The property does need some work. The floors were uneven and there was a pile of renovation debris with nails/screws sticking up next to car port. The house was clean, the host was available and responded quickly to text messages and the proximity to the beach was great. Only stayed 2 nights, so with the added fees it was a bit pricey. We did enjoy our stay.

I saw that debris after you left someone must’ve have thought it was ok to dumb it next to my house 🙄. It’s been removed Peggy. Sorry about that

We came to stay here a second time for an anniversary trip with some close friends and our fur babies. Such a perfect location with great beach access only a few steps away. The host is so welcoming and friendly and chill, I felt very safe and comfortable here both times I have stayed. Anytime I come to Galveston in the future for any reason, this is the house I will rent!

None of the inside doors actually locked and shut without some elbow grease. One of the bathroom doors did not shut at all, so we had to move a table in front of the door to hold it closed. Other than this, it is a cute little house and we enjoyed our stay

Quaint Place Very Near Beach

We had a great stay in Galveston! The house was clean upon arrival and was super comfortable for our party of 7. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were cozy, we had plenty of hot water, and the a/c worked great! Proximity to the beach was excellent as well!

The only positive thing about this house is the location. Unfortunately the rest was not so good! The house is rundown… it shakes, it lopsided, water damage is seen throughout the house. With the huge front door gap I’m not sure why you need the door at all. Bunch of ants came through that door and decided to share the weekend with us! Had to find the spray and take care of them! Honestly I was a bit embraced in front of my family that I booked the house like that but the house looked very good on the pictures. On the positive side the size of the house is very nice, spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. Location is perfect as well! It just needs sooooo much work before anyone can stay there without any concerns.

The house will be completely updated by next week with new ceiling, cabinets and countertops. The ants were coming in from the rain and nothing anyone can do about ants except kill them one we see them. Never has that happened but it was fixed right away.
