The location is right on the beach. Great beach walking. The views of the gulf are amazing. Watched the moon rise from the deck one evening. The kitchen has everything needed to cook any meal. We enjoyed our stay and will return again. Fantastic house.
Over the years, we alway have an annual trip to the beach and have stayed in many homes and areas in Galveston and I have to say this one is on the top of my list! I loved the home itself, everything was perfect and so well stocked! The location was greatâŠalmost felt like we had a private beach! Highly recommend this home to anyone looking!!
Honestly, I was a little apprehensive about booking this place. It seemed a little dated (and by extension, dusty), but the location right on the beach clinched it for us. Boy, was I wrong to be nervous! The pictures don't do it justice. There's something interesting to look at everywhere your eyes fall. The art is trippy and delightful. There is whimsy everywhere. You just can't be depressed here. I literally forgot all my problems. And it was so clean. And the location was just perfect. The chairs on the deck are a beautiful spot to sit with a drink. The pool table was a bonus. Manager was super easy to reach and very helpful.My husband who doesn't care about these things, made me promise to keep booking this place over and over again as long as we keep going to the beach every year, and everyone agreed. Thank you for sharing An Artist's View with us, we absolutely loved it!
The property is well maintained, and you are steps from the beach. Even over Labor Day weekend, the beach was not crowded. There was a slight mildewy odor in the house that went away after the house was aired out. Otherwise, our visit went very well.
My trip got cancelled by Beryl, so Walter allowed me to reschedule and gave me an extra stay to make up for it. I couldn't get the family back together but I came to have a quiet remote work few days. The house was lovely and I can't wait for my whole family to enjoy it for our rescheduled date. I loved the porches to sit and drink coffee and watch the waves.
The location and view from this house were absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking out at the beach and water. The house was very nice and due to rain during our stay the pool table was a nice addition for entertainment. We had everything we needed and the owners were quick to respond to any question that we had prior to our visit. You wonât be disappointed.
This house was perfect for our family. The right number of rooms and bathrooms, great separation. Big kitchen, we werenât in each others way while prepping. Large table for meals and games. Right on the beach. Everything we needed, really hope to do it again.
A Perfect Blend of Scenic Views, Comfort, and Exceptional Hospitality
Our stay at the beach house was simply perfect, despite a recent storm that had passed through. The views and the beach remained breathtaking, and the home itself was beautifully appointed with everything we needed. The host was incredibly attentive, ensuring any needs were met promptly. It's the ideal place for a memorable beach getaway with family and friends, and we can't wait to come back!
The house is well-stocked, the host is super responsive, the neighborhood is quiet, the location is literal steps from the beach, the water was crystal clear and the sunset view from the deck is unbeatable. 2024 was the 10th annual beach trip for this group, this house is the only house we've repeated, and we'll be back next year.
This is an excellent place to stay with your family. Beautifully decorated inside and right on the breach. Well organized and set up for people to stay in.
Exceptional in every way. Not outfitted as a rental, but as a home with every convenience you would have in your own home. Very homy. The place is spacious in all the right places. Large open kitchen where up to 6 or 7 people can congregate to cook or socialize while making cocktails without the feel of being in a tight crowd. Large living room with a lodge high ceiling where 10 people can seat in comfort. Large long dining table to seat 10 or so people and eat together. Kitchen has amazing array of all the utensils, tools, food storage, appliances (large fridge, blender, ice maker, mixer) everything you would need. A large upstairs pool table, game and TV room overlooking the living room (too busy doing other things to use it). Parking for at least 10 cars. House fronts right on a beach that is private by nature of being deadended with no easy access by cars. Locals use golf carts. Surf has a very large shallow area maybe 1 foot deep near a rock breakwater suitable for small children. And a freight elevator to move all your food, luggage to the high first level. Beds not cheap. Good sleep. NO, we do not have a financial interest in this place. Just appreciate a place where the owners have gone aboveboard to outfit, maintain, and provide an exceptional place and location for a group of people to lodge together. We will be back!!!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything was there as was described in the booking. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the deck and windows. Beds were comfortable with plenty of blankets. We definitely recommend staying here.
This was a gorgeous property to spend our family Christmas. We had a few electrical issues due to weather but the owner was so attentive and the or else was resolved quickly . I can not recommend this house more! We will definitely be back.
perfect in 1 word, this was our mental therapy for a family member who has recently gone through cancer and it what the correct medicine, however we needed a bigger dosage, lol - this home gave her the peace and tranquility she needed, infusions called her back home, however this just means we will just have to go back to the The Artist View. The home is nestled in a corner pocket of the beach, spectacular views, huge kitchen, great for the whole family - the children all had plenty of space, my 80 yr old mother even found her a quiet corner to crochet, thank you Walter, this trip meant so much to our family, we will certainly plan for another visit, hopefully soon.
Family really enjoyed the stay, house was very comfortable and had everything needed. It's very near the beach and access was easy. Great fun for the kids. Host was quickly responsive when we had questions. Look forward to staying here next year on our "get away".
The house was great for 3 families of 4 on a long beach weekend.
We cooked all of our meals there and the large kitchen was very well-stocked for all of our needs.
The house is right on the beach which was very convenient for carrying all our beach gear down for an all-day stay or just hopping down for a morning walk or an evening fishing session.
Homeowner was very responsive and helpful when we needed to find some additional linens for the pullout couch but that was the only thing we found ourselves needing the entire weekend.
Our group has been traveling to the Texas Coast for a beach weekend every summer for 8 years and I think we may have found our first repeat beach house!
10/10 Recommend! :)
We love this house. Great views and room for everyone. We always at least 4 families with us and it is perfect inside and out. Literally steps from the beach. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
This was a family stay driven by our kids prom in Galveston. Although the weather was bad all weekend, we had a great time inside of the home as there were plenty of room, game room and hanes to keep us preoccupied. It was relaxing bieng close to the beach and lessening to the waves run! All in all great enjoyable house to relax in!
