This was PERFECT for our family vacation! Exactly as described in the listing. Completely pet friendly with the fenced front and back yards. The yards are a bit small, but they were perfect for our 2 beagles. Would definitely stay here again!

This was our first time visiting Galveston and we didn't know what to expect. We came here for a conference at the Grand Galvez and this house was about an 8 minute walk away. The seawall was about 5 minutes away by walk. We stayed another 5 days to experience the area and we're so glad we did. The kitchen was well equipped but we honestly never ate dinner in because the restaurants were outstanding. "Downtown" and "the strand" was about 5 minutes by car, so we spent lots of evenings there as well as a few on the Gulf side at those restaurants. Fresh fish and veggies with an array of different ethnic concepts from around the world. Culinary delight. The house was extremely comfortable and the WiFi was good enough for 2 remote works to run simultaneously. We spent many evenings sitting around the table in the secluded back yard enjoying the night breezes. Thanks for a great stay!

The property was perfect for my stay. The ability to bring my dog a bonus. We didn't use the children's room but it was very nicely furnished. The master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. The shower is small but works as required. The spare room at the front of the house is perfect for pets but needs a little extra cleaning if someone is going to use the bed. There was lots of dog hair on the bed from previous renters. The back patio is perfectly private and offers a small grass area for pet needs. The hutch in the dining room has games. We enjoyed the cards and dice. Overall, the house has everything anyone needs for a comfortable stay.

Great property and location. There were four of us and we had plenty of space. We did some shopping in the Historic Strand area, ate awesome food, especially the Miller Cafe that was very close by. Did some sight seeing in the Historic houses area. Visited two very old cemeteries. Graves from the late 1800s. Not for everyone but we found them interesting. Rode the Colonial Paddle Boat at Moody Gardens. We visited Sea Wolf Park. Had a great time just relaxing in the evenings watching movies. Would recommend this mini vacation to everyone and this home.

First of all, the pictures do not do this place justice! My best friend and I brought our dog and 5 (total) kids ranging in age from 14 to 7, and we had a blast!! The house is in a great location, the neighborhood is very nice and well kept. The house does have a smaller living room, but the shotgun style makes it feel bigger. The beds were comfortable, and it was super clean. We would definitely rent this property again!

Very short walk to the beach. The kitchen had all the needed utensils. Plates pots pans etc for those who cook like we do. Down side of the kitchen is there isn’t a place to put your pantry items. Extremely pet friendly Full size washer and dryer. A very very extensive DVD collection. Nice patio area. Beds were comfortable. This was a good choice

We enjoyed our stay very much! We felt comfy and found to have everything we needed. We enjoyed the back porch while we listened to music and played cards. My husband and I got up and walked to the beach for a sunrise experience. The host is correct that you are only about 2 blocks to the water. The only issue we found to have was the keypad to enter the home. You MUST have patience with it or you will have to continue trying to get it unlocked. Put code in and press the lock/unlock and then wait! Other than that this home was a great place to stay. The environment around the home is very quiet as well!
