“This is our second time to stay in this subdivision and we are very happy once again. I was very happy with all of the appliances in the kitchen. They even have a Keurig. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. I highly recommend booking this house.”

“The home was beautiful and well kept, but we were disappointed that there was no access to the community pool. In the Airbnb listing it says pool access, but doesn’t specify that the pool is only open seasonally beginning Memorial Day weekend. It would be very helpful to have that information prominently displayed. We also had a lot of trouble with the remote not working well for us. The buttons seemed to not do much and it took a while to actually get something to play. Had the weather been nicer during our stay we probably wouldn’t have even needed the tv, but we had a lot of rain. All in all we had a good time and were very comfortable.”

“We had the best time staying at Serenity! I wanted to get out of Houston for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday so I booked this great house for my husband, 5 year old twin boys and myself. It was perfect. It was nearly sunset when we arrived on Friday and the views from the balcony were amazing! As others have said, the pictures don't do it justice. You can see the ocean in the distance and hear the faint sound of waves but the view of the creek and wide open field (filled with grazing cows and Longhorns) right in front of the house is equally as tranquil. The house itself was in great condition. Very clean. Super easy to get to the beach. You could technically walk if you weren't hauling a bunch of beach gear (and kids), but we just hopped in the car and it was a quick 2 minute drive to the crossover. Love that you can drive right onto the sand on this section of the beach. Makes it so easy with small kids. Outdoor shower (with both hot and cold water) back at the house was also a huge plus! We had the best time in the evenings down on the ground level. The houses in this neighborhood are not right on top of each other so there was plenty of room in the yard for the boys to play soccer and run around while we had happy hour and enjoyed the sunsets. I know multiple people commented on how bad the mosquitos can be downstairs, but we didn't see a single one at this time of year (November). Such a great family getaway! Would definitely rent this house again!”

“Pointe San Luis is on the west end of Galveston Island - almost to the toll bridge. It's a ways from Galveston, but that's what makes it wonderfully quiet. Overall the unit was fantastic! The unit was very clean and well appointed with just about everything we needed. The living area was very comfortable and the TV had cable and all of the usual apps. The beds were awesome and bathrooms had fluffy white towels (but per the listing no beach towels - no biggie - we brought 'em). The washer and dryer worked perfectly - bring detergent and softener (we did!). The kitchen is well appointed - plenty of plates, silverware and enough of the basics to whip up meals. The unit is a bit short on mixing bowls and measuring cups but we made do. We did heed the advice of other renters and brought our own paper towels and garbage bags - and glad we did. Note that the ice maker is turned off between renters so don't count on ice when you arrive. Also, there are absolutely no 'extras' in the kitchen like salt & pepper. So be sure to think of everything you need before heading to the unit as the closest HEB is in Lake Jackson - 23 miles away. Now for the outside - BRING BUG SPRAY!! This was our first time to stay on the bay side of the island and the mosquitoes were VORACIOUS. Being up on the balcony was OK, but as soon as we got down to the bottom of the stairs it was buffet time. So we didn't use the pool - too buggy. On the bright side the unit is within an easy walking distance of the beach - there is a pedestrian path to the beach through a culvert and you can also drive right across FM 3005 right onto the beach - easy! The beach is very nice on the west end. And the unit does have some beach toys. Best of all no skeeters on the beach! Our only frustration was check-in - keys must be picked up and dropped off in Galveston. Since we came in from the west that added on at least 45 miles each way to our trip - normally we would access the island over San Luis Pass - not Galveston. If Ryson changed to combo key locks - that would guarantee we would rent from them again. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but driving 90 miles round trip to get keys is a bit of a downer. Overall we had a fantastic time. The unit was great. Beach was wonderful (TS Beta not withstanding) and of course Galveston is just one cool place to visit. We loved our (almost) week at the beach - can't wait to do it again!”
