Cozy Beach House

ZachRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Cozy Beach House was perfect for my family's weekend beach trip. The location is great, with views of the water and a 2-minute walk to beach access. It's on a quiet street filled with vacation homes with convenience and liquor stores nearby. Beach chairs and a wagon were provided in the downstairs closet, the washer/dryer was really nice to have, and the AC kept everyone comfortable. Super easy contactless check-in and check-out. The listing photos accurately represent the place. The only downside was the cleanliness of the place. A wet towel was left in a sink, the floors - which our toddler was crawling around on - were visibly dirty with sandy footprints in the rugs which came out with vacuuming. Almost all of the stainless pots and pans had food burned on them, making them unusable. I'm being generous with my 5 stars because beach houses like this are admittedly difficult to keep clean, and overall we were really happy with the place and the price we paid.

Beachfront + Hot Tub | Fireplace | Putt-Putt | Pet

CandaceRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had an amazing stay at this beach house! Even with nearby homes, it felt quiet, peaceful, and surprisingly private—perfect for our family getaway. House was exactly as pictured, with a cozy, beach-weathered charm. The downstairs outdoor space was a highlight, and the hot tub was a great bonus (some sand in it, but totally expected at the beach!). The beach gear was definitely past its prime, but still appreciated and useful. The views were absolutely unbeatable, and despite the slightly higher price, we felt the experience and location were worth it. The only issue we had was an unexpected visit from a man who said he was there to check on some repairs. No one had notified us, and he entered bedrooms—including one where teenage girls were sleeping and our personal belongings were out. It caught us off guard, and I had to reach out to confirm he was actually sent by the host. A heads-up beforehand would’ve made us feel much more comfortable. Overall though, we had a fantastic stay!

Pier Paradise | Front Facing | Casa Del Mar

JoshRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

The house was charming, maybe a little smaller than it appeared in the pictures, but everything was perfect. We appreciated that there were beach chairs for our use as well as a beach cart. The pool area was very enjoyable as well as the short walk to the beach. We will stay again.

Captains Cove seaside relax

TracyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Jeff’s place was great! Would definitely stay here again if ever in Galveston. Waking up to hear the waves across the street and morning coffee on the balcony. We did have a power outage during our stay and the whole area was dark. Jeff reached out to make sure all was ok and if we needed anything. It was nice to know he cared.

NicoleRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Angie’s place was a great choice! We have stayed at several AirBnBs in Galveston, and the air conditioning alone had us contemplating staying for good! The condo was clean, everything was easily accessible, and there was plenty of parking. We also loved all of the amenities that Angie offers her guests (chairs, towels, umbrellas, beach toys, extra blankets, pack and play, and more!). We would definitely stay with Angie again.

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

MarjorieRating, 5 stars6 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
