I have stayed at several Airbnb’s and this host was by far the most accommodating, friendly, experienced host I’ve ever worked with. The property was beautiful and just as it was described on the site. I would definitely recommend this property for family or friends getting together. The check-in was easy and the host sends you links for activities and restaurants and recommendations. Just an overall outstanding stay!

Absolutely beautiful place! We had an amazing time at the house for Christmas. Everything was as described and the amenities were incredible! Jakeb was incredibly accommodating and responsive. Wonderful experience all the way around. Can't say enough about how wonderful everything was.

Wonderful stay, if you're thinking about it, BOOK IT, you won't regret it. The best house we've ever stayed at! Beautiful

We loved our stay at this beautiful new house! We had 3 families (6 adults, 6 girls ages 7-12 and two pups). There was more than enough space. The house is very close to the beach walkover and totally walkable to the beach, even in the Texas heat for kids. We had a golf cart, but it was totally not necessary as it doesn't help you get closer to the beach and there was so much parking for cars at the community center and pool. We wouldn't get one when coming back. Jakeb was very easy to communicate with! Very helpful and flexible. He has thought of everything. The beach towels, toys, chairs, wagon, and dog crate were awesome to have there and not have to pack. Can't wait to go back!

This home delivered above and beyond! One of the only homes with views of bay, and ocean that offers a large pool to accommodate bigger crowds! Beautifully designed with all tech offerings, Google in kitchen, sound system by pool, coffee in rooms, games for kids, and enough TOWELS for everyone! (Huge win!). Favorite amenities include the ice machine, in bar area so you never have to run to gas station, spa next to pool, pool toys already downstairs, bags for those fun nights on the patio, plenty of TVs for kids not to fight over! (Bunk rooms include new headsets for kids and private reading lights). The hosts (Jake/Janiece) we're by far the most responsive, helpful, gracious in providing the cutest welcome kit on the kitchen island, felt like a home away from home! Worth every dollar!

Our family gathers once a year to simply spend time together. We cook, play games, have a glass of wine or two and mostly just love and laugh. Jakeb's place was simply heaven for our yearly get- together! The house is welcoming, spacious, beautiful, and private. The views of both the ocean and the bay are amazing! Sunsets are breathtaking from the third floor. Jakeb was THE-BEST-AIRBNB- HOST-EVER! He was kind, helpful, attentive, and went out of his way to ensure our time at his home enhanced our weekend in every way. We simply could not have asked for a better person to help us with the details of our trip and his personal touch definitely set this trip apart from all the previous ones. This property is perfect for large groups so if you have a family that loves to spend time together and create great memories, I could not recommend this home more! Thank you Jakeb! We look forward to renting from you again!

Lovely, spacious home steps away from the beach. Jakeb was more than accommodating making a last minute reservation for our large family. He was an absolute joy to work with. Thanks for an amazing stay!

My family and I met at Pura Vida for a long weekend beach vacation and it was perfect. The house itself was everything we needed for my large family. We had several kids in our group and the pool and provided pools toys were perfect. It was short and easy walk to the beach and the beach chairs and umbrellas that were provided at the house were awesome to have, especially since there was a cart too! The location of the house was perfect for us, the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet considering it was a holiday weekend. Easy to get to from Houston. Will definitely look to stay here again if we are back in Galveston!

This house was perfect for our group of 5 adults and 5 kids. The location was great and the house was very clean. Most importantly, Jakeb was one of the best hosts we've encountered. He was very responsive with all our questions about the amenities and additional housing items before check-in. Additionally, Jakeb very kindly accommodated our early check-in request. We would absolutely stay at this house or another one of Jakeb's properties in the future!

We rented Jake's house for our annual summer trip with extended family. We had 7 adults and 8 kids and there was not only plenty of room, but everything was spacious, well decorated and clean. Jake was super responsive to my questions months and weeks leading up to the trip (as well as during the trip). We had an issue pop up with the AC and it was fixed within hours, which was a huge relief considering we had two 11 month olds with us on the trip. The kids loved the pool and all the toys that were in the garage. It's a great house for large groups!

This house is awesome! It was perfect for our size family. Not only is it beautiful, it's comfortable too. They had every small appliance, bowl, dish glass, cup & serving piece you could imagine! Very well stocked! Even with spices and a few necessities. Plus all the baby equipment! Having a swimming pool has become a "need" for us. This one, plus the hot tub, exceeded our expectations. The walk to the beach was very doable, even with the small children. Jake was a superb host! Very friendly, helpful and informative. Thank you for helping make it a fun vacation for the whole family!

I can't recommend this place enough. Jake was such a great host, super communicative and made sure to accommodate all of my needs. The home is honestly better than described. It was such a beautiful stay, a walk away from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was fully stocked with all essentials that you'd need to have an amazing weekend. From pool supplies, beach toys, outdoor skillet, stocked kitchen, and even cocktail tools to entertain guests. We opted in to have the pool heated and it was the best decision made. I can't thank Jake enough for having us!

Fantastic getaway! My family had a wonderful time. Our host made us feel welcome and offered such great communication to make our stay perfect. From allowing an early checkin to providing wonderful surprises throughout the stay. We had the best time in the pool and grilling out. The host provided everthing we could have ever needed to make a celebratory weekend memorable. This is a beautiful home with the most comfortable beds. This home allowed all family members to have enough space to really relax. Just loved it! Wish i could have stayed longer. Thank you for the cherished momories.

I rented Jakeb's listing for my 30th birthday, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The home was exactly as pictured - stunning, clean, and very well designed! Jakeb was extremely responsive throughout the weekend, and he did everything to make sure my friends and I felt right at home - they even went the extra mile by having a cake waiting for me at check in! Ten out of ten experience. The home and the host were AMAZING, and I'm already thinking of coming back for a weekend getaway with my family!
