Pelican Haven
The condo was amazing. Fully stocked with everything you could need. Big screen TV's in every room. Kitchen had upgraded appliances. Little personal touches here and there like makeup remover wipes in the bathrooms and binoculars to enjoy while sitting on the balcony. Board games and cards to use. Nesia was a wonderful hostess and very responsive. We truly enjoyed our weekend getaway.

Upscale Waterfront Condo on beautiful Clear Lake!
We absolutely loved Tracy’s space! It was immaculate upon check-in. It had everything we needed to make meals at home. Tracy was very responsive and great to talk to. Her patio was our absolute favorite ❤️ we utilized it everyday in the mornings with coffee, and at night with a night cap. The breezes were great and the sounds of the water were serene. It was a very nice quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We felt right at home. We will most definitely be returning next year.

Oceanview Beachfront 2/2 Sleeps Six-Free WiFi
Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Fantastic views and ample patio space. The condo was clean and also smelled fabulous not overpowering. The color through out was calming and beach appropriate. Parking was also top notch as our vehicles were with covered parking with camera surveillance. I would absolutely recommend staying here any chance you have from a day to a few days. Thank you for your graciousness!!!!

Seabatical Inn|OCEAN VIEW| Walk to Beach| POOL
This condo is exactly as described in the listing. It was very clean and comfortable. The bed is super comfy and inside was very quiet considering we were on Seawall Blvd with lots of traffic. Daniel and Sam were extremely responsive and we were grateful they were able to accommodate our request for an early check-in. This is an excellent location and on the 'quiet' end of the beaches (which we prefer), and if you don't want to the fight traffic, it was a quick and cheap Uber to go out to dinner. We would definitely recommend this condo and will stay here again if a weekend getaway brings us back to Galveston!

Beachfront Condo with Lazy River
We absolutely loved Katia's condo in Galveston! The property had everything the kiddos wanted, the pool was amazing and the distance to the beach was phenomenal. Just across the street was a great coffee/breakfast shop and small grocery for any quick needs. We couldn't have asked for anything more and if anyone wants a sneaky good place to eat, check out Coopers Landing just a walk away for some great eats close by! I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking as Katia was an amazing host and we will be back!

Sea Shell Belle |Ocean View| Walk to Beach|2 Pools
Great location! Will definitely be booking again. Very walkable, especially to the beach. Despite being along a major street, it was very quiet. Very clean & comfortable.

Pre Summer discount - Oceanfront Bliss, 2bd/2bath,

Sol Destination
We enjoyed our stay and the host was very sweet! Would stay again.

Canal Cottage Beach House - Galveston Bay Retreat
A real home with attention to detail for long and short stay. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable, homely furniture and furnishings. Great in-house laundry facilities. The house is in a quiet street and 10 min walk to the beach. The host is delightful, proactive and responsive. Would love to stay again if my travels take me to West Galveston. A real pleasure. Thank you.

Canal Home w/Boat Slip, Elevator & Golf Cart
Jeff's home is absolutely beautiful!! The deck overlooking the canal with high end outdoor furniture is the place to be. Time & attention was taken in creating this retreat. As a designer I was impressed! What's even better is how easy it is to work with Jeff! He is very kind, accommodating, and communicative. We had special needs (specifically for the elevator) and when he learned there was a problem with it prior to our arrival that day, he already had a repairman on the way and resolved it very quickly. It is obvious that Jeff cares about his guests!

Touch of Paradise
Todd & Millie’s home was just perfect for our Family Thanksgiving. Very spacious kitchen. The house has wonderful outdoor seating. Loved all the swings. Todd & Millie were very responsive when we needed help. Overall great experience.

Mermaid Manor 1st row on the beach, dog friendly!
Best oasis in Texas!!!!! Amazing spot directly on the beach, breathtaking views from multiple balconies for every guest to enjoy, with open entertaining layout inside for our family game nights. Loved the peacefulness being away from the crowded public beaches and having our private beach access. This was a surprise beach retreat to get grandparents, siblings, & our family all together for a fun/ relaxing beach vacation…. PERFECTION!!!!!! We also loved taking the kids to the Rainforest Cafe, aquarium, and mini golf but also going shopping at the outlet mall. Best part of all was that EVERYONE in our family was able to enjoy being together on vacation, including our dog. He loved running around the beach, jumping into waves, & napping in the sun. Highly recommended!!!!!

Livin’ the Highland Life
Absolutely beautiful house and location. It has been perfect for our family and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Life is beautiful!!!
Great canal house, and great neighborhood! We had so much fun fishing and kayaking, and being such a short drive from Sea Isle Beach was AWESOME. The patios were great for spending time together outside, and the house had everything we needed for four adults and four kids. And the outdoor shower was so handy when returning from the beach.

Surfside Beach Direct beachfront with great views
We had a great time!! Loved the house and the layout worked great for all of us!! Loved the easy access to the beach and the covered area under the house!! Will definitely be back!!

“Flounder Bay” 4/3 house ON THE WATER & boat slip!
Our stay at the Flounder Bay was amazing. Such a beautiful peaceful place right on the water. The pictures definitely match the place!! Definitely want to visit again!!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Pier Paradise | Front Facing | Casa Del Mar
Absolutely adored the place....well decorated, well maintained and very clean...was loaded with amenities and everything needed for comfort and feel at home. The shower was hot as I like and bed very comfortable. I brought my own white noise machine but did not need it because one was already provided. The hostess was very attentive and prompt with responding. The views of beach was therapeutic and amazing. Casa Del Mar staff was very friendly and professional. My husband and I spent 8 days in Galveston and it was perfect.

GalvestonAirBnB Beachfront Rental
Loved the space! Great for the kids. The pools were clean and welcoming. The house was spotless.

Cozy Conch- a beachfront condo with all amenities
We loved the location. The beach was beautiful, so great to be able to walk right onto the beach from the complex. Moody Gardens is just a short drive away. The condo was clean and welcoming. My teen slept on the pull out couch and was comfortable. Walter was very proactive and guided us through every step. We had everything we needed, wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely like to come back for a future stay.

Aah-mazing Beach Retreat with Ocean & Pool views
Great place to stay and Wendy is super communicative. Everything went great and we were super happy. Would definitely stay here again!

Seascape Condo Resort 1Bedroom/1bath Beachfront
Cute place that was perfect for our little group! Great host and easy to communicate with. We will be back!

Galveston’s Gem
Beautiful place. Great communication. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. A little noisy at times because it’s on a busy street but we were there for Mustang Week. Most vehicles you cannot hear from inside. Hubby went to pool. It wasn’t clean and/or not open. We could hear people upstairs. Walking around like they were stomping grapes. Best part… the ocean view. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Sandra n Jody💕

1/1 Beach custom condo 2 pools updated over pool
Our stay at this condo was excellent. The unit was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully organized, making for a very comfortable experience. Its location is ideal—conveniently situated near a variety of restaurants, attractions, and local points of interest. Overall, it served as a perfect home base for our visit. We would certainly choose to stay here again in the future.
