The house is exactly as described in the listing. There was plenty of room for all and everything you could possibly need. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked. Bring beach towels. Parking was more than sufficient in the back, but convenient street parking was also available. Mere blocks to the seawall and a short drive to the beach. Thanks for the hospitality.

Beautiful Home with great amenities, central to everything on the island. I would definitely stay here again! Had the whole family (11), parking was accessible in the gated lot (had 3 vehicles) and the grill area, pool, patio, and great table in the dining room were all fantastic for full family fun. Huge front porch made morning coffee a family event and the back patio deck with grill and pool area did the same the rest of the time when we weren't out experiencing Galveston. All positives about this trip.

The home is very nice. Nicely decorated. Can walk to seawall. A couple of neighborhood eating establishments within walking distance away from the hustle and bustle. Richard D, the property manager, is great. Everyone loved the pool from adults, to teenagers to grade school age. Would definitely recommend this place.

When we arrived on a Monday, the keypad wouldn’t work to get into the house. Had to call and text several times to get ahold of someone. He said he wasn’t expecting us until Tuesday. If you’re a property manager, you should know when people have reservations. All the trash cans outside were completely full and the pool was full of sand and hair. Wasn’t until Wednesday ( we leave Friday) after contacting the property manager again, that the pool was cleaned and was told where we could put our trash since all the other cans were full. One of the beds didn’t have a fitted sheet on it at all. The house itself was clean and within walking distance to the beach. Fully stocked with pretty much anything you need. All in all, our family had a great vacation.
8.0 / 10.0
The property was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our daughter. We had enough space for our family to come from out of town and we were able to relax and spend time together.
The beds were comfy, the a/c worked well. the kitchen was spacious and the large oversized dinning table fit us all. We enjoyed the outdoor patios and even the pool.
We had a couple of hiccups' when we arrived but Richard the House manager was responsive and took care what we needed.
We were very thankful for the time together.

We really enjoyed the house and the location -- just a quick walk or trolley ride to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The kiddos loved the heated pool and large dining room table where we were able to all eat together and play games as a whole group. We also enjoy the wrap around porch and grilling area.

This was the perfect home for our Galveston ladies' weekend. It is even better than the pictures. We couldn't have been happier with the cleanliness, layout, spaciousness, decor, communication, and location of the home. It was close to everything. The pool and patio are gorgeous and we enjoyed them all weekend. Coffee and conversation on the lovely front porch were an added bonus. I highly recommend this home!

We were a group of staying in Galveston for a long weekend. The house was beautiful, inside and out and was more than spacious enough for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and the dining room accommodated all of us. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and was even able to utilize the warm pool on a chilly night. Very pleased with this home and the prompt responses from the owner. We hope to be able to stay here again on our next visit.

The gouse was super easy to find and located in just the perfect spot. A short drive to the strand, and a small walk to the Beach. Upon arriving we were super impressed with how the house was decorated and all the room avaliable for people to sit comfortably. There is a huge dining room table perfect for a shared meal with the family or an evenjng of board or card games. Outside there is a beautiful pool (heated for winter) along with plenty of seating from tables to eat at or a chair to lounge in. There is a beautiful grilling area with several bar stools to sit at and watch the cook in the family.
Our most favorite spot was coffee on the front porch every morning gathered with the family.
All the bedrooms have very comfortable beds and there were plenty of blankets and pillows!
I have 0 complaints about this property. I suggest everyone looking at this house to rent, you must.
Thanks again fpr letting us stay in your home!!!

We will definitely rent this beautiful home again!!

We spent Thanksgiving here and it couldn’t have been better! The house is gorgeous, you can tell there was a lot of thought and detail put into the remodel and upkeep of the home. The property manager responded to my emails within minutes. There were 13 of us (four branches of a family) and we all fit perfectly in our bedrooms. My branch is five people so the queen bunk beds with a queen trundle was amazing. The house was fully stocked for our meal prep and cooking. We were walking distance to Pleasure Pier and several restaurants. I would highly recommend this home!

This property is great! We had a lovely time. Very spacious! Great pool. Loved that we could park a huge truck and 2 SUVS behind the back gate, so they were safe at night. Did not have to park on the street. Love that simple things, like linens and paper products were all provided. Highly recommend this property for your family stay.

Great property! Very clean, house was well stocked with everything needed, more than most rentals I’ve stayed in. Very easy check in process, property owners very prompt with responses. It was also great having a pool to come back to after being at the beach all day with the kids. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone with kids/big family’s, it’s perfect!

The pool was a wonderful way to keep all the grandkids busy. They actually said they wanted to stay at the house versus going back to the beach one day. The house was clean and large enough for 3 families.
We will definitely be back!
