1st Trip to Galveston

Cat Alley was a great place to stay for our first trip to Galveston! It’s location on the beach is perfect, especially when traveling with small kids. The home is fully stocked with kitchen necessities which made preparing meals easy! We loved the deck and enjoyed relaxing in the raised lounge chairs. We hope to make a repeat visit soon!

This is a beautiful property and looks just the same in person as online. The views of the beach and sunrise are amazing. It is about 1 minute from property to the beach. The beach is kept very clean by Galveston island personnel. The kitchen, bathrooms and laundry are very well stocked. We wanted for nothing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing Views! Great Beach house in West Galveston!

Great “on the beach” experience with or without the sand! Beautiful unobstructed balcony views of the beach. Located just off the beach access you can “sit on the beach” from the comfort of the covered porch or take the 2 minute stroll to the sand and water. Beautifully cared for home with everything you need for a great vacation. We will book again!

We had a fantastic stay! The beach was just steps away and the views from the deck were amazing! It was very peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed some beach time - looking for shells and taking walks on the beach. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Pam & Rick also provided wonderful recommendations for restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Family Vacation

We would highly recommend this beach house! It is a great place to spend extended time at the beach. The location is perfect! It is so close to the beach that you can walk back and forth all day without much effort. The views from the large porch are great and safe enough for small children to play on after a long day at the beach. The house itself was well stocked and even had several items that we had forgotten to bring. The owner is great to work with and made for an easy check in and out. We would love to go back again in the future.

Simply amazing

We have stayed at beach rentals often in Galveston and this property, by far, is the best we have stayed at. The description of the property in the listing is everything stated and then some. Additionally, the property owners were very easy to work with and so kind to keep us appraised of any upcoming weather, current, or traffic advisories via VRBO messaging. Fully intend to rebook this property for our next trip to the coast. Thank you so much for making our family vacation such a memorable event !!

Saved our holiday!

We booked this property on very short notice after the property we booked in New Mexico unexpectedly had to cancel our reservation. Our disappointment was quickly forgotten once we found this property. The communication from the owner was immediate and helpful and anytime we had a question they were so responsive. The pictures and description of the home are accurate but don’t do it Justice! It’s fantastic and nothing is lacking. We will definitely look to stay here again.

Another awesome visit

This is the second time we have stayed at this property for our trip to the coast and we were as delighted as the first time we stayed. We have decided this is our go-to property to rent for our trips to Galveston and have already re-booked for our next visit ! The property is very well appointed and there is very little that you need to bring along on your trip. The communications with the owners were very good and both times we have rented, their communications have come in handy whether advising of work on the bridge that may affect our travel off of the island or of a regatta that would be sailing right past the property on one of the days we were renting this last trip. Thank you again for making this property available as a vacation rental. We will be back !

Family short vacation

My wife and I and kids came to have a Galveston retreat and we had an amazing time. The house was absolutely clean. It had a great living room and we loved laying down on the patios, watching the shores right in front of us and the sunrise. It was just absolutely amazing. Everything was accessible accessible. It was so close to the shores.
