The host was responsive from the moment I booked. Easy check-in and easy check-out. It was our first time being in Galveston. We wanted to explore the town, but since we only had one night at the property, we wanted to enjoy the amenities and the ambience of the property.

I think the parking was our only issue. But we made it happen by parking behind the car in the drive. One across from the house.

Our group had a fantastic time at this beautiful and well-maintained house. The A/C was a lifesaver and kept the house incredibly comfortable throughout our stay. The clean bathrooms and spacious, fully-equipped kitchen were both major highlights. The common spaces are generous and easily accommodate a large group. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and found ample parking on the street across from the house. A minor point of feedback is related to parking: a heads-up in the house manual that the driveway blocks a public walkway would be a great addition, as we were ticketed. Other than that, we had a very pleasant and restful stay.

Great location

The house is great, especially for larger groups. You can't get a better location either. It was the perfect distance for all the popular Galveston attractions. The beds were so comfortable as well, so that's a big plus! It was a bit hot upstairs during the day, but luckily it cooled down at night, so that was okay. We would book this house again!

You state there are 3 parking places but there is only ONE‼ There is only room for one car between the red marked curbs in front and you cannot park in the driveway because it blocks the sidewalk. The parking police told me he would give me a ticket if I parked there.You have shuffleboard but cannot play because there isn’t enough waxy granules to make the pucks slide.There are no towel racks in either bathroom so you have to put them on the floor or take them with back to your bedroom.We would not stay here again even for a lesser price…..

Old of course but needs a lotta work on outside. Outdoor furniture had dirt & leaves all over it. Underpinning on house loose all around .Needs a paint job & wood floor inside needs caulk ( can see thru in places). And parking instructions say you can park in driveway in front but don’t . We got a 75 ticket. Only other parking is on street which I checked several times nightly. Beds were comfortable tho . Upstairs got hot by lunch but cooled off in time for bed. Location worked great for us

Great spot to lay our heads before our cruise

We booked this property for 1 night ahead of a cruise and the group adored this house and enjoyed the convenience of walking to dinner and to grab coffee. Some who stayed even walked to the royal caribbean port and actually were able to hoard before those of us who began ordering an uber at the same time time

Good Location

It was ok. There are repairs that need made. Bathroom doors not closing easily, dishwasher not secured to the cabinet, downstairs bathroom tub does not drain, the sink is missing a leg. Also, the house was extremely hot when we arrived, smelled of sewer and there are ANTS in the kitchen. For the price we were disappointed with the overall conditions. We only stayed one night, so we overlooked all the issues.
