Host was helpful. Unit was clean. We ended up parking in the street so we wouldn’t get blocked in the narrow entrance to the upstairs unit. Could use a tv in the bedroom & darker curtains. Overall for our one night stay prior to heading out on our cruise the bed was comfy

Great location

Great location. The beach, Pleasure Pier and many restaurants are nearby within walking distance. Property was as described and worth what I paid. I would stay there again.

Nice little getaway!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights on a quick weekend getaway! It was perfect for what we needed. We had a little trouble with the keyless entry but the host was very quick to respond and get it sorted out!

This may just be me, though I understand its on the island amd its older. With a update like the flooring otherwise for the price I expected more. Over 300 for two nights, ants in the tub, dead bugs on The wall, wifi didn't work, power was shortening out, only two face towels for two days between my husband and I after walking the seawall and being on the beach. I would have canceled if I could have gotten my money back. Will not be staying here ever again.

My GF and I came down to Galveston for a night because we both had the day off. We chose this property bc of the proximity to the beach and lots of options for restaurants and the reviews looked mostly good for this place. It wasn’t entirely clear from the photos/description but the property has 4 units and one shared driveway. We opted to not park in the driveway so we wouldn’t get blocked in so I parked on the street. Trash cans were all in the way so I had to move them first. The morning we were trying to leave there was a car parked right behind me so I had to do a twelve point turn just to get my vehicle out. Property looked unkept and trash bags left outside by other residents were torn open by the patio. Check in process was easy. Window unit ACs couldn’t get the room cold enough so we didn’t sleep very well at all. Bed was uncomfortable. The two pillows on the bed were very thin. Couch didn’t look like the one in the photo and was very uncomfortable too - you could feel the springs underneath. TV didn’t work right - kept resetting to the home page on commercials. I couldn’t get hot water in the shower. Overall it was not a good stay and I would not recommend staying here especially for the price. A hotel would have been a better choice.

Multiple things broken. Nasty stained couch and bugs. Arrived to the Vrbo with it not being cleaned from the previous visitors. Sheets and towels all over the floor and WiFi didn’t work.

Accommodating owner and great space

Overall I would definitely stay here again. There was a little hiccup when I first arrived with the keypad not opening the door, but I texted the owner and got a response right away. She was able to move me to another unit on the property that ended up being perfect. She also was understanding when my kids and husband needed to come down (we were there for a loved one’s hospital stay that was not going well). Erika made everything so easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Disappointed in pricing for the accommodations as the pictures and descriptions made place more inviting. Sorry, I don't believe I could recommend staying unless upgrades were made to justify the rate.
