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.

Beachfront Condo with Lazy River

RyanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

Waterfront Bay House w/ 300’ Lighted Fishing Pier

LindaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This is our fifth time staying at Patrick’s house. This stay, like all the others, was a great experience. It’s a perfect location with a great fishing dock. It’s a quiet, peaceful setting and not too far from Galveston. The house is nice and comfortable. Patrick is quick to address any concerns and is always responsive and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.

*BEACHFRONT*Beautiful home DIRECTLY on the SAND

KaylinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Lazy Gator: Your Fun & Relaxing Beach Stay

MeghanRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Great house with amazing view. Porch is worth every penny. We spent a lot of time out there. Local food was good especially Island Cafe- we ate there every single day. Beach is secluded but water is dirty because of surrounding rivers. Quick ferry ride to Galveston and hour drive to Houston. Amazing place if you are looking for quiet, relaxing beach vaca. No crowds, no traffic. Host was very informative.

Renovated 4 BR/3 BA Beachfront + Game Room!

RebeccaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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!

Waterfront 4 bdrm home with hot tub on wide canal!

GraceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Lovely home with gorgeous views. The location is perfect: few minute drive from the beach, just 20 minutes from downtown, and the state park was right next door. We went on many early morning walks through the quiet neighborhood and spent our days on Jamaica Beach. Lisa’s home was the perfect place to kick up our feet and relax after a long day. The balconies provided a perfect view of sunset, and we spent plenty of time looking over the edge of the dock watching the fish! We will definitely be keeping Lisa in mind the next time we come to Galveston!

Lazy River, Pools, Beach-Float, Sip, Soak, Repeat.

MarjorieRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Loved our stay . Great condo on the second floor. Easy check in and out. Gregory checked in on us every day to make sure everything was as we needed. All amenities at the condo available for stay. While a bit isolated from the rest of Galveston it’s what makes this location quiet and peaceful. The pool and lazy river are amazing. Property has on site lift for the pool which made our stay even more pleasant . The bar was open which was also a treat . Didn’t get to experience the on site spa . Seawall Cafe and Sea Horse Grill are hidden gems. We loved our stay and would definitely return

Gorgeous/Beachfront/Pool & Hot Tub

Stephen & LisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Easy check in process at the condominium. Staff was helpful and courteous. Plenty of parking . Carts available for loading / unloading. Easy and safe access to the beach. Outside showers available for use prior to coming back in. The unit itself is wonderful. Shanna has the unit well decorated and not lacking for anything. Nice touch with the bottle of wine waiting to greet you. The view of the Gulf and the ships from the 9th floor is incredible. It was very relaxing to sit on the balcony while listening to the roaring surf. Shanna had a number of items available in the unit for use at the beach (some beach chairs, cabana for shade, beach wagon). The front desk has a phone number for a third party company if additional equipment is needed for the beach. We really enjoyed our stay @ Shanna's Sea Spot on Galveston Island. She is a great host.

Aah-mazing Beach Retreat with Ocean & Pool views

MorganRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Location was fabulous, the condo was perfect for 3 adults and a toddler. Wendy had everything we needed except for food and drink. She even had coffee with sugar and creamer at the ready! Wendy notified me prior to check in that the cleaner reported the fold out bed in the couch had a broke leg and was willing to have a replacement delivered the same night! I declined as it wasn’t necessary for us and we wouldn’t need that extra bed. She was prompt with communication and was clear with check in and check out instructions. Front office was friendly and actually had affordable laundry soap so I didn’t have to make another trip to Walmart which btw is walking distance! The pools were fabulous and the condo is right outside the more kid friendly pool. Elevator was broke by our room but we managed. We could have used one on the opposite side but it wasn’t terrible for us. This is located on the top floor (4th floor) definitely keeping this gem saved! Great first time A-BNB experience! ❤️

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!
