Makin Waves is a great place to stay on Galveston island. Our family, (grandparents, parents n a 2 and 4 year old) met for a weekend at the beach and it couldnt have gone better. The location is in a great neighborhood, close to the beach and the house is well equipped tand attractive and house is attractive
Our stay was perfect for an extended family getaway! I can be a little bit of a clean freak- but this house was spotless! Just like the photos!
The location is also one of my favorites on the island; a beautiful and calm neighborhood with amenities and a very short walk to the beach (less than 5 min).
We were a little nervous about it being too chilly in October, but the hot tub was a huge bonus. It was very nice to hop in and wind down after a long day. We will definitely be booking this property again next time we are in Galveston!
Large, spacious, well kept property with plenty of amenities. Owner provided A+ communication. Super easy beach access, great location. Would stay here again.
Absolutely loved this house. Very clean, convenient two minute walk to beach, and host had everything we needed and then some. Highly recommend this house!! A++++
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here during spring break. The property was very clean, location is great, and the property owner was quick with communicating. We loved the marina down the road where you can get some drinks, food, or souvenirs from the gift shop. Since it was chillier than usual, the hot tub came in handy! Overall this was a wonderful home and would highly recommend.
Makin Waves was the perfect place for our family getaway! Plenty of room for all of us, our pups, and the grandparents too. A quick walk to the beach, well appointed rooms, and an easy check in process made this stay effortless. Communication with Andrew was quick, efficient, and thorough. Couldnât ask for a better experience. We will be back!
My son graduated from Texas A & M on Aug 10 and because regular school had started for the younger grandchildren so we took a quick trip to Galveston. We knew we wanted to congratulate my son in some way and this ended up being perfect. The location was very convenient, the house wa exactly as described and very clean. We could not have picked out a better home for my family. The hot tub was a big hit for the youngsters and the yard was perfect for our fur babies. We will definitely be back! Oh and the host was was very communicative and made sure we checked in with it out any issues or concerns. Has some great suggestions on restaurants. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
We came down to Galveston, for my sons 16 birthday , with family and friends. The house was clean and had a great setup. Convenient location great neighborhood love the fact there is a restaurant in the neighborhood. Great amenities, downstairs was a hit with the kids. Beach is within walking distance. The kitchen is a nice size and has everything u could need to cook your family a hot meal. Hope to come back soon
Makin waves was nice and modern. Had plenty of towels in each bathroom. Very roomy! Extra cots if needed in closet. Playpen and toddler booster chair for the littles. Chair came handy bc I forgot to pack mine. Anything you need to use for cooking meals for the family is at your reach. Under the house chill spot was great and relaxing. Hot tub, tv, and the lighting was a nice touch. Definitely recommend this beach house! Andrew was a great host. Keeping me informed and replying back quickly. We will be back and stay longer next time!
We loved our stay at Makin Waves. The property was sooo...cozy and perfect for our family of 4 including our fur baby. Super clean and short distance to the beach. Communication with the owners about any questions was excellant. My kiddos had a blast and enjoyed the fenced yard. The house and kitchen were well stocked. Just make sure to bring ur own beach towels, if u plan on heading out to the beach. We hope to be back soon! Thanks for the wonderful, hospitality! Keep Makin Waves on your gotta stay at list.
This 4 bedroom place is setup wonderfully. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom on each side of the house. And each bedroom has some sort of drawer space. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Super convenient to the beach, and the second floor deck has great views of the sunrise. Also, plenty of equipment in the kitchen which was great surprise (i.e. lots of pots and pans, even baking dishes and a few pieces of Tupperware) The outside shower downstairs is a lifesaver. Hot tub worked great and was easy to use. We ended up doing jet skis and a bonfire on the beach, all thanks to their little guidebook which recommended a local concierge. We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Andrew and Elise!
I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to check in early by 4 hours. They also allowed for us to add an extra dog to the stay for an additional pet deposit of $50.
Unfortunately the property had a lot of issues with it. Beginning with the trash outside the property, there was a red hat and beer cans left outside the gate. When entering there were several broken items, such as a folding chair, a water gun, and other âbeach thingsâ that werenât usable, but likely left behind by other guests and never disposed of.
The inside has several issues as well. The floor was uneven in several places, foundation issues surely. There were not enough towels for each person, nor a washer and dryer to clean the used ones.
The kitchen had sugar ants everywhere you can think of. Around the sink, around the oven top, even where some of the cooking ware was stored. The dish washer had broken metal, which created rust and sharp edges on the top and bottom racks. The fact that I had to constantly kill ants while cooking was just disgusting. We were forced to mainly eat out during our stay.
Lastly, the listing stated there was a number for the community pool where tickets could be purchased ahead of time. I made several attempts to call the office, with no return calls. We arrived Friday, and were told that the office is closed on Saturday which was when the response came from listing manager. So we were unable to use the pool, which was mainly the reason we picked the listing.
The process was very easy, the place was very clean and smelled great. Everything was easy to find (wifi, extra linens, instructions for hottub, etc). Thanks for making the process easy. I would rent this one again.
There was a small problem with the gate one of my guests caused as we left, but the owner reached out to me and was very reasonable. I haven't heard anything back, so I assume everything is ok now!
Adorable home in Jamaica Beach! Plenty of space for 5 adults and 6 children. Loved that the kids had their own space and bunk beds! We were able to walk to the beach or stay in and enjoy the hot tub! Great place to stay and Andrew was very helpful!
