The stay was great. A little bit of rain each day but the property was minutes from a privately owned beach which we used with the dog. The property has a cute setup and was perfect for what we needed. I enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the covered patio where I could read in the mornings as the lite rain fell. We would definitely stay here again.

This home was in an amazing location and so easy to walk or bike anywhere! Each bed was incredibly comfy and the backyard set up was great!! The hose for the dog baths was on when we arrived and we could never figure out how to turn it all the way off. Bikes were so useful! We do wish they weren’t all flat though and 2 bikes brakes didn’t work we found out! Overall, this house was perfect and I’d definitely continue to come back!!!

House was very clean. Great location. Easy walk to the beach. About two blocks. We had four adults and a baby and it was a great fit for us. Only has one full bathroom but we had no issue at all. There is a half bath downstairs. Very quiet. Had the power go out but the agent in charge called me right back when I called her at 6:52 am. It was only off about 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this house

Check in process was seamless. The house was cute, well laid out and well furnished. The house is fairly worn since the initial pictures were taken. There are stains on the couch, a rip in the couch cushion, one of the arms of the patio furniture was all torn up, and the grass was fairly long. My husband’s first attempt to hang a towel on the rod in the bathroom resulted in it falling to the floor. There were many paint cans stacked on a shelf in the shed that made it difficult to get out bikes without knocking them over. However, the house itself served our purpose - to be close to the beach. It’s a very short walk, even with toddlers. The outside shower was very handy to get the sand off before going inside. We weren’t able to utilized the outdoor space as you were consumed by mosquitoes as soon as you stepped outside. The beds were super comfortable for everyone and my kids adored the bunks in the hall. I think with some deep cleaning, repairs, and swapping out some worn household items, this place could easily be a 5 again. But you can’t beat the location. Overall, we would stay again next summer.

We had a fantastic stay at this house in Galveston. The property is just a few blocks from the beach and also close walking to local eateries. We also walked downtown (1mile). The property is amazing. Very clean and modern. The back yard is a great space to eat and relax in the evenings. Would highly recommend and hope to stay here again soon

My son competed in his first Ironman this past weekend and having this house helped all of our stress levels! The location made it easy to navigate the island, it was close enough to the beach that we could take a nice walk, and the beds were so comfortable! The backyard was perfect for our dog and we enjoyed using the firepit to relax before the big day!

The home is located on the east end of the island. It is a walkable, friendly neighborhood, a few minutes walk to the beach, and some good restaurants are within walking distance. ShyKatz was great for breakfasts and salads. Everything we needed, towels and cooking utensils, was provided and easy to find. Having an outdoor shower and a washer/dryer was very helpful. It was great having a dog wash area! I will be buying one of the dog elevated baths. The back porch is great!!! Next time, we will be using the bikes. It may be on the site, and I didn't see it; the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep. They do provide baby gates, and the railing was sturdy. I loved using the gas stove. The neighborhood was quiet when we stayed in late February and early March. I definitely would stay again.

The house was perfect for us! We stayed 3 nights, my husband, I and small dog. The house had everything you would need! All you need to bring is your clothes and toothbrush. The owner is truly into detail and it shows. The beds were very comfortable, linens nice and fluffy, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. The yard was a highlight for my dog. Totally fenced in with no place for him to get out, nice patio and furniture, outdoor kitchen, heaters on the patio, nice landscaping and grass. There was an outdoor shower and even a dog bath! The shed was full of bikes, trikes and wagons. Being seniors, we did not use all of that, but we sure enjoyed everything else. I would definitely rent this house again. Very well kept house and so cute inside!
