Best Vacay Spot in Galveston!

This is our 5th time at this beach house. It’s always clean and ready for us when we arrive. The grandkids love the pool and we love the privacy. Doug is an excellent communicator and always on call if we have a question. Thanks Doug!

Our new favorite spot

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! The house was clean, well stocked, and in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood. The pool was amazing and super clean, a total hit with our family!Doug was a fantastic host, very responsive and thoughtful. He even made sure there was a pack and play ready for our baby’s first vacation, which meant so much to us. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Best of both worlds

The house was great. My family enjoyed the sites and beach but coming back and hanging in the pool made the night end great. Owners were very responsive and made sure we were good to go.

Family get away

The house and property are located in a quiet neighborhood a few blocks from the beach. Interior is roomy and well kept. The pool was great and the area around it was furnished with several chairs and tables. There were no disappointments and the owner was very prompt in assisting and answering any questions. Would absolutely stay again.
