The home is clean, organized, everything is thought of! Amazing Experience with the host. Very pleased with our stay. Great spot for before a cruse departure!
We came to town headed on a cruise and the location of the place is very convenient to the port. Everything was as described and I would definitely come back to stay again.

The house is an older house but in great condition. The inside was great and clean. We had a very nice time here and the price was not bad. I will be staying here again in the near future and i will be telling others about it.
We stayed one night prior to boarding our cruise. Was the perfect location. House was cute and clean. Several nice places to eat and shops for those last minute things.
The house is everything you could hope for. Beautiful and clean. So comfortable! Our host, John, is great!!
It's close to The Strand and the cruise terminals, and also just a short drive to the beach.
My family and I loved it....and highly recommend staying here.
Check-in was EASY and we had no problems with getting in and settled. Host was very easy to get in touch with and attended to any needs we had.
The beds were soooo comfortable and everyone slept well. The neighborhood is quiet, the house temperature is perfect, and they had everything we needed.
It's close to everything you want to do in the Galveston area. Can't wait to return!
