Great for a short stay!

Prime beach-front location on a private beach was perfect for our short holiday stay. A little away from the hustle and bustle but not too far to a small grocery. House is well appointed and very comfortable. Perfect size for 2 small families. Wonderful trip, would love to stay again!

Great Space and Home - Even Better Property Manager

Family of 5 - twin 11 year olds and a 7 year old. House fit us well even at 1300 or so square feet. We always look for proximity to the beach with no cars allowed and this was great. House was well positioned about 20 min south of Galveston and didn’t allow any vehicles on the beach which is great. The home had sooo many beach toys for the kids including a bunch of boogie boards which the kids absolutely loved. Grill was brand new. House was oretty clean overall although it doesn’t seem like it gets a ton of activity. There were a few issues during our stay but Pablo, the property manager was absolutely amazing. He had to come out twice, had to get a plumber out once and needed for someone to come out once to fix the storm shutters. All of the work was done promptly and without any interruption to our stay. He made this experience that could have been frustrating an absolute pleasure given his responsiveness. Thanks a ton Pablo for being a great host to our stay. We caught tons of hermit crabs. I caught a lot of fish. A great vacation overall. Thanks a ton.

Great beach house!

The house was great. I would actually stay there again. It had great beach access and good amenities. It was clean and the bed was a plus, but we did see small ants here and there. We came right after hurricane Beryl so the mosquitos were crazy ridiculous. The internet didn’t work at times and we lost power at night but everything was resolved quickly and it was expected because of Beryl. It didn’t stop us from having fun. The host was accommodating and responded quickly and we will definitely be back. Great location. Quiet beach. Good for families!

Best stay in 20 years

LA LUZ is a well-designed, well-maintained home. It is the best and most thoughtfully equipped vacation home we have rented in Galveston in more than twenty years of annual visits. Very clean, right on the beach, and the management is proactive. We lost power one afternoon, and Pablo, the property manager, was right on the ball keeping up informed of Centerpoint Power's progress and projected restoration. While we had no children in our group, La Luz is arranged and equipped to fully cater to families with kids. We'll be back.

Great access to the beach

The decor was cute and colorful. The kitchen was well appointed with new and state of the art appliances. The house was smaller than it appeared in the photos. The primary bath was quite large with a double sink vanity. The only negative was the size of the shower……very small. The neighborhood was disappointing. Older houses mostly. It was quite a long drive into town.
