The house was perfect! We loved it and super close to the beach!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
The house was perfect for my me and husband and two small dogs. We stayed two nights. The fenced yard was wonderful for them, complete with a fixed dispenser for dog poop bags! The a/c stayed nice and cold, even in the TX summer. The beach is so close! It was busy when we got there on Sunday night, but barely anyone there on Monday and Tuesday. Yay! And no jellyfish at all, even though August is supposed to be their peak month. Place was clean and cute, and suited our needs. It's not highly decorated, so think more simple stay than super nice getaway. We couldn't get the dishwasher to start upon leaving, but we texted Kev so that he knew we tried, and he said he'd have the cleaning people check it. Small things like the microwave not being able to open fully (too close to the refrigerator), dishwasher not starting, tub spout loose, and absence of washcloths are things that my detail eye noticed that brought it down from fancy place to nice, simple place. But the thing that knocked off a star was the water quality. It was stinky and slightly yellow-tinted. I'm sure water quality is hard to manage on the beach, and what comes into the house is what comes out in the faucets. But you definitely need to bring water bottles for drinking...and plenty of them if it's hot outside! Showering in it was still fine, and our dogs drank it until we got more bottled water. Upper deck is amazing! Know that the full-window door doesn't have blinds, so you're visible to neighbors walking past.

Gilligans Beach Hut was excellent and just what I was looking for for a couple of days away from the Houston craziness where we could take our dog swimming in the Gulf and let her run on the beach. Big shouts out to Kevin for allowing us to get in early (although we didn't really need to, as we ended up leaving for lunch in Galveston about 45 minutes later than planned) and the next door neighbors (who take care of the house) for being generous, kind, and a font of knowledge. (As has been mentioned in other posts, the tap water isn't drinkable, but the neighbors referred to city hall (?) nearby where you could get unlimited filtered water; we didn't need it as our three gallons of spring water were more than enough for "man and beast" for our stay.)We greatly prefer Surfside over Galveston because it's calmer and friendlier, and if you go I highly recommend the Beach Front Deck Bar and Grill (walkable; 3 drafts all day) and the Seahorse Bar & Grill, which is part of the Ocean Village Hotel (we've never seen it so packed!). Gilligans was a short walk to the beach, and Kevin provides a wagon that is perfect for hauling your umbrella, chairs, cooler, etc. down to the water. Definitely recommend.P.S. One interesting note: Google Maps shows 127 Beachcomber as being the last house before the water, but there is a newly-built house at 123, so you don't have a direct line of sight to the Gulf. Not a big deal, just an FYI. (I suspect it won't be long before someone builds 121.)

The beach house was clean and comfortable. It is so close to the beach! The host was excellent at communicating and responding. The house is on a quiet street, and there is even a snack shop and restaurant close enough that we walked to them. The deck is a great spot to enjoy sunrise and sunset. We loved it!
