Property was super nice and clean! Decorated really cute and the beds were comfy!! Our ONLY complaint was the bedrooms are warm and not much airflow, otherwise absolutely perfect stay! Love the deck and we spent the majority of our time outside! Super close to the water!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your experience—we’re so glad you loved this home, the comfy beds, and especially the deck! It really is a great spot to soak in the breeze and enjoy the view. We appreciate the feedback about the bedroom airflow and are looking into ways to improve guest comfort in those spaces in our hot, humid and island environment. We'd love to welcome you back anytime for more beachside relaxation, Kara!

Great Getaway!

We loved our stay at Aloha! Perfect location in a safe neighborhood. Very Short walk to the beach! House is super clean and the beds and bedsheets are the best! Additionally all furniture is chosen with love and we really felt at home! We were able to bring our dogs, which makes it even more enjoyable! We definitely will rent this house again!

Happiest of New Years

This house has a great location only two blocks from the beach. The interior of the home was actually cuter/nicer than it appears online. It was well stocked with all we needed for our short stay. We could not get the outdoor party lights to work but I know the electrician had just come to change out that plug so the property management team was working on it. The only other issue we had was a bug in the silverware drawer, which could happen anywhere. I notified them so they could get a pest control visit. I would stay here again, although the tight spiral staircase would make me nervous if I had very young children. The house was clean and well cared for.

Fabulous stay in adorable Aloha!

The property was so stunning, and our family (4 adults and a 3-year-old) had a lovely time in balmy Galveston. The house was so cute, the couch and beds were very comfy, and it was an easy 2-block walk to the beach. The decorations were so festive! I loved the Hawaiian theme. The 4 queen beds and children's toys in the upstairs bunk room were all great. My son loved all of the children's books and graphic novels. The only items I missed included in some rentals we considered were beach chairs/toys. A couple tissue boxes and a little more shampoo/conditioner/body wash per person also would have been appreciated. Do pay heed to the warnings about the teeny-tiny spiral staircase; it was a little treacherous. The downstairs shower door also was pretty hard to open/close. Parking and checkin/out were super easy; the outdoor shower and outdoor furniture were lovely to use. Our dog was very comfortable and we were so glad to get to bring him. Kitchen fully stocked and we cooked some fun meals. I loved the giant TV in the living room too; we had a fun movie night. We definitely would stay here again!

We had a great time at Aloha House! The property was exactly what we were looking for - a nice, cozy beach house close to the beach. The house was very clean and the layout perfect for our family. The hosts were extremely easy to communicate with and even had a gift basket for us on arrival. The beds were very comfortable and the bath towels were top of the line quality. The beach is a 3-5 min walk away. This was our first stay on Pirate Beach and we thought it was the best Galveston beach we’ve experienced. The neighborhood was also really nice and felt safe the whole time we were there. We would definitely book this property again!

Everything was great and communication was fast and easy. We stayed at the property after a tropical storm and were concerned with what the island as a whole may look like. Hosts put our fears at ease and everything was great for our family.

Thank you for the kind review, Micah! We're so glad we could help put your minds at ease and that your family had a great stay. Life on the coast sometimes comes with a little extra drama from Mother Nature, but the island is remarkably resilient and always ready to welcome it's guests back. We're thrilled everything went smoothly and that our Crew could make the experience easy from start to finish. We hope to host your family again for another beach getaway, perhaps with a little less storm excitement next time!

Clean. Easy communication with property manager

Thank you for the 5-stars and choosing to stay with us! We're so glad you found the house clean and comfortable for your getaway time. Not sure why the internet service was a little slow and sorry the smoke detector battery was running low during your stay. They always seem to misbehave at the most inopportune times. We'd love to have you back!

Mahalo Aloha House

Overall great property with the cutest theme and style. Also very prompt responses once you get the direct 979 customer care line once inside the home. Unfortunately we had some serious cleanliness issues discovered late at night in the upstairs bathroom despite the 979 claim of being the “cleanest” but they did their utmost to correct the situation quickly (although I had to clean bathroom myself out of disgust at midnight) They had cleaners come out ASAP the next day once I informed them with photo evidence and even though there was only two concerns within the home the cleaners completely re-cleaned the entire home, changed all linens, left fresh towels and even ran the dishwasher for us. Aside from that it was a 5 star stay with easy access to Pirates Beach!

And Mahalo to you! We appreciate the 5-stars and noting this home's attractive themed decor. The owners of this home, in our opinion as well, have great taste! Yes, we do take clean and comfortable very seriously as you can tell by our immediate response and action. While our field managers and housekeepers do their very best and work very hard (especially in peak season), once in a great while, something gets missed. Sorry about that. We do appreciate you noting our housekeepers coming back and going above and beyond. I believe your words thereafter were "spotless"!
