Amazing house in a great location

This was absolutely the best house to stay in our girls trip to celebrate my moms birthday!! It was walking distance to the original Mexican restaurant, and a short Uber trip to the strand. We did lots of earring and shopping and was able to come back for a quick rest to do it again!!! We will definitely use this house again.!

Galveston Girl’s Trip

We came here for our annual girl’s trip and was not disappointed. The house was very clean and adorably decorated. We were able to go to Uber to the strand for pub crawl and get one back at a very affordable rate due to the close proximity. We found the historic neighborhood enjoyable to drive through to look at the fascinating architecture. We all agreed that we will definitely return again and again.

This home is spectacular, this place has everything we needed and more from the space to the utensils. We arrived with no problems, owner of the home was great a prompted. The little house was very clean and cozy. It was my husband's birthday weekend and utilized everything from the inside out. We will definitely book here again!!!!

Darling house inside; so many cute accessories with a beach theme.

House is very comfortable, well equipped, with Keurig and toaster. Nice bathroom, pretty floors, nice bedding, safe neighborhood. Really enjoyed our stay. It was too short. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the beautiful side yard. Loved reading about the remodeling, especially the cute ship lap. I would certainly return!

The setup of the cottage was very beautiful. I loved it. I loved the backyard set up. The grocery store is no more than 8 minutes away. The beach is right up the street. There was a minor bug problem but that’s expected since there’s water nearby. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and if I come back to Galveston, I’ll probably book again.

Awesome, but the bed….

I probably didn’t read the fine print to find out that the bed in the master is just a full, not a queen. The queen is the fold out couch. Not only was it too small, it also has a distinct “dip” in the middle. Otherwise, we loved the place and would book again.

Cute Beachy Cottage

This is a cute two bedroom cottage. It has been fully renovated and decorated accordingly. In a good area and still close to everything! There’s only one bathroom but it is huge! Only one minor issue with towels and the tub and the property manager took care of it immediately! Definitely 5 stars and I highly recommend to any family that doesn’t want to be squished in a hotel room!

Fantastic location and lovely property

Owner was amazing with communication and easy to follow instructions. The property was in excellent condition and perfect decor for the island. The location was even better than expected. It was in a beautiful historic neighborhood with several excellent eateries within 2-3 blocks. My family was comfortable and relaxed for the duration of the stay. We would rent this property again.

No response from owner

Overall experience was good, the house is very pleasant. I had not received check in instructions and we were already well in to the arrival day. I sent several messages to the owner and through VRBO, and finally recieved instructions later in the day. I undertsand we could not check in until a certain time, but in trying to plan our day, and having reached out to the property owner, a response would have been appreciated.
