Was a perfect little get away with my daughter & granddaughter. Nice grocery store next door & easy walk to private beach. I haven’t had a host that responds so fast & makes check in very easy. Oh.. & my granddaughter loved the arcade game so much she asked for it for Christmas 😂

We wanted to slow down after the busy holidays and this property was perfect. It was clean, comfortable beds, and full kitchen. The beach was visible and only 50 yards away, and with no cars on the beach it was a very peaceful place to walk along. We appreciated the host allowing use of their beach chairs and other items. It was a great stay and highly recommend!

Nice and updated condo. Able to park right by entry. The view of the beach was great and very easy walk to the beach. The evenings were colder and the fireplace was great! We like the puzzles and games as well. There are a few stairs but very manageable. Thanks!

We go to Galveston every fall for a family vacation, and this is our new favorite spot! Our kids LOVED all of the fun extras at this house, and I loved all of the beach toys/wagon that were ready to go for us. It made packing so much easier! The house was adorable, clean, and perfect walking distance to the beach. We would love to come back next year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

We came to Galveston to celebrate our daughters birthday! The house is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive. The location is perfect. The beach wasn’t crowded and just close enough to go into Galveston for food/entertainment without all the hustle and bustle. Thank you for a great weekend at the beach!

The home was awesome. 3 minute walk to the beach and supplied all of the beach necessities! Having the board/card games was a very nice touch. All in all if we head back to Galveston again we will definitely be staying here. Thank you so much.

This house was perfect for our girls trip! We had 6 adults and there was plenty of room for us all. Beds were comfortable (even with grown adults on the bunch beds), house was very clean, AC was amazing in the heat/humidity, and a very short trek to the beach — literally a 2 minute walk! Plenty of beach chairs, towels, and toys. Very few others on the beach so no matter what time or area we went to, there was plenty of space! Loved staying here and would love to return in the future.

We loved staying at this property! It was an easy walk to the beach and they had all of the best beach toys already stocked in the wagon! I barely had to pack anything for the beach. The kids loved the pool table and we had a lovely movie night together as a family in the beautiful upstairs living room. Perfect, kids rated it a 10!

This was our first experience staying with a Vrbo. Layne and Kallie's description of their place was spot on. While searching for a destination for our families first trip to the ocean, I kept coming back to this property. Having four children (ages 18, 15, 11, and 5) with us, I new it was important to have safe and easy access to the beach. The walk to the beach took only a few minutes. We were so thankful for the shed of beach supplies. We were able to take the wagon of sand toys and chairs to the beach with us and we didn't need to worry about packing them with us from Nebraska. The private beach was also a huge plus! The townhouse was the perfect distance from the ocean- not too close to worry about our youngest, and not too far away where we couldn't see or hear it! It was extremely important to find a place that we could wake up, walk out on the balcony and hear the ocean waves. The large windows and two balconies provided outstanding views of the gorgeous ocean. This townhouse location was a little drive from the Seawall-which ended up being perfect! The area felt safe and private but not too far to go back and forth a couple times a day. Besides the view, cleanliness, and safe feeling our children loved the game table, board games, and puzzles! Everything about this property was perfect! We will definitely stay here again!

Overall, it’s an amazing experience at Galveston and this property have added color to it. It’s very welcoming and awesome place to stay. It has great view to the Gulf and walkable to the beach. Kids had plenty of games to play! Great kitchen and well maintained property. I should say, cleanliness is at the top notch for this property. Besides all this, we accidentally left iWatch and the property manager helped us to ship it. This tells all about the owners! I highly recommend this place!!

The pictures for this house don't do it justice, this place is immaculate, inviting, like right out of a magazine, absolutely stunning., within walking distance to the beach, a recovering cancer patient, and a recovering back surgery patient could walk there with no issues. From the balconies you can watch the sunrise on the beach, plenty of activities to do in the home, games, books, tvs all u could ever need. Very nice area of galveston. Far enough away from riff raff to have a nice quiet stay and close enough to get anywhere u wanna go. We had a stellar vacation and will be back again.

Beautiful condo with everything a small family needs. Close to private access beach (no vehicles allowed on beach!). Grocery store with everything next door. Restaurant next door if you don’t want to cook. No issues and owners were great. This is our 3rd time staying at the property and we look forward to number 4 soon!

My family loved staying at this lovely, family-friendly property. Both of my children loved the amenities perfect for kiddos: mini foosball/pool table, arcade, and selection of board games and puzzles. The beach is a short walk away (bring bug spray) and the property has chairs, a wagon, and plenty of sand toys. The indoor space is nice and relaxing. We had a great time!

A beautiful location with the beach a 2 min walk and the coolest little grocery store nearby for anything you may need. The condo itself is wonderfully updated, comfortable and with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of games. The real surprise is the arcade game. Our 8 year old loved it. We will most definitely stay here again.
