Very cozy place. Felt like home. Great location. Crossing Seawall Blvd to get to the water was easy and could be done with small children. Douglas is a great and prompt communicator. Highly recommend.

Beachfront Paradise of Texas

MeganRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This is our 2nd time staying at Vincent’s beach house, and it’s likely the place we will seek out on future trips to Galveston. We love the amount of space, beautiful gulf views, proximity to the peaceful private beach, and that it is pet friendly. The space is clean, and had all the amenities needed to enjoy our weeklong visit. Thanks again Vincent for another wonderful stay!

Summer Bliss —Coastal Oasis Getaway

MichelleRating, 5 starstoday
This Airbnb was everything we hoped for! The home was spotlessly clean and filled with thoughtful details that made our stay very comfortable. The covered parking below was very convenient. The decor had a beachy, cozy feel and we loved the outdoor speakers and all of the games available. It really felt like home away from home. What truly set this place apart was the host! She went out of her way to order us a baby gate to ensure our little one stayed safe~such a kind and thoughtful gesture that we very much appreciated. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a very clean, quiet, family getaway!

CamillaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay at the Lone Palm Resort will be forever etched in our minds as one of the best vacations . Jaclyn's home was everything it is described to be and more . Every room was pristinely cleaned, everything you would ever need is supplied, the views, the sunrises, the sound of the waves , the peacefulness that is there is second to none . We couldn't have asked for a better vacation home . We will definitely be back !

Had a great time at this house. The beach was a short walk or a quick drive away. Rachel responded quickly if I ever messaged her and she was very helpful.

Lazy River, Pools, Beach-Float, Sip, Soak, Repeat.

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The host is very easy to communicate with! This place is amazing and we miss it already. From the minute you walk in, those VIEWS!! It was never really busy at the pool, and even if it was it's a 300 foot pool. Not much to worry about. Beach access was easy, the condo itself was clean and enjoyable and quiet! We are very much a "chill out on vacation" mode family and we still were able to go swim at all times and come back and relax. Great place, I see us being back one day. We're already homesick for that place and those views!

KarenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The only negative I can say about it is that the street between the condo unit and the beach is quite busy and noisy, but we knew the street was there from the pictures so we weren’t surprised.

Breathtaking Top Floor Condo w/ View, heated pool

FrankRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The condo is well-stocked with dishes, cookware, and bathroom amenities. There is also a chest on the balcony containing a variety of recreational items for the beach. And there's a full-sized washer and dryer. I'll keep this on my list when I return.

Aah-mazing Beach Retreat with Ocean & Pool views

MorganRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Location was fabulous, the condo was perfect for 3 adults and a toddler. Wendy had everything we needed except for food and drink. She even had coffee with sugar and creamer at the ready! Wendy notified me prior to check in that the cleaner reported the fold out bed in the couch had a broke leg and was willing to have a replacement delivered the same night! I declined as it wasn’t necessary for us and we wouldn’t need that extra bed. She was prompt with communication and was clear with check in and check out instructions. Front office was friendly and actually had affordable laundry soap so I didn’t have to make another trip to Walmart which btw is walking distance! The pools were fabulous and the condo is right outside the more kid friendly pool. Elevator was broke by our room but we managed. We could have used one on the opposite side but it wasn’t terrible for us. This is located on the top floor (4th floor) definitely keeping this gem saved! Great first time A-BNB experience! ❤️

Island Hideaway! Pools! Hot Tubs! Cruise Parking!

TimothyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Condo This condo was exactly as described, with interior photos accurately reflecting its clean and inviting atmosphere. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of puzzles and games, including Rummikub. Its prime location next to Walmart made grabbing groceries for quick breakfasts a breeze, perfect for fueling up before our beach soccer tournament. The kids absolutely loved the bunk beds! A truly great stay, and we'll definitely look to book this space again. Property The Victorian boasts an unbeatable location directly across from the beach. Check-in was seamless at the main office, providing clear instructions, gated parking, and reliable Wi-Fi. The outdoor shower was a convenient bonus for rinsing off after sandy beach days.

We enjoyed our weekend stay here! The condo was cozy and perfectly placed to see the ocean and pool from the balcony. There were a lot of options on what to do in the area. They even provided a cooler and beach toys if needed. Great communication with the host as well.

Beachfront Beauty - Right On The Beach!

CarrieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Perfect spot for a quiet getaway with family or friends, with a direct view of the beach from two small balconies and a small, very clean pool in the complex. Unit has everything you need, including beach towels available for use. On the "first" floor (really the second), and high enough to have a good view of the ocean over the dunes. Older but very clean and well maintained complex with excellent customer service at the front desk. Owner was incredibly responsive to questions and communications. Went with my adult son with a disability who loved the safe, smaller size of the complex and the quieter atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
