Short trip to make memories for husband on hospice

Everything was great. We didn’t get to stay our whole trip but would come back again. Some areas were not as clean as I would have liked to see but overall was a great stay.

Wonderful stay in Galveston

The place was amazing. Really enjoyed staying at this property with my family. We were here for our Granddaughters gymnastics competition. The property was perfect location, only five minutes away from the gymnastics at convention center. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Gareth and Chastidy.

Great place

Fantastic place, wish we had more time to stay, just a quick fishing trip this go around. The house was conveniently located and maintained very well. Only thing I would suggest is to bring your own pillows if you prefer a firm one, and bug spray if you’re going down by the water. ( I had half the blood sucked out of my body!) Other than that, everything was perfect

Amazing stay!

Great place to relax after our busy city visits, was located in a quiet neighbourhood just a short drive to the beach. The layout suited our family and the outside areas were lovely to relax in and enjoy the lake and sunshine. Would definitely use again if we visit Galveston in the future.

A Perfect Stay

We booked this house because it was close to where we are keeping our floats for the Mardi Gras parades. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The home was clean and as stated for amenities, space, etc. Of course, the added perk is the deck and being able to sit out on the water. Unfortunately, we had quite a bit of rain, but made the most of it anyway. We love to cook on our stays and the kitchen was supplied with enough of everything to make this a success. The 10 of us were comfortable and not tripping over each other. Best of all the host, Gareth was readily available to answer questions and was very pleasant in all our interactions. Absolutely perfect! We are staying again next weekend!!!

The best spot in Galveston

This place is quite literally the best spot in Galveston. It's not far from the strand or from the beach and the neighborhood is very inviting and relaxing. The deck is wonder full and the house is great for bigger groups. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Galveston.

Great Place!

Very nice house on the lake. Equipped with a washer and dryer and stocked with necessities, such as toilet paper and paper towels. Plenty of dishes to cook with, has a dishwasher and pods were available. Lots of towels. Beds were really comfy, very nice master bedroom. Desk is amazing, has gas and charcoal grill. House stays at a cool temperature for the hot summer! All TV apps available on T.V to log into. A few beach towels were available and we left a boogie board 😂! Close to the beach and Pleasure Pier.

Graduation

Beauty on the Water was the perfect vacation house for my family (6 adults) to relax after my daughter's graduation at Moody Gardens Convention Center. It is a very nice house with plenty of space. My only regret is we did not rent it for a longer time.

Perfect house on the canal to enjoy the water and relax

We stayed during the week, the house is gorgeous, clean & perfect for a relaxing vacation right on the canal with easy access to the bay. This house has a lovely large master bedroom, with two rooms upstairs with two full beds in each room. We caught a redfish & a few speckled trout right off the dock where we kept our boat during our time there. The location is very quiet & we will definitely come back in the future.

This place rocked.

We decided last minute to spend time in Galveston to celebrate a family birthday and we’re lucky enough to Hager this place. It was warm, inviting, clean, well landscaped, fantastic back patio area. We were all relaxed when we left. Thank you Gareth for helping us make it a fabulous weekend. Only downside is Chiefs lost … but can’t hold that against them ; ).

Wonderful, beautiful views. Nice neighborhood

This home is everything the pictures show plus more. The master bedroom was huge, with a big bathroom with nice jacuzzi style tub with jets and a separate shower. The outside area is even better with 2 decks.

Spacious, great location

The house has ample room to accommodate a larger party. We stayed with only 2 adults and 2 kids + our dog. The kids loved having room options! We loved the decks and water location. It’s close to Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, and the beach. Parking is easy. The neighborhood is safe. Recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Beautiful home on the water

The name of this property is 100% correct. It is an oasis. Check-in was easy, the home is beautiful, and everything we needed was available, from comfortable beds to plenty of towels and coffee. The views from the deck are beautiful - I loved having coffee every morning and watching the fish jump. Would definitely book again!

Quiet enclave

Stayed one night. Location suitably convenient for quick access to the seawall and nearby attractions. Property met the needs of our group of 10. Master bed very comfortable, upstairs beds to the left could use better mattress and sheets. The sheets had funny smell, as if they remained in the washing machine too long before being put into a dryer. That's minor, and far as I know, it didn't take away from the enchanted time and memories enjoyably created. My family is pleased with the experience. We didn't have problem with neighbors nor were we problems to the neighbors but be aware, it's a quiet-serene-enclave. I wouldn't suggest acquiring for super high energy/high traffic event.

WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD BEDBUG

Ive stayed in Galveston numerous times in several beach homes. This was the worst experience I've ever had renting a beach home. Upon arriving the lawn wasn't maintained like the pictures 2. Dishwasher had the house smelling like something died, with tons of flies all over the place. 3. Upon inspecting the beds, found a bedbug. 4. No curtains and furniture is in need of cleaning and replaced. 4. Food all in the chairs dining room chair's. Owner is not as welcoming as others that we've rented from at all. This was a nightmare! I had to take at least 1 hr trying to kill all of the flies, this was suppose to be a vacation. Paid for 3 nights and only was there for 2hrs at the most after discovering the BEDBUG. NOW IM HAVING A TIME GETTING MY DEPOSIT AND MY RENTAL FEE BACK.

Nice Overnight Getaway

Our church decided to take our youth girls on an overnight getaway. We went to Schlitterbahn for the day and then stayed at the beach house for the night to have a fun girls night. The house was literally right across the street from Schlitterbahn, it was beautiful, perfect fit for all of us, clean, and smelled amazing. The only small complaint were there were quite a few crawling insect encounters, but it also wasn't totally unexpected because we were staying right on the lake. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking here again in the future!

We would happily stay here over and over again!’
-Josie stayed April 2022
