Loft near the Strand
If your looking for a convenient cozy loft, that’s nestled near downtown, the strand and close to the seawall than look no further. The host was extremely helpful, prepared a guidebook and everything was within walking distance with where we needed to go. If you’re looking for a loft with convenience and a comfortable stay than look no further.

Location is PERFECT!
Upon arrival we didn't know what door to use as it was very dark at night, after we figured out the door to get in, everything was a breeze! I felt very safe walking our small dog, please note there is no grass nearby so you're going to have to leash up and walk a little bit down the road, but it was perfect! I found a little coffee shop that was also pet friendly! Loft was good, clean, as pictured. Water pressure was good in the shower, no complaints. FYI, the trash bin it located behind the building, people were using the sidewalk trash can to dispose of their loft trash.

Clean cute loft really close to the strand
We just stayed one night, but this was a nice little place. It is a loft, so there is a long set of stairs going up to it. We didn’t have any problems with it. The bed was really comfortable. There’s a fridge and a coffee pot and they were nice enough to have coffee in here which was great in the morning.

Short Stay in Galveston
The Apartment is clean and easy to access. Only a couple blocks from Strand and a short walk from other places on Post Office or further down. My only, minor complaint: As I am unaware of Galveston parking enforcement, leaving the car over the day seemed risky at first. No tickets ensued for me though, as such it was a great place!

Mardi Gras Getaway
My husband and I checked in right at 4 to a clean space. Seemed smaller than pictures but accurate to online pics. Positives: Bed was comfortable, it was clean, tv easy to use, large bathroom. Negatives: light from outside coming in window(we hung a towel over window), shower had almost no cool water, and very small water pressure

Valentine trip
My husband and I came for Valentine’s weekend. Loft was in a good location for walking to the strand, and area restaurants. Loft was clean and comfortable. We did not cook but it is well stocked if u want to. Had a little problem getting key out of lock box. Overall had a great time a would use this loft again.
Overall this property worked well for what we needed. Close to cruise terminal and restaurants.

Perfect for our overnight stay before our cruise.
Our less than 5 rating is a reflection of: 1. getting errors in the VRBO app & email links when trying to contact BeachBox and 2. Electrical outlet only at the kitchen and bathroom counters and 3. Issue one key on the keypad to enter the building.

It’s a cute place. Lots of stairs to get up to the loft. It was just me and my adult daughter. We had a great time. Walking distance to the strand. I would stay here again if the need arises.

The stay was great but....
It was great but not advisable for senior citizens. To get to the apartment we had to go straight up a flight of 20 stairs. It was hard for two ladies in their 70s to get their luggage up and down the stairs, otherwise everything was great with the place. Street parking was tough because it is in a 2 hour limited parking street.

Couples Secret Getaway
This property is just as it is explained it had everything we needed. It may not be on the beach however, this spot was in a great location and within walking distance to the strand, I think 2 blocks. Awesome place for couples who are looking for a getaway, just for themselves. Cozy, fun, convenient and comfortable.

Great location for the Strand
Overall, the loft was fit our needs for attending Dickens on the Strand very well. The pictures are an exact match to reality. We both felt that all the furniture was meant for very light people and couldn't use the eating table at all.
What we loved - the size of the shower. Absolutely huge. Also, everything was clean and in it's place. Accessing the exterior door and then the loft door was easy.
What we didn't love - the uneven stairs leading to the upper floor. We realize it's a historic building, but the handrail could be tightened up. The stairs felt a bit dangerous with baggage and going up/down in long skirts. Most of the wear appeared to be on the side with the rail.
Some suggestions - additional blankets and pillows, removing "oven" and "desk" from the amenities as neither of these are present in the loft. Can some glow tape or something be added to emphasize the step into and out of the bathroom? We had to leave a bathroom light on all night.
Regarding electric outlets, there was an empty outlet on the wall the TV is on, the outlet above the sink, and an outlet in the bathroom.
Overall, for a small group, this is perfect for exploring the Strand.

Cozy place to stay
Loved this little cozy spot! The pictures look exactly like the property. We stay in Galveston often and this is by far the most convenient location! The apartment had everything we needed for a 2 stay night stay. What to expect – safe area, historic property, street parking. You will access into the building next to downstairs business’s with stairs that lead up to your loft. If you are looking for a fun, relaxed spot, I’d recommend this place!
