only a 2 block walk to a private beach perfect for families
2 block walk only to a private beach Surf Shack is a perfect location. Open floor plan is ideal for entertaining and all rooms on same floor. W/ the lights on the Front deck listening to the waves at night is tranquil. vacant lots on 3 sides offer peace from neighbors. Cornhole, washer boards and horseshoes offer fun for everyone while at the house. Also 2 blocks to an amazing pizza place, large convenient store and liquor store makes for a great location.
Host was very responsive. Older property. Small refrigerator so bring a cooler for your beer and bottled water. Also... might want to bring your own coffee pot...or do what we did and get individual k cups for coffee. Overall, a comfortable place with a great host.
My family really enjoyed our stay at the property! It was nice and close for us to walk down to the beach every day and big enough to accommodate all nine of us comfortably!
Loved this house and our time there. The house was perfect for our two families. Loved the deck and outdoor shower. Had a great time and would stay again
Host was very nice . We had a terrible start to our vacation due to our orginal rental ghosting us . The host communicated well and put my mind at ease . Great location . There was no washer or dryer available at this rental as stated on amenities .
Where to start rented for 3 days stayed 1 due to children being scared cause of mice in house...the house its self leans its not level,the couch is so dirty you can't even tell the real color.The walk to the beach is longer than 3 minutes it took us 13 minutes over 2 blocks would i rent again no
Full disclosure- I found this property listed for a very low price and booked it. After I booked the owner demanded I pay double or he would cancel. He will say this review is because I am upset about the. I am not. I felt he had genuinely made a mistake when listing and decided to pay what he asked. Pros-The walk to the beach was very short.The beach is beautiful. We walked all the way down to Jamaica Beach. The Patio on the home is a beautiful place to have coffee.There is an outdoor shower downstairs to rinse off.Cons-The home is very outdated.There are many maintenance and condition issues.The tubs don't drain properly.The smoke detector in one room was missing and wires were hanging out. Mice got into out food.The furniture was old and dirty.The owner is quick to respond. No issues with that. I would have left and asked for a refund if I had paid full price.
Very comfortable beds, well stocked towels and kitchen, very clean, quiet neighborhoodWe did not need it, but there is no laundry equipment as listed...fyiWe would definitely stay here again!
Amazing place it was an exactly what we wanted and more! Our family and friends loved it! Rooms were clean and comfortable and ready to sleep in. Place was great all around. When we had issues even though it was late at night the Host responded immediately to help. If I can give this 10 stars I would! Would definitely recommend and come back for another stay!
Checking in was a breeze. The beach was wonderful, within walking distance. There werenât many people around and we felt like we had the beach to ourself. The house was great. Plenty of porch space. The layout of the house was very open and enjoyable for our family to spend time with each other. Thank you for everything, Sean!
House was amazing beach was literally right out the back door neighborhood was great neighbors were great and a short drive to town. If you need to go to Walmart for anything I would definitely book it again. Me and my family loved it and the host was great too. He was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed.
Pros:
-comfortable beds
-big couch in living room
-filtered water faucet in kitchen
-games (dominos, jenga, cards) available for use
-air conditioner works well
-quiet neighborhood
-ample parking
-âeasy 5 minute walk to uncrowded beach
-beach toys, shade tarp, boogie boards for âuse
-outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach
-ownerâ is polite and responds quickly to messages
Cons:
-âNo washer/dryer (which was an amenity stated in the listing)â. Very disappointing the home was misrepresented in this way! We are a family of 6 including 4 young children and we packedâ minimally assuming we could do laundry. The owner did apologize for the inaccurate listing, but it was still inconvenient.
-âSome doors donât close easily and some swing open due to the slight slant of the houseâ.
-âLimited cooking supplies in the kitchen, limited pots/pans/utensils, many are scratched and/or rusted, no oven mitts, only one small dish towelâ.
-âThe outside of the entire stove/oven gets VERY hot when in useâ.
-âDining room area is very small, the table is large and difficult to walk aroundâ.
-The house could be a little cleaner (under/behind beds, under toaster, etc).
Overall, this house is a good deal for the price with a great location close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. As long as you don't need laundry and aren't looking for 5 star luxury accommodations, you should be fine. The owner is friendly and quick to respond, so that is a plus.
Property doesnât match pictures posted. Terrible mildew/mold smell as soon as opening the door. Floors uneven, bathroom bedroom doors sticks and donât close. Window pane full of black mold, black mold on ceiling tiles, furniture runned down and stained, pots and pans rusty. Definitely not a place to stay with a family.
The property is in an absolute perfect location if you want to enjoy a private beach away from the crowds. It was very clean and exactly what was presented online. I plan on renting it again in the future.
The property was clean and ready for us. The proprietor was quick to respond to my questions. Property had a nice fenced in area that was common to the deck so we could let the dog out without worrying about him getting free. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach!
The house was well kept and clean, there were a variety of appliances in the kitchen available to use, all in working order and well maintained. Sean was quick to respond to questions and gave clear answers. Overall we had a great time!
We had such a wonderful time and having the beach house was great! It was a short walk to a private beach! đïž Our host was very friendly and accommodating. He even allowed us to add an extra day at the last minute as the house wasnât booked that day. We had 7 of our kids with us ranging from 5 to 21 years old and everyone had a GREAT time. If youâre looking for luxury this may not be your cup of tea, but if youâre looking for comfort, convenience, friendly host, and privacy then we highly recommend! Thanks Sean for a fantastic vacation in your home!
Private beach itâs very peaceful for familyâs and pets. No vehicles can be driven on the sand just a great atmosphere for kids etc. only 10 mins from DT Galveston
