The property was just as explained in the description. There were stickers in the living room carpet and my granddaughter got one stuck in her foot. We looked the carpet over and found a few more. We hadn’t been anywhere to bring them in - so must have been there already.When we arrived I had trouble unlocking the door (operator error). I messaged Dante. By time he responded we were already inside. We were only there one night for a pre-cruise stay but overall the property met our needs.

Area

Be sure to check the area before booking, family with two grandkids age 5 and I felt very uncomfortable being in the area, never got out of the truck, could not even turn into the very small drive and was on a single lane side street with only one way in and out.

Property was easy to find. It was very clean and laid out well. We enjoyed the coffee! We were disappointed that we couldn’t find the TV remote. But all in all, it’s a great place. Very close to the port terminal.

What a wonderful stay. From traveling to arrive and during our stay, Dante was easy to communicate and on top of questions. We were able to drop our luggage off a little early and went out to explore. On our return the property was clean and cool. Close to the Strand and cruise port but easy enough to drive to the beach and Walmart as well. We would definitely be willing to stay again if we are back in Galveston. Thank you Dante for a great pre-cruise rental.

Great place to stay prior to your cruise!

The house was very close to the terminals, restaurants and the beach! It was clean and the pictures looks just like it does in person. They had items available that I didn't realize I would need (coffee & creamer) which was great! Dante recommended several restaurants and we chose one. It was just several blocks away and right on the beach. The food was great and fast.

run down neighborhood, disappointing supplies

Neighborhood was sketchy. House was partially remodeled and felt barren. Not much in the way of decorating. Very little kitchen supplies. We hade to use an old mixing bowl to make a salad. Condiments were sparse and what there was, were very old. Backyard and front yard were both overtaken with weeds. Would not stay here again.

Not alot to cook with it that is what you are looking for bit it met all our needs and the manager was very helpful when my niece thought she had left something there. We just stayed overnight for a cruise the next morning and the location was perfect for that
