“Loved it!! Can't wait to visit again! ”
We loved our stay! From the welcome card and treats to the check - in via text, the hospitality was spectacular. We had a lovely time and really, really enjoyed the property. It is beautiful and modern and everything is provided -- EVERYTHING!! You don't have to pack up your house or kitchen utensils for the luxuries you are used to at home, the property is fully stocked with everything except for food. It has a Keurig and regular coffee maker, toaster, microwave, ziploc bags, paper towels, toilet paper, towels, and so much more. And, did I mention that it is beautiful? We will be recommending the properly to others and also visiting again. It was a great time!!

“Literally PERFECTION!!!! Run, don't walk to book this home.”
From the second we walked into the home we knew we hit the jackpot. The cleanliness is very apparent from the moment you arrive. My husband actually said that the home reminded him of the cleanliness of the Ritz Carlton in Laguna. (which we had stayed in recently). Everything in the home is first class in every way. Even the drawers interiors are CLEAN and organized. The bathroom is divine, and again SPOTLESS. Beds are so cozy and high quality everything from mattresses to pillows to bedding. Tvs is bedrooms were large and placed perfectly for easy viewing. Kitchen has everything you could need, or want and drawers were labeled and so well organized and SO CLEAN. Communication with owner was easy and warm. Great area that is close to everything. Parking is easy as there is a space in the driveway as well as parking in front of the home. We stay in lots of places over the years and this is, by far, one of the BEST and honestly, out of hundreds of vacation rentals, it was probably the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Oh also, AC works perfectly. It was 98 outside and house was cold in all rooms.

This air bnb was fantastic! The pictures matched the house perfectly. I have never seen such a clean air bnb. Everything from the coastal décor to little touches in the design of the house was great. The owners were responsive and even left us desserts and a card to celebrate our weekend which was the perfect personal touch. We particularly liked the comfy beds, large tvs, grand kitchen, and beachy feel of the house. The house was also close to popular destinations and restaurants. We were even able to walk to some places. I would definitely recommend this stay and will be back in the future if I am ever in Galveston!

Great Location/Great Amenities
We used this property for a couples weekend getaway. The property was spacious enough for three couples to comfortable stay. The rental provides a ton of amenities from kitchen appliances to plenty of beach equipment. There’s plenty of space inside and outside the property to relax and enjoy your stay. Short walk to the beach and very close to the strand as well. Very hard to beat the location, the amenities and the price.

Beautiful home
The home was beautiful and the host were exceptionally hospitable. We loved our time there. Our pups enjoyed their stay too. The home even provided food and water bowl and potty bags for helping to clean up after our little ones. The only challenge we’re the large dogs next door. They seemed friendly enough, but the short fence allowed one of them to come over it at one point. We made sure Tom go out with our pups every time, just to make sure all was well.

Response:Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are thrilled to hear that you found our property, Turquoise Shells, beautiful and hospitable and that you and your pups had an enjoyable stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the neighboring dogs. Please be assured that we take the safety of our guests and their pets seriously, and we have already discussed the issue with the renters and owner of the home next door. We are pleased to inform you that the dogs and the current renter have moved out so shouldn’t be an issue for future guests. :) Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your furry companions back in the future for an even better experience. -Pravin & Leena

Leena's place was very nice. My husband's only complaint was not being able to catch local tv stations as well as ESPN. The mattresses on the bed's were not the most comfortable.

Response:Thank you for reviewing Turquoise Shells. We are so glad to hear that you found our place to be nice. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the local TV stations and ESPN. We would like to clarify that our listing explicitly states that we only have smart TVs with Roku, which most guests find convenient as they can log in using their own cable, dish, or streaming service. Regarding the mattresses, we have intentionally chosen to provide a variety of four different types of mattresses in the hope of accommodating the diverse preferences of our guests. However, we understand that comfort is subjective, and what may be comfortable for one guest may not be for another. Thank you for choosing Turquoise Shells for your stay. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. - Pravin and Leena

This is one the cleanest, most put together Airbnb’s I have ever stayed at. I have very high standards for cleanliness and there wasn’t any spot of this home that wasn’t immaculate. The home was also decorated very well, had extremely comfortable beds/pillows and all amenities that you could need. It was in a great location as well, anywhere you’d go you’re always about 5 mins from the Airbnb. Our hosts were very responsive, was accommodating to an earlier check in time which they did not need to do, and was available when I had any questions. We enjoyed the stay at this home and would definitely stay again!

PERFECT!
Due to an unexpected hospital stay and death of a family member, we found ourselves in Galveston, and then after an effortless check-in, at Turquoise Shells. Pravin and Leena were amazing, and when we needed to extend our stay, they were easy to communicate with and extremely kind. Their beautifully renovated and impeccably maintained property was the peaceful oasis that we needed in the middle of our personal storm. Turquoise Shells is professionally decorated, incredibly organized and has many extra touches like plush towels, a multi- plug phone charging station and a stocked coffee bar area. We will be coming back to this property under better circumstances to enjoy the beach and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone renting from Pravin and Leena!

Response:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Turquoise Shells. We are deeply sorry for your loss and the difficult circumstances that brought you to Galveston. However, we are glad to hear that your stay with us was able to provide you with a peaceful oasis during such a challenging time. We look forward to welcoming you back to Turquoise Shells under better circumstances, so you can fully enjoy the beach and all that the Island has to offer. Thank you for recommending us, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance in the future. Our heartfelt condolences for your loss. -Pravin & Leena
