Overall, ever thing was great. For some reason it took awhile to find the pots but that was just us. On the second level the lights in one of the bedrooms didn't work and the coffee table was flimsy and the bottom shelf fell off. Other than that it was a great location and the roof top deck was awsome. It might not be ideal for a person in a wheelchair or someone who cannot walk a lot of stairs.

The home was very spread out with a lot of stairs but also a lot of privacy. The king beds were really hard and needed new sheets but we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The home is only 3 blocks from the beach and we could park 3 cars in the huge garage. We would have also liked a more comfortable place to lounge together. The tv area couches were kind of stiff and hard. But we enjoyed our time together in this big home.

This was an exceptional property surrounded by mediocre homes n businesses. Once we walked through the door n up the stairs, everything was in pristine condition. The hosts were accommodating n responsive. Every room had its own bath which was a plus. The only downside is that the mattresses need to be updated for more comfort. I would select this property again even with the lack of comfortable beds. We had a great time.

This home is so beautiful to be so dirty. Fridge smelled of rotten fish, cockroaches and eggs scattered all over the home. Dead flies, dirt and debris everywhere. We had to leave and find a new place to stay. Lost an entire day of vacation trying to find a new house for 12 people to go to last minute. For a million dollar property to not have professional pest control and a poor housekeeper is beyond me. As soon as i mentioned the cockroaches, the host stopped responding. Still no refund 7 days after.

The house was spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay until the Hurricane hit and we lost electricity. We tried to complete our stay, but it just got to be too much after 80 hours with no power. The Host was nice enough to offer us another 4 day stay for free, which is extremely generous of them due to it not being anyone's fault. We will definitely consider staying at this home again.

The property was perfect for my family and the location was close to the beach. My family enjoyed the fact that each floor had it's own kitchen. Parking was plentiful with the garage and the first floor was really helpful for my older parents who couldn't go up stairs.

Property is the best! Our family had a great time and with little to no issues. None of which affected our fabulous time and great memories!

We had a wonderful time! The three kitchen layout was a nice bonus! Most appliances we upscale and modern.
The beds were very comfortable! Slept well every night! The short walk to the beach was so nice. Spent a lot of time there! Let me say that the Hostess was WONDERFUL! very responsive and helpful. Overall had a wonderful time!

We had 8 adults and 2 children and never felt crowded. We went for my granddaughter's dance competition the week of July 4th. Couldn’t have picked a better location. We walked to the beach. Watched fireworks from the balcony, easy drive to Convention Center, grocery store and Moody Gardens.
Only drawback was no real living room for taking it easy after a busy day, but that wasn't our priority. Our priority was number of beds and baths and location. We made do by pulling out seats from table.

This is a nice place, but a little maintenance is needed.

We stayed and the location is very much not great. Close enough to the beach but not good surroundings, didn’t feel completely safe.
Inside the house “meh”. The pictures make it look much better than it actually is. Cables throughout the house at windows cut and not plugged or covered. Bathroom on the second floor had keys but one was uncovered so it wasn’t functional. The wall where the rain shower head came out wasn’t really done, so you can just see the hole where the plumbing comes out. Electricity on the second floor island didn’t work so we couldn’t use those plugs or dishwashers, the property manager warned me about that once we had arrived. The internet also didn’t work, I did let the property manager know but to get it fixed we would have had to be there to attend the technician, and I wasn’t going to sit and wait for that and manage that. So, no shows for the toddlers made thing a bit harder.
The roof top patio was cool, however, ALL of the cushions for this were inside the house and a story down, so to use it I would have had to make multiple trips up and down to put the cushions on. The third story balcony had no furniture on it, it was all inside as well so we had to move all that outside.
Overall it was fine, but just fine. Way more expensive than it should have been…

It rained on us but our stay at this property made the vacation, everything was comfy and convenient, put family had an great time!

The description of this property was very accurate and it has lots of space if your traveling with friends and family! It rained and was cold during our visit, so having the extra space was helpful! There was private space for everyone! All the bathrooms are updated and clean! It's a great walk to the beach and there is a crosswalk to help get across the busy street to the beach.
The property manager was very responsive with questions and the house was ready on time with very easy access and check in.
Quality washer and driver available and the entire set up of this home is very efficient! This place is a must during the summer months so you can enjoy the outdoor balcony space!
The only recommendations I have for this house is more 2nd floor living room seating ( couch, chairs). We tended to gather there on raining days and hangout!
Great place! Well worth the stay!

We had a group of seven for Dickens on the Strand. The house is great for a large group of family or friends.

Very clean and modern with awesome outdoor spaces. Be ready for walking a lot of stairs.
4.7
My rating for this property as it is now is 3+ Stars.
Front door, garage door, entire house - an effective regular exterminator program for ants/spider/roaches is needed.
Main level - comfortable durable seating for family socializing is needed.
All bedrooms - plastic hangers in closets would be nice.
Add 3 TVs to the bedrooms would be nice.
The kitchens and bathrooms are really 5 Star.
The location is 5 Star.
The room sizes are 5 Star.
The host responses to issues is 5 Star.
The cleanliness of the house was 5 Star.

Galveston stay
Property was spacious, beautifully appointed and very close to beach. The only consideration I would point out to senior citizens and families with small children is that the townhouse is three levels with many stairs to navigate. The owner is very responsive, so if you have questions, please ask her. Thank you Mariana!

Quick Visit
My group visited prior to attending a convention in Houston. We arrived via Galveston Express which was excellent, prompt service, by the way. This VRBO was accessible early, with a code that worked, and was ready-to-enjoy when we arrived. Mariana was easy to work with, as she replied in a timely manner whenever we reached out.
We stayed 2 nights, and were quite comfortable with the furnishings of the unit. Having the options to wash laundry was also a plus for our group.
We were slightly disappointed by the indoor grill not looking ready-to-use.
We enjoyed being a few blocks from the beach! We also were able to walk to pick up bicycles which helped us navigate easily to Pleasure Pier, Kroger, and other restaurants during our stay.

Family Vacation
We enjoyed our stay, the host was very helpful. I had questions and needed assistance and she seemed like she didn’t mind helping me. Everything was like the pictures. The stairs are a lot if you have trouble with walking up and down, but we enjoyed the house. Thanks for everything.

We had a great time in Galveston. I loved having my family all together under one roof. We were in walking distance of the beach. Having so many bathrooms was a big plus with so many people.
