We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view was beautiful and with 4 kids, we loved being just steps away from the beach. Everything was exactly as described in the listing and the directions to find the property, as well as check in, were simple and easy to understand. The host was incredibly responsive as well. We hope to return for another trip in the near future!

The rental was clean, inviting, well furnished, and spacious! We loved the layout and the great sounds and smell of the gulf waters. Our stay was very enjoyable, the walks along the beach was invigorating and lightly used which made for a very pleasant view from the upper deck of the home. I would recommend this rental to anyone who enjoys the beauty of nature and the superb first sight of the sun in the mornings. It is close to the main area of Galveston Island and therefore there is ample opportunity to enjoy all that Galveston Island has to offer. We had a wonderful stay! AND hope to visit this rental in the future.

Hosts and house were great and the view was awesome. The few negatives the hosts cannot do anything about other than maybe a blackout shade to block the neighbors lights in the back bedrooms at night. Weather was cold first few days but warmed up to perfect the rest of our stay. Walking on the beach was great. Unfortunately there were a few people letting their dogs run loose on the beach and not cleaning up after their pets. And some others that were doing doughnuts on the beach in their hotrod cars and trucks.
