The place was fabulous! I would highly recommend if you're heading to Galveston. There were so many added touches that were not even expected! The outdoor area was probably our favorite. My grandkids could swim in the heated pool while we watched football and baseball.

Our group of eight stayed here for the Galveston Sandcastle Fest and had a great experience. The house was clean, spacious, and had plenty of room for everyone. The pool was a perfect bonus for relaxing after the long work-day at the beach. Location made it easy to get around, parking was simple, and check-in was smooth. The host was responsive and helpful—overall, a comfortable and convenient stay we’d HAPPILY book again.

We absolutely love these homes!! Andy goes above and beyond to accommodate your needs! He is always just a message away. He is also updating them. (Although they really don’t need to be) I promise you will love both homes, your experience and host. You will not be disappointed! This was our second time and will definitely go back! Thanks again Andy!! You are the best!!

This was a great airbnb. The main house was spacious and the additional house on the property was really beneficial for our family that had a baby and needed the extra space. The house had lots of yard games and was surprisingly very toddler friendly. The host was quick to respond and made sure we had everything we needed.

This was the perfect setting for a special family vacation. We loved the accommodations-homey, comfortable, and well-appointed. The pool and outdoor spaces were the icing on the cake! The location was convenient to the beach and restaurants as well.
