The house is in great location! It’s roomy and the backyard with the deck is so nice!! There was a cat that perched on the back porch whining and acting like it wanted in. I tapped on the window and it ran off.

Fun house for a Galveston stay

Perfect house for a quick weekend getaway for my family to do a little fishing, hang out on the beach, and hit up local restaurants. The house was a comfortable fit for us and had everything we needed. We loved having the deck to hang out together outside (make sure you bring mosquito spray!). Also saw some prior reviews but wanted to mention the AC worked great

Amazing stay!

Great place to relax after our busy city visits, was located in a quiet neighbourhood just a short drive to the beach. The layout suited our family and the outside areas were lovely to relax in and enjoy the lake and sunshine. Would definitely use again if we visit Galveston in the future.

The best spot in Galveston

This place is quite literally the best spot in Galveston. It's not far from the strand or from the beach and the neighborhood is very inviting and relaxing. The deck is wonder full and the house is great for bigger groups. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Galveston.

We enjoyed our stay at this home very much.

The home was very comfortable and clean. Location was awesome! Just takes a few minutes to get to the beach and all the restaurants and stores. My husband enjoyed fishing off the boat dock and actually caught some fish. Sitting out on the deck was very relaxing and peaceful. We woulld book this home again for a vacation in Galveston.

Overall it was a lovely property in a beautiful location! When we checked in, there was trash left (see photos) throughout the house which wasn’t the nicest. But my friends greatly enjoyed the deck and were overall quite comfortable.
