Fantastic location! Great for a family. Walking distance to Moody Gardens. My grandson enjoyed fishing from the doc! Home was very clean, a little dated! Would rent it again!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful place. So peaceful to sit out on the deck in the morning and drink my coffee and then in the evening have a nice cold drink.
The house is in great location! It’s roomy and the backyard with the deck is so nice!! There was a cat that perched on the back porch whining and acting like it wanted in. I tapped on the window and it ran off.

Fun house for a Galveston stay
Perfect house for a quick weekend getaway for my family to do a little fishing, hang out on the beach, and hit up local restaurants. The house was a comfortable fit for us and had everything we needed. We loved having the deck to hang out together outside (make sure you bring mosquito spray!). Also saw some prior reviews but wanted to mention the AC worked great
Great property in a good location, nicely appointed interior with a great deck for relaxing and close to all the great Galveston attractions.

Amazing stay!
Great place to relax after our busy city visits, was located in a quiet neighbourhood just a short drive to the beach.
The layout suited our family and the outside areas were lovely to relax in and enjoy the lake and sunshine.
Would definitely use again if we visit Galveston in the future.
Overall it was a lovely property in a beautiful location! When we checked in, there was trash left (see photos) throughout the house which wasn’t the nicest. But my friends greatly enjoyed the deck and were overall quite comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at this home very much.
The home was very comfortable and clean. Location was awesome! Just takes a few minutes to get to the beach and all the restaurants and stores. My husband enjoyed fishing off the boat dock and actually caught some fish. Sitting out on the deck was very relaxing and peaceful. We woulld book this home again for a vacation in Galveston.
Loved the house. Grandkids loved the dock. Great location,

Short trip to make memories for husband on hospice
Everything was great. We didn’t get to stay our whole trip but would come back again. Some areas were not as clean as I would have liked to see but overall was a great stay.

The best spot in Galveston
This place is quite literally the best spot in Galveston. It's not far from the strand or from the beach and the neighborhood is very inviting and relaxing. The deck is wonder full and the house is great for bigger groups. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Galveston.
The place was amazing. Really enjoyed staying at this property with my family. We were here for our Granddaughters gymnastics competition. The property was perfect location, only five minutes away from the gymnastics at convention center. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Gareth and Chastidy.

The home itself is beautiful and spacious with everything you need in the kitchen to cook simple meals. We would happily stay here over and over again!’ -Josie stayed April 2022 ‘This is a beautiful home with a breathtaking back yard and deck area. Was a very quiet neighborhood as well, which was a nice rest after the fun at the seawall. Highly recommend this place!’ -Kris stayed October 2022
What makes this property unique
