Beautiful Condo On Marina Bay
Beautiful home! My family loved the space, my son loved the fun touches in the house. Very neat, and tidy. Pool was nice, and we felt rested! Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much!

Pelican Haven
Lovely spot to relax and spend a weekend getaway. Would definitely love to visit again! Well appointed space with great kitchen for nights when you want to cook and relax. Lovely breezes from the water and view of the Gulf!

Isle B Back Seawall Gulf & Pool View! Come Chillax
The hosts were very responsive and helpful. They sent a list of things my son might like to do once we arrived at the condo, and followed up to ensure everything was going well.

Oceanview Beachfront 2/2 Sleeps Six-Free WiFi
Very cozy place. Felt like home. Great location. Crossing Seawall Blvd to get to the water was easy and could be done with small children. Douglas is a great and prompt communicator. Highly recommend.

Casa del Mar top floor Beachfront with beach gear
We enjoyed our stay and the convenience to the beach very much.

The Shore house|OCEAN VIEW| Walk to Beach| POOL
This was our second stay at this unit. Daniel and Sam are wonderful hosts—kind and communicative throughout. The unit itself is very clean and beautifully maintained, with stunning beach views from the balcony. Highly recommended! We would love to return in the future.

Beachfront Paradise of Texas
This is our 2nd time staying at Vincent’s beach house, and it’s likely the place we will seek out on future trips to Galveston. We love the amount of space, beautiful gulf views, proximity to the peaceful private beach, and that it is pet friendly. The space is clean, and had all the amenities needed to enjoy our weeklong visit. Thanks again Vincent for another wonderful stay!

Beautiful Galveston Beach House
We had a wonderful stay and it’s was perfect. The golf cart was so helpful getting to the beach and other areas that was close. I will always come back to this location and recommend all of my friends as well.

Waterfront Bay Home w/Large Outdoor Space
The place was absolutely amazing. Loved how quiet it was and secluded will definitely be back again. Sadie was also extremely accommodating when requested to check in a little earlier and was very responsive to all the needs.

Perfect Retro Beach House in the Perfect Location
Our stay was amazing! Beautiful view of the beach and of the boardwalk. There’s lots to do and Rhonda is a great host, she made sure we knew how to get in and answered any questions we had about certain remotes or how to use certain things. I would definitely come back!

*BEACHFRONT*Beautiful home DIRECTLY on the SAND
Picture it: You're at the beach looking for the perfect place to pitch your tent for the day. You look for the line where the wet sand from waves ends, and you leave a little space for the kids' sand castles. There it is- the perfect spot. But wait! Don't haul out those tent poles and sand bags because right there, in that very spot, is an entire beach house ready for your next beach vacation! This house solved every complaint I've ever had about taking kids to the beach. A (nice, full) bathroom at beach level. Shade from the sun without lifting a finger. Every toy and chair that we brought safely tucked just an arm's reach away on the deck. Depending on the kid's age, I could send them to the beach while I drank my coffee from the recliner overlooking the waves in the morning, or send them up to the living room when they were done for the day while I waited with the others on the beach. Inside: - 180˚ views - So many beds! - Clean - Well decorated - Wonderful host 10/10!

“Sunny San Leon Casita”
We had a great time at Jerry’s place. Perfect place to go to unwind and relax. We will definitely be back!

The Hamptons at Spanish Grant
This place is fantastic! The house is right on the beach! She has lots of amenities and decorations. The house stayed cool with hot temperatures. 6 beds 2 are queen. 4 are twin. two bathrooms. Big balcony facing the beach to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Renovated 4 BR/3 BA Beachfront + Game Room!
This was our second time staying at Casa Courageous, and we will be back! It’s comfortable and roomy, with all of the comforts of home. We traveled with young children, who felt right at home. We were grateful for fun bunk beds, books, and kid friendly spaces. The house is a short walk to the beach, and we loved seeing cranes and pelicans fly overhead. Looking forward to our next trip already!

FLIP FLOPS 713 @ The Dawn -1st flr, pools & hottub
Great spot near the beach! Perfect for our small family. Loved that we had access to beach chairs & beach toys. Pool area was awesome and it was nice to walk right out from the condo to the pool. Fun themed condo which was very clean and inviting. Great host! Thanks again!

BEACHFRONT HIDEAWAY
We had a wonderful stay! April’s balcony views were wonderful and she had lots of towels to use during our stay. We also loved that she had beach chairs and a wagon for us to use. Had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

Lazy River, Pools, Beach-Float, Sip, Soak, Repeat.
The host is very easy to communicate with! This place is amazing and we miss it already. From the minute you walk in, those VIEWS!! It was never really busy at the pool, and even if it was it's a 300 foot pool. Not much to worry about. Beach access was easy, the condo itself was clean and enjoyable and quiet! We are very much a "chill out on vacation" mode family and we still were able to go swim at all times and come back and relax. Great place, I see us being back one day. We're already homesick for that place and those views!

Entire Ocean Front Condo @ Gulf Breeze - Galveston
Awesome place to stay for our family of 5! We spent 10 days there and can not wait to return next year!!!

Island Hideaway! Pools! Hot Tubs! Cruise Parking!
Condo This condo was exactly as described, with interior photos accurately reflecting its clean and inviting atmosphere. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of puzzles and games, including Rummikub. Its prime location next to Walmart made grabbing groceries for quick breakfasts a breeze, perfect for fueling up before our beach soccer tournament. The kids absolutely loved the bunk beds! A truly great stay, and we'll definitely look to book this space again. Property The Victorian boasts an unbeatable location directly across from the beach. Check-in was seamless at the main office, providing clear instructions, gated parking, and reliable Wi-Fi. The outdoor shower was a convenient bonus for rinsing off after sandy beach days.

King Bed Suite Amazing Pool View!
Johnathan was an excellent host! We booked kind of last minute and he was very responsive and helpful with our questions. The condo is adorable with great amenities and the beds were soooooo comfortable! The balcony was also a major bonus! Much larger than expected with nice patio furniture for relaxing. I even took a nap during a gentle rain on the balcony under the umbrella that covers the outdoor furniture. So peaceful!

Beach-n-it
Overall stay 10/10!! Very nice and informative host!!! Nice view of the beach and the pool.. it was a very nice and relaxing stay even the kids loved it… everything in nice distance from Walmart to fast food places beach was also walking distance.. the vibes were amazing!! .. wouldn’t mind staying again😁

Beachfront Beauty - Right On The Beach!
Perfect spot for a quiet getaway with family or friends, with a direct view of the beach from two small balconies and a small, very clean pool in the complex. Unit has everything you need, including beach towels available for use. On the "first" floor (really the second), and high enough to have a good view of the ocean over the dunes. Older but very clean and well maintained complex with excellent customer service at the front desk. Owner was incredibly responsive to questions and communications. Went with my adult son with a disability who loved the safe, smaller size of the complex and the quieter atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
