Great beach front and sun location
My sister and I enjoyed the location, not too far from grocery and ferry but also not crowded. The tall chairs on the deck were perfect for ocean viewing. Place was clean. Windows didn’t like to open and no screens when they would. Overall a Good find :)

Birding trip
We really enjoyed our stay. The rental was close to a lot of great birding sites and we loved our ocean view each day. We especially appreciated the purple martin house in front of the rental. We were glad that we read other reviews that recommended buying groceries before arriving as groceries and restaurants are limited in the area.

Perfect for family fun!
We had a great stay! beautiful views of sunrise. Everything was clean and exactly as it was described. The beach was full of seashells and different treasures to look for the kids and the dogs absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Location
The house was amazing and literally walk out onto the beach. WE traveled with 2 adults and 4 kids (ages 4-17) and everyone found something they enjoyed from playing on the beach, in the water, or just laying on the sand. Plenty of sleeping room for everyone and what we needed to cook (though let's be honest we went out to eat a lot to). The owner's were some of the best to work with. Very accommodating and kind. Would HIGHLY recommend this house to rent and we would rent it again.

So Relaxing
Our family had a wonderful stay! The house was perfectly stocked with all the essentials. Beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for our family of five. It was a quiet and peaceful location that allowed our family to play board games, work on puzzles, bbq, and take nice walks on the beach. Love that it was clean while being pet friendly! Hostess was great, and answered questions clearly and quickly. We had such a memorable, and well-needed vacation.

Relaxing beach house
We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. It was attractive, clean, and well furnished. Its proximity to the beach is second to none. That being said, there are a couple of things to be aware of, none of which necessarily detracted from my stay.1. It is about 40-60 minutes from Galveston and requires a free ferry crossing. I thoroughly enjoyed the ferry. I'd recommend getting out of your car and going inside it to view from the upper deck. The dolphins are very cool to watch.2. If you have severe vertigo, be aware this home is on pilings. This is 100% normal for the area. In heavy winds or if you have a heavy footed person, the house does sway a bit. It didn't bother me, but its just something to be aware of. All homes in this area do this as it is a flood prone area and all are on pilings.3. Go to Mardi Gras!4. There are very, very few places close to the VRBO to shop for necessities at. There is family dollar up the road, but I'd recommend getting everything you need on your way to the house.

First property was great but a cleaning schedule mishap did not have ready at check in time. Host had another property open and got us there in no time. When you can overcome an issue and satisfy the customer you are getting it done! Thanks so much for a great few days on the beach!

Amazing Views- right on the beach!
Cathy was wonderful! She communicated with us after the storm and helped us feel at ease. The house was perfect and right on the beach. There are very few houses in the area. Felt like a private beach most of the time. There was some debris after the hurricane that can be expected, but there were some amazing shell finds! The house was perfect for our family of 6 and there was room to sleep 2-3 more comfortably! This was our first time being right on the beach and it was such a great experience- we could go up and down to the beach at our leisure. We brought most of our groceries and hit the Big Store (10 min drive) for necessities. We cooked every meal at the house and spent all week at the beach. Drove 20 minutes one afternoon to take the ferry to Galveston and visited the Strand for a little shopping. Definitely recommend the ferry. Pro-tip:bring some nice clothes that coordinate and take some family pics at the beach!
