Wonderful home! Had everything we needed and some fun beach bonus items. It was easy getting to the beach, which has limited access and wasn't crowded at all!

We had an absolutely fantastic time and Melissa communicated incredibly well, even allowing us an early check-in. The outdoor shower was a HUGE help to get sand off and not feel gross for the rest of the day.

Went to Galveston for our daughters cheer camp. Stayed in the Salty Starfish. Property was as advertised. It was nice and clean and we had a good time spending a long weekend in Galveston. We will rent again through Melissa.

We were in Dallas for a few days, and decided to make an overnight detour in Galveston to see the beach before heading home. We found this property, and absolutely loved it. We wished we could have extended our stay. We'll have to plan another trip to stay longer.

Nice stay for your family, easy access to beach

This place is great! It is definitely the cleanest VRBO property we have stayed in. The beds were comfy, even the bunks! My 6ft. teenager had no complaints on the bottom bunk. The beach was a five minute walk away. The decor was charming and cozy. We appreciated the gas grill and charcoal grill! The wagon was nice to wheel to the beach. It was a wonderful stay!

We had a blast at the beach house. It was just a short walk down the road to the beach which was not busy. I would say about 3 min walk maybe. Beach area was clean. Great little get away house.
5.0
This house was adorable. Very well decorated. Super cute from the moment you walk in. Plenty of towels provided in the bathrooms. Most of the essentials needed in the kitchen. The kitchen is on the small side with minimal cabinet space, so they did a good job of deciding what to supply. I would recommend some cleaning supplies and wash cloths for the bathrooms. There is a makeup wash cloth provided, but would be nice to have extra. We left a cleaner and spices purchased.
There were beach chairs, cart and umbrella for the beach which were wonderful to have and use during our stay.

Beautiful home walking distance to Palm Beach. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The patio area is very nice with a picnic table, TV, cornhole, hammock, lounge chairs, etc. Quick drive to downtown Galveston area. The owner was very nice and accomodating!

This was the perfect quiet location!

Loved the location of the house and feelings of privacy of the beach. It was a quiet and family friendly area. We loved listening to the ocean from the deck and being able to walk a short distance to get to the beach. Melissa communicated very quickly whenever I had a question. We plan to return for another trip!

We so enjoyed our trip to Galveston. The home was so wonderful in so many ways. I just loved the decor, cozy and coastal. Location was so great, a short walk to the beach which we enjoyed and was so easy with the wagon provided (toys and boogie boards and chairs to boot)! My girls rode the bikes to the beach daily as well as up and down the road in front of the house. My hubby did have to get some grease for the chains but got em working. We played cornhole everyday while kids napped after beach day! We loved having that!
The home, it was so great to have 2 bathrooms, especially traveling with small children and being able to have the tub! My kids loved their bunk beds! We were so exhausted after our adventurous days we watched tv for a bit on the comfy couches and then the beds were heavenly. Softest blankets, my kids wanted to take them home!! Washer and dryer were great as well as everything provided in the pantry.
I would return in a heartbeat as well as recommend this home to friends and family. Thanks for everything! Memories to cherish for a lifetime!
