Amazing location and the covered deck was perfect for watching the waves or a breathtaking sunrise. Plenty of room for everyone. Comfy beds. We did have an issue with the AC, but our hosts quickly responded and helped to resolve it. Very relaxing overall.

Great Location!!

Awesome views. So close to the beach, made it so easy to make trips with all your items you need for the beach. They had everything you need at the house. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed staying there. If I had anything negative to say, was that the bed was a little to firm for my liking. But I would definitely go back.

Galveston Spring Getaway

We came down to Galveston for a few days of relaxation. We have stayed in the Bermuda Beach neighborhood twice before, but never directly on the beach. Loved the view! The house was clean and inviting. We appreciated the gate on the deck so our little dog was safe. The host was very accommodating. We would definitely consider staying here again.
