I loved this house. A really big porch with lots of outside furniture to sit on was perfect for our group of 9. The decor in the house was absolutely lovely and the beds were so comfy! The only thing I would suggest is the owners pave the area under the house as it rained in the night and was pretty wet and messy the next day.

Loved the house. Really no complaints outside of it is 30 minutes away from Galveston so I wouldn't stay here if you plan to go to the city a lot. But if you are looking for a great house on the beach, you have found a great choice!

We had such a wonderful time! The place was spotless and so bright and happy. So convenient to the beach. We absolutely will return and I have already recommended this beautiful home to 3 different friends.

We chose the Gulf Goddess because our group was a combined four families and the need for four Master Bedrooms, room for the kids and a beachfront location limited out choices. Our first impression upon arrival at the Gulf Goddess was that the parking/storage area underneath the home was sand. It had a small outdoor shower and rusting gas grill which we couldn't get to work. There was no place to store they typical beach items like chairs, canopies, fishing equipment, floats, etc. So we just had to dump it all in the sand and hope that it would be safe and not blow away or be stolen. While the homes behind ours used the pathway under the home as a public route to the beach, none of our stuff was molested during our stay. It just stayed wet and sandy for the week which was annoying. There is no elevator, which would have been nice for the grandparents. The outdoor covered deck overlooking the beach was marvelous and spacious, but the wicker couch provided was damaged and sagging. There were enough other chairs to make do for our group. The four Master suites were very comfortable for the adults and the bunk room served for the kids. There is a small living area for kids upstairs to hang out and decent seating for the adults in the main living room. The kitchen and island were on the small side and having more than 2 people cooking was a challenge. Wifi was weak and we had multiple people who needed access for work, so it was not ideal but we managed. Management advised us to bring our own propane tank for the outdoor grill under the home. We did, but whoever had been there before us left a full tank and we couldn't get it to work. Plus the grill was rusted and unclean, and we couldn't get it to work - so that was a bust. There is parking enough for 4-5 cars on site, but it's tight. Offsite parking is available for overflow not too far away. There is a convenience store across the road, which is either a long walk or very short golf cart drive away which we used every day for ice and such. We enjoyed our week together and the home was very nice and comfortable once you get inside. Access to the beach was right there, so no golf cart was needed. Other than the few negative items mentioned, we thoroughly enjoyed our week and would recommend the home for a multi couple, multi family retreat. If those few items are addressed, it would go from a 4 to a 5 star rental.

The Gulf Goddess is a beautiful home.

The large porch overlooking the beach was perfect to watch grandkids playing without having to leave the house. Even the rinse stations for little and big feet were perfect.

The property is beautiful and accommodated my family of 14 with ease! It was a perfect November weekend!

Management company had zero customer service skills. Did not communicate as promised. Would not recommend this rental for the amount charged. Very disappointed.

My family stayed here for a week, all but 1 are over 30 and it was the perfect house and location to just chill for the week. It's in a smaller part of galveston so it was calm and not alot of people in the area. The house was perfect with all the large beds and plenty of room around the house for everyone to be comfortable either together or spread out. We actually liked the couches so much we googled them! The only thing we wished it had was a lift to bring up all the groceries and luggage so we weren't exhausted the first night. Also the grill under the house appears to have seen a few floods so we didnt touch it but the kitchen was nice enough we had no issue using the oven instead.

Loved our stay here! Well decorated, very relaxing, and close to the beach.

The Gulf Goddess exceeded our expectations! It has 4 beautiful bedrooms with a private bath, and a bunk room for the children. We enjoyed the water and the deck.

This is a wonderful house; very close to the beach and lots of room for every age range. We had to try really hard to find anything that was negative, and the only thing that we could find was the dryer door. It opens in the wrong direction. Otherwise, a perfect place. We'll be back.

Nice week. Great!

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was newly built and beautiful! We enjoyed the deck the most... very spacious with tons of seating. The home was farther down the beach than we normally go, but there was a convenience store just across the street which was extremely convenient.

The home was spotless. Everything was perfect.
