The pride the owners have for their place is very evident. Quite possibly the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. Not even a cobweb! Owners were quick to respond even when we had a question on Christmas Day for them. In a very quiet area and we felt very safe staying there. Would definitely stay there again. Very convenient to Moody Gardens where most of our activities were.

We traveled with our twin 4.5 year olds and our 1.5 year old and we absolutely enjoyed our stay here!! You can tell the owners have put a ton of thought and care into the property, from the puzzles and toys inside, to the bikes and kids’ ride on toys outside!! This was the perfect spot for our little family beach vacay! Our youngest was obsessed with the little pink ride-on car and scooters. My husband and I really enjoyed sitting outside with a cold beverage on the porch and at the downstairs bar area in the evenings once the kids were asleep too! Everything was super clean and fresh! The nearby coffee shop in the Evia community was a favorite of mine as well! Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return for another stay some time!!

My family absolutely LOVED our weekend at Long Time No Sea! There was something for everyone, my husband and I stayed here with our 16 year old, 13 year old and 8 month old along with my best friend. The kids were SO excited about all of the fun things in the garage, they really enjoyed evening bike rides down to the end of the road and liked watching the sunset over the water. The fact that there was a high chair and pack and play already at the house made packing so much easier for us, as well as all of the items for the beach meant less for us to bring from home as well! My best friend stayed in the downstairs bedroom and enjoyed having her own space. We really enjoyed breakfast at Lil Buffalo Grill and greatly appreciated the advice from The Elrods on beach locations, they were amazing hosts and promptly responded to all of our questions! The beds were comfortable, the kids really liked the fact that there were plush blankets for them to use. We also all really enjoyed hanging out on the porch in the evenings, there was a wonderful view and the breeze made it that much nicer. We made a lot of great memories and won’t hesitate to book with them again!

If you want a clean , quiet, and restful place to stay and enjoy family and relax , look no further , this home is great . Our host was absolutely amazing and the little extras like bikes and boogie boards was a great surprise.

This cottage is absolutely adorable. It is very clean, beautifully decorated, and family friendly. We enjoyed several items on the property such as bikes for riding around the neighborhood, extra beach equipment, and of course, the deck for the bay views. Another great feature about this place is that there are electrical outlets everywhere! It was nice not having to argue over who gets to plug in their device. That’s one of those little things that gets overlooked but makes a world of difference. I give this place a 10 out of 10 and look forward to staying here again.

Our family stayed for a beach vacation and this home was the perfect spot for us. The home itself was clean and had everything we needed, including items for the beach which was very convenient. The location can’t be beat! We enjoyed our stay and would happily come back to this wonderful home again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house has everything you could think of and more.everything was extremely clean and organized. The view of the bay from the front porch was relaxing and the location of the house was close to everything we were wanting to do. The communication with the Elrods was amazing! Would highly recommend.

The house was so cute and perfect for my family group of five adults. The decor was delightful, the beds were comfortable, the room temperature was refreshing, and the water was hot and plentiful. The hosts were very helpful, suggesting great places to go and eat. We had such a good time and are sure to return.

We took a family trip and decided on this property in Galveston thanks to location and reviews. We were not disappointed. The only worry we had was the property seemed small from the photos, but it was plenty big. We wanted a spot where my 2 kids could have their own rooms and the stay would feel like home, which it did.
The location was minutes to Pleasure Pier, downtown and sunny beach. It was also close to plenty of stores to get supplies and souvenirs. The restaurants in the area were also wonderful including Buffalo Grill, Coopers Landing and pizza downtown called Mama Teresa's that was sooo good.
All in all we loved our stay. The property was clean and comfortable with great view of the waterway from the front porch to enjoy our morning coffee. We don't repeat a lot of vacations, but if we came back to Galveston we would be happy to stay here.

Took our little family to the beach. We enjoyed a fun weekend in this little house. It was clean and just what we needed . Set up perfectly for kids with some toys to keep them busy. Only note for people reading tons of houses, the 3rd bedroom is separate from the main living space. It still worked fine, I just missed that in the listing. Still a great house to use. Thanks!

A lovely property, with quick access to all of the Galveston favorites, but away from all of the craziness at the Seawall! A hidden gem- our family is older but all ages will do well here. We will be back!

Perfect location for a golf weekend at Moody. The house is clean, and the A/C worked great - everything we wanted for a guy's golf weekend. The house is minutes away from the course. And the proximity to Buffalo Grille made for a nice pre-round breakfast stop.

It was a very quiet and good place for my family to relax. Its not in the busy part but it is just a short drive from all the attractions, which we liked. Jason was quick to respond to anything we needed.
Thanks again!

We enjoyed this house so much! The Elrods have done a great job outfitting it & they are so kind & easy to work with. The views of the canal from the great front porch are pretty & peaceful. It was our first time in Galveston- we’re from NC & we celebrated our son/daughter-in-laws’ 30th birthdays. A perfect getaway for them from Houston! The house is in a quiet neighborhood close to Evia & the beach. Jamie gave us excellent dinner & activity suggestions. Our son & his wife will return & rent this house again!

Morning sunrise with coffee, sunset with chocolate milk. Grandkid safe, golfers dream, wake up and walk to the best coffee shops or Mimosa Brunch spot! Location is a gem! The Elrod family spot has all the technical advances with T.V. and strong WiFi if you have to work and support the family. There is a great golf course and fun airport to watch single engine planes land. No jets, no noise and completely relatable! The true gem is you never leave, you can watch sun rise in ur Jammies and sunset! I felt safe with my family with the tech advances the house is equipped with. This house will make you want to buy the property next door!

This is a beautiful place to stay. Very convenient to everything. Everything that you needed was at the house. Will definitely put this in my favorites for another trip.

The house was great. It’s on a low traffic street right near the bay with great views from the front and back. Front of the house faces east, and back faces west with a great view of the estuary at sunset. Close to Moody Gardens and the beach. The layout of the house was really nice. Great kitchen for cooking, and the deck on the front is really nice. We had a really nice stay, and hope to go back again.

My husband and I decided we wanted to take our seven-year-old on a short trip during Spring Break and found this house on Vrbo. It's a fairly new listing so it didn't have a lot of reviews yet, but what I did read was very positive and I liked the look of the place from the pictures so I decided to book it. I'm so glad I did. The hosts were so friendly in their communication and let us know that helping families build memories was important to them, and it showed. The house looks just like the pictures and felt homey and inviting as soon as we walked in. There were games, four beach cruisers, a scooter, beach toys, and even a dog bed, provided for use. Everything was clean and easy to use/find. And, while this is not why we booked it, it had a rain shower that was so relaxing after a long day out!
The house is in a quiet neighborhood on the west side of the island. It's very close to the Moody Gardens and golf course, and the beach is just a few minutes drive away. If you are looking for something family-friendly and a place to relax that looks and feels "beachy" then I definitely recommend this place.

The property was clean and beautiful. It was off the beaten path, hence less traffic, but still close to everything. The downstairs bedroom was a neat little hidey-hole too! Overall, very enjoyable.

We had a great stay at the cute beach house! We had so much fun! It’s immaculate. You can tell the owners care about their beach house and those who stay there. Their communication is great. They are so nice. This is the best Vrbo I’ve ever seen. You can’t go wrong here. It’s located one row from the bay. One front lot is empty. We could hear the water lapping on the front porch. It’s well decorated. And, it’s a close drive to everywhere. We highly recommend it!

We were impressed by both the outside and inside appearances and conditions. Everything is fresh, like new and very nicely decorated. Although the house might seem small based solely on square footage, the utilization of the floor space makes it seem larger. We had plenty of room for our group of 5. The hosts are outstanding. The location is quiet. Access to our favorite spots in Galveston was easy with close proximity to Stewart Avenue and connecting streets.

We had a great experience at Long Time No Sea. The host was very helpful with suggestions for the area. There is also gate on the top of the stairs which is very helpful with young children! (Did I mention a basket full of toys😊) The location of the home was a close distance to most Galveston attractions as well.
