Great house, great location!
We really enjoyed this property. It was very comfortable and spacious for 4 adults and a baby. It was ideally situated to walk to the cafe's and shops. The location was nice and quiet, despite being so close to everything! If we find ourselves back in Galveston, we would book this property again :)

First time to galveston
The process to book was easy but there a few things I would “change/upgrade” better towels, full length mirror, greater focus on cleanliness in bathrooms and luggage racks in each room. Closet in master was locked making it inconvenient to share closet with next bedroom.

Pleasant and Convenient
Nice long weekend on the island with Mardi Gras. Very convenient to the Strand. Well cared for property for a full Family. The alley parking spots were good, but only able to access the home via code from the front door. The parking passes for parking on the street were dated 2022, so we didn't use them. A little difficult to get on the balcony as the door sticks real bad, otherwise enjoyed our stay.

Walking distance to the strand
We were surprised how close we were to everything on the strand. We walked each day, shopping and exploring the attractions. It was so nice to be right there but also have a comfy retreat to go home to.
