Cozy Beach Home With Hot Tub/Pool/Lazy River.
We had a great stay here! Very close to the beach and plenty of room for everyone. The amenities were great. The host was very responsive and helpful to our questions and requests.

POINTE WEST, GALVESTON, 3 MINUTE WALK TO BEACH
The property is beautiful… there is a view from every window and balcony. You can see the ocean and the bay… unique for Galveston Island. There is a pond directly outside and with the fountain, which kept mosquitos away. The kitchen is good for entertaining a family, and there is a formal and outdoor dining area. I would suggest bringing a bed pillow, high quality pan, and extra roll of paper towels. Alex was nice and responsive. The resort is family oriented and the quiet was well worth the 20 minute drive. We will stay with this host again!

Cozy Seaside Cottage Escape
I had a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as listed. The host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Cozy Coastal Retreat – Perfect for Your Getaway!
We had such a great time in Galveston. Schana’s place was spotless, beautifully set up, and located in a peaceful, private area with everything we needed close by. The beach was just a short walk away, which made it even better. Schana was incredibly responsive. For instance, when we noticed that the beach towels were missing, this was handled right away. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. We left feeling very happy with our stay and would absolutely book again.

Charming Bungalow with Fire Pit, Near the Beach
Amazing place, ideal for big groups

Beach Cottage Steps from the Beach with Fire Pit
Fabulous location just steps from Sunny beach (which was also not overly packed during our stay) which was super nice!! Sunrise on the balcony was breathtaking. The home was very well kept, and perfect for my family of 6! Plenty of space for everyone! Will be staying here again for our next Galveston visit!!

Searenity Pointe - Surfside 3 bedroom cottage
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The house is perfect for a family beach trip and Antonio was an excellent host - great communication with all the details needed up front. The ADA beach access was very close and easier to navigate with a wagon than others we’ve used. The place has comfy furnishings and we felt right at home! Specifically, the sofa, beds and linens nice and blackout curtains. We found everything we needed at the cottage: Everything needed for the resort pools and beach (adult and kid beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs, wagon, outdoor shower, etc.). Kitchen: a variety of skillets, pots, and pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, cups, nice dual coffee machine for k-cup or a whole drip pot. Bathrooms: tidy and stocked with towels, travel toiletries, makeup removal wash cloths Bonus: toys and books for kids, TVs (bunk room, living room, downstairs patio), first aid kit, washer/dryer and deck/rocking chairs to watch the herons and turtles in the lagoon!

Sugar Shores Cottage
We had a fantastic stay at Sugar Shores Cottage—all the pink was so cute and perfect for our bachelorette weekend. The beds were comfortable and clean and we really appreciated the number of bathrooms in the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.

Coral Haven
Great location - easy walk to the beach. Quiet location. Very cute house and decor:)

Oceanfront home near Kemah, Galveston and NASA
We truly loved staying here! We’ve never stayed in this area before, but we sure will again. It was a perfect location between Houston and Galveston and Kemah. I always fist regularly the entire time we stayed. It was amazing!

NorthStar Cottage: Beach 8 min walk. Port 3 mi.
Loved our 3 night stay. The house is very thoughtfully furnished. The quality of the furniture and appliances was of high quality and everything worked!! The beach is a leisurely 10 minute walk from the house. I would highly recommend this listing for a family vacation in Galveston.

Pineapple House at Silk Stocking Historic District
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, charming house. The house is located in a lovely historic neighborhood. Communication was smooth.

Cheerful 3 Bedroom Cottage with Breathtaking Views
This was our 2nd year booking this cabin. It fits our family well. Great location

Lemons Sunshack Cottage 3 min walk to beach!
Thank you for letting us stay at your house. My family appreciates you and sends their thanks as well

Shell Cottage ~ 2 minutes to the beach
We stayed at Shell Cottage for Memorial Day weekend. I had given up on staying at air bnb’s last year but after the wonderful stay at Shell Cottage, I have faith in air bnb’s once again. The property is very clean. The host is detailed and very response. We enjoyed every day. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. Shell cottage is our first choice for our future Galveston trips.

Wow! Where to start? The view from the balcony gives you a beautiful sunrise to sunset view! From check in to check out, everything was smooth and simple! David and Emily respond responded to every text we sent in aprompt time. The property is beautiful, the extras, including ping-pong, table, and foosball table where great additions. The kitchen has a nice open feel that really allowed us to have a great time as a group! I definitely recommend the stay and would recommend anybody interested reading this review!!

The Sundown Cottage just 3 blocks from the beach!
Clean house. Had everything you can think of in the kitchen for cooking / grilling. It was very nice to have a washer/Dryer. Backyard was pretty and loved the outside shower to rinse off after the beach. Michael was very responsive, professional, and kind.

Luxury vacation getaway Texas 1 story estate
My family and I had a great stay. Every picture and everything listed were very accurate. Geat space and lots of sleeping accommodations.

1955 Beauty Under the Oaks in Historic Old Town
We enjoyed our stay! The home was clean and cozy. Our favorite part was outside as the backyard was very private with a large privacy fence and a play set that our two children absolutely loved, making it easy to visit with family while they were entertained. Would stay again!

Poppy's Place Beachfront House
We stayed at Tammy's place with our 2 grandsons. It is a lovely place. The house was spotless and in a great location. Our grandsons spent so much time on the beach which is just steps away from the house. My husband and I could sit on the covered porch and watch them dig for hours. Of course, we were right there with them when they wanted to go boogie boarding (3 boards available at the house). The house was well stocked with dishes, glasses and pots. Tammy gave us recommendations on where to grocery shop and even a nice restaurant down the road. If I had a question, she was very responsive and answered quickly. The hot tub was an added bonus which we all enjoyed at night. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We certainly hope to be able to visit again. Thank you!
