Perfect property very close to the beach. Clean house, well furnished with everthing you need. They even had two different styles of sunshades for the beach and plenty of beach chairs and a wagon to pull it all to the beach!

For value we give Beach Hut AAA+. A clean, well stocked, vacation rental. We are a multiple generation group who have stayed in numerous beach rentals, everything we needed was there, access to a lovely beach area was an easy walk. Our only problem was we ran out of time . We hope we can return soon and stay in Beach Hut again.

House was great super close to the beach less than 2 minute walk. Property manager was great also after I deleted the check in email on a they were quick to respond and resend the info.

The best house in the best location.

In 15 years of renting beach houses and condos, I'd have to say this is the best! Definitely the best stocked of any house I've seen. I'm so used to bringing tp, paper towels, bags, baggies, saran wrap, etc. This had everything and more - toys, puzzles, games, books, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach wagon, plenty of bath/kitchen supplies. I could have left of my packing at home. Will definitely want to stay again. And a quick minute to the beach!

Very nice close to water

Great property, location to the beach was ideal for our family! Property was just as described. The stocked items available for use were great as we forgot coffee on our way to the property. Lovely home with everything you would need for a great day at the beach.

I live in the neighborhood, and I rented the house for my friends and their family since the father is allergic to our cat.
My friends said:
"House was clean and cozy and stocked with everything you'd need for a beach vacation."
We hung out with them there, and I agree. The only opportunity for improvement that I saw would be something to play music on. The TV speakers were only adequate. I would still feel fortunate to rent it again when my friends come back.
4.8
Close to the beach, easy access to restaurants & other activities. Clean & safe neighborhood.
Owners very informative and easy to follow information to check in and stay.

The house was beautifully located in a quiet neighborhood with very friendly neighbors! It had everything you could think of that you would need and more! Talk about stocked! If you are looking for a brand new house this is not the house for you. Everything was a nice shape and had a lot of character! The view was lovely and a very short walk to the beach that you can see from both the deck and bedroom number two! We would definitely return!

We went down for the weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday and it was such an amazing stay. It was cozy and homey and relaxing--exactly what we were looking for!

Cute little house, very clean. Awsome view of ocean from 2nd bedroom. Owner was very nice and sweat when i couldnt figure out how to get the front door open(lol).. Had lots of extra essentials that i forgot.

Love the location of the house to the beach. Quiet neighborhood.
Stairs are an issue for elderly/handicapped. And, twin mattresses in bedroom were hard. Would have loved a table out on the patio
to enjoy the sea breezes.
Rich and Betty are great hosts and responded quickly to questions. They have good suggestions for shopping and restaurants .

This beach house was just what we needed for a weekend getaway. Wonderful!

We really enjoyed walking four houses down to the beach. The owner was very responsive when there was a check in issue and immediately fixed the problem.

You can not beat this location for the price. It was 4 driveways from the beach! The air conditioning unit was awesome, kept it very cool in this hot Texas week. Washer/dryer downstairs , beach chairs, toys, umbrella, and plenty of seating on the deck. Host was receptive to any questions. Local restaurants, Waterman’s was good and had relaxing views of the bay and only maybe a mile away. Pirates Beach is a quiet neighborhood . I won’t think twice about coming back.

My family stayed at the beach house for seven nights in July. While the weather was hot outside, the air conditioning inside kept us nice and cool. There was plenty of room for four adults and two teenagers.
What I particularly liked:
Loved the wrap around porch.
There were plenty of channels on the television.
The house was really clean.
Nice washer and dryer.
There was a touchpad lock on the front door so we didn’t have to worry about losing a key at the beach.
There were pots and pans for cooking.
There were basic amenities such as ziplock bags and aluminum foil in the kitchen.
There were plenty of towels for the beach and for showers.
We would stay there again.

The sand shack beach house is a comfortable 3/2 with great proximity to the beach. The neighborhood and beach environment is family friendly and provided a terrific environment for our beach vacation. The host was very accommodating and helpful, we would definitely love to return in the future.

We loved our stay. House was stocked with all of the necessities for the beach. Walked to the beach several times a day. We recommend this house a 1000 times!

Second summer to spend a week at this clean and well stocked beach house just a few steps to the beach. Family enjoyed playing in the surf, shell collecting, building sand castles, beach walking, kite flying, puzzles, games and an afternoon at Moody Gardens and at the Strand. This house is in a quiet secure and well maintained community and convenient to all Galveston attractions. Great hosts and already booked a week for summer 2024!

The place was wonderful and the location was awesome! We were a group of 4 high school friends that get together every summer. This was one of the best places we've stayed!

Everything was as described. Very short walk to the beach. House was very well stocked. My only complaint was the beds. They are very stiff. Other than that, my family and I enjoyed our stay.
4.8
Perfect location from the beach. Took less than a minute to walk to the beach. The house has extra things you might need or have forgotten. (Extra towels, sand toys, or beach chairs).

Absolutely beautiful house. Loved the location to the beach. Owner even had a big box of toys to take to the beach.
4.8
Perfect beach house for a family getaway. Comfortably sleeps 6. Lots of the amenities and little things that seem to be missing from vacation rentals these days. Away from the busier areas but an easy drive to anywhere. We will definitely look to stay here the next time we visit Galveston!
4.8
Short walk to the beach with view from the deck. Very responsive owner & thorough housekeeper. Thoughtfully stocked pantry & plenty of towels.

This was a great home! My kids enjoyed everything about it. My wife and I particularly enjoyed the quick jaunt to the beach. Made it easy for bathroom breaks and running back home for things. 10/10 would book again.
4.8
Very close to the beach
4.8
We very much enjoyed our stay. The location was great to the beach. The home was well stocked for a family including kitchen spices and utensils, beach items, garbage bags, toilet paper etc. All the things so we didn't need to worry about bringing or going out and purchasing more. Not all VRBOs keep things so well stocked, that was a very nice bonus. We had one power issue, due to a storm and not the property, but the manager was on top of responding and keeping us as up to date as they could while that happened. Home matched listing, the price was great for what we needed! If in Galveston area again we would definitely stay and recommend to others.
4.8
This is a great place for family. We cooed great seafood, did puzzles and walked the beach. The weather caused some headaches ( frozen pipes) and the owners responded by sending a very competent repair person who handled the problem.
