This house was perfect and exactly as described. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The house was well equipped with everything you could need and we appreciated the extra touches like the hampers in all bedrooms, ice maker, games, books, and kitchen supplies. Our family included 13 of us over 4 generations and we never felt crowded. We could all spend time together or have room to spread out and enjoy quiet time. The beach was only a few minutes away. We would definitely recommend to other families and would stay again.

This is the third time and we love it

We had 3 families share this awesome house. Plenty of room and great location!

We loved the home. Would stay again. Great space, fun retro cool furniture. Beds comfortable. We are were able to get our boat around from the Yacht Basin. Pier fishing was great at night. Couldn't say enough. Great home. Thank you.

The property was great for my father's 80th birthday. The house is well decorated and spacious. The beds were very comfortable which I appreciate! We played yard games, hung out in the water, BBQ'd on the back patio and played lots of ping pong! I have already recommended the property to other family memebers!

Great!

Great space for 80 year old parents and adult children!

The house is spacious and beautiful. It is surrounded with covered patio and deck and had great outdoor furniture. Fun dock for the SUP and kayak. We gathered with our entire family and loved our time at the house.

This property provided the perfect weekend getaway for our multigenerational family. The photos and description are quite accurate. Upon arriving, it was very clean and at the perfect temperature. The beds were comfortable. The entire place was spacious for our group of 14, and the simplistic, modern decor was a welcomed change from the typical nautical/seashell decor of most Galveston rentals. The place is fully stocked with gear for activities for the whole family: kayak, paddle boards, bicycles, fishing gear, life vests, beach chairs and toys. The kids had a blast fishing on the private pier, playing ping pong and playing kickball in the side yard which has an awesome artificial turf. Bonus was the front row fireworks display we got from Moody Gardens on Saturday night . The only minor negatives were: there were no large sized frying pans (just a couple of small ones) which made cooking for a large group a little difficult; there were no scissors or kitchen shears (only a really old rusted pair); and communication was lacking- after booking the property and writing an introduction message to the property manager/owner, I never received any kind of message back as I usually do when booking properties. Then on the day of check-in, which is stated to be at 4pm, I still had no notification of how to access the property. I finally sent a message via VRBO at 3:30pm which got no response by the 4pm check-in time. I finally located a phone # of the property manager/owner and left a voicemail just after 5pm. I never got a call back, but I finally got a message via VRBO about 5:30pm with the instructions on how to access the property. Thankfully we weren’t standing at the door at 4pm with no way to get in, but had we been, this would have been all the more frustrating; I’ve never had to reach out to the property manager/owner the day of/post check-in time to gain access to a fully paid rental. Nonetheless, I still would recommend this property for all that it has to offer.

We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the water toys that were available! Beautiful place to vacation!

We rented this property for a family vacation and it was perfect! The pictures online were very accurate. There was plenty of space for all 17 of us without ever feeling crowded. The outside space was just as amazing. My boys spent the majority of their time on the pier fishing and we all spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor space. The property was very clean and well stocked. Would definitely choose this property again!

My family rented this house to be together with my parents to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary! The house was perfect! 14 adults and 2 toddlers and we absolutely loved everything about this property! It is everything it claims to be and more! Highly recommend staying here!!

The home is beautiful, and well appointed. The layout is great and was perfect for our multi generational trip. However, once there we encounter two problems, one small and one major. There are no instruction for things like how to get the TVs and ice maker to work. These were small problems and could have easily been resolved. The big problem was there were roaches in the kitchen and upstairs living room. They we pretty bad in the kitchen. The biggest problem was that after calling twice and messaging the host twice, there was no response, no return phone call and message response. The TV and ice maker issue could have been handle with a call or message with instructions and the roach issue could have been handle while we were out. If those issues are taken care of and the communication improve, I would stay at Cove House again.

This house was perfect for a multi generation get together. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Plenty of seating inside and out. The amenities; especially the outdoor toys ( kayak, surf boards, etc) were a big hit. House was clean and well supplied. The view was very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying here and we would choose it again! Perfect location, spacious home, beautiful setting and plenty of everything that we needed.

PROS: Very nice an well maintained property in a very convenient neighborhood. We were close store activities, grocery stores and easy directions for family to get to. Plenty of dish ware and cooking items to cook on a daily basis. We also made use of the kayak, ping pong table and games. My family loved the fishing! This was a top priority for them and it didn't fail. We were all able to hang out in the same location, while fishing, while playing, while eating...worked out perfectly! Neighbors were also super nice from what I can see. CONS (more like minor inconveniences): The ROKU downstairs did not work so had to use my phone to cast the games we were watching. Not enough parking and it rained so the extra parking down the street was flooded and muddy. Flies...beware of them. Bring something to control them. Grill was dirty. Overall great stay. We've been doing this family trip for 9 years now and this is probably the best house we've stayed in.

We enjoyed our stay! The property had lots of options for kids all ages and the view was great. Definitely recommend this place.

Great house! Accurate description. Clean and had everything needed.

This house was just as listed, with an added bonus of beautiful interesting artwork on the walls. It was exceptionally clean and well formatted for our family of six adults and two children. This house would also have accommodated another family of four, who unfortunately couldn’t be with us. I didn’t realize that the bottom level actually has two queen bunkbeds that could sleep eight if needed. We fished off the dock, ate dinner every night on the outside dining deck and the ping pong players had fun. We really enjoyed the very large tv in the main living area. So many rentals have smaller TVs and this was a huge tv- very nice. Lots of seating in the living area was great. We liked that there was an ice maker and extra freezer for drinks,etc. About the only negative I could mention was that the kitchen might have more serving bowls or at least another larger salad bowl. It did have a generous amount of glassware , dishes and silverware. My entire family liked the quiet “tucked away” feeling of this location. After a very hot day doing island activities we enjoyed coming back to a cool quiet retreat where we could spread out and relax. This is a great multi family rental or a fabulous place for several couples to rent. Also, it has a great library of books that I so wished I could take advantage of! Maybe next time! Highly recommended!

We loved this house so much! It’s very beautiful and modern. The backyard goes right out onto the dock with a fishing pier that has tons of fish and a loading dock where we swam and used the kayak and paddle boards from the garage. Lots of bikes in garage. Lots of books. Lots of games. Communication with owner was quick and easy. Amazing owner. Amazing house.

The house was even better in person! So much room for everyone! We had a great time!

Beautiful home, highly recommend!

We finally found the perfect size place for our family! 4 families of all ages! So much space for everyone to spread out and a great location!

I have never in my life seen my step dad as happy as he was when he walked in the house. We hadn't even finished unpacking the car when he picked up a ping pong paddle and asked who wanted to play. My niece stayed up late fishing with her NoiNoi. There was enough room and space to accommodate our entire family with plenty of room leftover. Never felt claustrophobic once

Property was better than advertised. Very well appointed and great use of space. We had family from 8 yrs old to 81 yrs old. Something for everyone. Neighbors are great too.

We went for a friends mother/daughter getaway. The home was perfect! Beautiful, clean, spacious, and well equipped with things to do. The giant deck and grassy areas were so fun and we spent tons of time playing in the bat. We really couldn’t have had a better trip!

We take a family vacation to Galveston every year to kick off the summer. This house was the best house we’ve stayed in so far. Plenty of room for 10 adults and 8 kids. The kitchen was open and had plenty of space for us to have meals together and fellowship. The dock was great for fishing , which all the husbands love to do. The house isn’t for from anything. Great location. We definitely plan on coming back to this house next year abs staying longer.

We had a fairly large group and the accommodations were perfect. Plenty of space for everyone along with necessities such as bedding & towels & kitchen utensils. Extra bonus was the precious coffee shop in biking distance. We will definitely book this spot again!

This house is beautiful, and there’s so much fun things to do....we had a blast !

The House Was Huge , Plenty Of Activity’s For The Kids & All Stores & The Beach Were Close

The property was amazing! The decors and amenities of this rental were absolutely outstanding. The fishing was great. We fished at night under the bright dock light. The beach was a short drive away as well as the grocery stores. Everything was within 10-15 mins away. I highly recommend this property to everyone.
