Awesome stay in Galveston

Stayed at the Blue Mermaid for two nights before a cruise. The house was awesome, beautifully decorated with everything we needed. Location was great t- close to beach, restaurants, Strand and the cruise terminal so couldn't ask for better. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others.

Came for a short fun trip with our grandchildren. Although the weather wasn’t perfect, Galveston has so many other things to do, than just the beach. And the house was perfect.

Gorgeous house and short walk to the beach!

Super clean and cute house with everything we needed. Grocery store is only about 3 miles away and we loved that the beach is only a few blocks away and on a quiet, safe street. The Strand is also close as are many restaurants. We all slept well and the house is so quiet! Wifi was fast and stable for our needs and we took advantage of the smart TVs. Happy to return here for our next visit as well as recommend to our friends!

Nice place

Had a good time. The only downfall was we were vacation and paid the cleaning fee for the unit to be cleaned. Read the welcome book. We had to wash all of our bath towels we used, put all the dishes in the dishwasher and start it. Again when you are charging a cleaning fee that is what you are paying for. Don’t get me wrong we are very clean adults and do not leave any place we stay at a mess. I do not think we will stay in this unit again

Thank you for your feedback — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you had a good time overall, but we're sorry to learn that the departure instructions impacted your stay. We understand that expectations around cleaning fees can vary, and your comments are valuable as we continue to improve the guest experience. Our intention with light checkout steps, like starting the dishwasher and placing used towels in the laundry area, is to help streamline the cleaning process for our team — not to shift responsibilities to our guests. That said, we absolutely respect your perspective and will take your feedback into consideration moving forward. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
