needed, but I do wish that basic staples like condiments, salt and pepper, spices, olive oil, and other necessities were available so we didn't have to buy those things just to cook a few meals. The wifi was spotty and generally weak. But overall, we all enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back again.

There were so many ants everywhere they were even in my daughter‘s bed. I let her sleep in my bed and I tried to sleep on the couch for two nights with no sleep.

Short stay
Hello, We really love the location of the home and it was a very nice place. We do want to let you know we did see a few cockroaches in the main bathroom. One under a towel on the sink and several when turning the bathroom light on in the middle of the night. Also the light in the master bedroom appeared to be off but it turned on in the middle of the night. Just a couple of concerns we thought you should know about.

Great Galveston Location
The house had a good view of the water and was in town. If you are a picky pillow person you should bring your own as these were lumpy. House was clean and well furnished. We would definitely stay again!

Weekend Getaway
Very pleasant stay! This home was very comfy and felt like vacation. Very close to the beach and a very nice balcony to view the water and people watch! I do wish there were extra blankets or directions on how to use the AC. Bright side though is the AC works great!! Also better instructions on how to use the front door code. But other than that, we will absolutely book this home to stay in again!

A week at the beach 🏖️
We booked this home in January for a surprise for our adult sons. I had mixed feelings about the house until I arrived! Exactly as described- less than a 1 minute walk to the beach and an amazing view! We walked the Seawall every day! It was perfect for our family getaway- even if Alberto tried to make his entrance up the Seawall! WiFi was spotty. Possibly because of the weather. Overall, great stay!
