Nice long weekend trip

Property is lovely, clean and fully equipped, nice location and view. Christine is very helpful and answered my questions quickly. My kids enjoyed the kayaking and fishing. The only thing I didn’t pay attention but found out later is that one bedroom is downstairs.

Great views and place

We really enjoyed this house. We live close by and rent bay houses often when things are going on. We brought our mother who loved the peacefulness and we paddle boarded all over (even in our 40s) and had the best time. Will stay again!

Our go-to house for summer vacation!

We have stayed here previously and were excited to return because the house fits our multi-generational family perfectly and the amenities there are wonderful. We love the paddle boards and kayaks and fishing in the canal. The owner was very communicative!! She is super kind and always helpful. We love the island, especially this house, and can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Senior Surprise

Several moms wanted to give our daughters a weekend to remember after their senior prom. This was the house we settled on. The space was cozy - enough for some privacy but with supervision. Very clean and updated! Christine was extremely nice and responsive - and excited for and our journey! She was like family by the end lol. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect Getaway

This house was one of the best places he have rented in Galveston. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The kids and adults had so much fun on the paddle boards, and kayaks and fishing. So much room outside for relaxing. Some family came for the day and enjoyed it as well. My only disappointment was that the under water green light was not working, but that was no big deal because we had the best time. Thank you Christine for allowing us to use your home!

Turtle haven

The house was really nice. It fit our family of 10 comfortably. Had plenty of pots, pans, utensils and spices to cook family meals. The house was clean but some of the beddings had quite a bit of stains however they had plenty extra sheets to change. They provided everything to keep our family busy. The kids loved the kayak and SUP. The homeowners even had a crab trap that the kids caught crabs in! We would stay here again.

Absolutely amazing!!

We absolutely loved this property! We rented it for prom - so my twins, a friend and his mom! The furnishings are perfect and comfortable! I love the open concept kitchen, living and dining area! The beds were super comfy! The only negative - the smoke detector went off as I was getting out of the shower! The plunger was the perfect length to turn it off!! Lol! Just showered with the door cracked after that! I would definitely rent this property again!!

Lovely stay

We came to Galveston for a memorial for a friend that passed suddenly. The weekend was already not going to be easy, but on top of that a storm hit and flooded a lot of the area. Christine’s home was unfortunately one of those. She was immediately in contact with me and kept me in the loop of what was going on. She didn’t cancel our reservation and left it completely up to me. Luckily the waters receded and we were able to stay in her beautiful home. Her maintenance man had made sure everything was in order, clean and safe for us when we arrived. The location was wonderful, the home is very spacious, she had everything we needed for our stay there and we had a wonderful time despite the circumstances. Hopefully we can return and stay here for an actual vacation soon.

Fabulous!

We loved the place. Great kitchen opened to the living area. It made us want to cook. The spacious deck over the canals provided a lovely view of the sunset. Downstairs covered outside area level with the canals was a haven from the sun and wind.. We did not want to leave.
