Great location and family oriented home
The owners clearly try very hard to ensure families that stay here have everything they need, from games to beach supplies. They also self manage and are quick to answer questions and provide help if needed.

Great house!
This house was perfect for our Girls Trip. I also rented the golf cart. It is really slow and not much power but it got us to the beach and back. Just a note to include more than one TP roll for each bathroom.

Best of Times
Our week at Best of Times was fantastic! The house has a beach vibe and is extremely comfortable. There are beach pails and every toy or game you could want for fun on the beach or playing indoors! Inside, all drawers and cupboards are labeled so everything is easy to find. The owners even provide a beautiful tour guide as well as flyers and other info regarding Galveston sights and eateries! Simply an amazing beach house!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Hergenrader

Host profile image
I am a BOI (born on island) and grew up in Galveston, just a few miles from Pirates Beach. After moving to Houston and marrying a Midwesterner (and having four kids!), we have rediscovered how enchanting Galveston is. Through years of family vacations, all of us have fallen in love with Galveston.
Dreams really do come true! In 2013, our family discovered Best of Times, the perfect family beach house. Now, we are so excited to share it with YOUR family.
Our kids have lots of energy and busy schedules. Galveston is the perfect place for us to get away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia and enjoy each other. We are a Christian family, who would love to share this blessing with you.
We hope you also discover this beach house is perfect for making family memories. We hope you can reconnect with the people you love the most. We hope you can find your own Best of Times.

Why they chose this property

Best of Times is the perfect size. We go to the beach to relax, but we also go to be together. The large, open family room and dining area lets us enjoy each other. The three bedrooms and two baths gives us plenty of room to spread out.
Our family loves Pirates Beach. Ice cream trucks come by every afternoon, golf carts carry families and groups of friends to the beach, and dog-walkers and shell-seekers wave from the quiet streets below our deck.
The house is a short drive to the island's most interesting attractions; yet, it's far enough from the city that we can relax.

What makes this property unique

The large lower deck is shaded and has a refrigerator to keep your drinks cool. We also have toys and chairs for you to take to the beach.
We welcome pets, with some restrictions.
