What a fun little house lots of games that the kids absolutely loved. They wanted to come back home rather than go out and do things on the island. That’s how much fun the house was.!

Thank you so much for sharing this—it means a lot to hear the kids enjoyed the games and had such a great time at the house. We’re glad it felt fun and comfortable enough that they wanted to stay in, and we hope to welcome you all back on your next visit.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
This place was really dirty when we had arrived. You do have to be out by 10am and you also needto clean all the towels, strip bedding, start dish washer, clean fridge. The back and front porch has lose boards, so we weren’t able to allow our children outside due to being worried of them being hurt or falling off the balcony. Was not worth the money we spent to stay here

The house is great. Plenty to do and enjoy about the house. Its conveniently located. Be aware there is a contract youll be expected to sign for pets with restrictions, along with a policy of no guests that are not listed in the contract, so no new friends. It wasnt a problem on my trip, but knowing those things up front would be helpful.

We had fun and glad our pet was able to go with us. We really enjoyed our time in the house. Being able to play games and grill was so awesome. Really felt like a home and made it even better.

Beach Weekend

This house was in the perfect location for the tournament we were in town for. It met our families needs well and is super cute. The only hiccup we encountered was not being able to locate the power cord for the infinity table. My big kids loved the ping pong/pool table and my little kids enjoyed trying to play the arcade game. Will book again next year, if available.

There is no shortage of fun in this house, especially for kids. It was carefully thought out as far as the games and activities go. My daughter loved the Simpsons arcade, pool table, ping pong, electronic game table and at bed time she really enjoyed the books. The house was built in 1902 so it has a lot of charm. It had an historic/costal vibe to it. I can appreciate old, but I must warn others that not a single door inside the house closes at all! The doors are literally falling apart and so if you care about any privacy what so ever, this would be an issue and in my option, is completely unacceptable. The backyard looks like it’s never had a landscape clean up, so there are definitely critters back there. The sofa in the living room is torn in several places and covered up with a blanket. Overall, I will say that we did have a great time and appreciated that there are good chairs to take to the beach and it is centrally located right between The Strand and the beach so there is lots to do. However, I can’t say that I would stay here again.

Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback and for noting the fun activities and convenient location. I’m glad your daughter enjoyed the games and books, and that you had a great time overall. I’m very sorry about the issues with the doors, backyard, and sofa, and understand how frustrating that must have been. Your comments are very helpful and will be used to address these concerns and improve the home.

House was good for most part but a lot of older parts in the house which made things a bit sensitive. Doors where hard to open and close but everything was good for the most part

Galveston Vacation

The property was adequate for our families needs, the game table and infinity table were a big hit and got used a lot at night for some intense ping pong and board game sessions. The kitchen floor could have used a good scrubbing to remove the oily greasy feeling and film off of the tile and needs to be treated for ants, but overall it was a good fit for our family everyone had their own bed.
