The place was exactly as described and was very clean and tidy. I loved that it was less than 5 minutes walking distance to the beach. My only complaint is there wasn't enough toilet paper or any kitchen towels. It would be nice if those items would have been provided. But that is a small issue. Just make sure to bring those items with you.We will definitely be back for another visit!
#1, the location was perfectly and centrally located! #2, the neighborhood is clean and quiet, quiet enough you can hear the waves just a short walk away, #3, St Jacinto (at blinking light) is the entrance into the neighborhood, but you can also take it straight across the street to a huge beach parking area! #4, a short drive away, in the same neighborhood, is West End Marina, which has excellent food and drinks! #5, the house is just a very comfortable place to stay and a steal for the cost, you feel like you are staying at home. #6, The beds and pillows were awesome! #7, the owner is the BEST we have ever dealt with EVER - attentive and immediately communicates! 5-Start Overall Rating.
This was the perfect little beach home. It was accurately advertised and close to the beach and provided everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The front porch was a great place to have coffee and lunch and we spent most of our day walking to and from the beach.
Cozy Beach Getaway in a Great Location, But Better for Couples Than Families
I recently stayed at this home and had a pleasant experience. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach, which was very convenient. However, the view didnât live up to expectations, as you can barely see the ocean from the property.The house was very clean and well-maintained, though it's a bit on the older side. It had everything we needed, and it was clear the owners take good care of it. The communication with the host was excellent; they were quick to respond and very friendly, which made the whole process smooth.While the house worked well for our trip, I would say itâs a bit small for a family of four, especially when it claims to accommodate six people. I would recommend it for two couples or a coupleâs getaway, but it may not be the best choice for families with kids. That said, it could be a fun and cozy escape for those looking for a peaceful retreat close to the beach.
The house doesn't represent the pictures- wouldn't book this one
The house location is close to the beach. Outside needs painting, wood falling off the house. Deck in desperate need of repair, safety issues for young children and elderly . Patio furniture was challenging at times to use due to wear and tear. The front door was so hard to open, took multiple attempts to open every time, very frustrating. Needs repair ASAP! 6 towels, 1 hand towel and no wash cloths. Random clothes in the drawers. The one closet cannot be used, too much random stuff piled high. We all had to shower outside (works great) because inside shower backed up with hair coming up from the drain, Good news the weather was perfect all 4 days. The house does not sleep 6 people, the only other place to sleep besides the queen beds is couch (not a pull out). Air conditioning worked great! The cleanliness was an opportunity, example, floors, bedrooms and bathroom. Bring bug spray lots of mosquitoes. I would pass on booking this place until repairs are made.
Porches and railings are rotten in so many places and need to be repaired. My 6 year old couldnât lean on the railing to look over because it started to lean. Property is super clean and furniture looks to be new. The inside of the house is really nice and everything is there that you will need. There is a busier road in between the neighborhood and the beach but we rented a golf cart so it wasnât a big deal for us. The shower down stairs was great to rinse of sand!
The house worked great for the two of us. Bed was comfortable and kitchen well stocked. It could use a better cleaning job of the bathroom.
Typical of Galveston houses, there was rotten wood on the exterior and some storm windows were not working. We wish the palm trees in the front were trimmed for a better view of the beach.
We spent the day on the beach and dined out.
Over all super easy to get to my destination, easy to communicate with any questions and also very happy with the fast response. Would definitely recommend it đ€đ€đ€đ€
House was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Only problem we had was a thunderstorm knocked out our cable tv connection and we never got it back.
The house is as described. It is small but great for small groups or just a couple or two. It was a great location, about 8 miles from San Luis Pass with a bar and store in walking distance.
Location is nice quiet family friendly community. Close to beach.
House was not as clean we would have liked. There was dog hair through out and floor was gritty. The toilet handle rusted off the 1st day and my husband had to replace the parts which was an easy fix. They just need to do some minor upgrades and the place could be great.
This house was everything we hoped for! From the moment you open the huge sliding glass door, you know you are near the beach from the clean, beach decor. I have always preferred the west end of the island. Although it is about 30-40 minutes to drive to the sea wall and all that Galveston has to offer, the drive goes quickly. We even drove in one night for shakes at La Kings - drive was no big deal. Itâs worth it for a less busy beach and great access to beach and bay. The beach out this far isnât as busy as Bolivar or the sea wall. The great thing is that if the beach close to the house seems busy, you just drive a bit to find another beach access point. We had access to the pier in the Sea Isle neighborhood which my teenage son loved for night fishing . There is a little marina which has a bait camp and an area with live music on weekends. The house had everything we needed to cook dinner, BBQ outside, etc. but there are several stores near. Check in was easy. Wifi was great. Beds comfortable. In fact my husband was obsessed with the pillows! Plenty of space for all of us. Loved it and highly recommend!
