Great Property

We were in town for a wedding and this was a great location. It is on a main road, but we never had issues getting out of the house. Close to a ton of restaurants.

Sisters Cruise

We needed a place to sleep the night before our cruise set sail. The two bathrooms were a great bonus! The one to the back of the place was huge and since we were all family, more than one could be drying hair or putting on makeup at a time. Communicating with Ruth was very easy and she was timely. Would definately recommend!

AC went out

Excellent accommodations! Very quick response to questions. Check in process very easy. However, air conditioning went out our first night in the July heat. I did wait until 7 o’clock the next morning to notify the owner. They were very quick to respond and did have air conditioning back on within approximately six hours of notification. Rental 2 nights….so 42 hours and was without AC for approximately half of that. Granted, once owner was notified, it was only about six hours. However, I do feel some sort of reimbursement should have been provided. Multiple attempts made, and owner declined.

Great Stay

Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!

Very Clean!

Super clean home with friendly, fast communication with the host. Location is close to groceries, restaurants, etc, but located on a pretty busy road with not much to view from the balconies. Maybe this is a common thing for Galveston cottages, but the big drawback for us was that all the windows were shuttered at least halfway or all the way from the outside. Luckily we weren’t in the house much during the day. The house is clean and painted brightly, but if you want to let light in, this wouldn’t be the house for you. Otherwise, 5 stars!

Neat house! Very clean!

Overall, the property was great! Very cute, updated and clean! Our only issue was finding it in the dark. Our map was indicating the property was in the prior block and it was very tough to see any addresses in dark. Had to call property manager, but she was very helpful! Overall, five stars! She also allowed us a late checkout before we left on cruise!
