Wonderful

Our stay was all over wonderful and relaxing. 3 queens size beds, full bathroom, kitchen and living area. Was very clean and had everything we needed. It has a full ac unit, wall unit, And window unit so we were very comfortable temp wise. While the master bedroom bed was a bit firmer than expected the other 2 bunk beds were very comfortable. We will be staying here again for sure!

Spring Break Get Away

Overall, the property was absolutely beautiful! It was spotless and well-maintained upon our arrival. The hosts were incredibly kind and easily accessible whenever we had questions. The listing is in a fantastic location, just a short distance from several beaches, docks, and activities in Galveston.

Everything was perfect in this wonderful loft stay! It was exactly what my sisters and I were looking for in a sibling getaway. Within walking distance from the strand and only a short drive away from the Seawall — couldn’t recommend this location enough!

Great location to food , shopping and beach. Pics do not show how big this space actually is. We had three teens and the bunk beds were perfectly and plenty of seating for everyone. Kitchen is complete with everything you need to cook meals. Some of the reviews mentioned the windows not closing all the way and although there were 4 that had the foam in the cracks the AC worked great and it stayed nice and cool the whole stay no matter the time of day. Mind you it’s an older building in the middle of July so that’s great!!! Bathroom is on the small side but plenty of mirrors around the space to do hair and makeup at . There were a few other families staying at the same time in the other rentals but it’s a nice and quiet space. We come to Galveston every few years and try new spaces to stay but I honestly will probably book here again.

Great property and great management!

We chose this property for the proximity to the cruise port and shopping/eating selections before our Disney cruise and boy were we happy with our choice! Even with of family size of 6, the property was spacious and we never felt cramped at all! And Russell was amazing at answering any questions I had with extreme promptness! We will definitely be looking to rent this property again soon!

It was a great place close to all the shops in the Strand district. We have been coming to Galveston a long time. We come 3-5 times a year, and we really enjoyed being off of the Seawall!

We loved our stay here! We came into town for Chili Fest and were pleased that we were only 3 blocks away from the strand! The Loft is spacious and clean. We got lucky and were able to park right in front of the building for free! The loft came with everything we needed. It is a historic building so when the wind picked up, the loft would make noises. However, we didn't mind one bit! It was awesome being a piece of Galveston history!! We definatly will be back!

Galveston retreat

Exactly like the pics. 90% clean . (Carpet needs vacuuming; upside down coffee cups were sticking to shelf, rims were dirty). Very spacious. Bed clean and very comfy. Several available movie stations!! Loved that we could walk over to the Strand and found a couple of great restaurants. Overall excellent experience!

Great place!

Over all very nice place, the location is excellent for walking around. I had no parking issues. The only thing I might say would be it could use some touch ups on the walls and paint in the bathroom. The beds were just a little to firm for my comfort but It wouldn’t keep me from returning and renting again. Excellent communication from the owner and very easy controlled access in a really cool old building.

Royal Caribbean Spring Break

Very spacious and clean. The bed in master was comfortable and the children slept well in the full sized bunk beds. It would be very nice to have had two bath rooms with shower and vanity. The stairs are a challenge to negotiate with heavy luggage (or no luggage at all). Two of the boards are cracked and seemed to be on the verge of breaking. We have stayed with you on two occasions now and knew what to expect. Very convenient to the Royal Caribbean port.

Nice but hard to sleep

Beautiful historic loft. Old school feel. Just a few downfalls. 1. Too warm in bedroom to sleep. Also the battery to the remote did not work in bedroom to leave the fan on and not the light. So slept on the couch where it was cooler. Also, the street outside is so loud. Lots of noisy radios with bass and people reving their engines. And lots of sirens throughout the night. The bathroom also needs updated. Shower knob was broke and door to shower was hard to close and baseboards were dirty.

Beautiful and clean

This renovated historical loft was absolutely beautiful and nice and clean. There is a gorgeous chandelier in the kitchen area and we loved the open airy floor plan with gorgeous natural light. There were a few things to note. There was a very tall, steep staircase leading up to the apartment that we did not see listed anywhere. We had my mom with us who has trouble climbing stairs and we didn’t know if she would be able to make it up and down them. She did manage, but it would have been nice to know this before we got there. Also, the handles to open and close the blinds in the beautiful windows are about 7 feet in the air and only one of us was tall enough to (barely) reach them to close the blinds. As wonderful as the location was, it was very noisy with motorcycles, loud vehicles blaring music and people shouting and talking loudly in the street outside until about 3 am. Now that we know what to expect, we would still book this location again because it was a great space. I just like knowing what to expect before hand so we can make plans to adjust. All in all, it was a great stay.
