Guest Reviews and Recommendations

We had an incredible stay on the bay over Christmas! Our family loved the house, inside and out. We ate breakfast and dinner in the screened porch and the boys (ages 4 and 9) loved sitting on the deck in the morning and watching all the birds and boaters. It was such a peaceful getaway over the holidays; hopefully, this will be our new family tradition. Thank you, Sand `N Sea!

Best vacation, EVER! My family held its reunion over Columbus Day weekend at Pirates Beach. We rented 5 beach houses with Sand 'N Sea properties. Each house was perfectly appointed with everything you might want or expect in an up-scale rental. They thought of everything, including my favorites, Cutco knives in the kitchen, polycarbonate wine glasses to prevent beach breakage, and motion sensor lights at the stairs and entryways to prevent accidents in the dark. Beds were comfortable and not over-used. Hospitality was gracious and accommodating. We will absolutely be back!

Response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad you and your family enjoyed your reunion and look forward to welcoming you back to Galveston Island soon!

(Willy's Place )Nice location. Short walk to the beach. Nice beach view from the house. Storm shutters kept windows shaded from sun. Several lights needed new bulbs, but it really wasn't a big deal. Kitchen well equipped. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Excellent attention and warmth at Sand and See. For ever greatfull to Peter Van Bursson his efforts and concerns go beyond a regular realtor. If ever you need any realtor in Galveston do you self a favor and at least get to know him.

The houses are great and the customer service even better. Thank you Sand N Sea for always making our vacations so easy and enjoyable!

Review by

This was our sixth year of renting a beach house from Sand and Sea, and our fifth staying at “No Agenda”. We love the location, the fact that the property is very well kept, and the excellent customer focus consistently shown by the Sand and Sea professional staff. Our four little grandchildren, our three grown up children, daughter in law and son in law, and my wife and I, our kids so look forward to going back to “No Agenda” in July 2019, and we have already secured we’ll do so by contracting and paying 50% of the rental cost for next year

Thanks, Rafael! We can't wait to see you & your family again next summer!

First impressions for my first stay on Galveston island couldn't have been better. The city and its history was my interest—and my home base in a Sand 'N Sea townhouse was ideal. Helpful staff and friendly neighbors (who humored this inquisitive guest) only made it better.

Response

We loved having you join us! We hope to see you and your artwork back again soon!

Sand 'N Sea was the first experience I had with short term rental on a vacation home. We needed a large home for a special occasion. The entire experience was just that, a special and incredibly memorable experience. At this point, I would never use another company in Galveston to rent a vacation home from, ever. We were greated by a real person. Showed up to a spotlessly clean castle to stay in for the week. There were resources created in the home so we knew how to work everything and find our way around Galveston. This was truly the best experience ever. Loved it. Loved the staff. Couldn't recommend more.

Comments you'd like to share with others looking at Sugar Shack property and using Sand 'N Sea: We highly recommend Sand 'N Sea Properties for any length of time you want to go to Galveston. A weekend, a week or longer, these folks will set you up right. We stayed in Sugar Shack - it is terrific and everything we expected...the furnishings were clean and on a whole, it is spacious. We esp liked the open ceiling/rafter look which made the entire space airy, and bigger than it would appear. It has great open kitchen w sitting areas that are perfect for watching the gulf thru large windows during thunder storms. The deck is 'just right' bc the covered area works w a rainy day and the open part was ample for sitting in the sun...Overall an A++++! As always Sand n Sea never disappoints and has been a solid 'go to' for almost 6 years...and counting... :)

Response

We are so glad you enjoyed Sugar Shack! We can't wait for year 7 :)

Review by

The property (Sea La Vie) we stayed in was beautiful, well appointed and comfortable. Neighborhood was great with access to beach closer than any we’ve stayed in before. We have been coming to Galveston for over 7 years with a large family and the Sand n Sea homes have not disappointed; highly recommend this company and their homes. Thank you for a lovely week in a beautiful home!

Response

Thank you, Cindy! We hope to see you again soon!

I would definitely rent a beach house again from Sand N Sea!

Sand N Sea delivers world class customer service consistent with five star property management. They take care of the rental guests and the property owners with the utmost respect and professionalism. I have worked with them for several years and they always take care of requests/feedback immediately. It's tough to manage properties all across the Island but Sand N Sea takes pride in delivering the best service with a smile. :-) Thanks Sand N Sea for making our time on the Island the best possible.

Response

Thank you so much, Angie! We love our homeowners and look forward to continuing to welcome guests to your beach house for a great Galveston vacation!

We went down to Galveston row a weekend getaway a few weeks back. We had a lovely time. The property we stayed in was well maintained and the service was top notch. the check in/out process was simple and easy. I would not stay with anyone else in Galveston! 5 stars!

As a West Galveston homeowner, I’m always disappointed to read a post like Jenny’s. Thanks to Mother Nature, the Island has indeed received a record amount of seaweed this year. The extensive news coverage has reported its ecological benefits, local efforts to manage the influx, and how visitors are enjoying their vacations both in the middle of and in spite of it! Why not grab a plastic rake and make a spot of clean beach to build your sand castle on like so many others are doing? If that’s not an option for you and you’re looking for water, how about visiting some of our fabulous water attractions, like Palm Beach at Moody Gardens, or Schlitterbahn? Sand ‘N Sea is a strong community advocate for positive beach-related improvements, and they are known for closely monitoring beach conditions. Advising incoming guests of the seaweed influx via email is a conscientious, customer-service-oriented thing to do, and I applaud them. Give Galveston a try again, Jenny - I hope you and your family will come back to enjoy ALL that we have to offer!

Have always had a wonderful experience with Sand’nSea! We rent beach houses from them multiple times a year and the staff always goes above and beyond! The houses are always clean and as advertised.

Thank you for the great review David! Great customer service is very important to us, and we are glad to hear you've been enjoying your time in our Galveston Island vacation rental!

We recently finished a week stay at Bellatti! We loved every moment from when we walked in the door until the moment we locked the door and had to leave! The property has a phenomenal view and a great layout! It was very spacious and felt like home!! We have rented from Sand n Sea for the past 5 years and have always had a fantastic experience at all the properties we have stayed at... Bellatti is a gem for sure and we will be booking that one again!!! THANKYOU Sand n Sea for always being so welcoming, friendly and helpful!!! We look forward to planning our next trip!!

Response

Thank you, Sara! We loved welcoming you & your family back to the beach again this year, and we can't wait to see you again!

We rented a house, Tropical Waters, from Sand 'N Sea in September 2016. It was clean and fairly well-maintained. We did have an issue with the AC and with one of the power shutters which got stuck, but someone was out to fix both problems quickly.Sand 'N Sea has a great selection of vacation homes and condos with reasonable prices. Their website is easy to search by desired amenities, including homes that work well together, should you be planning for several groups who want to be close to each other. We are looking forward to our next stay in September 2018.

Thank you! We can't wait to welcome you back for another great beachfront vacation this fall!

Sand N Sea is the most reliable and professional property rental services on Galveston Island. The house we rented we amazing. It was spotlessly clean, well stocked, and had a beautiful beach view. I couldn't have ask for anything better. We'll use Sand N Sea every time we need a vacation rental property.

The house we rented was beautiful had everything we needed the beds were comfy and everything was just perfect. The staff where very helpful in any way that they could. We loved to go fishing outside and the beach was so close, it was unbelievable, just perfect. We would take walks by the beach and were thankful we had such a comfortable house to stay at. I would definetly be coming back again thank you sand n sea for all the awesome memories.

We are glad you had such a great experience! We look forward to seeing you back at the beach again soon!

We like Sand N Sea and always check there first when looking for a beach rental. The reservation process is easy, the pricing is straightforward, and the website is easy to navigate. And the Beach Club loyalty program occasionally surprises us with a free weekend rental. Our most recent rental was "Waterfront Cottage" which is a small house but makes good use of the space - 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. (There's no tub, just a shower). You won't find a lot of games, books or clutter, and you won't find any beach toys or chairs in a downstairs storage room - because there isn't one. What you do get is close up, unobstructed beachfront views and easy access to the beach at a reasonable price. Pet Friendly, too!

Response

Thanks for your great review! We've enjoyed welcoming back to the beach over the years and look forward to doing it again soon!

Review by

We ALWAYS enjoy our stay on the Bay and with Sand 'N Sea! This was our third year and every single time is AWESOME! We wouldn't consider calling anyone else! The home is always spotless and someone with Sand ' N Sea always calls to make sure were enjoying our stay and to let us know they are there if we need them! The bay house we stay at is clean and has everything we need to enjoy our vacation along with the perfect place to watch the sunset!

Review by

had a wonderful time at Waterfront Cottage. It was just my husband and myself, it was quiet and relaxing and close enough to go into to Galveston to eat. We would definitely rent this place again.

Beautiful Beach House. 9/26/18 thru 10/3/18 -This is our 2nd time at the Bahama Breeze - this home is very up to date and very clean. We love that everything is on one level and a bathroom for every bedroom - The lift is a great plus for transporting your luggage and groceries. There is a fenced yard which is great for younger children and the walkover to the beach is a plus. The view is fantastic and we will be back in 2019. - This is 2019 - we are back again to celebrate my 70th birthday - we simply love this beach house - we stayed 9-25-19 thru 10-2-19 this house is just fantastic - always clean and the view is great - love the one level floor plan and the lift for transporting luggage etc. My grand kids loved the beach and we did spend alot of time on the beach. The view is great !! WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR 2020 FOR SURE. The staff at Sand N Sea are the best we would not deal with anyone else.

I've stayed at Sand 'N Sea properties several times and each has been excellent. Their office staff is extremely helpful and prompt if you have questions when booking or requests during your stay. This year we stayed at the Seaside Bungalow and it was outstanding. The house was in perfect order, had a very well equipt kitchen, and an incredible view of the gulf. It was a very close to a community boardwalk so the walk from the house to standing on the beach took no more than about 5 minutes. Staying in this property also gave you access to the Pointe West Beach Club so you had access to two pools, a workout room, and other facilities. The house was well laid out with the five bedrooms to accommodate more than one family. It's all the way at the west end of the island so it's not nearly as crowded as the beaches as you get closer in to Galveston. We went after labor day and just about had the beaches to ourselves every day. VERY peaceful. I would definitely rent this property again and will work with Sand 'N Sea for our next trip to the Galveston beaches.

Thank you, John. We all look forward to welcoming you back for another great vacation soon!

This beach house was so comfortable and decorated nicely, we felt right at home. The view of the beach was perfect! Beds were comfortable, we had dressers and closet space, the kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely book this one again, thank you for a lovely stay! We've rented through Sand 'N Sea before and know the homes are well maintained. The booking process is simple as well. I loved the special touch on our last rental in gifting a baseball cap, beach bag, doggie bowl, etc.!

Excellent customer- Jolene!

This is a lovely beach house (Beach House Paradise) with seaside decor. Each bedroom has their own en-suite (double sinks) bathroom, comfy bed & huge tv. The double covered decks are perfect for relaxing & enjoying the beach front view. The kitchen is very well equipped for every possible need. We have rented several times in the past with Sand ‘N Sea & have found it to be reliable regarding what is desirable in renting a property.

Stilted Pleasure was a delight for our two week stay in Galveston! Would definitely recommend it to everyone interested in a great beach vacation!

Sand 'N Sea Galveston Vacation Rentals is a perfect fit for our family. They provide Dog friendly houses with complete fenced in yard with no sticker burs. Absolutely love sitting in the captain chairs at the house we rented on San Luis Beach watching the surf across the dunes. No cars on the beach is also a plus. Excellent service every time we have rented from Sand 'N Sea. I highly recommend them for Galveston Island rentals.

Review by

WOW!! This was our 3rd stay at Island Breeze and we were very surprised when we arrived to see all the updates done to property!! Love this house even more now. The kitchen is always very well stocked with just about anything you would need to prepare a meal for the family. Great beds and a beautiful shower now in the main bedroom. Pictures of property updated during our stay so check them out and get to the beach!! I would add that the freshly painted deck is great on the bare feet now as well. To the owners - Thank You!!

We really enjoyed the house and our time there. It had everything you could need for a great vacation. The size of the house was ideal for our group.

Extremely useful site

So cozy&comfy with the most Beautiful Beach Front Views! I am a returning Customer after Our 1st stay last year using Sand&Sea Rentals. This is Our New Annual Tradition to get away and stay Beach Front down in Galveston. And We continue to only book and stay with Sand&Sea vacation Rentals!

Review by

The layout of house was perfect for our 8 adults. Everything was extremely clean. Not one bug seen outside or inside. The freight lift was a life saver. Access to the beach was so easy. We did not care for people driving their vehicles right on the beach and parking all along the water front. Would be nice if that was eliminated. We also would have liked more amenities such as paper towels, dish soap, towels and some beach towels offered, but note to self for next time, will bring our own. Would be nice to have a large frying pan to cook for a large group of people. Overall though, this was the best house we have rented in Galveston to date. I am tired of VRBO homes and so believe they charge more and are not as clean and up-kept as the Sand n Sea.

We love waterfront cottage property, perfect location, the house is well kept it had everything we needed to spend our Memorial wknd vacation.we definitely be back!

Beautiful home. Great view of the beach! My husband is in a wheelchair so the elevator is a must. Had great weekend for the entire family

Last year I had made some comments about the upkeep of the property. This year the property looked beautiful with new exterior paint! Love this house! We'll back again! a few years back we were looking for a beach house rental and the inventory that Sand 'N Sea had the best houses.

We have stayed with Sand "N Sea for years. We have loved every house we have rented. Our latest house was the Pink Flamingo. The house is very well stocked, clean, and the view of the beach is wonderful. l highly recommend!

I've already sent the link to 2 families to book!! We will definitely book through sand n sea again!! My father rented a house a month ago and said it was so much better than the busy hotels!

Review by

Our vacation rental was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked through the door the view was breathtaking. The condo (Diamond Beach) was very clean and well stocked with towels, kitchen utensils and pots/pans. We loved the pool, lazy river and game room. Our five year old not once said she was bored and that was a huge plus. Oh and the 75 year old has already asked me to start planning the next trip?. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to visit again.

Review by

The house was nicely furnished, the perfect size for the 7 of us, the perfect distance from the beach, had a great view, was clean and well-stocked. We'd definitely rent this beach house again. All of us were happy with the stay and none wanted to leave. We've rented with Sand 'N Sea before and had good experiences
