The house was perfect for our family. Spacious, enough beds for our group, plenty of seating, nice kitchen very nicely supplied, and our kids LOVED the game room. Mario was a great host responding quickly to any messages and making our stay perfect. We loved being so close to the beach and walked out there each morning! We look forward to our next stay in Galveston and will definitely be staying here again! Great vacation home!!

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND OUR EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT. Communication was great, never any issues. We had what we needed. Property is perfectly located close to the beach and other attractions. We were a party that consisted of 2 families. Each set of parents had their own room and the kids shared the 3rd bedroom. We were never crowded. The game room was perfect. Mario was great. BOOK THIS PROPERTY!

Big, spacious, gameroom, and one block from beach!

Wonderful place for a large group, especially with kids. Game room a bonus, although noisy/echoey with excited kids! Perfect distance to beach.

This beach house was just what we needed for our multi family trip. Our only complaint was the bedrooms were all very HOT and you couldn’t adjust the thermostat.

This place is pure Heaven! Absolutely beautiful inside and out. The layout is so practical and generous. Mario left no stone unturned when it comes to luxurious amenities to include a game room with a real Ms. Pac Man machine, toiletries and kitchen features. Can't wait to go back!

House was absolutely perfect for our pre-cruise stay. There were 6 in our family. Traveling with 2 elderly travelers, this home made it easy being all on a single level. Check-in was smooth and host was always available in a timely manner to answer any questions. Home was extremely clean with wonderful options. The kids enjoyed the game room. Very close to the beach and Galveston Pleasure Pier. We would definitely rent again on our next visit to Galveston.

Great for families!

We took our grandkids for a Beach vacation. The house was super clean and there was plenty of room for 5 of us. Please note that the master bedroom has the double Queen beds. The kids loved the game room and the large beds. The outdoor shower, beach umbrella and beach chairs were a plus! Our host was very responsive. Only a few minor maintenance issues we passed along such as the mattresses sagging and needing to be rotated, the grassy areas were full of cockleburs and couple of burnt out lights. Overall a good experience!

Great location!

Takes 2 mins to walk to the beach. I've had a few bad previous experiences with Vrbo houses. Pictures making the property look nicer than it actually is. This house was 10/10. Super clean, really nice comfortable and relaxing set up. Would definitely book this house again. The house was way nicer than expected. Thank you !!!

Large home on the beach

I would have to say that this property was almost exactly as described in the online listing. It is a large home with plenty of space for our family of 8. The beach area is easily accessible by foot and they included beach chairs were appreciated. The included game room was a welcome addition, but quite frankly the equipment was not in very good condition. The kitchen area was large and very well equipped. We had a problem at check-in concerning the keypad on the front door that was eventually resolved, but it took a couple of phone calls to reach the solution. If there were an onsite maintenance person it would have been less of a problem. All in all I would recommend this place for a large group to stay as long as you note the location and realize that it is not in walking distance to hardly any amenities. If you are traveling by car, that shouldn't be a problem but by ride share or foot be prepared for some inconvenience
