Good place for a family celebration

Beryl blew enough sand up to the house that we had to park on the roadway and walk a bit with our things. Debris on the beach was likely due to Beryl as well. House was nicely laid out w a bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. Fans,and conditioning worked well. Great location!! No idea what the port key was for.

Right on the beach

We really loved this house! Being right on the beach was exactly what we wanted. The living room was comfy for the times we just wanted to chill in front of the TV. Our younger daughters loved the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen was the perfect size and functionality. The only drawback for us was the master bedroom upstairs didn't cool as we would have liked. If the king and queen rooms were switched that would be more preferable for us. We would still consider staying in this house again.

Spring break at the beach

We loved this house that was directly on the beach. The grandkids could freely run to the beach. The deck gave a view of the whole coastline. This was wonderful for a morning break. The house had three bedrooms which worked perfectly for our group. The kitchen was large and we made most of our meals there. We definitely would like to go back.

Retired group of friends from highschool

I did not rate a 5 on the check in as we weren’t given the correct code on the door for check in but a phone call quickly rectified the situation. Had a sink that didn’t drain and someone was sent promptly to fix. Adequate towels for 6 women, beds were comfy but a little short on the toilet paper for 6 women staying 5 days ( we bought more and paper towels as well). Great location and view, house was clean, and pictures were accurate. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

Nice house with limited resources

While this house is nice and front row in Sea Isle, there are some improvements to be made for a better experience while staying here. Cons -It could use a new refrigerator where the door will actually stay closed. We had to put a cooler in front of it our entire stay in order for the door to stay closed and keep our food and drinks cold. Not convenient for large groups staying at this home. -No beach toys accessible to renters - this was a first for us and we have been renting in Galveston for 10+ years. -Bring/buy all the seasonings, foil, plastic wrap and disposable containers as there is nothing left behind here to store leftovers . Again, just a reminder to pack it all if you are going to be cooking. -Slow draining sink in downstairs bath. Pros - The bedrooms are all quite spacious and the upstairs room that sleeps 4 was very comfortable except for the lack of A/C flow. They do have fans in all of the rooms though which I think was very helpful. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the management company quick to respond to messages.

Absolutely beautiful get away.!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with my family. Every year my sister and her family and my family and I travel to Galveston as a getaway , to remember our dad, who passed away 3 years ago. I think we have found our new favorite Galveston place to stay! Every year we take a get away in October. Our stay exceeded by far exceeded our expectations! When we first arrived your home was so inviting. After a stressful and high anxiety day of driving, and kids arguing , we were greeted by music and perfectly inviting lights. The home decor is absolutely beautiful. Beds are comfy ! Nice kitchen to cook in since we did not go out to eat. Would def recommend you stop and get something to eat on the way in as there was no Uber eats or door dash. There is a convenience store right up the street that pretty much sold everything you could possibly imagine!

It must mean something if we came back! We always enjoy our stay here. The location is too notch. Right on the beach, the best view and easy walk. The beach doesn’t allow driving, which is an even bigger plus if you have kids there. The house I equipped with everything you need. Plenty of utensils and cooking supplies. Towels were provided. Beach accessories as well. We will most likely be visiting here again!!

Ocean’s Gem

We had a great time and the house was accurately advertised. The location, view, and proximity to the beach were all excellent. Two bathrooms worked well for eight people, and everything in the house was in good working order. It was nice to see that that there was a place below the house to rinse sand off before goin up stairs. The two story arrangement worked well for everyone. We definitely would come back again!
