Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous

the Zen Den was a beautiful stay! So clean, smelled like a dream, & the bed is amazing! It’s gorgeously decorated and feels like you’re staying somewhere seen on an instagram post. The location is perfect for walking to the seawall. Valerie is so sweet and knowledgeable about the area, gave us the best recs around. The next time we come to Galveston we’ll def be staying here again.

Everything thing was as pictured.Bed was amazing.Only negative thing is ceiling height in bathroom very low for someone over 6 foot but definitely not a deal breaker, just gad to remember to duck going thru door and while using the mirror.Very convenient to venues we were visiting.

Great Memory

This was our first time at an Air B&B. The property manager was great and always responded to all of my questions, but was very forthcoming with important information. The home was very clean, and it was clear that she cared about our experience.

Perfect Getaway!

We had a wonderful time! Thank you Valerie for being an amazing host! We enjoyed having a nightcap on the enclosed patio and the short walk to the Seawall. The Historic Strand District is a very short drive away. Valerie has impeccable decorating taste (we came home with some ideas for our own house)! We will definitely stay at the Zen Den again!

Best stay ever

Everything was perfect, it was so comfortable and cuddly . You have everything you need at your fingertip, the location is PERFECT. it only took us not even 1 minute to walk to Seawall/beach. The shower was the best, I took more showers than i normally do because it felt amazing. The bed was so comfortable.

Galveston trip with my daughter

We stayed at Valeries place and it was beautiful, well appointed and decorated beautiful. The location could not be beat close to everything. The bed was super comfortable. Wi-Fi was perfect. Valerie was very helpful and responsive. The ceilings are quite low but it was totally fine for my daughter and I, could be a little challenging for my 6’ 4” boyfriend, but the location makes it all worth it.

The perfect place!

This is what my friend and I kept telling each other about this cozy one bedroom. It is a fully equipped rental, one block from the seawall. (How Perfect and accommodating it was!) Not to mention the bed was so soft it was like melting into butter. Valerie is a great host and we so enjoyed our stay. I wish I could’ve stayed longer! Maybe next time.

Adorable

This place was so cute! Everything was decorated and put together beautifully. The host was incredibly kind and super responsive. She didn’t skimp on the quality of bedding which makes such a difference. Just a note for tall folks..the ceiling is very low. Maybe just about 6.5’ and a bit lower in the bathroom. But you can’t beat the location and charm of this well designed place!!

SUPERB! Highly recommend! So cozy!

Our stay was superb in every way. The place was meticulously clean, well-stocked and so very cozy! Zen Den is def an accurate description. The closed in porch was a favorite spot to relax after a long day. And the bed!! A cloud, heavenly. The rental was in prime location to everything and the neighborhood was quiet. The property manager was accommodating to any needs we had and we actually became quite fond of her! A wonderful person. You will not be disappointed. We look forward to staying here again.

Galveston Gem

This was the cutest and cleanest rental we have booked and we always rent top of the line. Valerie kept her guests in mind with all the little touches and the place was spotless. It was so relaxing to feel comfortable and know that everything was super clean. The decor is super cute and they went above and beyond with everything including the decor, furniture, linens, bedding, appliances, and tile. We had the best sleep in a long time. The ceilings are short though, just so you are aware. I would say they are under 7'. I am 6'1" and had to duck a smidge to go into doorways and to shower. It was no worries though as the stay was so relaxing and super close to the seawall and to The Strand where a ton of cool shops and restaurants are.
