Cute home, just a short walk to the beach. Beautiful views of the ocean.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property we will keep returning, it’s completely comfortable, it has awesome access to the beach. But really it’s the minor details for me, like the sunscreen and bug away wipes that were played out. They really go all out to ensure it feels like home.

This is our third time staying here- we love the location and ocean view as well as proximity to shopping, Walmart, the Strand, etc. Loved the recent renovations including stove, best VRBO beds we ever had! Missed the washer/dryer though! Might want to tell cleaning company not to water down dish detergent and to add a few more pods/ trash bags- minor suggestions! Also- please consider getting new gas grill- the one u have definitely has seen better days! Overall highly recommend!

This is a superb rental! Having discovered this wonderful second row home two years ago, my husband and our dog recently returned for several nights. The new owner has updated a few things which made this great property even better: Most appreciated was a secure gate from the deck to the stairs -- we didn't have to worry about our pup! Also, major work has been done taking out the murphy bed, closing in a wall, extending the kitchen area, which makes better use of the space. We did contact Raye briefly regarding an issue with the microwave, and she was so responsive.Travis, the manager, was on it immediately. Communication with both of them was basically instantaneous and top notch. Just a couple of things we could have used during our stay -- a cutting board, luggage racks, a broiler pan. Also, in the information folder, we could have used a number to call when we lost electricity during a storm. Overall, the home is spectacular. We love the water view from the
terrific, large deck (really fun deck chairs), all the windows, and you just can't beat the proximity to the water! Quiet, just the surf sounds, and scent of oleander wafting in. Nice neighbors on this street, too, who live there full time. We highly recommend this home, and will be back!

I have stayed at this property in the past. I really enjoy it. The view and a 5 min walk to beach is great.

We loved being so close to the beach in our very well appointed home away from home. It seemed our hosts thought of everything to make our stay wonderful. Little touches like Christmas coffee mugs did not go unnoticed. I can’t wait to come back. Thank you.

This was our second time at this beach house, and it was just as great as the first! Plenty of space for our 2 families and all the supplies we needed. Comfortable and clean! The best part; being two minutes from the beach which was pretty empty and relaxing! We will be back again for sure! Communication with owner was also great! Thank you!

Perfect beach house for a long weekend family trip! Nice kitchen for cooking, deck with chairs for hanging out and meals, and close to the beach. Clean and comfortable with plenty of room!

Every single thing about this property is as advertised, less than 40 yards to the beach if you walk around the other properties. Great partial view from the back deck. This leads us to the biggest issue with this property by far and the reason it would take this property from a five star rating to a three star. Some of the decking boards are literally disconnected. If you were to step on them, they would shoot up like a rake where they are attached on one side and not the other. The nails and screws in the deck are rusted through and poking out everywhere. You cannot walk on this deck in bare feet . The wood planks are splintering, and when you go to the far right side of the deck you can feel it move. It is legitimately terrifying. The property manager needs to replace this deck immediately. It is not safe and I would not stay here again because of this.
Other then that it’s clean and you can tell they are doing a decent job keeping up with the property.
The deck is legitimately not safe.

Cannot say enough good things about this beach house! The location is great( you can see the ocean from the deck, and about a 3 min walk to beach) the house/ decor is perfect! Nice and cozy. We stayed with 4 adults and a 4 year old and it was perfect for us! 5 min drive to great restaurants in Jamaica beach, and about a 8 min drive to Galveston island brewing. We we’re missing a couple of things, messaged them and had them dropped off in a matter of minutes! Great customer service! Only regret we have, is even though they told us about all the fun things in the garage, we didn’t go in until we were packing to leave. So many cool things in there to use!! We already made plans for this to be an annual family getaway! Book this place! You won’t regret it!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. There was a heavy fog our entire stay so it was an interesting time at the beach. It was a very short distance to the beach which was really nice.

Due to immediate family in the hospital, i needed to secure a place that could host family and my dog. The host responded immediately with an extended stay as the VRBO App does not allow you to book same day without a response....so this 5 star is about the immediate response and the accuracy of the location. It worked perfectly for our needs. thank you team!

A great experience. Very nice host and got me info I asked for. Very nice guy.

The location is 2 min walk to beach and you can see it from the awesome Patio. Beach very clean. We all enjoyed jumping waves. It is about 15 min to grocery store and 20-30 min from attractions in Galveston. Rental was clean. There was 5 adults and 3 kids and plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Kitchen small but well stocked, room enough for two to cook. Stove top has one large burner and 2 small. Not designed to cook a lot of big meals. We did a lot non cook meals on the patio. The Patio is awesome. Seemed like New beds, 2 were Ikea style and low to ground. They had a lot of bathroom towels. The outdoor shower was wonderful, hate getting the floors all sandy so it was perfect. The host was great. Had no issues.

This was our second visit to Cactus Flower and once again we really enjoyed it. The house is nicely furnished, a short walk to a quiet beach (no vehicles), and a deck (partially covered) to relax on. It's far enough away from the seawall congestion to be quiet and yet is just a short drive to Seawall restaurants (Mario's Italian or Gumbo Diner) or The Strand (Willie G's),
The owner are great to work with, with clear, prompt communications.
We look forward to another visit.

We loved the view (great with big windows and from the deck)and closeness of the beach (1-2 minutes walk). Living space hood for small groups could be crowded for larger groups.
I feel that if the management stepped up on things like providing better quality toiletries (shampoo,soaps and toilet paper) it would make it more pleasant for guest. Some other things that need attention are having a smoke detector, clean bedding, and fix loose boards on deck. Also I never received any emails on how to get in the house or expectations while we stayed there and for checking out.

Beds were a little strange but overall a good stayed

Great location with beach views and we were just steps away from the beach. Property was modernized, very comfortable, and spacious. They had plenty of amenities (just bring your own shampoo and bath soap like they state).. They have beach toys and kayaks, but we didn’t use them. They even have a foot wash at the bottom of the stairs which was nice. Lots of deck space too. I would highly recommend this rental property.

A very clean houses with lots of windows and views. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back. The only thing that needs improved are the beds that need replaced.

Everything was fine except that the beds are too low. Hard to get in and out of. Not able to sit on them which was especially a problem in the bedroom with no chair which also needs a chest of drawers.

Short Getaway
Had a great time with our daughter and Grand Kids. Very good Location. Would definitely rent again.

Great Location
Great location and ocean views. Quiet neighborhood, just outside of the hustle of Galveston. The house had everything you needed for the beach. Our son even tried out the ocean kayak.
Just a tip to the owner, the deck is in need of repairs. Boards are starting to come up and the railing is loose.
Thank you so much for letting us stay.

Bermuda Beach, Galveston
Excellent experience. Beach was private, plenty of space for 2 adults, 4 kids. Plenty of amenities to keep us comfortable, fed and clean. We cooked most meals and used their Beach supplies. Beds were both a little low and made lots of noise, but we would definitely return to this house!

So enjoyed it!
We really loved our time here! It was a perfect location, the deck was lovely, and it had what we needed!!! There are a few little things that could be attended to (loose deck boards, stove, and flickering kitchen light), but nothing that would hinder your stay! We highly recommend this location, and plan to be back again!
