Texas Medical Center Apartment
Very clean & comfortable, we stayed during a visit to MD Anderson. Great host, super helpful & patient with my lack of technical knowledge! We will definitely stay at the Fornix home again!

Pelican Haven
Visit in mid-June was great! Beach not too crowded. Beautiful accommodations and loved the kitchen! Host was clear on instructions to make our stay perfect! I would definitely book again.

Upscale Waterfront Condo on beautiful Clear Lake!
Tracy’s place was everything I hoped it would be. Very peaceful . very clean and welcoming. Whatever you may need in the kitchen, it’s there. We spent a lot of our time sitting out on the balcony watching the fish jump out and the birds flying by. Perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading and evening night cap. Great location for visiting family. Only 10 minutes away, if that. Next visit, we will stay there again. We found our home away from home. Tracy is friendly and quick to respond . She is an excellent host!

Isle B Back Seawall Gulf & Pool View! Come Chillax
The hosts were very responsive and helpful. They sent a list of things my son might like to do once we arrived at the condo, and followed up to ensure everything was going well.

Oceanview Beachfront 2/2 Sleeps Six-Free WiFi
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.

Seabatical Inn|OCEAN VIEW| Walk to Beach| POOL
Awesome place and exceptional hosts! Place is nicely appointed and well taken care of. Easy walk to the beach and good pool area. Hosts communicate well and are very responsive. Great location to attractions and restaurants without being in the middle of the commotion. Highly recommend this property!!

Casa del Mar top floor Beachfront with beach gear
We enjoyed our stay and the convenience to the beach very much.

The Ball Park|OCEAN VIEW| Walk to Beach| POOL
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here! Walk right across the road to beach, restaurants all around and entertainment right down the road. My boys 8/12 LOVED the baseball theme. We definitely will be returning!

Cozy Coastal Cottage, San Leon TX
I totally recommend this place! It was so scenic and comfortable and peaceful. I didn’t feel like this was an Airbnb host just trying to make quick passive income. I felt this host went out of their way to make their home an experience for me and my brother as their guests. My only regret… I wish I booked a longer stay.

Steps to Boardwalk, Bayfront, 216ft Pier, Elevator
We had a wonderful time. Great location would love to visit again thanks for everything.

Mermaid Manor – As Seen on TLC's OutDaughtered!
Overall had a great stay! A few things to note for future b&bers: The only staircase is a black spiral staircase, which was a little difficult for our older family members to manage. The cooking utensils/food storage is a bit on the sparse side, if you plan on doing a lot of cooking/having leftovers, you may want to bring some cheap plastic Tupperware! The bbq grill/beach gear leaves a lot to be desired! It has definitely seen the wear and tear of previous guests. Which isn’t a big deal, but not something to depend on using without some TLC. Overall our stay was amazing. It’s a dream location with amazing beach access. The beds were phenomenal, and I will miss how comfortable it was. Shannon was an amazing host and left fresh flowers and apothecary items for us leaving the whole place smelling amazing our whole visit. I would absolutely recommend Mermaid manor to anyone visiting the area!

Perfect Retro Beach House in the Perfect Location
Our stay was amazing! Beautiful view of the beach and of the boardwalk. There’s lots to do and Rhonda is a great host, she made sure we knew how to get in and answered any questions we had about certain remotes or how to use certain things. I would definitely come back!

Galveston Bayhouse on Main Canal with Bay View
Wonderful two night stay. Just what we needed for our family of 5 with teenagers, 10 year old, and 2 puppies. Wonderful neighborhood with water all around. Kayaking the canals and bay, fishing from the dock, driving just down the road to great beaches, clean and comfy furniture and sleeping, washer and dryer on site as well as kayak and beach supplies, wonderful restaurants in neighborhood or within 5-10 min drive, etc….we just wanted to stay longer next time or buy a home in neighborhood. Thank you for great memories, even for such a quick trip.

Waterfront fun! Kayaks, Bikes, Fire Pit & Fishing!
Great home. Great amenities. The host really helps you settle in to what’s in the community which is a great benefit and stress relief! We got the golf cart rental and beach umbrella/chair set up so this made it even better. Access right onto the beach with the golf cart. We caught a ton of fish at the recommend neighborhood spots and went back and forth from beach to fishing and also enjoyed the kayaks! Can’t wait to stay again next year.

Amazing POOL Property Near Kemah TX
Paul was a great host and his home met all of our groups needs. The pool was beautiful and very restful after a long day of soccer games. We would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront Home w/ Views | Hot Tub + Movie Theatre
Absolutely enjoyed staying here. Beautiful place, the elevator was such a neat feature. Super clean, and the host was very quick to answer any questions I had throughout the stay.

Wonderful hosts to a truly immaculate place. Jaime Lynn and Vince's condo was perfect for our 3 night get away. It was extremely clean and beautiful!! They have all the amenities that you would need and more!! It exceeded my expectations! They were perfect communicators and quick to respond! Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone!

Enjoy the Sunrise - Spacious 1 Br Beach Condo
Walking distance to the beach! Across the street are Seawall stairs. Everything was so clean and well stocked. The ac felt great after a long day swimming. Very responsive and helpful! Would love to come back!

Beach Front-Pickleball 2bd-2ba-King bd-W&D-Hot Tub
The only negative I can say about it is that the street between the condo unit and the beach is quite busy and noisy, but we knew the street was there from the pictures so we weren’t surprised.

Captains Cove seaside relax
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.

Lazy River, Pools, Beach-Float, Sip, Soak, Repeat.
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 Sunsets w/ Private Balcony
Terra and Darin’s place was absolutely perfect for our little girls getaway trip. The unit was exactly as described, very clean and had easy access to parking AND the beach. And it was VERY well stocked. Communication was fast and they even allowed us a little leeway on the arrival time. I’d definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a beachfront unit in the Galveston area.

CONDO RIGHT ON THE BEACH! HEATED POOL IN WINTER!
Perfect view of the beach from the balcony. Easy walk to the beach. Beautiful pool and super quiet. Very relaxing stay.

Infinity Ocean View from the 9th floor with patio.
Lilly is the perfect host and I have enjoyed coming to this condo two summers in a row. Five star experience for everything involved in booking through Airbnb and she is a kind and gracious, helpful host. Sincerely, Kevin P.
