Across many reviews, guests describe WATERFRONT! Pool! Nature's Oasis on the Island as a peaceful, family-friendly waterfront retreat with a great pool and fishing dock, comfortable beds, responsive hosts, and a quiet yet convenient location near Galveston sights.
Backyard privacy with vegetation, wildlife sightings like dolphins and birds, and boat-friendly canal access are common highlights. Several reviews praise cleanliness and a well-stocked kitchen, though a few report housekeeping lapses such as unwashed linens, missed spots, and a smelly refrigerator. Expect a calm, nature-focused retreat suited to families and small groups.

This is the second time we stayed at this house. It has a great fenced in yard for our dog and the pool is great. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, too. We loved it!

This location is great. No through traffic, easy access to anywhere in downtown via Harborside or 61st. We enjoyed the pool and fishing from the dock. If you bring a boat to Galveston this would be a great choice.. as it has a marina nearby and easy bay access

The best feature of this vacation home is easily the backyard. Part of our group preferred fishing, and the other half preferred the pool. It worked out perfectly that we could all do what we wanted and still feel like we were together.The pool is perfect for adults and children as it slopes from 2-5 feet deep. My 4-year-old niece could easily stand in the shallow end. Our group caught many fish off the pier. Each side of the backyard is bordered by thick vegetation, so it feels very private. One of the full bathrooms is downstairs, making it easily accessible from the backyard. The upstairs living area was comfortable, there was plenty of room for everyone in the living room. Two couples did shared one of the full baths, but everything worked out great. Everyone had a great time, and we would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable home with a pool. Just what we wanted. It is situated in a waterfront cove surrounded by beauty and birds! The pool looked fairly new and was perfect for lounging-deepest part was around five feet. Comfortable beds;well stocked kitchen;all the right amenities, even pool floats! Within a short distance to great restaurants, beaches and shopping.

Great place to stay close enough to get down seawall and 10min from the strand. Very quiet location and great dock to sit on with a cold drink. They Richey family where very accommodating and super responsive. I would highly recommend if you have a boat since it's in a quite canal. The small yard was great for our dog to do her business and everything is fenced in so it was a great property for a pet. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The host communicated with us and was quick to answer questions. The house was very clean and there was ample room for everyone. The dock is big and accommodated six fishermen at once! We spent more time fishing than in the pool, but it was nice and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone respects the noise curfew. This is a great spot for larger families. I can’t find anything to complain about.

Communication is super, however the floor was icky. Couch had crumbs and feels itchy as well as the beds. The minute we open the door the house looks dark and eerie. Just my opinion if the house decor look more vibrant in lighter color guest would step in and feel more comfortable.

While you can see that the property has been cleaned there are obviously steps that are being skipped. Absolutely none of the bed linens had been laundered in at least several stays. They were very dirty with many different types of hair in beds as well as used napkins. We had to wash before we could sleep. Host did communicate and send cleaners next day. No apologies though. Implied we weren’t being honest by sending clean house pictures. I have pictures of beds.

For a large rental the parking is inadequate. The rental was nice but needed better cleaning service as some areas like under beds and under furniture seat cushions needed attention. the Pool was great, and dock area was nice. overall we had a good time in Galveston with family.

My family and I had a great stay at the frog house. Plenty of room and everything was very clean and organized. We loved being right on the marina and my son and I caught several different types of fish (and blue crabs) right off the dock. The neighborhood was quiet and close to many of the island’s attractions.

We had a great time staying here for an end of summer family vacation. We had grandparents, two kids (9 and 13) and our pets with us! We really enjoyed the pool, fishing off the dock, and taking our inflatable kayaks out for a spin on the canal. When we needed a break from the sun we watched movies, played board games, and visited in the living room and at the table. It was also a plus having a short drive to Moody Gardens, the beach, and the Strand. Two thumbs up for very comfortable beds and a fun bunk bed in the kids’ room.The hosts are so helpful and quick to respond. We will be back!

Lovely little gem. Perfect for a quiet escape to relax. Private fishing and swimming were ideal, and the vegetation lining both sides of the back of the property adds to the sense of peace and seclusion/privacy. Beds were SO comfy. Observing wildlife in the preserve across the street from the property was lovely also. Very convenient location to order in or go into town for food and fun. We sent a few messages to the hosts along the way, who replied promptly and were most helpful. We greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again.

Very peaceful and comfortable atmosphere! Short drive to the Sea Wall and beaches, the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in, excellent water pressure, very homey feeling! The dolphin sightings right from the back yard, and sea turtle feeding from the dock was a major highlight. The pool was a bit chilly as our trip was in October, BUT we still thoroughly enjoyed it with the kiddos. Painting on the balcony during down time was a mental reset that was much needed and enjoyed as well, and the sun rise view is gorgeous! We will definitely book again, our short amount of time was NOT long enough!

We chose this property for the amazing views. It did not disappoint!! We wanted to get away from our daily activities to have time to unwind and decompress from our high stress jobs and have a kid free/spouse free weekend. We stopped at a local HEB (grocery store) 20 min from the house to stock up on food and beverages. We enjoyed the beautiful TX fall weather with views from the dock and pool area, as well as the water reserve area located in front of the home. The owners were attentive and easy to communicate with. There is an easy to follow guide binder in the living room that includes the history of Galveston, check out procedures, local places to dine, and more. They even have a quick QR code as you come up the stairs to the main living space for Wifi access. The property is spacious and I look forward to bringing the family for a vacation getaway, as there is plenty of room for all of us. Highly recommend this property!!!!!

First vacation with my daughter’s in-laws. We had a wonderful time! 11 adults and the cutest baby ever! We had plenty of space, the kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms were incredibly comfortable. Everything was beautiful, neat and tidy. The backyard is a dream. Beautiful fishing dock with swimming pool. We spent a lot of time out there - amazing sunrises and sunsets. We saw a dolphin in the canal! Lots of parking in front the house. Close to the Seawall and all other Galveston attractions. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great place to stay close enough to get down seawall and 10min from the strand. Very quiet location and great dock to sit on with a cold drink. They Richey family where very accommodating and super responsive. I would highly recommend if you have a boat since it's in a quite canal. The small yard was great for our dog to do her business and everything is fenced in so it was a great property for a pet. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Our stay at the Tree Frog was amazing and the property manager was beyond helpful and kind through our entire renting process. The backyard is a literal paradise that makes you feel like you’ve traveled to Bermuda. When you look up, you realize both only r you in the tropics but the beautiful wonderland of the serene canal with the fish jumping, hundreds of birds frolicking and airplanes and boats passing by gingerly. It’s just gorgeous. No complaints. The home fit 10 of us with no problem. The basement, where you enter is so spacious with a huge sofa set that 20 people could sleep down there (don’t do that though!! lol). As you proceed upstairs and look at the unbelievable view, you know you’ve picked the right place. Three bedrooms upstairs and 3 full bathrooms (one down and two up) is wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about h the e Richey’s and their lovely home. (Advice….beauty to read the notebook they’ve left, full of hints and tricks and history and fun). Thank you for a lovely stay.

There is an easy to follow guide binder in the living room that includes the history of Galveston, check out procedures, local places to dine, and more. They even have a quick QR code as you come up the stairs to the main living space for Wifi access. The property is spacious and I look forward to bringing the family for a vacation getaway, as there is plenty of room for all of us. Highly recommend this property!!!!!

Check in and communication are excellent and timely. Home is cozy but roomy. All the amenities as listed. Pool was really nice but the pier!!!! The pier was amazing for mornings and sunsets and all the family fishing in between. Hope to visit again in April.

This location is great. No through traffic, easy access to anywhere in downtown via Harborside or 61st. We enjoyed the pool and fishing from the dock. If you bring a boat to Galveston this would be a great choice.. as it has a marina nearby and easy bay access

So happy this beautiful property was available. Very surprised with such a busy galveston tourist time. This place is right on the water, bay side which i perfer. Keeps all the traffic and people away..felt like a private resort. House was super spacious and had everything you need to make the stay comfortable. Pool was just the perfect size and with a perfect view of the bay. Our family dog had a blast and was secure with the fenced in pool and backyard area. We will definitely be booking again!! Thanks Andrew

Very peaceful and comfortable atmosphere! Short drive to the Sea Wall and beaches, the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in, excellent water pressure, very homey feeling! The dolphin sightings right from the back yard, and sea turtle feeding from the dock was a major highlight. The pool was a bit chilly as our trip was in October, BUT we still thoroughly enjoyed it with the kiddos. Painting on the balcony during down time was a mental reset that was much needed and enjoyed as well, and the sun rise view is gorgeous! We will definitely book again, our short amount of time was NOT long enough!

Comfortable home with a pool. Just what we wanted. It is situated in a waterfront cove surrounded by beauty and birds! The pool looked fairly new and was perfect for lounging-deepest part was around five feet. Comfortable beds;well stocked kitchen;all the right amenities, even pool floats! Within a short distance to great restaurants, beaches and shopping.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed, and the kids enjoyed the pool. It was nice to be so close to the water but also not in the middle of all of the Galveston traffic. We would love to come back another time!

Great place to stay close enough to get down seawall and 10min from the strand. Very quiet location and great dock to sit on with a cold drink. They Richey family where very accommodating and super responsive. I would highly recommend if you have a boat since it's in a quite canal. The small yard was great for our dog to do her business and everything is fenced in so it was a great property for a pet. I would definitely consider staying here again.

We chose this property for the amazing views. It did not disappoint!! We wanted to get away from our daily activities to have time to unwind and decompress from our high stress jobs and have a kid free/spouse free weekend. We stopped at a local HEB (grocery store) 20 min from the house to stock up on food and beverages. We enjoyed the beautiful TX fall weather with views from the dock and pool area, as well as the water reserve area located in front of the home. The owners were attentive and easy to communicate with. There is an easy to follow guide binder in the living room that includes the history of Galveston, check out procedures, local places to dine, and more.

First vacation with my daughter’s in-laws. We had a wonderful time! 11 adults and the cutest baby ever! We had plenty of space, the kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms were incredibly comfortable. Everything was beautiful, neat and tidy. The backyard is a dream. Beautiful fishing dock with swimming pool. We spent a lot of time out there - amazing sunrises and sunsets. We saw a dolphin in the canal! Lots of parking in front the house. Close to the Seawall and all other Galveston attractions. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat!

My family and I had a great stay at the frog house. Plenty of room and everything was very clean and organized. We loved being right on the marina and my son and I caught several different types of fish (and blue crabs) right off the dock. The neighborhood was quiet and close to many of the island’s attractions.

My friend and I just wanted a quick get-a-way and hadn't been to Galveston for a while. It was close to good restaurants and Moody Gardens. So, we had a very pleasant visit.
