Weekend in Galveston

Great location just a few blocks from the seawall. Condition of the house was great and the backyard was great with a wood fire pit. It was very close to the historic house district and the Strand. There are a few great breweries in Galveston that you have to check out we spent time in the backyard around the fire pit and you could hear the Golf. There is a great little corner store probably a half a block away. The lady works there was super nice and you can get all your basics there if you forget anything. It was a great base location.

Perfect location and plenty of room!

We’re a family of 6 plus dogs that usually has a hard time finding something everyone likes. We had plenty of room and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. The beds were comfy and loved having a tv in all the rooms. The shower in the downstairs room is AMAZING!!

Cozy house, great location

The house is nice with an updated kitchen and downstairs bathroom. It was comfortable for our family of 6 and we loved that it was pet friendly. Good front porch and backyard area. I’m not sure it would be comfortable for 11 people - it’s pretty compact and the bathroom upstairs is small. But, overall it was light and airy and clean. Fantastic location - quick walk to the beach and not far from Pleasure Pier. Conveniently located to lots of bars, restaurants and activities. The host was very attentive and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!

Family Mardi Gras Weekend!

We had a great weekend enjoying Mardi Gras and staying at this property. Perfect location for accessing the beach, restaurants and The Strand. We had six adults and three kids, the house was the perfect size and set up, everyone had a bed and a room. House was clean and well-kept and the property manager was very responsive. Thanks for having us!

Great location and amenities! Definitely recommend.

So many positives about this place, where to begin? The house is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, and many of the items you want for the beach are provided (e.g., wagon, chairs, boogey boards, inflatables, sand toys). We didn't go to Pleasure Pier, but it's definitely walkable. It is a short drive to The Strand/Pier 21/the ferry and a little longer to Moody Gardens. It is very conveniently located, and the off-street parking, to include a single car garage, is definitely a bonus. The actual accommodations leave nothing to be desired (e.g., comfortable beds, smart tvs in every bedroom, full-size washer/dryer, on-demand water heater, etc.). It has an outdoor seating area and grill, neither of which we used, but the fact that they were available deserves recognition. Also, the yard is fenced which was very convenient since we brought our pup. Last, Jason was very responsive whenever I asked a question before and during our reservation which I appreciated very much. I've had owners who said they were concerned about my experience, but when I asked a question, crickets. Bottom line, would stay again and will definitely check if this is available next trip to Galveston.
