This property canceled us 2 hours before check in. I was already on the island. Host never answered back. Had to book another house for our stay.

The place was very nice and the location was perfect. It was close to everything we needed from the beach to the grocery store. Only complaint is there are no blinds or full curtains on most of the windows so it’s impossible to sleep in and the house doesn’t cool during the day while it’s hot out. Also, it rained quite a bit while we were there causing us to stay inside on some days. Only having a tv in the living room and downstairs bedroom was unfortunate.

We stayed here for the weekend during the 2023 Lonestar Rally. This house was great!! Perfect location...minutes from the Strand. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Had a little difficulty with the front door key pad lock. The master bedroom with thehking size bed was soooo nice. The bed was very comfortable. The entire place was quaint. We will definitely consider this place again in the future.

This was a fun trip. The property manager was able to get a hold of fairly easily. I noticed droppings I thought were mice and was able to speak with the someone who was going to send out housekeeping the next day. When speaking with her she mentioned it was probably roaches. The next morning while having breakfast a 3 inch roach ran across the kitchen the exterminator did come out but this put a bit of a damper on the trip.

Our family traveled to Galveston to support my granddaughter as she and her dance troupe competed in the National Showstopper competition at Moody Gardens. We needed space for all her gear and our one year old grandson is learning to walk, which he really perfected at your location! The minor issue we had was remedied immediately and to our satisfaction. We highly recommend other families give it try!!

We had a great stay! The space was perfect for us and our 4 teenagers. Walkable to the Strand, nearby restaurants, UTMB, and there’s an Arlan’s market close by as well.

The house was OK But we weren't able to do the things that we planned with the kids because the Internet didn't work. The house had the most beautiful flowers, But the landscaping was terrible. There was high weeds growing all around the house.
