Beachfront Condo w/ Safe Access to Sand & Pool
Mary's place was a really great value and was perfect for what we needed on this trip. We liked being able to watch our teens from the balcony and they liked being able to walk to the beach on their own. It felt very safe.

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.

Beachfront first row home with swim spa
The house is gorgeous and it has the most amazing views. Sunrise from the master bedroom windows was the highlight of each morning. The owners were helpful and very responsive - we had one or two small issues at checkin that they handled immediately. We loved the closet of board games! The area is quiet and there is only one grocery store but it had everything we needed. We didn’t go to any local restaurants. A few things to consider: the listing says 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. This is true but one bedroom and bathroom is in an apartment downstairs so it wouldn’t be good for kids. It is a longer walk than it appears to the beach. It was fine for me and the kids but would’ve been way too far for someone with mobility challenges. The kitchen wasn’t as stocked as I had hoped (no real glass wine glasses, only plastic, not a lot of silverware, short supply of spatulas etc). Finally, there were no amenities for the beach, no buckets or shovels, no beach towels, so pack your own.

Beachfront | Private Swim Spa | Pet Friendly
We had a fabulous time at the Dunes! We’ve been to several AirBnB’s across the country, and our whole family really enjoyed this one. It was easy, fun, convenient, and right on the water! The hot tub and amenities were top notch. Hosts were responsive, kind and helpful. Sleeping was comfortable. The beach access is a differentiator! Incredible being able to walk right out to your own beach. We would come back!

Blessed be the Beach
Our family loved this condo right on the water with beautiful views of the Gulf! Sandra was helpful and responsive, she even brought extra toys for the kids to play with! I would definitely recommend this listing!

Joyful beach house w/pool & tub
We had a fantastic stay. The pool was great to have and was very private from any neighbors. The home has a lot of great dining options nearby which we enjoyed. The house was beautiful and was a great place for a family vacation.

Pets~Hot tub~Steps from Beach~Family Friendly
We enjoyed our time here. Ratna provided great information leading up to our arrival. I was glad she mentioned the busy beach - I would have been disappointed if I thought we were going to be on a secluded, traffic-free street. Lots of beach traffic!

Portofino Seaside Escape
The house was just as described. We enjoyed relaxing in the home and on the porch. We also enjoyed restaurants nearby. The hot tub was a nice place to relax even while it was raining due to the huge covered patio.

Large 5bd Hot Tub w Ocean View, Firepit & Gameroom
Great house steps from the beach. Something to note if traveling with a group the upstairs is a loft and the noise from the kids room upstairs travels. Host was friendly and helpful. A couple of minor issues that would make it a nicer stay but overall great for our family getaway.

Boat Dock, Hot Tub, Kayaks, EV, Dog friendly, King
House was great, area was beautiful and quiet. very nice home, will be coming back. previous guest took some amenities that Curtis was unaware of. Curtis drove 3 hours immediately to drop off new hair dryers for the girls as soon as I let him know. The beach is beautiful and close, fishing is great, food is amazing, and the Island is incredible.

Beachfront, hot tub, pool table, views
Great spot for Galveston getaway - quiet and private area, terrific house with hot tub and pool table a big hit. Super well equipped kitchen made the stay really enjoyable. Will absolutely book again.

Seaside Retreat Hot Tub Oceanview Secluded Beach
We had such a lovely stay! Mary the host was so friendly and helpful, and very quick to respond to all of our questions. The home was well stocked and had beach supplies to use. We loved the private hot tub, was very clean and great after a long day at the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

The Pirate's Canary (Beachfront)
Great house, lovely location. Nice and close to downtown Galveston, easy to access grocery and other needs. Kitchen had everything we needed, and we cooked quite a bit. Beds were extremely comfortable, communication was great!

Seaside Escape: Beautiful, Spacious, Peaceful
We had a great time at this nice beach side property. It was very clean, spacious and had great ocean views although it was not a beach front property. It felt very safe in the nights. The walk to the beach was short (just about 5 mins) and there is also a private access to the beach. We enjoyed the bbq grill. Overall, the stay was awesome and we wish we had stayed longer.

Mermaid Manor 1st row on the beach, dog friendly!
The mermaid Manor was everything me and my family expected and more . Very peaceful private and spacious home. Loved the fact that the home was right behind the beach. The host was very responsive. Quick to reply back to any questions I had and making sure we enjoyed are stay . Perfect getaway for the entire family.

Beautiful Beachfront Home - Whitecaps Beach House!
The house was right on the beach. Really enjoyed the access. Beds were very comfy. Plenty of spaces for us to spread out. Plenty to do in the area.

Just Beachy at the Pass- Beachfront property
Location, location, location. This was perfect for us to spend time in both Galveston and Freeport. The peace and privacy of this place were perfect. Just a few steps to the beach it was great. Melanie and Daryl

Surfside Beach Direct beachfront with great views
Nice house with a great view , the different style makes it stand out from the other houses on the beach . Made it easy for us to find the house when we would go out . Very spacious as well would definitely come again

Breathtaking Beachfront Beauty*Sleeps 15*tiki bar
