This is a beautiful house with breathtaking views and all the amenities. The house is on the rocks, but there's plenty of sandy area in front of that when the tide is out, or the sandy beach is just a short walk away. (Even the 3 year old in our group walked over there without complaints.) It was nice and quiet, not crowded at at all. We loved the fishing, the beach, well stocked kitchen, fluffy towels, plenty of hot water, and gas grill. The wifi was steady for anyone who needed to work. We will definitely be back!

This place is beautiful and just right for our family.
Kitchen was stocked with everything you will need. Great soft beds and luxurious towels. Very clean, and the great record collection was so fun for our family. We have stayed in two other places at Treasure Island and this place was by far our favorite. There was an issue with the hot tub we were not aware of, but everything else was just as the host said it would be. We hope to be able to visit again!

Family had a blast, nice location on the water and short walk to sandy beach. We enjoyed the sounds of the gulf and the sounds of the record player and collection of unusual vinyls. The lift was useful.

Sitting on the third floor deck, feeling a cool breeze and no summer heat or humidity, and watching the sunlight and moonlight dance across the waves was an absolute delight.
We enjoyed the spacious living quarters and areas to gather. The air conditioner worked perfectly; we were very comfortable.
The "elevator" was not what we expected.
We wish there had been some food covering (foil, plastic wrap, etc.) and a better skillet.

We loved this property. The house was clean and well built. It really had everything we needed. We had a large group of 12 stay there. We rode out Tropical Storm Alberto and the house held up really well. We never lost power or water. We did very well catching Speckled Trout right in front of the house in the green light the owner has mounted on the house. We all agreed we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at On The Rocks for the Thanksgiving week. The view from the deck was amazing and we saw dolphins in the water almost every day! The lift is very helpful for heavy items and worked well. The rooms are all very comfortable as is the lounge and dining room. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. We had a great time!

We love the location! Away from the busy parts of the island. Home is beautiful inside and outside. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms clean and kitchen is amazing! Tons of space and plenty of pots/pans/utensils. Has everything you need! The views are gorgeous! We enjoyed the hot tub too! Huge plus! It’s the perfect getaway beach house. We even saw Dolphins one morning! Check in and out was seamless! We can’t wait to book another trip!

We do an annual trip to Galveston and this was our second time to stay at "On The Rocks." The property is amazing and the views are breathtaking. The property is clean and the beds are cozy. Paul is super responsive and so easy to work with. We are already looking forward to returning next year.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful beach home. Kitchen was amazing with its spectacular view of the gulf. Constant gulf breeze blowing and a short walk to the beach. While relaxing on the deck we saw a pod of dolphins. It was awesome. Did not want to leave. Memories made.

This property was exactly as advertised. The house was gorgeous. The views from the 2 decks were amazing. You can sit outside and hear the waves crashing on the rocks and then walk just a couple blocks to swim and play on the beach. Our group included children age 4 to 17, young adults, parents and grandparents. No complaints from anyone.

We had a wonderful time . Very nice beach house. Paul, our host was very prompt to answer our questions before the stay. While we were there, Deborah (property manager) was very helpful and came to make sure everything was ok. The crabbing experience was awesome. We definitely will stay there again.

We so enjoyed this beautiful beach home right on the water. We had 13 of us celebrating our Grandpa’s 80th birthday. This home was perfect for our family. It is excellently decorated and very comfortable. We spent time at the beach. The men fished in front of the beach house. Hope to visit again in the future.

The location rt on water was awesome. We spent a lot of time on the decks enjoying the view. The house was amazing. We ate alot of meals in and the kitchen was very well equipped. We enjoyed the record player and all the classic albums. Paul was great to work with. The beaches are much nicer than in Galveston. This is a house we plan on coming back to.

We celebrated our grandmas 80th birthday. It was a beautiful house- just as advertised. House location was perfect for us. It accommodated our large family perfectly. The house could’ve been cleaned better- baseboards and light fixtures have not been wiped down in a while. We did have to tape the outside door handles as the finish had come off and I cut my finger. There was no hot water in 2 of the downstairs showers. It would have been nice if there were additional extra blankets, as the weather was chilly. Overall, a great house and a great stay.

We always rent a house in this area. This house is by far my favorite, love the view and house. The lift was great for the luggage and groceries. The fenced area for the dogs was helpful. Very relaxing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We had a wonderful stay over the 2022 Christmas holiday. The first couple of days the city had shut down the water to the island, but the Owner was very up front on the issue which was beyond his control. He even offered a full refund. My family and I decided to rough it out, which is hardly roughing since the home is absolutely beautiful. The Owner’s communication was above par and the water was back on Christmas morning.
The Owner even had a small step built for my brother in law who has exterme difficulty walking.
If we make our way back to the Galveston area again, we will absolutely rent again. We had a great time and wonderful memories.

Great space. Wonderful response from the property owner! He was very accommodating. Worked well for 15 people. Walking distance from the beach! Fun fishing out front. The kitchen had everything. Beautiful views. We saw tons of dolphin and pelicans!

We had a wonderful time at the beach house. The view is incredible; the waves were much more active than we expected to see. We could see pelicans, dolphins, people fishing, paragliding and even surfing. There is a beautiful view of the night sky. We were never up to see the sunrise, which would have been a spectacular sight, but the sunset was visible from the side deck. When the door is shut it is silent, but when open you can hear the waves crashing on the rocks. The whole house is beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved staying in the bunk room. The hot tub is great for relaxing while watching the waves come in. Short walk to the sandy beach or the fishing cove down at the end of the street. Whenever we contacted our host, Paul, he was quick to reply. When we had concerns about an issue; Debbie the property manager was quick to show up and addressed our issue. The elevator isn't working so unpacking and packing took some extra effort climbing the stairs.

This was our 2nd time staying and this time for 8 nights. If only we could stay longer!!!!!! It is such a relaxing dream for our family and dogs to be there. We are already planning summer 2023!!!!!

It was a beautiful property and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. There was a large kitchen island which is a must. We did Walmart grocery pickup in Lake Jackson which was only 25ish miles away (and we had a HUGE order waiting on us. ). If you are renting a beach house make sure you are water front!! This was perfect.

Escape from the City
Most of us loved our home away from home....but we did have an eight month pregnant woman on our hands...the life was not operatable and we were told that it would be...so that was a bit of a concern....but overall you can't beat the place nor your host

Great location and beautiful house!
We had 16 adults and children and all slept very comfortably. The house is beautiful and so cozy. Being right on the water was so relaxing. Very short walk to beach area which was not crowded at all but we stayed Tuesday - Friday. Manager very responsive. We did not use the cargo lift (elevator) b/c it was locked and didn't ask if we could so if you need it make sure to ask if it is available before going.

Lift is broken. Also not an elevator as described but nothing that would keep us from returning.
This is a lovely house in an absolutely amazing location. The only thing that I would change is to have a working luggage/grocery lift. Paul was very responsive to the one small issue we had. Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely choose this house when coming to this area, Loved it!
