We stayed here while dropping our oldest off at Texas A&M, and the coziness of this home truly helped soften the bittersweet emotions of the trip. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a warm hug—inviting, comfortable, and just what we needed during such a big life transition.The host’s communication was outstanding—so kind, clear, and responsive—which made everything stress-free from booking to check-out.The location was also perfect. We loved being close to the beach and Galveston’s best restaurants and attractions, yet the house itself was such a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of each day.If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, with amazing communication and a wonderful location, this is it. We’re so grateful we found this little gem during such a meaningful time in our lives.

The only thing to really complain about and consider is the water in the upstairs bathroom bathtub has no water pressure it was really hard to give my toddler a bath and if you have older people with you the stairs might be rough on them I’m 35 and by our 4th day I was so sore but this house had absolutely everything you need it was clean comfortable and the outside was so beautiful to just sit and relax the bed in the downstairs bedroom was extremely comfortable I wish I could find a bed like that for our home !! I would 120% recommend and stay again!!

Weekend family gathering

Galveston is a geographically east meet point to meet with family. We scheduled a weekend trip and thoroughly enjoyed the home. Very clean, comfortable, great gathering areas inside and out. We like the mid-town location which is quiet and away from the busyness but close to everything on both the sea wall and strand sides of the island. We don’t have to fight for parking. We didn’t have any problems but the host was still reaching out to us to ensure our stay was seamless. We would highly recommend this location and would love to come back again.

Flawless experience

This was a rental experience that was flawless. This house deserves the top rating for every category. Our stay was with our 10yr old grandson who really got a kick out of having the golf cart to tool around town in. Comfy couches, quality mattresses, exceptionally supplied kitchen with a roomy table for meals or playing games, and spacious bathroom upstairs. This house is as pictured. Beware the stairs are steep but they had no baring on our stay other than to build up our calves! Tara is a gem. So helpful. Thank you for your help. Would rent again.

Great space for family visit

My parents and my children and I stayed over Thanksgiving. There were spaces for adults to visit and the kids played downstairs, which was great. My parents commented that the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay again. :)

About the host

Hosted by Tara Hannan

Host profile image
I moved from Canada to Texas in 2015 and love it here! I had rental properties in Canada and decided to venture into the short term rental market. There is no turning back! I absolutely love being a host!

Why they chose this property

This house, built in 1945, caught my immediate interest. With it's expansive lot and yard, with the gorgeous gazebo and large south facing deck, with the large bedrooms, beautiful fireplace and extra large bathroom - I thought it would make the perfect island getaway for groups of friends or family!
