Great Beach House 4.50/5.00 Stars
Our recent stay at this beach house was exceptional. It exceeded our expectations and stands out as one of the best properties we've rented in Pirates Beach over the past 40 years. The house is well maintained with a great layout. It features two primary bedrooms with king-sized beds that appeared new and were very comfortable. The other two bedrooms each have four bunk beds (full on the bottom, single on top) and attached bathrooms with standing showers. One of the highlights is the multiple decks, including a rooftop deck with spectacular Gulf views. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are located on the top floor and are massive, making it an ideal spot for gatherings and relaxation. A standout feature is that the property is managed directly by the homeowners. The towels and blankets were notably soft and of higher quality than what we've experienced in corporately managed properties. The house was well-stocked with multiple refrigerators, icemakers, coffee makers, and everything you need in the kitchen. The garage was a treasure trove of beach essentials, including chairs, tables, boogie boards, and a wagon for easy transport to the beach. Overall, this beach house provided a wonderful and memorable stay. Its excellent layout, superior amenities, and personal touch of homeowner management set it apart from other rentals in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend this property for a top-tier beach house experience in Pirates Beach.

This is our 3rd time staying at this beach house
We have been pleased every time we have stayed at this beach house. It is within easy walking distance to the beach and it has all the amenities to make it an enjoyable and comfortable stay. A really nice feature is that each of the 4 bedrooms have their own private bathroom. We plan to stay there again next year.

Family Time Fun
Our family had a wonderful time in Pirates Beach. The house was clean and large enough for all of us. The walk to the beach was easy and for those who couldn't walk, parking was available close to the entrance to the beach. Overall, it was a wonderful beach house and we hope to return next summer!

Great place for big grouo
The house was great! Great location. Pretty far from Seawall and shops. But only a bock and 1/2 to the beach. Only complaint... those stairs! You have to be in good shape to climb up and down 32 stairs numerous times. I myself have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis so it was really hard for me. But even those in shape and the teenage boys complained of their legs hurting. Be prepared to exercise! We had a wonderful time in anyway! Thank you for letting stay in your home!

Great Floorplan, Downside Roaches
The house has a great floor plan for families. The location to the beach was wonderful. The house looked and smelled clean, however, there were cockroaches which was a very unpleasant surprise. We would stay there again, but I would bring insect spray.

This is our second time to stay here. We love the spacious kitchen and living room. It also has plenty of beds and 4 1/2 bathrooms!!! The deck on the very top of the house has an amazing view! And it’s just a few minutes walk to the beach. We hope to return again.

Perfect house for our group!
The house was perfect for our group of 16. The kitchen is big enough to allow 3 cooks working, or a buffet, and was stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, cutlery and general kitchen supplies like trash bags, dish soap and coffee filters. The living area accommodated all of us playing games and visiting. Loved the balcony for beach breezes and appreciated all the ceiling fans and good a/c in the Texas heat. The stairs were challenging for several of our seniors but we managed. We'd love to do it all again! Thanks for a great house for a big group at a reasonable price.

Our Second Year Staying at this Beach House
This is the second year we have stayed at this beach house. Our family travels from Chicago, San Antonio and Houston to spend a few days together and with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, it is perfect for everyone. The house is well furnished with everything from furniture, great mattresses and plenty of kitchen utensils. The beach is a short walk away. You will want to spend some time in the mornings and sit on their covered balcony, eat breakfast and drink your tea or coffee. You are also relatively close to Galveston, so it is a short drive to restaurants and The Strand. We plan to stay there again next year.

Best Family Beach House Ever
We have been spending a week at Galveston beaches every summer with my husband’s siblings and their families for the past 10 years. We’ve seen a lot of good houses, but this is the best one we’ve found in a long time. It has great living space for meals and games and a huge fully stocked kitchen that makes it easy for more than one person to be cooking at a time. The bedrooms are all a good size and each one has its own bathroom, which makes it so convenient for each family to get cleaned up after coming back from the beach. The beach itself is just a short walk away, and we love that it’s a section where cars are not allowed to drive in the sand, making it feel safer to have little ones running around on the beach. It’s a lovely home and the owners were kind and attentive. We look forward to renting it again next summer!

Beautiful Beach House
This house was more than we expected, the pictures did not do it full justice. It’s beautiful, very roomy, has an awesome kitchen and huge family room with a small bar that has an ice machine. Each room has its’ own bathroom inside the room and there is lots of dresser and closet space. The beds were very comfortable too! The outside decks were spacious and gave us a wonderful view of the ocean. No doubt, we will be back!

BEST VALUE on Galveston Island
We have used VRBO worldwide and it is always refreshing to find great value when renting. Everything worked out well with our stay and we will use this property again when we come back to Galveston. This property has a separate bathroom for each bedroom, all were updated and in working condition. Very nicely decorated and well maintained. Great balconies. Additionally, this property is a short walk to the beach and very close to downtown Galveston, the grocery store, eating places and the Strand. We give it a 5-star rating.
