Tina, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We were so happy to host you and yours, and welcome you all back anytime! You are right -- most people do not realize how Tortuga Inn is located in the middle of everything popular in Galveston. And that separate playroom/movie room is perfect for letting the group spread out across two living spaces! Please come back anytime!! Thank you for being such a great guest!

Great Galveston Gem

My husband and I came to Galveston to visit family in the area get some beach time in. We were very pleasantly surprised by the condition and cleanliness of Tortuga Inn. The house and pool was exactly as advertised, was extremely clean and has the best location! Property management was very helpful and checked in on us to ensure everything was going well. We are definitely going to be staying here again on our next trip to Galveston!

Perfect House

We stayed at Tortuga Inn for 3 nights (4/10 - 4/13). It was myself and my husband, our son and daughter-in-law, and 4 year old grandson. I can't say enough great things about the house and our host! The check-in/out process was seemless and Pam was very accommodating with early check-in. The house was immaculate, and adorably decorated, the beds were super comfy, and only 3 blocks from the beach and restaurants. The outdoor pool was amazing, lots of floats and a wagon to pull. Really, this was one of the nicest houses we've stayed in. Thank you so much, Pam!!

Family Friendly and close to the beach

Very spacious and family friendly. Almost felt like two different properties! The downstairs family room (TV, Fridge and couches) and bathroom connected to the pool (heated!) and patio area was very nice. The upstairs with was also spread out with the bedrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room are very modern with updated appliances. A washer and dryer right next to the kitchen was very convenient. Just a few blocks away from the beach too! Would love to stay again if we're in the area.

Family vacation

We had a great time. Rooms were nice. Had everything we needed. Pool was a nice get away from being at the beach all the time. Things that you may consider working in: there were loose tiles near pool that need to be repaired, blinds in king size room were in closet and in the way (I placed them flat to prevent damage), baby gate was broken- we attempted to repair as we needed to use it, drawer in refrigerator was broken and would not slide, roaches in game room and pool area. Again, enjoyed stay. Game room was a plus - offered extra things to do.

Thank you so much for your five-star review! We appreciate it very much! We also appreciate your suggestions for improvement- I do want to mention that all our guests are encouraged to report anything during their stay so we can make it right! We want your stay to be perfect!! If we had known the baby gate was broken, we would have delivered a new one to you the same day. So please do not ever be hesitant to reach out to us!. A new refrigerator is being delivered tomorrow thanks to your report of a broken drawer -- we always act quickly to fix anything that bothers our guests. And thank you for reporting the roaches. We use Truly Nolen monthly for pest prevention, but sometimes the bugs get through, especially with the excessive heat. Please know that we are trying our best to keep the bugs out! We enjoyed hosting your family, and we look forward to hosting you again next year!
