The house is beautiful, well maintained and right on the beach. Breathtaking views of the Gulf of America. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation home. Looking forward to staying at this property in the future.

We had an amazing stay at this property! Upon our arrival, we were blown away by the ocean views in such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The house itself was very clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location was the best part—on the beach, allowing us to enjoy morning shelling and walks on the sand.The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed. If you're looking for the perfect beach getaway, this is the place! I highly recommend this property and we will most definitely be back!

Grandchildren were on break for Mardi Gras (they live in S. Louisiana) I tried to tell them that they wouldn't be able to swim the first week of March, but they insisted we go. We played games, cooked, made several trips down to the beach. There are a lot of stairs and didn't realize until we had hauled everything up that there was a lift. Sure made leaving easier. The house sounds small when you read the square footage, but it is very roomy and comfortable. Spotlessly clean and freshly painted. Do no hesitate to stay here - can't beat the access to the beach.

The house itself was beautifully appointed with comfortable furnishings and modern amenities. The spacious living area provided ample room for relaxation, while the well-equipped kitchen made preparing meals a breeze. The bedrooms were cozy and inviting, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of sunbathing and swimming.

This was our second year staying at this property. The views are amazing and the house is clean and well maintained. We highly recommend this property. David, our host, was on top of communication with us. This year brought a lot of questions due to Francine making its way through the Gulf. We appreciate all of the help and advice he provided. We can not wait to book our next trip.

We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable, well-appointed property. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We enjoyed the front row access this property provides and the beautiful morning and evening views from the porch.

Overall our family really enjoyed our stay. The home is located right on the beach, you cannot get any better. We really enjoyed the quieter area of Gilchrist, although that may not be for everyone. The home was very nice and had all the amenities we needed. Our only reason for the 4 star review is due to the weather during our stay. We ended up without power for about 2 days, which is something we’ve learned can be common in the area. It definitely complicated things for us. The house only had 1 very dim flashlight. We had to go to the Big Store and buy a flashlight (which were very spendy), lighters, candles, cooler and ice. We lost all our freezer foods. Thankfully the rest of our family hadn’t arrived, otherwise the additional expense of going out to eat would have been a lot.

This was a great place to getaway for a few days. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Galveston area and I’m very impressed at the cleanliness of the beaches. This house was perfect and the deck was amazing for relaxing and listening to the waves. We will definitely return.

We are a group of ladies that have been vacationing on the beach since we were 50 years old. We're currently 70/71. Some of us even started first grade together. We love just hanging out on the porch or the beach. Shore Beats Work has a great porch and beautiful view of the beach! We love the house of course but the porch can't be beat!
