W/ the lights on the Front deck listening to the waves at night is tranquil. vacant lots on 3 sides offer peace from neighbors. Cornhole, washer boards and horseshoes offer fun for everyone while at the house. Also 2 blocks to an amazing pizza place, large convenient store and liquor store makes for a great location.

Pros:
-comfortable beds
-big couch in living room
-filtered water faucet in kitchen
-games (dominos, jenga, cards) available for use
-air conditioner works well
-quiet neighborhood
-ample parking
-easy 5 minute walk to uncrowded beach
-beach toys, shade tarp, boogie boards for use
-outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach
-owner is polite and responds quickly to messages
Cons:
-No washer/dryer (which was an amenity stated in the listing). Very disappointing the home was misrepresented in this way! We are a family of 6 including 4 young children and we packed minimally assuming we could do laundry. The owner did apologize for the inaccurate listing, but it was still inconvenient.
-Some doors don’t close easily and some swing open due to the slight slant of the house.
-Limited cooking supplies in the kitchen, limited pots/pans/utensils, many are scratched and/or rusted, no oven mitts, only one small dish towel.
-The outside of the entire stove/oven gets VERY hot when in use.
-Dining room area is very small, the table is large and difficult to walk around.
-The house could be a little cleaner (under/behind beds, under toaster, etc).
Overall, this house is a good deal for the price with a great location close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. As long as you don't need laundry and aren't looking for 5 star luxury accommodations, you should be fine. The owner is friendly and quick to respond, so that is a plus.

The house was perfect! Super close to the beach, very quaint, and pet friendly! Our dogs were very welcomed and we loved the dog friendly amenities of the house, like a doggy door and big fenced in yard. This was a great weekend celebrating an engagement with my fiancé and our friends. Made memories that will last a lifetime. The house was clean, the owner was very kind and personable and quick with communication if I needed anything. Overall a place I’d recommend for a small gathering, celebration, and weekend getaway

We had a wonderful stay. Some fun decor but everything we needed and close to the beach!

Property doesn’t match pictures posted. Terrible mildew/mold smell as soon as opening the door. Floors uneven, bathroom bedroom doors sticks and don’t close. Window pane full of black mold, black mold on ceiling tiles, furniture runned down and stained, pots and pans rusty. Definitely not a place to stay with a family.

The property is in an absolute perfect location if you want to enjoy a private beach away from the crowds. It was very clean and exactly what was presented online. I plan on renting it again in the future.

The property was clean and ready for us. The proprietor was quick to respond to my questions. Property had a nice fenced in area that was common to the deck so we could let the dog out without worrying about him getting free. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach!

The house was well kept and clean, there were a variety of appliances in the kitchen available to use, all in working order and well maintained. Sean was quick to respond to questions and gave clear answers. Overall we had a great time!

We had such a wonderful time and having the beach house was great! It was a short walk to a private beach! 🏝️ Our host was very friendly and accommodating. He even allowed us to add an extra day at the last minute as the house wasn’t booked that day. We had 7 of our kids with us ranging from 5 to 21 years old and everyone had a GREAT time. If you’re looking for luxury this may not be your cup of tea, but if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, friendly host, and privacy then we highly recommend! Thanks Sean for a fantastic vacation in your home!

The house was exactly as advertised. Communication was spectacular! We had an issue with the tv, and they immediately set us with someone to fix it.
The house is close enough to the beach to listen to the waves and we loved it!

My family and furry friends enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Host was very responsive. We had everything we needed to cook and clean, sleep, shower. There is also a doggie door. Close to moody gardens, the pier and the local movie theater.

This property is very old and in need of repair. The floors throughout the house are not level causing the beds to lean. There were no ceiling fans however the AC did work fine. There were several areas with mold and mildew and there was a 1 inch gap under the front door that allowed heat and flys to enter. The kitchen was not well equipped and there was not a disposal.
I would not recommend families staying there as it was more of a guys fishing camp sort of house. The host was very responsive when contacted for additional towels and sheets.

Had a wonderful time and was super close to the beach!

The property location is great. Short walk to the beach. A canopy is provided to take to the beach which is needed for the hot Texas sun. The rooms were spacious and so were the bathrooms. The place needs a few little updates and a few things repaired but overall it was perfect for us. We had our dogs so the fencing around the yard was great. It wasn’t in the best shape but as long as your dog doesn’t jump up on it, it serves its purpose. The porch was very nice. The bed was comfortable. We only used one of the 3 room so not sure about the other beds.

We had a great stay in Galveston! The house was clean upon arrival and was super comfortable for our party of 7. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were cozy, we had plenty of hot water, and the a/c worked great! Proximity to the beach was excellent as well!
4.2
The owner was very responsive and friendly. It was a two block walk to the beach. It had the basics to sleep and eat there but the house was underwhelming. The house doesn’t seem to be maintained at all. The outdoor balcony railing was loose. The interior was outdated and after an evening rain it smelled moldy. The mattress in the back room was stained and the floors all through the house were soft and uneven.
4.2
Such a cute little property in the west side of galv. Home owner was super responsive and nice to talk to. He had games and beach toys located in the closet in the first floor my two kids really enjoyed. 10/10 I’m definitely gonna stay again and refer some friends bc how much we enjoyed our stay.
