We were a group of 9 women who booked this house for a girls weekend getaway. The house was perfect for our group! Everyone had their own bed. Plenty of privacy when desired but also plenty of space for us to all gather when desired. The house has 2 living rooms, 1 larger than the other & they were perfect for our group.

This house is all that you want and more! We had a total of 12 adults and we all fit comfortably. The outside area is perfect for hanging out and grilling. The neighborhood was very quiet. Home is not far from the beach or strand. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit!

This home was perfect for our small family reunion of 11 adults, one toddler, and one youth. It was centrally located for everything that we wanted to do for the week we were in Galveston. We went to several of the local attractions with no problems. We visited the bakery across the street, which is awesome! Met several of the neighbors who are very friendly. We even grilled outside and hung out around the patio table most evenings to reminisce about the old days! We would recommend to everyone to stay here. The only downside was we had to leave!

The home was perfect. It was big enough for 10 adults and 6 kids no problem. Kitchen worked out great. Back patio is a dream. Great location. Quick walk to the beach. Cute little restaurant on the corner. 5 min to the Strand. The hosts are awesome. We highly recommend Casa Galves.

This house was perfect for our group 11 adults. The. weather wasn't great so we didn't get to the beach but the backyard with the fire pit was perfect!

This home is located perfectly between the Beach and The Strand. It met my expectation in every way, the only minor issue is that the listing mentioned a hot tub, but it did not have one. The pictures are accurate and the backyard/firepit and family room make the perfect "hang out" for our large family.

Pictures on the listing do NOT do justice to this home! Each room was beautiful, amazing, and comfortable. Back patio was perfect to relax with a fire log. Excellent taste in putting this together. Communication with the contact was quickly returned and clearly communicated. As if it needed a bonus, there's a bakery across the street for morning! Thank you for letting us experience this!

We love ❤️ Galveston. The first weekend in December is Dickens on the Strand which is fun for all ages. There are excellent places to eat 👌 We stopped downtown Houston to visit The Aquarium and enjoy the rides, but Pleasure Pier and Kemah are also great 👍 Our grandkids loved The Polar Express Train, Moody Gardens, and of course the beach ⛱️ Casa Galvez is in a great location. We picked up fajitas from Salsa’s for dinner and breakfast from Shykatz. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and fellowship as well as plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.
