Property was easy to find. It was very clean and laid out well. We enjoyed the coffee! We were disappointed that we couldn’t find the TV remote. But all in all, it’s a great place. Very close to the port terminal.

Area

Be sure to check the area before booking, family with two grandkids age 5 and I felt very uncomfortable being in the area, never got out of the truck, could not even turn into the very small drive and was on a single lane side street with only one way in and out.

What a wonderful stay. From traveling to arrive and during our stay, Dante was easy to communicate and on top of questions. We were able to drop our luggage off a little early and went out to explore. On our return the property was clean and cool. Close to the Strand and cruise port but easy enough to drive to the beach and Walmart as well. We would definitely be willing to stay again if we are back in Galveston. Thank you Dante for a great pre-cruise rental.

Great place to stay prior to your cruise!

The house was very close to the terminals, restaurants and the beach! It was clean and the pictures looks just like it does in person. They had items available that I didn't realize I would need (coffee & creamer) which was great! Dante recommended several restaurants and we chose one. It was just several blocks away and right on the beach. The food was great and fast.

Loved the rental

The pictures and the description were accurate. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and appeared to be pretty new on inside. Will definitely be staying there again for my next 2 cruises. Love that it is maybe 2 miles from the port.

After Christmas Vacation

Communication with owner was excellent. House had everything we needed for a 2 night stay in Galveston. Parking is a little difficult with neighbors parking on both sides and the road being a dead end. Some cosmetic fixes and updates needed, and furniture could use a deep clean and new throw pillows. Overall, I would stay again.

Disliked: Location

run down neighborhood, disappointing supplies

Neighborhood was sketchy. House was partially remodeled and felt barren. Not much in the way of decorating. Very little kitchen supplies. We hade to use an old mixing bowl to make a salad. Condiments were sparse and what there was, were very old. Backyard and front yard were both overtaken with weeds. Would not stay here again.
