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.
