This property lived up to the photos. The indoor spaces allowed our two families to spread out, but the highlight was the outdoor spaces. The pool, hot tub, pool table, and outdoor gathering space were well designed to provide everything our group could want for entertainment and relaxation when we were done at the beach! Due to the location in Galveston, I would strongly recommend a car or budgeting for ride share services.

House was warm and inviting as soon as we entered the door. Was able to check in early but unfortunately we didn’t make it in to be able to so but the option was there just as well as checking out, but we decided we needed to get on the road. If I could give a better rate I so would. Pool was warm, hot tub was hot and the pool table was the highlight of the stay. My teenagers loved it. House had everything you needed and then some. Would recommend stay again and again.

Very homey comfortable home that fulfilled all our needs. Well decorated, full stocked kitchen, soft comfy furniture. Despite the Hot tub being unavailable the pool was the main attraction! We loved the home n look forward to next summer!

It is obvious Kelly takes great pride in her VRBO. The home is clean and has everything you need for a home away from home vacation. She goes above and beyond to create the perfect home environment. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. The rating is well above a 10 out of 10. You can’t go wrong with this rental. And being on the island everything you need from groceries to gas is close by. Kelly is easily accessible. I can’t say enough great things about her and her rental. Worth every cent we paid.

We came to celebrate my brothers birthday with a nice guided fishing trip. My family and I had an amazing time. The pool felt amazing and the kids loved it. The house had plenty of room for all 9 of us to spread out and enjoy the home. Being able to enjoy the games on Sat while the kids swam was awesome. The home is in a great location. Fishing spots are a short drive away as well as Seawall blvd and all the other tourist spots. Would absolutely stay here again.

The house was very clean. Kelly was great to work with and answered any questions very quickly. She also let us know about local events like fireworks and the free movie at the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool. The pool table and outside seating areas were also very nice.

You only need to take food, this place is like walking in to your own home, everything you need is in this rental, no extra fees for linens or pool towels they have it all together.The pool, hot tub, screened in back and pool table all made for some beautiful memories, the owner was awesome, bbq grill, full of fuel, there was not one thing that we could have ask for that was not there,it even passed my inspection for cleanliness. We will be back.

My family and my brother’s family shared this house for my son’s wedding in Galveston. The pictures were true to life of the house; the house was wonderful and had everything we needed. It was close to everything. The weather wasn’t great that weekend but there was plenty to do at the house with the pool table and games. It was so nice to stay somewhere that had plenty of room for everyone. I will be booking this home again.

My friends and I absolutely adored the house!! Everything was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was a nice way to relax after the beach and in the evenings. We enjoyed spending time on the back porch chatting and sipping drinks. We came to celebrate my birthday and when we arrived there was goodies and balloons. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here and am already thinking about coming back. :)

This is truly a moment where you pull up to a nice cozy home, get inside and it takes you to paradise. The house is amazing, clean and has everything you could possibly need. Absolutely blow away. Now let’s move on to the spectacular back yard, takes you back to childhood dreams and memories. Me and my family will definitely be back. Five stars all the way. Kelly personally made sure everything was perfect. Thank you again for having me and my family.
