My family and i , planned a last minute trip for a weekend to galveston , thankfully we found this house and IT WAS PERFECT. This house had everything we needed and more. We got there a few hours early but the host was super helpful and they helped us find a solution. The host was super nice and responds winthin minutes if you have any questions, which is awesome. I definately recommend this house if you have a big family, it’s comfortable and fun.

A few families from our soccer team stayed for a beach tournament. There were plenty of beds and with 4 kitchens each family was able to have one. We walked to Fish Tales for dinner and the pier. Great location! The property manager was very helpful and quickly answered my questions. Definitely recommend

We recently stayed at the McGuire Dent House in Galveston. We had a group of 17 with kids as young as 2 and 4 years old. Plenty of room and bathrooms for our group. Within walking distance to the beach and restaurant's. Would recommend for large groups or family.

We had an excellent stay! The communication was awesome and checking in was a breeze. The home was walkable to the beach, to great restaurants, and super comfortable when we were inside. The kitchen had everything we needed and we felt super relaxed. A great stay!

We were a party of 10. Great location. Comfortable accommodation. It was so nice for each couple to have their own space and yet we were able to eat, hang out and play games together. Unfortunately, the suites are not stocked very well. Minimal dishes and no salt or pepper etc. we could get the lights on in the bottom suite (we arrived after dark). We called the property manager and they sent someone right way. Over all we had a great time in Galveston before our cruise and would recommend this location for a group.

Everyone enjoyed the house (12 adult women). Close to everything & didn't have to drive.

We were a large group of 20 people renting all the four units. The property was very clean and well decorated. The communication was excellent. Although the four kitchens were not equipped with enough utensils, it was nice to have 4 refrigerators for storage. The listing said sleeps 20 people but I carried 3 sleeping cots so we were able to manage. There was enough bedding and pillows, but one of the bed and 2 futons did not fit 2 adults. We wanted to be able to enjoy family time together but there was very less space to sit together and enjoy the meals. The gameroom was very useful but was very tight to move around. It was nice to have TV in every room. Overall experience was good. Perhaps a smaller head count will be better next time.

I asked for early check in even if I have to pay extra and they said no. When I went to check if the property was ready the lady who just finished cleaning told me they could of do early check in and I mention to her that I did asked but it was not available and she looked surprised.
They don’t have enough towels nor toilet paper.
The doors are really hard to open even unlocked.
Other than that it was a nice stay.

Great Location if you're looking for a place walking distance this is it! It had a really cute beach decor, really spacious indoor and outdoor, things we didn't like two TV's didn't have remotes, the sofa beds we're very uncomfortable, and there wasn't one commen room where we could all gather and eat my family is of 20 and we all like being together and only way was to be outside in the front porch or in the back yard. Each Pier has their own kitchen which is nice but we all ate sepreatly it can worked great for breakfast time but not lunch or dinner. Family really loved Galveston! & The location

Galveston Getaway
Wonderful property that is 4 apartments in one. Each has its own bathroom and kitchen, making this a great vacation for extended family and friend reunions. The manager is great with excellent communication and access throughout. There was an issue with someone leaving some old pizza and the box at the doorstep after the cleaning and they came over and cleaned it up right away. I would definitely rent again the next time we are in town.

Worked fo Us
Great spot for our short family gathering. Gave us the chance to be together without being on top of one another. Contact with property rep was great. The location is very convenient for getting around on foot to beach, Pleasure Pier, and some restaurants. Close to community center park. The kids loved that, and there are stores for staples a short drive away. Older home with decorative charm.

4 families for beach tournament
The neighborhood was sketchy. The tv did not work. Then they waited until 2 days after we left to send us a message saying there was smoke smell, which is a lie because none of us smoke. They charged us an extra cleaning fee and refused to respond to our inquiry. I would not recommend staying here. They are clearly out for extra money.

Great place for a large family
I loved that the house was separated into four separate "apartments" which gave each adult the privacy of their own bedroom/living space. Also, it was only a block off of the Seawall which made for easy walking to the beach, restaurants, Pleasure Pier, and it was also within walking distance to a playground for the little ones and a basketball court for the teens in our group.

Great spot for Mardi Gras!
The house fit our needs to visit Galveston and attend Mardi Gras 2022 festivities. The only issue was that the house temperature was super cold in all the rooms upon arrival because the heat was not adjusted to the cold front. So it took a while to heat up the place when we got there. There was no dishwasher which was an inconvenience. Other than that, highly recommend!

Perfect Family Home Away from Home
The multi-home property was perfect for our large gathering. Each family had privacy in their respective units which was equipped with its own bathroom, kitchen/ette, dining area. It was a delight to be able to just cross the street and be by the beach/sea wall, downtown and various restaurants. I would rent this place again ...and again.

Summer beach fun
It was short lived but a blast. This place was great. Only thing I could be sad about is the fact that there was no where big enough for all of us to gather together as a group in the house and outside just not really setup for hanging out. No fault of the place. The owner was fantastic. Very quick to respond when I had questions. Great location, Right next to everything. Walking no paying to park. Loved the sheets on the king bed downstairs. It was hard not to steal them. Haha. Cute decorations too. Had a great stay

First Blended Family Vacation
Great long weekend with Kids & Grandkids ! Beach across the street - easy access, also a recreational center next street over with splash pad & play ground for the little ones. Close walking access to everything !! House was roomy enough for our large group of 20. This was our first vacation with my husbands kids and the grandkids. What a way to end the summer. Would use this house again !

Family vacation.
The home worked well for our 4 family vacation. Beach and pleasure pier were close. Walking distance. There was a small gathering room but worked. May suggest a few things to make the stay more comfortable:
1. Squeaky bed upstairs and doors
2. Pizza pan and cutter
3. Dawn
4. More kitchen tea towels
Over all very comfortable and we would visit again.

Great location!
Perfect for a group. It was super comfortable and close to everything. We walked to the beach everyday. It was only a 2 minute walk to the beach. It's right behind one of our favorite restaurants, BLVD Seafood.

Just What We Needed
This house was perfect for my family. It has 4 apartments each with their own bathroom and kitchen. So, we were able to hang out and share meals as family by day and at night my adult kids each took an apartment with their families and my husband & I took and apartment. It was perfect.
It is across the street from the beach and right behind BLVD Seafood - one of our favorite restaurants.
We walked to Pleasure Pier (it only took 6 minutes to get there from the house).
Parking was in the back of the house but could only fit 4 smaller cars. Our host happily gave us a parking pass for the street.
We will surely be back!

What I loved most about this home was the set up. It has 4 separate apartments. We took this vacation with 3 different families. Each family had their own apartment which included a living room, 1 or 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 full kitchen. It was just perfect! The kids all camped together and played games. We were able to cook and eat together, hang out and then go back to our own apartments at the end of the evening to shower and sleep.The location is across the street from the beach. We even let the teens walk to the beach alone. Pleasure Pier is a 5 minute walk away. One of our favorite restaurants, Blvd Seafood is directly in the front of this house and The Spot is super close as well!We enjoyed everything!

We will be back!
We stayed at Paradise by the Pier this weekend and will be back very soon! The house is very cute and decorated beautifully. The beds were comfortable and it was kind of home away from home. There were extra blankets and pillows to accommodate our large group throughout the house, which was greatly appreciated. The kitchens are a fully stocked kitchen with stove,oven, and utensils. The Pleaser Pier can be seen from any of the front rooms in the house. The ocean is visible from the front porch and it was perfect to relax and watch the sun rise. The location is a 1 minute walk to the ocean. This location is perfect for the group of kids that we took with us. This is the perfect stay for large groups or family vacations! Can’t wait to come back!
