The access to the beach is awesome!
The communication with staff emails and text were great. The location is one of the best in Surfside and the place was clean besides the bath tub. We did enjoy our stay. Thank you.

We agree, this is quite the special seaside spot, thank you for noting! We appreciate the compliments and feedback. We hope to host you again in the future!

The place and location was as advertised. No frills, clean and perfect for a couple wanting a relaxed getaway from the city or from the Galveston crowds. Being literally on beach front was great for early morning walks to see the beautiful, peaceful sunrise! The area had a couple of beach front restaurants nearby with decent bar food and good selection of beers, fruity drinks and cocktails. A bit of a jaunt, but close enough so we did make a day trip to the seawall and downtown Galveston, with a stop at West End marina for lunch on the way. **Note** I intentionally wrote this last. The only caveat to unit #6 was the loud and obtrusive noises from the refrigerator when the condenser fan kicked in. It sounded like a dog whimpering loudly. Unfortunately this occurred throughout the day and night, even with the bedroom doors closed! This was the only disappointing thing and needs to be fixed!

Thank you for allowing us to host you and appreciate the compliments, helpful tips and suggestions for future guests, and feedback. We're sorry the refrigerator monster was acting up and had not heard any guests mention that before. However, the refrigerator has since been replaced. Much better for a quality night's sleep. Thank you again for staying with us!

I enjoyed my stay. The ocean front view was amazing. I was disappointed with the size, the photos made it appear larger, however it was adequate space. It seems most of my contact was automated, which I understand, though not ideal. I did make personal contact a couple of times and those received prompt responses. One was slight maintenance issue when I wasn’t quite bright enough to figure out the thermostat. The maintenance man, Daniel, arrived in minutes and was very helpful. He was very friendly as well. His conversation was one of the highlights of my visit. I would recommend it as a great place to stay.

We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the view, it is quite spectacular, we agree! We haven't had anyone mention the size before, but perhaps we can include a floorplan type image to help. We will pass along the compliments to Daniel. Thank you for allowing us to host you!

No frills. Worth the view! Bring food onto the island. Not much to eat other than gas station food. Worth every Penny for exactly what I needed.

We agree, it is amazing view and perfect spot for relaxing beachside! Glad your experience was exactly what you needed. As for restaurants, it is an island, but there are several ones within beach walking distance, Red Snapper, Beachfront, Seahorse and then Jetty Shack, Pier 30 and Dorado's just a quick drive away. Not sure if you checked any of those out.

Overall, this was a great location right on the beach. The water in the unit had a foul odor and the kitchen lacked some basic needs like a big skillet. Other than that it was perfect.

Me and my wife had a lovely stay at this beautiful property, right on the beach also not a very far walk to a nice little restaurant that had live music. Would definitely stay there again the next time we’re back in Texas.

Really enjoyed the view and the accommodations. Being able to walk out to the beach is priceless. The items in the kitchen were useful. Thank you for the basket of extra items and having sugar and coffee filters. Please add 4 hooks to the bathroom since we can't put wet towels on the floor. And the towel bar provided is loose. There was also a chair on the deck that is broken (Not by us).

The beach access is as promised. We enjoyed the peace of the beach and proximity to beachfront dining and drinks.

Great location but unit was not like the photos online. The kitchen was old and the cabinet doors were falling off the hinges. I wouldn't think of using the oven or stove, which had burners that were impossible to get placed into a position where you could set a pot or pan level. The bathroom was old, the bathtub had rust and shower head was terrible. The bed was clean and very comfortable, but the rest of the unit was substandard. There was a rotted plank on the front porch that someone could step through and get hurt if not careful. It was in a great location on the beach but it was not worth the price. I will not be staying there again. Sorry.
