Took my family to Galveston to celebrate Christmas by the coast. The house was perfect! It was clean, beds were comfortable, neighborhood was nice; location was close to everything we wanted to do. If the weather had cooperated, we would've walked to the local pub - such a cool place.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars (and this is my first time not to; I love VRBO rentals) is because we didn't get check in info until after 4pm; we got to town at 3:30 and patiently waited to gain access to the house. We cooked every morning, the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots, pans, baking sheets but no pot holders, trivets and only 2 kitchen towels. Problem was easily solved at Dollar Tree. Considering these are the only things that could've been better, it's not a big issue after the fact. The owner responded to all my messages immediately, so communication was good.
I definitely would recommend this house to anyone visiting Galveston and looking for a centrally located rental.
