I organize an annual trip with elderly parents, siblings and their families. This has been one of our favorite beach houses. The younger adults/teens loved the short walk to the beach and enjoyed having their own loft space. The older adults appreciated that the main part of the house was mostly one level and the deck overlooking the beach was awesome day or night. The house had most of our favorite games on the shelf as well. Rummikub, dominoes, Mancala and many more. We usually have a group of about 12 and the basic, charcoal grill worked fine for burgers and fajitas but might have been difficult for a larger group. The kitchen was very well stocked. Freezer space is small, so bring a good cooler and plan to pick up ice almost daily. We enjoyed Moody Gardens and Bishop’s Palace, but mostly, we just enjoyed the beach! We also lucked out and experienced the “blue water” that arrives a couple of weeks per year in Galveston. There were plenty of beach chairs in the storage room and the beach was never crowded. We all voted to stay here again! The Gary Green rental staff were very responsive any time I had questions. We did not have any problems that needed to be reported. Ants showed up under the table one morning, but we swept them up and found the ant spray in the broom area.

We were told to NOT arrive at the property before 4:00 p.m. on check-in day. However, I received a text at 3:23 p.m. saying we could arrive at property. Coming from out of town, this was not a possibility. Also, having to leave on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. was a ridiculously early check-out time. It should be minimum 11:00 a.m. or noon. There was a hurricane a few weeks before and we were told there was no damage. However, upon arrival on the "shed" where beach accessories are kept, the siding was coming off on one side and there was no siding on the other side. Had nice beach chairs though. The stairs are in need of repair/paint. The front door is spring loaded, very hard to open. It will not stay open at all to bring your luggage/groceries up. Floors have quite a bit of water damage. Mirror in main bathroom has bad stains on it. Stairs to loft are VERY small and narrow (hard to get suitcases up there). Kitchen was great with a lot of items needed and spacious. Outside view is fantastic if standing up. Chairs are very low to ground. If you are sitting, the view is obstructed by the railing of the porch. The hammock is almost to the ground with no one on it. The 3 queen/king beds are VERY VERY hard. Very uncomfortable. The twin beds were much better. A very uncomfortable issue for us was the family photos in every room. I do not think it's appropriate to have your family photos hanging in a rental property. Was uncomfortable to say the least. Location is great....very quiet.

The property was exactly like advertised. View was awesome and only a few steps from the beach. About 20 minutes from all the action which was nice and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice house with great access to the beach and ocean. About 30 minutes from Northern Galveston locations such as Mario’s Italian restaurant which is a bit beyond the pier with the Ferris wheel.

Spectacular view, amazing sunrises! You really can’t go wrong with the location of this property. Three different families stayed here. We had a fantastic time. Plenty of beach chairs, toys, body boards. Charcoal grill to be used. Kitchen seemed to have everything we needed. Note: If you like a VERY firm bed, then these are for you (not us). Pillows could use an updating or bring your own, which wasn’t an option for us. And don’t forget beach towels!

Rented to attend a family reunion, The location, home and view were perfect. 7 Adults had comfort and room to mingle and rest. Would definitely rent again!

This beach house is stunning! It has everything and more for your beach stay! Kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with most spices and utensils you will need. House stays cool inside ( huge deal) when you are at the beach. Large downstairs area for family to hang out and grill after a long day at the beach. Outdoor shower is a bonus too. Thank you for your hospitality and we will be back!

This was my first time at Galveston. The house was perfect, the weather was great. My children said they would come back next June. Hurray for me!
