Loved being right on the beach! Our family ages 4yrs to 85 loved this house. Everything was easy to get to , plenty of toys , kitchen stocked nice! Our only problem was lift was not working when we got there - called Sunday and they had repair person there Wednesday. The cargo lift is a must and was greatly appreciated. The kitchen frig needs some maintenance. The freezer was not freezing and frig was not cooling very good. We will book this place again we all loved it !

I stayed here with a group of 10 adults and the house was very accommodating. Molly was a great host and was able to answer any questions we had. Easy access to the beach and a short drive to nearby restaurants and bars. I definitely plan to book this house again.

Our stay was amazing except the pool would not heat after the first day. I appreciated the fabulous communication to try to get it up and running but it didn’t happen. We were bummed as that was the purpose of booking it. The location was perfect and we still soaked up the sun. Some minor upgrades could be used the outside grill and cleaning service. Pretty sure we left it cleaner than we got there.

We got there and the lift was broken and it was a mojor reason we rented that cabin. It was over all a pleasant stay. The barbecue area was a mess. So we ended up not using it at all.

We were surprised by the large selection of books (for adults and children) and beach toys. We wouldn't have had to bring any! The separation of the upstairs and downstairs levels was nice to let kids nap while we played games. We loved grilling out on the middle deck under the lights. Thanks for a fun week!

We had such an amazing time during our stay. The home is beautiful & has everything you need and want. The location is perfect - outside of the beachside subdivisions but still close enough to everything. Perfection! We would highly recommend & look forward to coming back!

We love love love this property perfect amount of room for a group of 14 all ages perfect secluded beach not touristy, but close to restaurants , stores if you want or need anything. We did take ferry over to Galveston enjoy a day but most of our time was spent at the house in the pool and on the beach making memories. Owners were very helpful in check in and any questions we had. We will definitely be returning!

This property was PERFECT for out family and varied ages of children. Older folks could sit on the deck, cool and shaded while watching the grandkids on the beach or in the pool. The HUGE shaded deck was perfect for the one year old to run around and stay entertained. The separate levels was perfect for more than one family and the kitchen was well stocked. Would love to visit again!

We had a wonderful time at the Alright, Alright, Alright beach house on the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas!! 6 adults and 5 children…plenty of room, tons of fun that kept everyone happy!! Very private beach, no crowds, spectacular views! The pool was a favorite of the kids, plenty of beach for kite flying and sandcastle building! Rented a cart to ride up and down the beach, the Big Store in town had everything we needed for our stay!! We grilled, made S’mores, spent the nights looking for sand crabs and relaxing by the pool. Came home completely refreshed! Thanks Molly for your quick responses to questions and making this a memorable vacation!!!!

This property made my birthday celebration a 5 star celebration! The use of the lift was a game changer, the pool took the weekend to another level and the generator SAVED THE DAY! What are the chances that a big storm would roll in and knock out power for HOURS during this heatwave!?!? Couldn’t be more happy with our stay!

My family [me, my 4 adult children and their children] enjoyed using this property for 4 nights. It is wonderful to be right on the beach to go for walks and swim. The pool was also great for when we got tired of salt water and waves. Very spacious for cooking and enjoying each other!

This is a beautiful home. Fantastic layout. The pool was like a glorious huge hot tub no matter that we stayed in a cold weather month. Communications were the best I’ve experienced. We made beautiful family memories here. Thank you for sharing this slice of Heaven on earth with us. We shall return!

Spent a long weekend celebrating a milestone birthday with three families in my family. Proximity to beach, pool and multiple levels of the home made it great for multiple families. We didn’t get in our car for 2 whole days. Make sure you bring bug spray, the area has lots of mosquitos as there are low lying marshes all over, but that’s due to the location, not the property itself.

A great weekend getaway! Our group didn’t want to leave. The location was great and the house was super clean and had everything we needed + more! The owners were also super friendly and we didn’t have any issues with communication. Definitely recommend renting this spot if you’re planning a trip with friends, family, and/or kids. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.
