Our best ever travel experience with a a vacation rental. Impeccably clean, direct access to the beach, extras one wouldn’t expect (snacks for us and the dogs!) and the Christmas decor. The lift made bringing our luggage to the main floor much easier and safer. And, the knees were very accommodating.

This beautiful beach house is superior to the fanciest of hotels in Galveston. The layout is perfect and so close to the beach.The owner's taste in decor is exquisite, as every room contains a delicate surprise. All furniture and beds are top of the line in comfort, and the kitchen is fully stocked with more than what you could need. The numerous balconies are amazing, especially the front balcony with the cozy furniture. It made our late evenings very relaxing as we enjoyed the sea breeze and the sounds of the waves so close by. We didn't have children with us, but all the special accomodations for them are adorable. Your kids will love it! I cannot say enough about this place and about all the courtesies the owner provided. Everything exceeded all expectations. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Place on Periwinkle

We had plenty of room for our family in this wonderfully decorated, perfectly placed house near the beach. The pictures don’t do it justice, the house is beautiful. The ocean views from the decks were tremendous and the owners provided beach stuff with a wagon for easy hauling. The host was always available for questions and provided detailed information which made planning easy. We will definitely stay there again! Thank you for making our birthday event memorable!

Great location

Overall wonderful place and location! A couple of minor things: Cleaning the microwave and refrigerator could have been better. The toilet seat in the Master bathroom was loose. We could not get one of the garage doors to open. The grill was aged and choose to buy another one and left it for the next guest. These are all minor things just fyi. Would we stay again? Absolutely Also the beautiful fresh flowers and snacks were a very nice touch. Thank you!

Great house and location

Our group of 9 all really enjoyed staying at the house. The house layout worked well for our group and the kitchen and family room area was good for cooking and hanging out. The beach is a very very short walk away. The owner was always quick to reply to questions. You can tell they take pride in the property and think of the details to make the stay more enjoyable for guests. We’ll definitely look to stay here next time we’re back in the area.

Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

We stayed at this property with two families including 5 kids under 10 and it was lovely. The house was very well equipped and clean and there was plenty of space for everyone without ever feeling crowded. The outdoor seating areas were particular impressive, with balconies off almost every room with views of the ocean. Proximity to the beach made hauling our crew easy. Hands down our favorite Galveston rental to date and we hope to return soon.
