Our stay at Andy’s home was wonderful! The location was excellent for all of the activities and restaurants we visited by golf cart. The heated pool that gradually gets deeper fit our needs with kids ages 6 to 13 perfectly. The amenities and small details made us feel right at home. Andy was an amazing host, and we would book again for sure!

We have stayed at Galveston many times in different AirBnBs. This was the best one yet. The heated pool and downstairs area stole the show. Kids got to swim every day no matter the weather. The beds were also so comfortable. Great location. The host was very responsive to any issues which were few. Highly recommend. Worth the price!

First, Andy is a great host: professional, friendly and responsive. We very much enjoyed all the amenities, especially the heated pool, outdoor seated area and the ping pong table. Since it was Christmas, we cooked quite a lot ourselves and enjoyed a very well set up kitchen with plentiful and quality cookware. The house was quiet and I and the rest of the family slept like babies. We will definitely visit again!

We had a wonderful experience. The house had everything you might possibly need, the attention to details were great! We spend most of our time at the pool and downstairs patio lounge grilling and relaxing, it was a very chill vibe. Andy was a super host! If we're in town again, we would definitely book a second round!

We had a wonderful stay in Galveston over Thanksgiving! Andy was incredibly responsive and accommodating of our needs. The home itself was pristine with beautiful furnishings and the most comfortable beds! We loved being able to walk to the beach, and the neighborhood was quiet and picturesque. We loved the outdoor space for lounging and watching football on T.V. The kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool. 5 stars, we will absolutely be back!

Andy's place was absolutely wonderful! Everything was clean and the pool was heated to perfection. We booked the house for a family trip with kids and a baby and everything was exactly as described - with extra blankets for cold family members. Andy was an incredible host and was proactive with updates + recommendations as well as responsive for any questions or requests we had. I had family members ask when we could book the same house again. 100/10 experience and host!!

Andy’s place is above and beyond what they offer and promise. The home is gorgeous, the amenities are amazing and the private patio/pool area is phenomenal for the family. The owner was beyond responsive. They checked in often to make sure the stay was great, had amazing recommendations, and one of the easiest checkout processes I’ve ever dealt with.

Excellent property for the price… super clean & in great location walkable to the beach. My family loved the heated pool & down stairs hangout area. Andy was very accommodating… grateful for the stay & hospitality.
