Pelican Haven
The condo was amazing. Fully stocked with everything you could need. Big screen TV's in every room. Kitchen had upgraded appliances. Little personal touches here and there like makeup remover wipes in the bathrooms and binoculars to enjoy while sitting on the balcony. Board games and cards to use. Nesia was a wonderful hostess and very responsive. We truly enjoyed our weekend getaway.

Upscale Waterfront Condo on beautiful Clear Lake!
We absolutely loved Tracy’s space! It was immaculate upon check-in. It had everything we needed to make meals at home. Tracy was very responsive and great to talk to. Her patio was our absolute favorite ❤️ we utilized it everyday in the mornings with coffee, and at night with a night cap. The breezes were great and the sounds of the water were serene. It was a very nice quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We felt right at home. We will most definitely be returning next year.

Oceanview Beachfront 2/2 Sleeps Six-Free WiFi
The beachfront location was perfect! This was a great home base for our exploration of the Galveston area. We would definitely stay again.

Pre Summer discount - Oceanfront Bliss, 2bd/2bath,
This was the perfect place for my mom to sit on the porch and watch the waves. Also the master bedroom had a wonderful sitting window with great views. My mom is already asking me when I can bring her back for more wave therapy. My mom uses a walker and building was easy for her navigate in the unit and outside. Looking forward to booking again.

Sol Destination
Christiana’s condo was perfect for our long Easter weekend. We didn’t spent much time in the condo but we enjoyed having a pool and hot tub on site and took full advantage. We also enjoyed the large variety of board games. The unit is as advertised and was very clean. I loved that they also had spices if we wanted to cook. It’s a very convenient location right across from the beach as well. Would highly recommend.

Luxury High-Rise | Stunning View | Discovery Green
We had a fantastic stay at Eddie’s place! It was spotless and very cozy, making it feel like home. Eddie was incredibly responsive and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a smooth stay. They even allowed an early check-in and provided airport pickup, which was a huge convenience. The location was just minutes away from the convention center, making it super easy to get to my events. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay with a wonderful host.

Quiet Family Bayhouse with Great Fishing Pier
Evan is one of Best Air b&b host. Home was great as like photo and description. Quiet lovely place. best for private fishing. Will comeback when I get a Vacation again.

Home on the Beach + 2 Kayaks and 2 Paddle Boards!
I highly recommend John's place for your next stay. The spacious, fenced-in yard and well-equipped, generously sized home exceeded our expectations. Every detail was carefully considered, ensuring a comfortable stay for our family with no complaints. The view was incredible with the beach just steps away, and we cannot wait to return!

Houston Riverfront Cabin Retreat
Mariana's place was beautiful and served my team well. It was spacious and had all the amenities we were looking for. Thanks for sharing your home.

Fishermans Paradise
The house was very nice and cozy for our family! Had a little issue and the host was quick to respond and make it right moments later! We will for sure be back, lots of crab off the pier we were able to have a crab boil & they supplied the boiler which was amazing!

Canal Home w/Boat Slip, Elevator & Golf Cart
Jeff's home is absolutely beautiful!! The deck overlooking the canal with high end outdoor furniture is the place to be. Time & attention was taken in creating this retreat. As a designer I was impressed! What's even better is how easy it is to work with Jeff! He is very kind, accommodating, and communicative. We had special needs (specifically for the elevator) and when he learned there was a problem with it prior to our arrival that day, he already had a repairman on the way and resolved it very quickly. It is obvious that Jeff cares about his guests!

Touch of Paradise
Todd & Millie’s home was just perfect for our Family Thanksgiving. Very spacious kitchen. The house has wonderful outdoor seating. Loved all the swings. Todd & Millie were very responsive when we needed help. Overall great experience.

Livin’ the Highland Life
Absolutely beautiful house and location. It has been perfect for our family and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Pier Paradise- Beachfront, Ocean View!
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.

GalvestonAirBnB Beachfront Rental
Loved the space! Great for the kids. The pools were clean and welcoming. The house was spotless.

Cozy Conch- a beachfront condo with all amenities
We loved the location. The beach was beautiful, so great to be able to walk right onto the beach from the complex. Moody Gardens is just a short drive away. The condo was clean and welcoming. My teen slept on the pull out couch and was comfortable. Walter was very proactive and guided us through every step. We had everything we needed, wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely like to come back for a future stay.

Beach Front-Pickleball 2bd-2ba-King bd-W&D-Hot Tub
Angie’s place was great and exactly as described. The exterior of the complex could use some TLC but her unit is perfect. We enjoyed the view from the balcony for evening drinks and morning coffee. We were only there for two quick nights but it has everything you would need for a full week beach vacation. It was lovely and we will probably be back as our daughter is based in and out of Galveston on Carnival.

Aah-mazing Beach Retreat with Ocean & Pool views
Perfect stay! View from the balcony is great, place was clean and easy to check in and walk to places. Would stay here again!

Seascape Condo Resort 1Bedroom/1bath Beachfront
Love the place. Perfect for our family of 4. Nice beach and the pool area. Perfect location not too close but not too far from the touristic area

Galveston’s Gem
We had a fantastic stay in Galveston at Sandra Lee’s condo! From the moment we booked, Sandra was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with—she always replied quickly and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth experience. The condo itself was perfect for our trip. It was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with all the essentials. The views were absolutely amazing—we loved sitting out and taking in the scenery. It really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Galveston. We’d definitely stay here again!

1/1 Beach custom condo 2 pools updated over pool
Our stay at this condo was excellent. The unit was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully organized, making for a very comfortable experience. Its location is ideal—conveniently situated near a variety of restaurants, attractions, and local points of interest. Overall, it served as a perfect home base for our visit. We would certainly choose to stay here again in the future.
