We had a great time.

It's a very nice spacious house, close to the beach. Since I'm over 65 with bad knees the stairs were a little too much for me. However my family loved it.

Great place to stay for a large group

We were 12 senior adults who stayed here before our cruise. The house is large with lots of room for everyone inside and out . The house was a short easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Would definitely stay again

Cute place

Easy to work with, great response and layout worked perfect. Loved the fire pit and porch. A couple of the beds could be updated as well as a little more thorough clean in the bathrooms. Overall super cute place with a nice location.

Yep

Location was good, everything was ok, but it needs more towels. We normally eat meals when we do vrbo, we didn’t this time but just looking around I think we would have be upset with the amount of kitchen utensils.

The Place To Be

The house is beautiful and well kept. Freshly painted outside and the yard is well kept. Inside the house we were amazed with all the amenities. Plenty of plate, cups, glasses and silverware, pots and pans, etc. bedrooms all had a theme and bathrooms were well stocked. The owner even had a laminated sheet of how-to-do with WiFi info and tv as well. She even has two parking passes which are necessary in a lot of places in Galveston. And the dining table sits at least ten and perfect for a rousing game of chicken foot dominoes. We highly recommend this home to stay in.

Nice Place for a Family Stay

The property is conveniently located two blocks east of the Grand Valdez hotel and 5 blocks from the pleasure pier. It was chilly, as might be expected in December, so we didn't get a chance to sit outside to see the glimpse of the gulf. The house is stocked with basic essentials. Remember to bring your beach things if you plan on spending time at the beach. The house has two separate living areas (up and down) so the kids have a separate place to play, including two TVs. I would book this again.

Great house, great experience!

House was super close to the beach and close to all the Galveston attractions. We had 7 of us for Thanksgiving week and it was just great with 5 bedrooms and 2 living spaces. House has a good layout with plenty of room. Judy was very responsive and we had an issue with a bathroom door and she got someone out to fix it.

Judy was a great owner. We ran out of a couple of things and she explained the process (that we didn’t know, because of being rookies) but still brought those items to us. Would recommend all her properties.

Galveston - Sep 2023

This house was perfect for our group. We were 2 families so each had a floor to themselves. We gathered in the living room and dining room with space for all of us. This house is very close to the beach and we could walk to local restaurants. Truly an excellent location.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Ellis

Host profile image
My husband and I have always loved Galveston and have owned property there since 1984. We have been bringing our family here for years and have watched it grow. We never get bored here there is always something going on. It is an amazing island from the historic district to the new Pleasure Pier. Our grandkids also love the island especially Schlitterbahn water park and Moody Gardens.

Why they chose this property

Bought this house so I can sit on my porch and see and hear the ocean. Loved the location near the parade route and lots of restaurants! I also love living behind the seawall.
