Absolutely gorgeous home. Right on the beach with stunning views. We felt like we were in paradise! The customer service was also impeccable. We will be back!!
Johanna W - Posted: 3/18/2025

We had 11 in our group and everyone had their own space. The living and kitchen area was very roomy. We were able to use the fireplace and that was very nice. Walking on the beach was a plus. We even got to enjoy the indoor pool.
Zoila L - Posted: 12/15/2024

The bones of the house were first rate for our family. The furnishings were also top rated but over halfway through their usable life. The mother in law suit was just not useable and altered our plans for sleeping arrangements and caused confusion and inconvenience.
David G - Posted: 12/1/2024

Big beautiful house well maintained. 3 fantastic decks. Awesome views. Well equipped kitchen. Suite on the bottom floor is fantastic, though more rustic/rough than the rest of the house, with a slightly musty smell. Hosts were extremely responsive. While the kitchen was well stocked with cooking and serving utensils and multiple wine and beer refrigerators. It would be great if consumables like spices, foil/saran wrap, sweeteners etc were stocked as well.
Michael K - Posted: 9/15/2024

We absolutely loved the location and the house . The storm had damaged the deck railing and the walkway access to the beach so we had to watch our young kids more than if the repairs had been done as indicated by the our vacay host Overall experience was great and would love to return next time

Jen was very responsive, even during the busy July 4th weekend with a hurricane on its way. The house was wonderful and we enjoyed our time.

Laura B - Posted: 6/26/2024

We used this property for a small corporate gathering. It was perfect! I was able to connect with the host before booking to describe our gathering and ensure that met the rules of the house. They assured me that it did, and it was a beautiful, relaxing space for our team. We were able to work and play all in one place! The outdoor seating is a dream both from a view perspective as well as the variety of seating available. The kitchen is fantastically stocked with everything you could want or need. Plenty of beach towels, linens, and bathroom supplies (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.). The furniture was comfy and inviting. Galveston in June is hot, but they had the AC cranking. It was cool and comfortable and a fantastic respite from the heat after a day of fun. Whether you're looking for a place for your family and friends or a small work gathering, this is the place, and the host is just fabulous to work with! I highly reocmmend!

Our family stayed here for a long weekend for my son's graduation. The house is beautiful. 5 families were able to stay here comfortably. The house had plenty of room to spread out. The indoor pool was a great alternative since it rained one day during our stay, and the kids could swim. The first day was a little rough because none of the outdoor lights were working, and the balcony glass railing was broken and covered with plywood, so our view of the ocean was blocked when sitting outside. However, Vacay Time quickly responded, and they had maintenance people out there the next day to troubleshoot. VacayTime also compensated me for the inconvenience. Overall, the stay was memorable, and I would definitely stay in this house again.

A step into Paradise

A step into Paradise is exactly what it says. The house is absolutely beautiful Inside and out. A very short walk down a pier to the beach from the back porch. we were there to celebrate a birthday, and also ended up celebrating an engagement also! In my eyes, it was a little pricey, but by far the best house we have ever stayed in Galveston and worth every penny. We had nine people staying in the house and there was a whole lot more room. We could’ve had more people. But we had a very lovely time. We enjoyed the beach, The ocean waters, the pool waters, and some of the sites around town. I would recommend this house to everyone

This house is amazing! This is our third time staying at this house because we absolutely love it. The quiet beach and beautiful sunsets and sun rises keep us coming back. The house decor is impeccably done and it feels more like you are staying a someone's house instead of a rental house. All of the personal touches and amenities are there. We will be back again!

Pros - Nice place, quiet & private beach - Ample of space for groups - Most of what you need is available including cookware Cons - Not really customer oriented. They could really improve in this area. I asked for an early check in/late check out well in advance, and was told that they could let me know a day in advance. How can anyone plan for that? - Did not want to alter my dates without charging me more. Even though there were no bookings before/after mine. - 10am checkout: Hotels and other ABNBs have a 11am or noon check out. They did not want to change that either EVEN though they had no bookings when I inquired multiple times. A bit greedy & money focused. - Need to fix the ladder in the pool, it's cracked & unstable when getting in the water - Water on the floor in loft and odor - No instructions on how to work all the lights in the house (quite a few) or how to open the doors to the pool, had to ask & it's manual & rusty so be careful. Note: Many other options nearby

Thank you for sharing your perspective, and we appreciate your feedback. However, we would like to address some inaccuracies in your recent review. You were graciously offered an early check-in at 12 pm on the day of your arrival and a late checkout at 4 pm on the day of departure. Your request to Vacay Time, seeking to cancel one night to accommodate a 2 am check-in, effectively amounted to a 14-hour early check-in. Our policies are in place to ensure a seamless experience for all guests, and adhering to these guidelines allows our team to conduct thorough inspections and set access codes appropriately. Your assertion regarding the presence of other guests is not relevant in this context, as your request for a full day stay, both well before and after the standard check-in and check-out times, necessitated careful consideration. We aim to be accommodating, but it is crucial to balance flexibility with practicality. It is our commitment to transparency that led us to communicate the necessity of adhering to the established timelines. Your threat to cancel if we did not comply unfortunately taints the accuracy of your review, as it appears to be a retaliatory response to an unfavorable answer. As responsible hosts, we provided information promptly through the system and personally assisted you during your stay, demonstrating our dedication to ensuring a positive experience. The positive feedback from guests prior to and after your stay attests to the quality of our service and accommodations. We take guest feedback seriously and will address any safety concerns you have raised. It's important to note that factors such as the water on the floor were explained during your stay as a weather-related issue, with a prompt offer to provide additional towels to mitigate the situation. We value your input and will continue to uphold our commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Sincerely, Jen CEO Vacay Time

The positive feedback from guests prior to and after your stay attests to the quality of our service and accommodations. We take guest feedback seriously and will address any safety concerns you have raised. It's important to note that factors such as the water on the floor were explained during your stay as a weather-related issue, with a prompt offer to provide additional towels to mitigate the situation. We value your input and will continue to uphold our commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Sincerely, Jen CEO Vacay Time

I've gotta say, you cannot beat a house on the water. But to have a house this beautiful and well decorated is a plus, plus! We made wonderful memories and truly enjoyed our weekend stay. The kids constantly talk about going back. I sure hope the owners keep the pricing attainable. I foresee this house being booked quite often. Cleanliness was a 5/5, view and location 5/5, decor 5/5, host 5/5. We did run into a snag during our stay, which was addressed. Communication with the host was key, she responded right away and worked with us. Highly recommend staying here - can't wait for our next visit!

The only reason I would not write something nice would be so someone else would not rent the place when I would want to go. I've rented a lot of places in Galveston. This one is my favorite.

We had 11 in our group and everyone had their own space. The living and kitchen area was very roomy. We were able to use the fireplace and that was very nice. Walking on the beach was a plus. We even got to enjoy the indoor pool.

The bones of the house were first rate for our family. The furnishings were also top rated but over halfway through their usable life. The mother in law suit was just not useable and altered our plans for sleeping arrangements and caused confusion and inconvenience.

Big beautiful house well maintained. 3 fantastic decks. Awesome views. Well equipped kitchen. Suite on the bottom floor is fantastic, though more rustic/rough than the rest of the house, with a slightly musty smell. Hosts were extremely responsive. While the kitchen was well stocked with cooking and serving utensils and multiple wine and beer refrigerators. It would be great if consumables like spices, foil/saran wrap, sweeteners etc were stocked as well.

We absolutely loved the location and the house . The storm had damaged the deck railing and the walkway access to the beach so we had to watch our young kids more than if the repairs had been done as indicated by the our vacay host Overall experience was great and would love to return next time

We used this property for a small corporate gathering. It was perfect! I was able to connect with the host before booking to describe our gathering and ensure that met the rules of the house. They assured me that it did, and it was a beautiful, relaxing space for our team. We were able to work and play all in one place! The outdoor seating is a dream both from a view perspective as well as the variety of seating available. The kitchen is fantastically stocked with everything you could want or need. Plenty of beach towels, linens, and bathroom supplies (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.). The furniture was comfy and inviting. Galveston in June is hot, but they had the AC cranking. It was cool and comfortable and a fantastic respite from the heat after a day of fun. Whether you're looking for a place for your family and friends or a small work gathering, this is the place, and the host is just fabulous to work with! I highly reocmmend!

Our family stayed here for a long weekend for my son's graduation. The house is beautiful. 5 families were able to stay here comfortably. The house had plenty of room to spread out. The indoor pool was a great alternative since it rained one day during our stay, and the kids could swim. The first day was a little rough because none of the outdoor lights were working, and the balcony glass railing was broken and covered with plywood, so our view of the ocean was blocked when sitting outside. However, Vacay Time quickly responded, and they had maintenance people out there the next day to troubleshoot. VacayTime also compensated me for the inconvenience. Overall, the stay was memorable, and I would definitely stay in this house again.

A step into Paradise is exactly what it says. The house is absolutely beautiful Inside and out. A very short walk down a pier to the beach from the back porch. we were there to celebrate a birthday, and also ended up celebrating an engagement also! In my eyes, it was a little pricey, but by far the best house we have ever stayed in Galveston and worth every penny. We had nine people staying in the house and there was a whole lot more room. We could’ve had more people. But we had a very lovely time. We enjoyed the beach, The ocean waters, the pool waters, and some of the sites around town. I would recommend this house to everyone

This house is amazing! This is our third time staying at this house because we absolutely love it. The quiet beach and beautiful sunsets and sun rises keep us coming back. The house decor is impeccably done and it feels more like you are staying a someone's house instead of a rental house. All of the personal touches and amenities are there. We will be back again!

Fantastic location and views right on the beach! Easy check in and great communication before and throughout the trip. Newly remodeled and great layout. We’d stay again for sure.

Pros - Nice place, quiet & private beach - Ample of space for groups - Most of what you need is available including cookware Cons - Not really customer oriented. They could really improve in this area. I asked for an early check in/late check out well in advance, and was told that they could let me know a day in advance. How can anyone plan for that? - Did not want to alter my dates without charging me more. Even though there were no bookings before/after mine. - 10am checkout: Hotels and other ABNBs have a 11am or noon check out. They did not want to change that either EVEN though they had no bookings when I inquired multiple times. A bit greedy & money focused. - Need to fix the ladder in the pool, it's cracked & unstable when getting in the water - Water on the floor in loft and odor - No instructions on how to work all the lights in the house (quite a few) or how to open the doors to the pool, had to ask & it's manual & rusty so be careful. Note: Many other options nearby
