"We stayed for four nights over Indigenous Peoples Day, which is the perfect time to vacation in Galveston. The property had everything we needed and was comfortable. The short walk to the beach with all of our grandsons' beach toys and our chairs was easy with the wagons we found in the garage. We will definitely stay in Beachtown again!"

10/10 Excellent

"House was beautiful and clean and had a wonderful view of the private beach! House had everything you needed to have the perfect stay! The only issue we had was that we were told the golf cart was in the shop but should be fixed by Friday, the day of our arrival! We never heard anything so I called on the way down and was told it still wasn’t fixed so now we had to rent one to be able to get my 92 year old mother to the beach! It was a 500 expense we didn’t anticipate but we still enjoyed our family vacation and would definitely stay here again! The check in process is easiest we ever had and owners were so easy to communicate with! If you want to stay in a beautiful home with a great view, a gated area that provides extra safety and an overall fantastic vacation this is a great option! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home! David @ Linda Lyons"
