Very quaint
We booked the property the night before our Royal Caribbean Cruise. It was a nice property that had everything we needed. It was close to the beach. Our kids loved that the owner left Easter cookies for them. Will stay again if we return to Galveston.

Overnight to attend a wedding in Galveston
Very nice and clean with lots of attention to the little details. Had some trouble with the TV upstairs and if it was more important at the time, I would have called about it. Will likely book again for a weekend in Galveston as the amenities are nice and the location was perfect. Had a good walk to the beach with my dog before we departed and the neighborhood was charming.

Fishing trip
Hot water didn’t work and I didn’t realize until I went to shower in the morning! The host’s representative re-acted quickly but I didn’t have time to get it fixed and wait for the tank to heat up before heading out. Very nice host and clean place and I’m sure this is a very unusual event but it made my stay a negative.

Quaint duplex property
We are a family of 4 from the UK. This duplex was conveniently located just a 12 minute walk to the seafront. The beds were super cumfy, as I prefer a firm bed, the garage was a bonus for easy access into the property. The inside was very clean with new toilets, oven and microwave, but would be greatly improved if a new kitchen and bathroom were ever fitted. Everything was labelled and easy to find. Winter is not really the best time to visit a seaside town, we only stayed 1 night of the 3 booked, however there is lots of history here with beautiful buildings and interesting museums. I can recommend the segway tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. If you're staying in the summer and are beachgoers I imagine it would be perfect! The host was helpful, responding immediately to messages.

Perfect location
Perfect location, right across from wonderful museum. Loved that there was reading material as well as beach chairs and toys so we didn't have to pack them.

We came to Galveston to go to the Christmas Wish show at Moody gardens and festival of lights for my mom's 82nd birthday! The house was the perfect size for the three of us.. and very clean.
