Little big things
When we walked up my wife said oh no this place is not clean. The porch & the front of the house could have used a power washing. Then we were disappointed that the grass in the backyard was about a foot tall. We would have liked to use the fire pit in the back yard but it was a jungle. The deck in tge back has rotten boards not to a point of falling thru but screws are sticking up so barefoot on deck is illadvised. The grill was to dirty to use and would not get hot. Looks like the burners are clogged. It is a beautiful little house and location was good and we all enjoyed our stay but it would have been better had these details been addressed

Exactly as it seems!
The host was super easy to work with and the listing was exactly as listed. One thing that sets this house apart is the on site parking. Big plus!

Perfectly Pink
We came to Galveston for just a fun weekend getaway. The hosts were super nice and friendly and they stayed in constant communication if we needed anything at all. (Which we didn’t other than food recommendations lol). Their home is so beautifully redone and it was convenient to the beach and strand. They had everything stocked and even had bottled water in the fridge! Highly recommend!
