Stay with kids
This place was amazing! We stayed here with my two brothers’ families, and it was perfect for us. The house is beautiful, and the views are stunning. It’s a very easy walk to get out to the beach. The beach is so quiet and peaceful, not at all crowded. The new pool/hot tub was also great. It was on the cooler side when we were there, so it was great to be able to sit in the pool outside! The house is well stocked with toys, especially beach toys. They have a beach wagon, plenty of chairs, and lots of buckets, shovels, etc. We had a wonderful, memorable trip and would definitely stay here again! -Emily, 2024
Incredible Weekend
“We just returned from an incredible weekend at a beautiful beach house in Galveston, and we can't wait to share our experience! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found the perfect place for our vacation. The house is simply stunning, with breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean. Every morning, waking up to the sound of the waves and the sea breeze was a rejuvenating experience. The rooms are spacious and decorated in a charming, cozy style that makes you feel right at home instantly. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare delicious meals and enjoy family dinners with sunset views. The terrace, with its barbecue and comfortable seating, became our favorite spot to relax and share laughs under the stars. The location of the house is unbeatable. Just a few steps from the beach, we enjoyed long walks, building sandcastles, and swimming in the crystal-clear waters. Additionally, the proximity to local attractions allowed us to explore the best of Galveston.” -Belkis, July, 2024
Vacation with kids
Great, quiet, and clean home on the beach. Already missing the view and dolphins. Plenty of space for our group. Organized, well-stocked kitchen. Large table that fits everyone for meals. Comfortable furniture and beds. The second living space upstairs gave the teens a place to hang out after the beach. 5 Star review from the 6-year-old for available toys️. Loved that the beach was private access. We could keep eyes on teens from the house—private outdoor shower for rinsing sand. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. This home is stocked and well thought out. Everyone in our group voted to stay again when on the island. Thank You! -Anita, 2024
Group trip
“We had a fantastic time at this property. The house was in pristine condition- the furniture felt brand new, the kitchen was fully stocked with nice appliances, and the bedrooms were very clean. The house had ample beach chairs, toys, towels, etc. There were lots of kids' toys, which was great. The swim spa was very luxurious and massive; we spent much time in it! Honestly, this was the nicest rental home we have ever stayed in!” -Rick, 2024
“Beautiful home, perfect location!
The Surfing Cowboy has everything you need for a peaceful, active, fun vacation. This home is gorgeous and it is located on a beautiful, quiet part of the beach. We were happy to find that this section of beach is blocked off from public access so it wasn’t crowded during the Fourth of July weekend. The owners have thought of everything from a kitchen with everything you need to cook, to beach chairs, wagon, and toys for the beach. The pool was an unexpected, added bonus! The linens and towels were high quality and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We had two families with 13, 16, and 22 year old kids and we all fit comfortably in the house. The home is gorgeously decorated with a beautiful beach vibe. The property managers were so attentive, thoughtful, and accessible if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return to The Surfing Cowboy again!”
Family Trip
“This beach home was beautiful and just as described. Linens and towels were top notch! Having access to the garage full of beach supplies, toys, canopies, and a beach wagon was a definite plus! Swim spa was great! Host was very responsive and worked with us upon check-in and the following day when fridge/freezer was malfunctioning, the owner delivered us a replacement the next evening which we greatly appreciated as we had lots of groceries for our party of seven! Beautiful views of the beach and very convenient to have the house right on the beach. We will definitely be back!” -Elaine, July 2024
Family Trip
This was a wonderful place! Beautifully decorated without clutter, top-notch appliances- my sons were impressed with the coffee machine. Wish I had realized all the beach accessories that they provided—I would not have used my own. It was everything you would need for a day at the beach! Coming back from the beach, which is just down a short trail, and there's an outdoor shower with hot water!! And a hose to clean off the dogs and supplies! Once clean the adults enjoyed the swim spa that was large enough for the whole family—and with a view of the ocean. It was perfect on our windy, cold days. The house was so clean, which was surprising, being near the beach! Enjoyed the balcony with enough chairs for the adults. Beautiful view! The bedrooms were comfortable! We spent many hours at the large table, either eating or playing games. The hosts have been very generous and thoughtful. I definitely would recommend it.
