Fantastic Week at Captain's Quarters
My wife and I had another fantastic stay @ Captain's Quarters only a few steps away from Palm Beach. Everything at the house was ideal and as always; a clean, well-stocked, and fabulous vacation home. Great October weather made for a perfect experience!

Great Weekend Retreat
Just stayed here for the weekend and had a great weekend. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed to enjoy ourselves. The location is outstanding as it is very close to the beach and didn't require us to walk across any major roads. This was very helpful since we had two of our grandsons with us. We will visit again!

Wonderful house
We’ve rented several properties over the years and this one has to be the best. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen stuff so you can make your meals. The house is just seven houses away from the beach; which is an easy walk. The beach itself is nice. It wasn’t crowded and no cars are allowed on the beach. The water was warm and the waves are minimal; perfect for swimming with kids.

Absolutely Awesome House
We loved our stay in Galveston! The house was very clean and the check in process was incredibly easy. The beach was so close! The house was properly stocked and the entertainment options were great when the weather wasn’t cooperating. My family loved the stay and would highly recommend the property!

Relaxing beach vacation
We had a wonderful stay at Just Steps to the Beach. The house was just what we needed and in a great location. It has a nice deck if you like the sun and is a short block from a beautiful beach. Our pup loved it just as much as we did.

Perfect vacation home
Perfect for our family! Plenty of towels, toilet paper, board games, DVD's. Good wifi, direct (satellite) TV . Only about 10 minutes to the Seawall. Quiet neighborhood, which is what we were looking for. Plenty of close things to do if you want to venture out. Would definitely recommend for family or friends gathering.

Great house for weekend getaway
This is our second stay at this place. The accommodations are great and the place is clean. Communication with the owner is easy. Instructions are clear. The house is away from the hustle and bustle, but not too far out of town. Will be back.

Great April Stay
My wife and I had a great week at Pirates Beach in our "home away from home". The rental was very clean, stocked with all needed supplies, and a truly enjoyable experience! This house is a real gem, only 150 yards from the beach! Thanks Barbara for being a wonderful host.

Great beach spot!
Loved just about everything about this property! The location was great - a quick 2 minute walk down the end of the street to the beach. The place itself has a great porch/deck that wraps all the way around which we enjoyed. Also has everything you would need for a short stay. We would gladly come back to this exact spot again and again.

Wonderful Experience
Couldn't have been better. The home had everything you could want for a vacation stay. Quiet neighborhood. 3-5 minute walk to the private beach. Definitely could tell that the owners actually use their home and take pride in it. Owners worked with us on a reschedule. Communication was great. A+ experience all around.

Labor Day Weekend
It’s a nice property close to the beach about a 4-5 minute walk. When we arrived the temperature in the house was 83 degrees! We turned down the AC TO 74. It was set at 79. Over the next hour the temperature increased to 84. We messaged the owner and an AC repair person came out quickly and recharged the system. They also came back the next day and checked the system and found a slow leak outside on the unit. They said they would be back after we checked out to fix it… it finally reached a comfortable temperature in the unit around 5:00 in the afternoon…other than that, no issues that were major…. Overall we enjoyed our stay and found the house enjoyable. The Master bedroom bed was very comfortable. We brought our own pillows so that also was a plus. The only things we noticed negative about the house besides the AC which was fixed promptly when owner was notified was some items needing repaired… the upstairs shower was not working well and needed a new part that controls the water from shower to tub. We used the shower off the kitchen and it was fine. The ice maker in fridge did not work. Other then that, just cosmetic things in and around the property. We were overall happy with our stay and would recommend to others.
