A short walk away from the beach - nice and clean!

This little place is perfect for a couple or small family. The bathroom has a nice big shower and the kitchenette provides all you need. The main bed and pull-out sofa bed are nice. All linens are nice and clean. The only thing I would change is the location of the AC unit as it's located right over the main bed and their bedspread is pretty thin so bring an extra blanket! Would definitely recommend and we would stay here again!

Cute little cabin near the water

Place is just as advertised, it’s got the essentials you’d need for a quick pit stop. Would have liked some better showers but that’s our only complaint. We stayed here for a night before our cruise from Galveston terminal. All in all it’s a great budget friendly place with access to good restaurants and amenities.

The unit is cozy but comfortable. It’s close to the beach and offered lovely air conditioned comforts after long days out exploring. We were able to walk to lots of sights: haunted houses on Broadway, the historic Strand area, Pleasure Pier, tree sculptures, and Cordray Pharmacy. Host was very quick to reply and was kind to accommodate our need for a late check out. Nothing fancy, but great value for the money.

Not at all how it is described. Pictures do not do it justice at all. No actual fridge just a mini fridge. No stove or oven. One bed and it’s a queen. The couch pulls out into a bed but it is painful to sleep on. We weren’t even the only guests disappointed. We have 4 other family’s who asked us if this is what it was described as. The air was the worst part. We reached out to maintenance and manager and you hey came and said it had to cool off. Too hot. The tv was terrible and had spots all over the screen. The manager didn’t care. And the ac had mold in it.

Cute & cozy

Very cute. We stayed in #10. They do have stairs but they also how units on lower level. Just enough room for a comfortable stay. The bed maybe be small(full..maybe queen) but very comfortable. Host was very nice. Checked in to make sure we are settled and checked in before we left. There are grills and picinic tables for you to use. A small kitchen area with a hot plate if you want to cook. Walking distance to the beach.Will definitely stay again!!
