Cruise stay

We stayed the night before our cruise, easy check in, great communication with owner, got code 48 hours ahead of time. Cleanliness of House was good. Though, House needs quite a few updates. There is quite a few spots on the walls that need painting and had patchwork done in several different areas of the house, and a few spots with marks on the doors & walls, which was not very appealing. The AC did not get cold at all. Temp on thermostat is as cool as it got in the house. But other than that inside, was fine. Outside on the other hand needed quite a bit of work. There was a pile of wood or construction material in the back up against the fence by the back patio, which was a snake hazard, I was not even risking going back there, an extension cord running under the back stairs, who knows where that went or where it was plugged in, the entire yard was overgrown, weeds growing through all of the sidewalk and patio, trash stuffed in banisters up front outside, and bags of mulch laying in several places you can tell have been there for a good while. So yes yard needs a little TLC. And yes I take pictures of everything as soon as we arrive at any VRBO so we don’t get blamed for anything. I have more pictures than I can upload. But overall it was not bad stay and it is in a great location to get to the cruise ports.

Served the purpose

The unit is a bit dated and could use a bit of attention to detail. The property is overgrown and unkempt. It was clean. There were air purifiers in every room which helped. It might be brutal on a very hot day. More appropriate for a group of young people.

Charming house.

This was a clean and charming house for our group to stay overnight before our cruise. There was plenty of room and it is a very convenient location. I would stay here longer the next time we come to town in order to enjoy the outdoor space as well! Great communication from the host as well!

Not Pleasing

The house by itself is cute. The owner of the property was responsive when I reached out with questions. However, the home is not clean. The smoke detectors went off anytime we turned on the stove. Although there is a shower in one of the other restrooms, it was not working. Multiple items in the home did not work. I would recommend only if cleanliness, functionality, and comfortable beds are not important to a person.

We rent this vacation home for a family Labor Day gathering. It was an excellent choice, clean and plenty of spaces. All the amenities are ready in great conditions. The house is in proximity of all the shops, and only couple blocks from the Sewall beach. We will rent it again next time.

Nice way to start a vaca

Leaving for a cruise and needed a space for 7, children and adults. This was perfect and I will book it again whenever I'm in Galveston. Place was really clean and it has 3 bedroom and 2 full baths and a half baths. Neighborhood was also clean and quiet. I'd recommend this location for short and long stays.

We stayed only 1 night before a cruise, but the house exceeded out expectations. It was clean and supplied everything we needed. We were able to walk to the beach, but we had to drive to the area with the amusement park. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Quiet and Perfect

The house and neighborhood were perfect for our family of nine to stay before our cruise. The location was so easy to find and so close to everything. Great bedrooms with comfortable mattresses and three bathrooms! We couldn’t get either the washer or dryer to function properly during our one night stay didn’t. We left a nice note for the owner so they could check that problem out before next visitors.
