Pleasant Stay at Havana House
We spent a week at Havana House and very much enjoyed our stay. The view of the ocean was very nice and we were able to walk on the beach each morning. The house was very comfortable and as advertised. The host was very responsive. We hope to enjoy the house again soon.

A sweet oasis
The place is clean and has all you need to relax at the beach, even down to hats to protect you from the sun. It is accesible to everything, just a few minutes away from the Seawall, fishing pier, Pleasure Pier, and all the other attractions Galveston has to offer while also serving as A quiet place to relax, just a few steps away from the water.

The property was amazing. It had a great view, was very clean and nicely maintained. Bermuda beach is great and not too crowded. The owner was easy to communicate with and provided very useful information prior to our arrival. I highly recommend this rental.

Great location and access to the beach! The only issues were having keys instead of code lock and having to keep track of the keys as well as the jets in tub not working. Lots of beach accessories and kitchen well stocked. Quick responses when contacting the owner.

Cute beach house
Cute house with a great view of the beach. Nice quiet neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware. The upstairs deck was the best part. We really enjoyed sitting out there and watching the waves roll in.

Relaxing steps from the beach
Second stay for us and as great as the first one. Hits all the important notes for us: per friendly, steps from the beach, huge deck with great views, super clean, kitchen is well appointed, lots of hot water, multiple showers downstairs to rinse off after beach, extra pillows in closets, great instructions for entering property, wifi, etc., lots of towels and great washer dryer. And the owner Lisa is very responsive, she helped us out with an issue immediately when we contacted her. Highly recommend.

Amazing family place steps from the beach
We’ve stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this one, by far, was the best equipped! Stocked kitchen with everything you’d need and more. Ice cold AC. Super comfortable beds, bedding and towels. Watch your family at the beach right from the covered patio! No complaints. We’ll be booking again next year for longer :-)

Thankful
We had a great time with family over the weekend at Havana House...it was so relaxing on the beautiful patio. My only negatives were mold in the coffee pot as it had not been cleaned, the rugs in the living room and kitchen are in need of shampooing and the jets in the master en suite bathroom tub need cleaning. All in all a nice property.

Great location
The house was in a great location. It is not right on the beach but near enough. There was a nice beach view from the living room and master bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfy. Lots of beach toys in the garage. There were bikes but they needed some TLC. The host was quick to respond to us. We had a great time here.

Fantastic home with an exceptional view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable and well stocked. The view from the patio cannot be beat. The neighborhood is nice, and obviously very dog friendly, which was a huge plus for us. The beach is so simple to get to, and it's very clean and very well maintained. We have stayed at many beach houses in and around the Galveston area over the past 9 years, and this is definitely in my top 3 favorites of all time. Thank you so much for having us. I hope we can come back real soon!
