Spacious and clean

Our group of four families stayed for a dance competition on the island. The home was immaculate. Everyone had their own bathrooms, plenty of beds for everyone and lots of space to spread out. The neighborhood is quiet and while it feels far from everything, was never really more than 10-15 mins from where we needed to be. We liked being away from the craziness of seawall and crowds. Plenty of parking and room for “stuff”. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful, Spacious and Clean

Wow! This place exceeded my expectations! A great place to house multiple families! Every room had their own bathroom! A tucked away gem! Beautiful home with a lot of space. My only complaint would be that they only provided one pack and play and with a home that big you are bound to need more with multiple families. I reached out hoping that they would be willing to invest in another one but they didn’t. So we had to bring several even though we only needed them for one night as we were going on a cruise the remaining week.

Overall good experience

Place was nice and in a nice secluded area. Easy drive to moody gardens and the pier. The place had one less bed than advertised but still had plenty of room. The washing machine didn’t work so clean towels were short on the last day and don’t expect decent internet as it’s just a mobile hotspot. Overall the stay was good and I would book again in the future.

Family vacation

Egrets nest was the perfect home for our family to stay while on vacation. The house was very clean. Each room had its own bathroom which was very nice with more than one family staying. There are not many homes in the community that are occupied therefore it was very quiet. The view was beautiful and we actually saw dolphins one morning. There is also a pubic beach less than 5 minutes away I would highly recommended this property

Clean, beautiful view, great for families.

The property was very clean, updated and fit our family of 16 perfectly!! The owner was great at communicating and I love the fact that it was gated and secluded a bit. The views of the bay were amazing and the house was well stocked with our needs. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which worked out well for us. Hoping to do this same house in the summer.

I had a great stay! The living areas were big and perfect for relaxing. Everything was clean and tidy, which made me feel at home. The place had everything I needed, from a kitchen full of supplies to good bathroom products. You can tell the hosts want to make sure guests are comfortable. I really liked staying here and would recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable, well-equipped place to stay.

Exceptional Egret's Nest Experience

Our group of ten visited Galveston to celebrate the birthdays for my best friend and my husband. The Egret's nest home was well maintained, had seamless check-in/check-out and had amazing sunset views over the gulf. The neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten path but close enough to shopping, beaches and fishing. We plan to visit and stay again for our next adventure.
