Andy was an outstanding host! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and exactly as described. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared, making our stay incredibly enjoyable. Andy was responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. You can truly tell he cares about providing a great experience for his guests. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Andy’s place to anyone looking for a wonderful Airbnb experience!

This home is even better than the pictures! It's clear that not only was it remodeled with the utmost precision, it was appointed just the same. Every detail was considered in design & function, & the thoughtfulness in setup made entertaining feel intuitive. It's not one nice couch, & a high-end fridge; it's carefully-considered design to provoke immersion in coastal neighborhood living. The pool + decked bar area deserve a review of their own, whether for watching the game, bbq, or reading quietly in the shade. If the beach is calling, there's everything you could imagine for under the sun + wagon. After the day is done, & you've watched the sun set over the neighborhood from the cushioned window seat, you'll end your beach joy in the incredible master shower. High pressure/temp with dim lighting to enjoy the beautiful tilework. Bed + bedding luxurious just like the rest of the place. Gracious host in every way, even some Crumbl cookies for my birthday! Will inevitably return!!

Wow! We can’t say enough good things about this house. The heated pool kept our kiddos occupied and happy every day. Beach and pool toys and extra activities like ping pong and score four helped make it an excellent family destination. The house is gorgeous and very comfortable, highly recommended for any group. In the area we loved the Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, the Strand, and the beach. What a memorable Spring Break trip. Andy was super helpful and responsive when we contacted him regarding a minor issue. Don’t hesitate to book this house for your trip!

Amenities were a plus for us , Andy has some amazing games inside and outside the house . House is just like the pictures, decor is beautiful, super clean. Definitely we will be back. Thank you Andy for everything.

We had such a great stay here! The location was absolutely phenomenal and made everything so easy and enjoyable. The home was the perfect size for our family (including a 2-year-old and a 1-month-old), and it truly had everything we needed for a comfortable week. We’re already looking forward to coming back! Also, we accidentally left behind my daughter’s Apple Watch and didn’t even realize it. Andy was incredibly helpful and quickly shipped it back to us we’re so grateful for that extra care. Highly recommend!

Gulf Haven was exactly what we were looking for! Andy keeps his house very tidy, with lots of games and outside features, we were right at home! This house was rented for a VERY chill bachelorette party, and that’s what we did! We stayed in the pool for 3 days straight, enjoyed the outside game amenities and lounged! The pool was never too hot and never too cold. The perfect place to feel secluded and enjoy your surroundings. Andy recommended restaurants and activities and we enjoyed them after the sun was down! We did have one chirping fire alarm, and after telling Andy the problem was immediately fixed and resolved within the hour. I greatly appreciate the care, the communication and overall attention to detail Andy had over the entire home while making us feel relaxed, and stress off of us. Thank you Andy, we will be back soon to enjoy this luxurious space!

We stayed at the house over spring break and it was exactly what we were looking for. It was close to the beach, and also had plenty of things to keep us entertained at the house with the pool, games, etc. They truly thought of everything to make it a perfect getaway. This was our favorite property we have stayed, and we highly recommend it!! We will definitely stay here again!!!
