Everything mostly went smoothly. I think storm-caused power outages may have affected the electronic lock on the front door, but the host was always reachable to address any issues. I don’t know if this could have been any simpler.

We are so sorry to see that you did not feel our home was a 5 star stay because of the size! There were no other problems relayed to us by your group. Our home is approximately 1100 square feet and easily accommodates the 6 person overnight limit. We recently hosted a 15 person afternoon only bridal shower in the home and there was plenty of room for the guests. As hosts we went above and beyond to work with you regarding the missed payments and rebooking of our property. We also showed grace with house rules that were not followed which included movement of the couches and a spill in the living room which your group left unattended and therefore required extra attention by my cleaning staff. Please always communicate with a host if you are unhappy since most of us are small business owners and not large corporations who rely on fair and honest ratings on our properties for continued operation.

Best short getaway

This property was beyond what pictures and description say. We loved our stay at this location. The kitchen had everything we needed and the property was well thought out what you may need when staying here. Whenever we return to Galveston, this will be where we stay. Great communication, cleanliness, location, and great for families. A very memorable experience and will definitely return.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Our thermostat is adjustable so I’m not sure why you were unable to adjust. I could have looked into it or adjusted it remotely but you did not contact us about the issue. We value our five star rating and would have resolved if contacted.

Great place

My family of 4 (parents and 2 boys; 7 and 8) really enjoyed our stay here. The house is clean and inviting. We were so grateful for the beach supplies (chairs, boogie boards, etc) so we didn't have to buy or pack those. The bed were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our only negative was the surrounding neighborhood isn't the greatest. However, it is centrally located on the island, so it was easy to get everywhere quickly.

You Won't Be Disappointed

This is a a great property. Easy to get to. close to everything. Everything needed for a great vacation. We only stayed two days as we were attending Mardi Gras but could see where longer would be easy. Updated and clean. I particularly liked the parking in the back. It is in the back yard and you have open the gates from the inside but it keeps your car off the street. Would stay here again in a heart beat, Thank you Kim and Shea for an enjoyable stay!
