This was the cleanest, beautifully decorated and had everything and more than we needed for our stay. The property was perfect for everyone and plenty of space, the beds were incredible, towels for the beach and for the pool , the pool was perfect for the grandkids and just relaxing and naps in the chair outside. The night we arrived all agreed was where we wanted to stay again next year. It was perfect location for everything we all wanted to do. Definitely a Gem!!

Our stay at My Blue Heaven in Galveston was absolutely fantastic. The house, built in 1910, is full of historic charm and beautifully updated with modern amenities. The location is perfect, just a few homes down from the Bishopโs Palace and within walking distance to the beach and downtown.
The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the private heated pool and the spacious, well-maintained backyard. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the smart TVs and Sonos sound system added a great touch.
The hosts were incredibly responsive and welcoming, ensuring we had a great experience. We loved our stay so much that weโre considering making it an annual family tradition.
Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to explore Galveston in style and comfort.

We booked the house for a quick girls getaway and we could not have found a better place! This historic home is immaculately decorated not just for looks, but for comfort. There is nothing missing from the kitchen, baths and pool, everything is available to make your stay comfy. We would book again!

We were at the house for 3 weeks in March. There's plenty of common areas room, nice size bedrooms, ery comfortable beds, a nice, large dining area, and a great location.
The home is probably the best-stocked VRBO we've stayed at. Plenty of towels and sheets as well as a very well stocked kitchen--knives, pans, dishes, small appliances, etc. Also, these were all of a high quality, which isn't always the case.
We really appreciated that the pool was heated at no additional cost. We had a couple small issues with this during the three weeks--and the owner was VERY responsive. It never became a problem. Be aware, the pool is on the small side, but was fine for our families with small kids.
Also, the home is on a busy street with the noise that would accompany that. The owners provided noise machines in the bedrooms which was a great idea and appreciated. Very quickly got used to the situation.

Only good things to say, the house is lovely and the hosts thought of every detail. Wonderful house and location.

This 100 year old historic Galveston home is beautifully restored with all the modern amenities you can want. The list of amenities in the description is extensive and accurate. Also, owner generously supplies consumables like dishwasher detergent and toilet paper as well as beach and pool towels. Recharging stations throughout the house.
Pool area, deck and fences in yard was so welcoming and secure.
House is located on Broadway, a very busy street, but the owners even thought of that by providing noise machines and fans in the bedrooms to dampen the street noise.
Lastly, the bikes are a nice touch to allow for quick exploration of the area.
5.0
Our overall stay was amazing. The house was perfect for our girls getaway and allowed enough space for us. Everything from the checkin process to checkout processes was smooth.
We did encounter one issue with the pool. It was not heating. This was the main reason we booked this house but I will say communication with the property manager was on point. They answered every question, attempted troubleshooting on their own and when that did not work, they called out an after hours pool company to try and fix the problem. They were not able to fix the issue but the communication with the property manager and the willingness to do whatever they could, made this all ok!
We will definitely be back! You wont regret your stay here

The Blue Haven is an excellent house that is located in the center of Galveston. The modern comforts with the luxurious historical and antic touches made the house an excellent choice. The house was very clean and well stocked with all the kitchen essentials for cooking. TV's in most rooms was a big plus. A house we will consider using again if in the area.

Wow! This place exceeded our expectations. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do (beach, pleasure pier, Moody Gardens, and Bryan Museum). We had teens and young adult children with us. The house was perfect. I was amazed at how well-equipped the house was. Especially the kitchen. It had everything we needed, which was perfect since our large family loves to cook and eat. The games and many TVs were incredible too. The pool and outdoor area were fantastic for relaxing evenings. We will definitely be back.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Our host was very accommodating, communicative, and informative. The home is immaculate. The location is convenient to everything โ the beach, strand, pleasure pier, restaurants, you name it. We loved reading about the history of this home built back in 1912 and marveled at the fact that even after the renovations needed to bring it up to 21st-century standards, the original glory of this magnificent home is still evident throughout. The owners definitely left no detail untouched, anywhere. It would be difficult to say which part of the home we liked best, but if we had to, it would probably be a tossup between the beautiful master suite and the wonderful relaxing pool area. If you enjoy cooking, this kitchen is for you. It is supplied with everything you could possibly need to prepare a feast. The two large living areas are comfortable and like the rest of the home, tastefully decorated. We couldnโt find one thing we didnโt love about My Blue Heaven and we will definitely be back.

This property is very well maintained. Everything was clean and in working order in the home. Beach towels, chairs and coolers are provided, as well as 2 bikes (both had flat tires). Parking is very tight, as only one vehicle is allowed to be parked in the back parking area. The dental office across 18th St. takes all the on street parking so more than one vehicle is a problem according to the rules.
We enjoyed the pool, but being the end of August, the heat made it more like a hot tub. The location is fantastic! It is centrally located on Broadway and easy to access the Strand or the beach. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

The historic house was beautiful, clean, and was nicely stocked for our stay. Car was a wonderful hostess, responding to our questions, needs, recommendations in a timely manner. The location was perfect too. Note: Being a historic house means being mindful of just that and enjoy!

We had such an amazing time staying in Galveston. Car was very accommodating and the home was just perfect. The location was perfect for access to the beach, Seawall, and Strand. The pool was so amazing for the kiddos to enjoy. We will definitely stay again.

I've been renting through VRBO for the past 15 years and I can say this is the most beautiful rental I've ever experienced. A lovely Craftsman-style home beautifully decorated and furnished. A kitchen with everything you need. Very comfortable beds and great TV and music systems. Things for a trip to the beach, from beach towels to beach bags. Then a beautiful backyard patio and pool area with plenty of seating for relaxing in the evening. I highly recommend My Blue Heaven because it is a little bit of heaven.

We loved this house! Itโs beautiful. The decor is perfect. The kitchen is stocked with all of the things that I have in my own kitchen, including spices! It is clean. The beds are very comfortable. The living room is perfect for a large family-the dining room is as well! The outside is perfect! The pool is gorgeous. We spent a lot of time in and around it! We rented a couple of golf carts for the week and rode to the beach every day- which is just a couple of blocks away. They had a beach umbrella, coolers, and beach bags to use! It really was perfect for our family of 9. I had a question for the owner and had a response within minutes. We have ZERO complaints!

This house has all of the amenities you could need for a wonderful vacation. My four year old loves the pool and never wanted to get out. The beds were comfortable, and the house was very clean. The location is just minutes away from the beach and any other place you need to get to on the Island. Weโre already planning our next stay. Book this house, you wonโt regret it!

The nostalgic Galveston feeling at home while being able to walk/drive to attractions near by. One direction takes you to the beach, pleasure pier FUN, and lots of options for food. The other direction takes you to many options for tours, the Strand shopping, bar hopping, axe throwing, escape room FUN etc.
If you want to save money and cook at the house, no problem! Everything is there! There is a Kroger or Walmart. The host is fully equipped with all the essentials. Then just hang out at the pool, which was just AMAZING!
I just cannot imagine anyone not being happy with this house option. We jammed our tunes throughout the house! So FUN!

This is a wonderful option in Galveston and would definitely book this place again!
We rode the two provided bikes to the beach every morning. It's about a 5-10 minute ride/walk and there is a bit of an incline but coming back is a breeze.
The pool is great! Perfect size for 5 adult ladies to relax.
The house is beautiful! Very clean, well-spaced, comfortable beds, cozy living room couch and smart tv's in each space.
The only thing I wish I had prepared for was how busy Broadway Avenue is on the weekends. This was only an issue for me as the nighttime noise kept me awake. Nothing earplugs wouldn't resolve and no one else in my party had a problem with it. The hosts even provide a noise machine that really helps (I purchased one for myself after trying theirs out). This is not a negative for the house at all, just something a light sleeper needs to prepare for. I still give this house a 5 star review!

I booked the stay for lone star rally. The house was better than expected. It has a nice pool that was kept heated so we could get in and relax after the ride in. Where the house is located was perfect for the rally. Right in between the strand and seawall. Easy to get back and forth to each location. The owner always responded right away before, during and after the stay. I would definitely stay here again

This property was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The area was very nice and centrally located with a quick walk to the Children's Museum or a 10 minute walk to the beach. There was truely something for everyone in our group! All expectations were nicely laid out in a written folder on the island in the kitchen and was easily readable.

Gorgeous Galveston Getaway
The property is beautiful. We had 9 people including 5 children in our group but the house could easily accommodate more. The pool is on the smaller side but itโs beautiful and perfect for the morning and afternoon swim! No detail is overlooked. The host is polite and easy to communicate with. Location is fantastic for dining, sightseeing and beach going!
