Andy was very communicative and easy to reach when we had questions. The place was great, and had a lot of creature comforts to make us feel at home. I appreciated the timeliness in responding to messages and working with my family upon arrival, and it made a world of difference so the kids could start playing right away.

We all really enjoyed our stay! We were traveling with 8, never felt cramped at all. The outdoor space and pool were perfect. Well decorated, comfortable, easy beach access. Andy was very responsive and helpful. Seamless check in. Would 100% recommend for anyone traveling with a group. We will be staying here again on our future trips to Galveston.

Andy is a great host with a beautiful home. This was great last trip before school starts for our girls. Andy's home is clean & well laid out. The outdoor area is great and the pool was very nice and clean. Our girls loved every minute they were in it. Andy is very proactive and made sure we had everything that we needed to make our stay perfect.

The house met all our needs - clean and very well stocked. It was great that we could walk to the beach, and Andy even has a pass that allows guests to park and visit the local beach for free! This was an extra amenity that we did not expect but greatly appreciated. The neighborhood was very quiet but there are many great restaurants within a short distance. Andy was also a great host, very responsive before and during our stay. Highly recommend Andy's place!

Andy was on-point and amazing! My family and I enjoyed the clean house which was walking distance from the seawall and the pool was amazing. Any questions that we had Andy was so responsive. We take a family vacation with all of my family each year to Galveston so the kids can enjoy family time with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. We will be back Andy! 10 out of 10 in my books!

We stayed at Andy’s place with our boys (4 & 7) and my parents (72). The boys loved the pool and we all loved the outdoor spaces. Everything is well designed to maximize space. The house was perfect and all areas were extremely clean. The walk to the beach was much quicker and easier than we expected. We loved everything about our stay in Galveston. Andy is a terrific host, who truly wants to make your experience perfect. He is very responsive and accommodating. If given the opportunity we would 100% choose this property again. With the myriad of choices in Galveston we were glad we chose Andy’s.
