I have stayed at many VRBOs and I would definitely say this is the very best from comfort, location, communication with Karla to home with everything you possibly would need. Plenty room for all the family. Highly recommend.

We were impressed with the cleanliness and amenities of this beautiful house. It was spacious and open. Our family enjoyed staying here. The walk to the beach was minimal and we drove one of our vehicles to the public access to unload the tents and chairs. Weather cooperated- beautiful weather! The only minor issue were the mosquitoes-too many!!

We had an amazing time at this property! It is clean and beautifully decorated. The beds are Very comfortable. There's every amenity you can imagine Available if you've forgotten something they are sure to have it. It has wonderful vibes and it was a great way to bring in the New Year! Only downside is that you cannot do fireworks On the beach. But I can live without!

The house and the home decor is really nice. The owner was truly one of the best hosts I've had in 10 years. She really cares about the property and your stay. I really liked the placement of the house in relation to the beach. You get a nice view of the beach from multiple angles. If you are lucky enough to stay here I highly recommend it.

Everything was perfect! The house is gorgeous, spacious, well stocked with amenities, and in a wonderful location! The owners have gone above and beyond to make this place super comfy, easy to navigate, and high class. There was even a lift for our luggage so we didn’t have to carry stuff all the stairs. And every bed is super comfortable. We loved how the house was laid out, and the views are pretty from everything room. The remote controls for the rooms lights and fans were so cool!! And the bidets were a classy touch that we all loved! Very attentive host and very kind.

if there was 10 stars i would give this house and our experience 12 stars ha. My family ( 13 ) in all had a great time. The house had anything that we forgot and was laid out so everyone had lot's of space. The owners stayed in contact to make sure we were happy and had what we needed. We will be booking another visit soon.
thanks for everything.

House is very well done. Fit and finish are very nice. We all had our own bedrooms with three of the bedrooms having their own bath. We had areas to spend time together but then it was nice to have our own space too.
The balcony porches give a great view of the Gulf. Kitchen is well stocked and has good appliances. Washer and dryer were a nice feature.
A little drive to get to Galveston but we ARE from Texas so no big deal. Is easy to find coming from either Galveston or Surfside/ Lake Jackson. Plenty of parking.
Is far enough from the road that you dont hear traffic noises. Easy walk to the beach on the community boardwalk. Did not have a chance to use the pool but it looked inviting.
Karla was easy to work with and gave me information before I could ask.
Would definitely book this house again.
Thank you Karla!

Every few years we try to get our far-flung family together. This house was PERFECT for a multi-generational group. Plenty of family living space, well-stocked kitchen, beach towels, sand toys, even a wagon to haul it all down to the beach. Our timing was perfect as the beach was empty! There wasn't a thing that we reached for in this magical house that wasn't there. The amenities are so well thought out. We also loved the beautiful balconies, which were breezy in the afternoons. A great place to get out of the sun and sit and read. Be aware you are fairly far from a major grocery store. Save time and shop before you arrive, because once you are at the house, you will not want to leave! Kudos to our hosts Karla and Chris for their excellent communications.

The owners thought of everything to make our week with our two sons and their families at their Galveston beach house memorable! Great, comfortable beds, lots of living space, clean well supplied kitchen and bathrooms and with all we needed. For our family of 6 adults and six children, ages 8 to 17, could not have been more perfect.
Super and thoughtful little touches like shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom, eye makeup remover pads, a few dishwasher cubes and laundry pods, dish soap etc were great until we could get out and buy more. It was fantastic to have a variety of spices there as well for our culinary efforts!
Awesome views from most windows and a very short walk to a private, sandy beach.....no vehicles allowed! That was a huge factor for our family.
The beach wagons, toys, beach towels and downstairs showers were so convenient for those of us that flew to Galveston from Canada. Hard to take beach chairs in a suitcase!!
Kudos and bouquets to an excellently run property! Would rate it a five for sure and hope to return again!

This is the best beach house we have ever stayed at. I can’t think of one thing we needed that they didn’t have in terms of appliances, towels for the beach, canopy and wagon to take down to the beach, and so much more! And when we had questions about where to find things, it was no trouble at all. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

Just Rent the house you won't be disappointed. It is one of the nicest most equipped houses
We loved the house it had every thing you could need to enjoy your stay. It is just steps to the beach, we took our golf cart just around the corner to drive on to the beach . The beds were comfy and the showers on the main floor were awesome for washing off the littles and bigs before going upstairs. Made our stay one to remember.

Beautiful Home!
Our family had such a wonderful time at this beach house! The home was super clean and had everything we needed (and more!) for our stay. We have vacationed in Galveston with my extended family every summer for the past 15 years, and this was the best home we have stayed at by far. So thoughtfully designed. We definitely hope to come back next year!

AMAZING!!
This is a gorgeous house with the perfect location. The owner provides many amenities, including everything needed for the perfect beach day. Even though it is a little farther from town, the beach is so much nicer in this area and is worth the extra driving time. We hope to visit again next summer and recommend others do the same!

Beautiful property for a family! Very clean!
This is a very beautiful property, that we got to enjoy on our family reunion! It’s very clean and very close to the beach! We just didn’t want to leave! The only con I would say is that it’s a bit of a drive from Galveston, and a hassle to get to the stores! Apart from that, it’s just perfect! We would love to come back here again!!

Fun time with Family
Can’t say enough good stuff about this house and the owner. We will definitely be back. They have everything you need inside the house and for outside the house. Referred this house to all my friends that like to travel to Galveston. Thank you Karla and Chris!!

Spacious home and wonderful hosts
My family and I had a great time staying at this home. The home itself was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed and could possibly want to make our stay here as great as it was. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms (a super plus), big kitchen and living area to hang out in, the 2 showers downstairs (nice touch having shampoo/conditioner/soap in both of them), the ice maker (my personnel favorite-it was so nice not to run into town for ice), the hammock upstairs (loved the breeze and view), the closeness to the beach, the peaceful neighborhood, the list goes on and on. We lacked for nothing. We did have a mechanical problem during our stay, but the hosts were right on top of things and would not rest until the problem was solve. They truly went out of their way (at their own expense and time) to make sure we were taken care of. We truly appreciated the hosts' attentiveness to details, their open and quick communication and their quickness in taking care of the problem we had. We highly recommend this property with these hosts.

Beautiful clean house short walk to the beach
We had the most amazing time at this house. I bring cleaning supplies everywhere I go and this is one of the first places I didn’t feel the need to clean when we got there. Plenty of space for the 9 of us to spread out. Lots of games for the kids to play. The beds were comfortable and lots of bed options for everyone. Wonderful beach chairs and a wagon to take the beach stuff out. The beach was a short walk from the house. The owner of the property responded immediately and was very accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about this house.

Amazing Place to Stay!
We had the best experience in this beach home. They had everything you could ask for: beach toys, umbrellas, beach chairs, inside kid toys, high chair, basic cooking essentials, even a little welcome gift. It was very clean and accommodated our family nicely. I would definitely recommend it and stay there again next time we go to Galveston.

Clean, updated, family friendly house close to the beach
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much! Overall the house was very clean and well stocked. The kitchen, bathroom, and appliances are all nice and updated. It's a very short walk to a mostly secluded beach. I would recommend this house for family getaways.

Great property
We had an amazing experience staying at this home. The host was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and helpful. The home is really well kept and had everything we needed and is just steps from the beach. It’s in a quiet neighborhood away from the touristy hustle. Plus the owners let you use all of their beach stuff which makes the whole experience so much easier. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Wonderful pre-Thanksgiving vacation
This was our first time in Galveston with our two families of five. The house was absolutely perfect to accommodate all six of our kids (ages 9-14). Everyone could spread out but also took advantage of the open-concept first floor to gather together to eat and play games. The house is in super close proximity to the beach and Karla did a fabulous job of supplying us with plenty of beach stuff so we didn’t have to pack our own from home. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Karla was to work with. She is very accommodating and a great communicator. I’m so impressed by our overall experience. Thank you for a memorable time in a fabulous home!
