Travis was a super responsive host and his place was exactly as described. He even gave us a few recommendations for the area and was incredibly helpful for everyone staying at the property. We'll certainly be staying with Travis the next time we're in Galveston!

ENTIRE HOUSE, WALK TO THE BEACH

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviews4 days ago

We loved Brad’s home. The house looked even better in person. The location of the property is perfect, we drove to the beach since we have young children, but you could walk easily as well. The home was very well appointed with abundant towels and toiletries. The kitchen was well stocked as well. The bonus room upstairs is perfect for children, our kids loved hanging out up there. Brad was a very responsive host and communicated quickly. All in all, I would definitely book this home again.

Coastal Retreat for 9 Guests!

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews6 days ago

I recently stayed at an Airbnb and had a great experience overall. The booking process was super simple, and the host was very responsive and friendly. The space looked exactly like the photos—clean, cozy, and well-stocked with essentials. I especially appreciated the little touches like, local guides, and fast Wi-Fi. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the neighborhood was quiet but close to restaurants and shops. It felt more personal and comfortable than a hotel, and I liked having a kitchen and living space to relax in.

Beach View Get Away & New Hot Tub

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 63 reviews1 month ago

Great place to stay at a great price! My kids love a good hot tub on vaca so it was so nice to have and the basketball game upstairs they thoroughly enjoyed as well. They had their own bathroom and we had ours which was great. Loved that the beach access was walkable and we could drive as well and easy parking, not crowded at all. The beach was cleaner and nice and sand felt great. Loved the additional beach toys and chairs at the house. This neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful and would have been nice to run or walk it if we had any down time but we had too much fun from sun up to sun down.

Pet Friendly VIEWS 4 min to Beach New Listing

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews2 weeks ago

This is my favorite place we’ve ever rented and we’ve rented a LOT of places. First of all, beautifully decorated, great artwork, thoughtful use of space, comfortable and very clean. We enjoyed wine and coffee in the crystal stemware and cooking in the nicely appointed kitchen. Most places have a hodgepodge of glasses and mismatched silverware. Not so here. Felt like home! And we appreciate the details!
