About this house rental

This charming beach side cottage sits on a lot just 1/2 a block from the beach. I have had the great fortune to have owned the house for the past 30 years. We have always walked to the beach, never have taken a car. We are that close. Our street actually dead ends at the beach. So it feels very private and great for kids because there is very little traffic and no streets to cross to get to the water. We are in the Palm Beach Subdivision which is one of the Islands older beach side communities. There are many beautiful new homes in our sub division but doted through out are the original beach cottages built in the 1960's with lots of Old Galveston charm. We are one of those original cottages. We are on the west end of the island only 8 miles from the main drag. Only a 10 minute ride to all the restaurants and attractions but far enough away to enjoy a quiet retreat with beautiful (not so crowded) beaches. The house has a large front balcony with a view of the water which provides lots of outdoor space for sun bathing, star gazing, and of course the ocean view. There is always plenty of shade and a cool breeze on the first level perfect for outdoor barbecues and just relaxing. This house is a two bedroom, one bath. But there is also a downstairs shower with hot and cold water. Upstairs you'll find a kitchen with plenty of room, lots of seating and a view of the water. A spacious spot for everyone to hang out. And high ceilings make the rooms feel even larger. The kitchen has french doors that open on to the front balcony. Of course the kitchen is fully furnished with everything you will need for your family get away. The two bedrooms each have a queen size bed and the large living room has 3 day beds for extra quests. This house comfortably accommodates 2 couples and 3 or 4 children. Sheets and towels are included .We are pet friendly and only a $25.00 fee for each pet per stay. You will enjoy this house. It is very comfortable. It has character and charm and best of all it is close to the water. We would love for you to stay.

Elaine is very sweet and communication was excellent with her. The house is so cute with easy access to the beach. A few minor leaks when it rained but it was tolerable.

Our trip went off without any issues. We all had a wonderful time and the sad part was simply having to leave. The beach was right there! It was clean and well kept. Mostly everything we needed was there for us. This trip was a very rewarding experience.

Enjoyed the location to the beach, very easy access. Property manager was very accommodating on check-in and checkout. Took a few hours for the place to cool down, but once it cooled down the temperature remained very comfortable.

If you remember Galveston beach houses from your childhood then this one fits the bill. Plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. It’s charming, comfortable and close to the beach. The microwave didn’t work but that was our only complaint.

Great location by the beach within walking distance. The place was clean and tidy. A great place for a couple and 2 small dogs. Only thing would say is the A.C. could not keep up during the day, so it was little warm. Had to have fans and standing fans going. Overall it was a wonderful stay. We would atay again.

Palm Beach reminds me of a quaint B&B in England. It's a darling cabin with fantastic character. I loved that there was so much to look at in the house and it was well stocked. I love antiques so it was a wonderful surprise to see all the fun collectables on display. The lot next door offered several games of croquet and frisby. There was a nice view of the beach from the deck which was only steps away. The owner is super friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time.

We had such a wonderful time staying here! It was so cozy and charming. Everything was comfortable and tidy. The home has everything you need. Elaine was so helpful and friendly. The location is perfect, a quick walk down a quiet dead end street to a clean, beautiful beach. The neighborhood was so quiet, perfect for a family. We have three young kids and it was easy to walk back and forth from the beach with them. We felt right at home. Can’t wait to go back!

It was very close to the beach. The problems were you don't find out until you book it that there are no bed sheets or towels of any kind. The WiFi didn't work the whole time. I sent a text to the host on the first day, no response. Texted again on the second day. She finally responded on the third that morning. There is hardly any cell service (AT&T) in the house. Wifi would have been great. The biggest problem was that we found black mold all over the window shades and window sills. We discovered this on the final day as we were packing up to leave and my nephew slept on the twin bed next to it the last night.

It was lovely to be so close to the beach. We came and went all throughout the day. There was so much ocean life to be able to see. The house was easy to get to. It was nice to be able to shower off outside and not track sand into the house from the beach. It was also nice to have a few things to take to the beach. It would have been nice to have sheets and towels at the house. We had 6 people in one vehicle, so having bedding for 5 beds and towels took up a lot of extra room. There were plenty of blankets, but I’m unsure if they get washed each time. I understand that we will see bugs every now and then, but we did see a big roach the first day we came in. We kept our clothes off the floor. Overall, we were happy with our stay and when we had questions for the owner, they answered.

This house was great for our family of eight. We had plenty of room in the house and we loved the *very short* walk to the beach. There were not many people on that area of the beach so we found awesome shells and ocean life. I would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this beach house. We only had a couple of minor complaints which were that there was no dishwasher and the shower was really small, although we were not terribly bothered by either. The kitchen is big and great for a large group. The location is only a couple minute walk to the beach, and the day beds were perfect for a fairly large group. We would definitely stay here again!

This property has great potential. The layout and location are wonderful. The beds are okay. The kitchen has a good supply of dishes and utensils. The problem with this rental is lack of cleanliness. The smell of urine from the bathroom was overwhelming and permeated the master bedroom and living room until I picked up rugs and mopped an d tried to disinfect. The dust and animal hair under furniture and in corners was a bad trigger for my allergies. I vacuumed some but did not feel it was my responsibility. I was charged a cleaning fee and did not get clean. I can do campy the roofing nails visible on every ceiling, the rough deck you can’t walk in without shoes but unclean is a disgrace. We left the house better than we found it.

Love the views of the gulf and the quick walk to the sand!!! Fully equipped kitchen. The views and the kitchen were important since we spent a lot of time inside due to a slow moving tropical storm during our stay. Elaine was easy to communicate with and was very helpful when we asked to extend our stay due to flooding in Houston. This will be the first place I look for next trip!!

The place was a lovely location and close to beach. Shower ridiculously small. Place needed a good deep cleaning. A/C woefully inadequate. House unlivable due to heat during the day. Apparently poorly insulated. Deck needed maintenance. A lot of house needs maintenance. Internet and TV worked great. NIce views from deck. Heat in house during day was not acceptable and negated everything else.
